Fanon:Pâquerette Dortheimer

Pâquerette Dortheimer is a member of the 13th generation of the wealthy and dreaded Dortheimer legacy. She is so far along with Marigold Dortheimer the evillest, nastiest member of the family.

Pâquerette was born to Pélagie and Roger Horsepurple in the quiet town of Riverview. Her mother was one of the Dortheimer heirs being excessively rich, and she was also a famous ghost hunter. She quickly got a younger sister, Perlanne.

She developped a massive greed while she was still very young, and she had no friends at school. She only cared about herself and her money. She was incredibly jealous of her sister, who was the favorite, nice daughter, but no one ever noticed this hatred, not even Perlanne. She also was very curious and discovered the secret passageway her mother build beneath the house, which contained among others the shrine of Pélagie's brother Lucas.

Her stinginess and her jealousy drove her to madness when she became a teen, and her only goal in life was to see her sister pushing up daisies and to fully inherit her mother's wealth. Then her entire life revolved around this objective. However, many contigencies tended to thwart this plan. And Pâquerette thoroughtly strived to eliminate these embarassing troubles.

The first one appeared a little time prior her birthday. Her father was caught cheating on Pélagie with a local, Meadow Carpenter-Rhodes, but her mother refused to divorce him. Pâquerette feared that if Pélagie died before Roger, he would inherit the gold mine, since the two were married, and then everything would belong to Meadow after his death if they got married. And Pâquerette wouldn't have inherited a single penny. She therefore had to avoid this scenario, and decided to simply off her father and his mistress. But she had to be careful.

The opportunity to achieve this goal came when her mother and sister, who was really adventurous, went to Egypt together. She served the two lovebirds some waffles filled with digitalis, killing them. She had to get rid of the corpses, but what if someone found it? She then remembered the underground maze beneath the house. She build some new and hidden passages and had to make them inaccessible. She had truly no idea of how, but learnt about the legends of the Eyes of Horus thanks to a postcard received from her sister, telling that she would search those in the Abu Simbel tomb. Pâquerette had to find them before her sister, she had not to be seen in Al Simhara, and moreover, she had to leave no trace of a recent exploration. So she transfigurated a ghost, Wandrina Rubystone, with the lesser spirits her mother caught as a ghosthunter, and send her immedialtely to Al Simhara. Wandrina arrived barely before Perlanne and had just enough time to escape with the precious artefacts not to be seen by Perlanne. And when she came back, Pâquerette send her straight back in her shrine, and pervented her and her victim's ghosts to ever show up. She hid the three urns into the deepest segment of the maze, placed one Eye of Horus here and go back to the old part of the underground complex. She then condemned the passage behind a very thick wall and placed the other eye of Horus behind large and dense plants in the main, octogonal room from the hidden basement, called the Rainbow Room (described on Pélagie's page).

The locals noticed the disappearance of Roger and Meadow, but they thought they fled Riverview to be happy together somewhere else. And no one ever doubted that the two were dead and buried beneath the Dortheimer's mansion. And when Perlanne and Pélagie came back, Pâquerette feigned distraughtness and tried hypocritically to comfort the two; even buying Pélagie some adorable kittens. Her mother was so saddened by the thought her husband fled that she shut herself into her home and spend her entire time speaking crazily to herself, stroking her cats and visiting her brother's urn in the basement.

Pâquerette then began to set up a deadly trap to her sister in the maze, since she knew that if Perlanne learnt about the maze, she would automatically explore it as an experienced adventurer. And then, Pâquerette would be the sole heir of her mother's money. However, the setting was incredibly long, and moreover, while approaching death, Pélagie, who was visiting her brother, remarked the Eye of Horus behind the plants, and was teleported to the secret area. Hopefully for Pâquerette, she witnessed the event and followed her to keep her silent about her discoveries. She explained everything to Pélagie when the latter saw the urns, and while she was trying to escape, Pélagie suddenly reached the end of her life when the Grim Reaper came to take her. Pâquerette however forgot to "lock" her shrine like she did for Meadow, Wandrina and Roger, and moved it to the main part of the house. She was buried in the family cemetery next to her mother.

That's how Pâquerette and Perlanne both inherited one half of the family fortune each. Pâquerette bought a black horse, Pénélope, and build a large barn to take care of her. However, this was proven to be a mistake, as the beautiful and talented horse attracted a successful jockey named Lucien de la Grange, who fell in love with Perlanne, and the two married. Seeing this as another threat to her money, as Lucien could inherit Perlanne's money instead of her (besides Pâquerette, Perlanne had no immediate family). And she found herself in the obligation of icing her new brother-in-law. She succeeded, even if her sister had enough time to get pregnant with her daughter, Pervenche.

There she decided that time had come to finally get rid of her sister since the latter's daughter was too young to inherit anything and showed her the passageway to the maze, claiming she just discovered it. She followed her, eagerly waiting for Perlanne falling into her elecrical trap. However, when they came upon the Rainbow room, the ghost of their mother showed up and warned Perlanne about the creepy fate that awaited her. Seeing her plan definitely wrecked, Pâquerette lost the last, tiny part of her sanity and pounced on Perlanne. A huge brawl ensued, during which Pâquerette was projected through the purple door, which locked itself and hid a dead end. Pélagie told her daughter the only way to open it is to cry upon Pélagie's mother Gisèle's grave. However, Perlanne felt that her wretched sister did not deserved it and Pâquerette therefore starved to death in her purple jail.

Perlanne didn't even bother to take her urn to the cemetery, and her ghost was thus trapped in the room until a descendant from Pervenche came upon it and found back her grave...
