Annette

Early Life
Born to House Dominic, Annette is its latest heir having the Crest of Dominic. Her father, Gustave was the former Baron of Dominic and an exemplary knight in service to King Lambert. In the Imperial Year 1176 the Tragedy of Duscur occurred in which he was not present. In shame for not being there to protect and die for his king, he suddenly left in a self-imposed exile, leaving behind Annette and her mother, who were upset by his departure. Gustave's younger brother, who took his title following his departure, took it to himself to care for the two.

Her uncle enrolled her in the Royal School of Sorcery in Fhirdiad where she had a natural gift for magic. She meets Mercedes here and the two become lifelong friends and future lovers. After merely a year at the academy, she graduates with top marks.

Academy Phase
Annette enrolls in Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy in Imperial Year 1180, and joins the Blue Lions under its house leader Dimitri. She along with Mercedes later join the Black Eagles.

In Imperial Year 1181, she absconds from House Dominic and becomes an Imperial Army general.

War Phase
In 1185, she is reassigned to the Black Eagle Strike Force at Garreg Mach.

Ending Quote
"After the war, Annette and Mercedes lived separate lives: the former as a teacher at the school of sorcery in Fhirdiad, the latter as the proprietor of an orphanage in a village in the ex-Faerghus region. Though they lived apart, they exchanged letters so frequently and shared their lives with one another in such detail that it was as though they were side by side. After many years, Annette decided to resign from her post and move in with Mercedes to help run the orphanage. The life they lived there was modest, but it is said that they were happy to the very end."
