"I believe I am alright, it has just been so long since I had legs, or a body like this really. I haven't had to put weight on my legs for so long, they are just having some trouble adjusting it seems. " she gave him a thankful smile. "It does seem it has." She stepped back a bit, and, though it was clumsy, she gave him a curtesy before introducing herself. "I am Babette Deplume, it is a pleasure to meet you Monsieur. "

Babette was very thankful that the man had stepped into save her from a dreadful fall. So much so that she couldn’t bring herself to correct him on his ill grammar, though it did make her cringe internally.

“Oui, I mean yes. I do speak English.” She replied quickly to his question. “Thank you for catching me. It would be dreadful to fall in the company of others. ” she said, trying to maintain steady on her feet, though it had been so long since she had supported any weight. “You truly are a knight monsieur. ”

Robin breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that she spoke English, good, he wouldn’t have to embarrass himself further with his terrible French. “You’re very welcome, miss. Are you all right? Do you need to sit down?” She still seemed a little wobbly, and he didn’t want to let her go only to have her fall on her face. “I guess all that squiring paid off, then.” He chuckled.

Babette gave Adam a quick, yet quite shaky and clumsy curtsy, a shining smile on her face. “I can not believe it. There is hope then, the others, they maybe here too! ” she said joyously. Even if they weren’t, at least she had a small part of her family, though of course she would prefer if they all were together once again.

“I am quite glad to see you master. I was beginning to think I was alone here as well. And quite honestly, no matter how this all happened, we are human again. ” she said, her face shining with joy.

Babette was still in shock. She had hands again! And legs! She could finally walk again! Well she could kind of walk again. She was having trouble supporting her legs after not being able to walk for so long. She was so amazed at the fact that she was human again, that it didn’t even matter in the end.

She stumbled down the street, hoping to find a familiar face, when she felt someone run into. At his apology, she replied “Ne vous inquiétez pas. Je vais bien.” She turned towards the man with a smile, that only grew wider as she recognized the face from so long ago. “Mon Dieu! Master! It’s you! So the curse really must have been broken!”

The French was music to his ears, finally something familiar in this strange place. He took a hopeful second glance at the person he had accidentally ran into. When blue eyes fell upon a familiar figure, the corners of his lips pulled into a smile. It was none other then Babette, another of the staff that had been cursed with him. His family, as strange as it was; at least more his family then his father had ever been. “Babette?” He replied, his unsure voice accompanied by a hint of relief. Before the curse he only knew her as the beautiful maid, but now she was so much more. “Oh thank god you’re here. I was beginning to think I was alone.” He confessed. “I’m not sure it was, but what does it matter if we’re all ourselves again.” It did matter, of course, but after everything he had put the girl through he wasn’t about to take the smile from her face.

Darkness . That was the last thing that plumette remembered. She remembered growing stiff, as everything faded to darkness. But now here she was, light shining in her face. She moved her hand to cover her eyes from the bright light, before quickly sitting up, examining her hand. It was a hand! Her hand. She looked down at herself, finding feet, and legs! She giggled excitedly “I’m human again! Je suis humain à nouveau!!!”

She quickly attempted to jump up, though standing did prove to be much harder when it had been so long since one had walked. She began to stumble as she tried to put weight, falling over on a unexpecting passerby. “Oh non! Mes excuses!”

Babette was finally attempting to get used to walking again. Granted she still stumbled, and was not nearly as graceful as she once was, but she was getting that gracefulness back each step she took. She did walk slower than she was used to, hoping not to trip and fall on her face, which had already happened so many times.

When she felt someone touch her arm, she initially was quite startled. She jumped slightly, and turned towards the woman who spoke to her, her smile widening as she did. "Mon Dieu! Belle, you are here! Is it really you? It must be! Don't you recognize me. Pardon, I'm being silly. Of course you don't! It's me, Babette!" She said, stumbling slightly towards the girl. "The curse has been broken! I am human again! And so is the master! Belle you must have done it, you saved us! "

                       —– it might’ve been considered STALKING, that which she was currently doing, but there was something incredibly familiar about the other.  belle felt drawn in, following from a few steps behind. complicated that most everyone she knew would be unrecognizable, which made seeking them out further trying.  there were those she might have spotted right away, unfortunately the bulk of them weren’t considered anyone that she’d WANT to see, with the exception of her papa.

that voice. that was it, drawing her closer with a tilt of her head.  reaching out with a careful hand placed along the young woman’s arm, a book tucked up against her chest, she began – stammering.  “i’m sorry if this is incredibly weird, but do i know you from somewhere?  not here obviously.  what i’m meaning to ask is: have we met before?”

Now that some of the shock of being human again had worn off, Babette began to look for some sign of her loved ones. It was concerning to her that they were no where to be seen. As she walked around she heard a womans voice and turned to face her. "Well I can not say I know much about Africa mademoiselle but I do not believe this is it."

Jane looked around her quite obviously confused. Where was she? This was most definitely not her jungle tree home. Where was Tarzan, or her papa? In fact where were all of her family? Why was she surrounded by buildings? She spun around, spotting a stranger, and running over. “Um excuse me. Do you know where I am? Is this still Africa?? ”

“I- I don’t understand.” His voice was so soft, a whisper really, as his head flickered from side to side in confusion. Bright blue eyes moved frantically from the street to his soft hands, while his feet - not hoofs but feet - stepped erratically on the pavement. There was absolutely nothing familiar, not even the fragile human body he had not seen in years. In his confusion, his legs carried him the wrong way and he found himself running headfirst into another. “My apologies.” He managed to murmurer, as he backed away.

So I figured I should introduce Babette to all you lovely people!!

PERSONALITY

Babette is hella flirty. She knows she’s attractive, and she uses that to her advantage. She’s very passionate too. She has an opinion and she’s not afraid to let you know it. She definitely isn’t someone you want mad at you.

Babette does care a lot about what people think of her, but refuses to show it, instead always carrying herself with confidence. She is very witty, with quite a sharp tongue and a fierce personality.

HEAD CANNONS!!

-Babette chose the last name deplume out of panic when her new employer at the castle asked for her name.

-This eventually lead to her nickname, Plumette, a combo of her first name and her surname.

-Babette picked up from the women around her, learning from a young age how to use her good looks to get her way.

-It Doesn’t take a lot to truly anger Babette, but one sure way to do it is to treat anyone, especially women, as they are below others, that they are not worth as much.

-though all the issues it brought her, she is thankful for the castle taken her in, though she greatly misses her makeshift family back in Paris

Babette’s Back story is under the cut

 BABETTES BACKSTORY

Babette was born out of wedlock, to call girl, who had sadly died during childbirth. Now that didn’t mean Babette grew up alone. The women of Madame Deplumes Lupanar, where Babette’s mother had lived and worked, took Babette in as their own daughter. They raised her and loved her, especially one of the older women, Clemence, who Babette saw as a mother figure and loved quite dearly.

Now Madame Deplume saw that Babette was going to grow up to be a beautiful girl, much like her mother, and wanted to keep her, so that when she got older she could work for her. Clemence and the other women didn’t want that for Babette. They didn’t want her to lead the same life as they did. Luckily for them, Clemence had a younger sister, who had thankfully been able to get out of their life, and had become a maid at a castle by a small French town (the beasts castle). They had decided that Babette would be far away from the madams clutches there.

At the young age of 12, they were able to have everything set up, and were able to sneak Babette out of the city, where she was met Clemence’s sister and taken to the castle.

She was working there as a maid as the curse hit and she was transformed into a feather duster, and she waited many years for her release from this form.
