Fleurs Nobles: De La Quinne

The De La Quinne family is a formidable player in the social landscape of Vertange. 
As one of the Fleurs Nobles, they command vast resources and have their schemes tangled through a lot of what high society has to offer, from balls to the court of the Emperor himself.

Due to the power that inherently comes with this, the family sees division within its own ranks while presenting a united front to the outside. In order to prevent the internal division sowing discord within their ranks, the family has chosen four areas on which to focus and assigned family Elders to each task, with a Regent, an Enforcer and an Heir for each branch. Should something happen to the Elder, the Regent can take over until the Heir can realise their potential. The Enforcer steps in when disputes within the family branch happen.

For the Court of Shadows, those who serve as the hands and eyes for the Night Queen, this Elder is Rosa. Wise and cunning, this schemestress has held on to her position for over thirty years, elevated from the status of Heir at the young age of 35. 
As Regent, she has chosen Sofia, the current High Priestess of the Night Queen. Her Enforcer is not of the blood, but married into it: Isidora Sevresa, who in turn is the mother of Jean-Jacomo, the Heir of Shadows.

For the Court of Coins, the ones who focus on dominating trade and the public relations for the family, the Elder is Julia. Julia has an innate sense for the good in people and the ways in which she can bend that to the advantage of the De La Quinne. 
As Regent, she has Damiano, the master of the Docks. Cosimo, a retired battlefield captain with a soft spot for cats, serves as the Enforcer. The Heir of Coins is Casimina, a talented tradeslady just past her temps du Gallina.

The Court of Crimson is where the military power of the family is concentrated. Led by Silvio, a dashing silver fox with an immaculately kept moustache, the Court of Crimson is known to be active in many dueling competitions and exhibitions, though they cannot match the sheer skill of the Benotti. 
The Regent of the Crimson is Viviane, a markswoman who can spell out her name in arrows at a range of 100 meters. The Enforcer is Giada, wielder of the Trident of the Third Wave, a legendary weapon said to have belonged to an ancient pirate lord. The Crimson Heir is Ilana, winner of the last two Grand Melees.

The Court of Masks has been extremely closely aligned with the Court of Shadows under the rule of Elder Beatricé. An intelligent lady who knows well the tides of preference within society, Beatricé has aligned with Rosa after a vision of the Night Queen promised her great power.
The Regent, Alessia, is not fully in agreement with the arrangements made by Beatricé but she is willing to wait for an accident to happen to the Elder before making a move against the Shadows.
Enforcer Martino is a dour man, but his permanent scowl is usually seen as a sign he is deep in thought rather than just bitter. Stella, the Heir, has recently seen her fiftieth summer, making her the youngest of Heirs, but she has spent much of her childhood observing how the Fleurs interact and begins to form her own opinions as to how she will run the Masks once she comes into power.
