Fanon:Marie-Soleil Dortheimer

Marie-Soleil Dortheimer, AKA Madame Doom is a member of the 18th generation of the Dortheimer family. A fraudulent medium, she already gained thousands of Simoleons from gullible Sims.

=Biography=

Marie-Soleil Dortheimer was born in the sleepy town of Huntsville to the ancient constable Raymond Ronchon and the wealthy heir Huguette Dortheimer. An only child, her best friend was her distant cousin Fabienne Bourdon-Ménard. She lived in the red seashore villa with her parents, Fabienne and her mother's cousins Pierre and Stella.

She was soon fascinated by the supernatural world, and was particularly fond of Aliens, since Stella and Pierre were aliens themselves. However, Marie-Soleil was saddened that Stella and Pierre never went on any planet but Earth, being only the result of their late father's abduction by extraterrestrial beings. Her frustration of not knowing how aliens lived lead to her firm resolution of being abducted herself someday.

On a more pragmatic side, Marie-Soleil has always been attracted to luxury. She lived in a loaded family in a huge villa with a private beach. However she was rather nuerotic and feared the loss of her family's beloved fortune to the point of having nightmares. She wanted to ensure the sustainability of her safe's contents at all costs.

She went to university with her cousin Fabienne and the latter's boyfriend Robert but unlike them she took the Physics major. She was a rather average student until she was finally abducted by Aliens. She observed them with a keen eye during their experiments on her and when she returned, she had a brilliant yet highly roguish idea.

She decided to pretend that her extraterrestrial encounter gave her psychic abilities and to venture in Fortune-Telling.

She changed her major into Philosophy and began to practice her fictitious talents with other students. However, she did not hide the truth to her best friend and trusted her to not blab.

She graduated and got employed at a local permanent carnival filled with freaks, oddities and wonders. She settled in the previous, late fortune-teller Madame Fate's caravan and took the nickname of Madame Doom. She there met many skilled stage performers, like the sword-swallower, the daredevil diva and the mermaid.

As Madame Fate was a very famous clairvoyant, Marie-Soleil quickly retrieved Madame Fate's regulars who were missing her prophecies. Madame Doom told them their destinies by reading them tarot and glaring in her own crystal ball.

Marie-Soleil had great fun by predicting her guests dire futures. She knew they would be frightened a lot, but she knew that her predictions were totally bogus and that they are not at risk.

Despite her frequent gruesome words, she gathered a huge fanbase pretty much like her predecessor. The ones that believe her predictions come back to listen to the new developments of their fates (and Marie-Soleil usually tells them that stars moved and changed their awful fates, to keep them as regular costumers) and the ones that do not believe Marie-Soleil's prophecies come back as they find her predictions funny.

Her success and fame led her to riches, as her consultations were really pricey. However, the other carnies, who were overshadowed by Madame Fate in the past and were satisfied in her demise, did not like Madame Doom a lot as she stole the show like the late medium did, especially the Bearded Lady Lucy, whose long, very long beard was the carnival's most popular attraction until Madame Domm arrived. However, Marei-Soleil did not care at all.

Parallelly, she still lived in Huntsville with her family. For now single, she was eager to get married and get children. Her parents died and Fabienne and Robert got married. Robert and Stella were also rising stars in SimNation political spectrum as members of the huge DSU party.

During Robert's campaign for the presidential elections, she was hired by his campaign staff. She had to appear in the medias and to declare that lurid events would happen if Robert Ménard's main opponent and actual president Michel Dragarlan was reelected. Her apparitions, among other doubtful things orchestrated by the DSU, led to Robert's elections as SimNation president.

Despite being incredibly popular, her most pragmatic and sullen costumers forebode her fraudulous activities and did not digest the scam. Many tried to put an end to the shameless hoodwink but Marie-Soleil was utterly protected, first by Stella, who was Huntsville mayor, and after the presidential elections, she was even more sheltered, this time by the entire governement which had not less than three of her family members in it's ranks: Stella, Robert and a distant relative Victorine.
