Cosette no Orchis is a common girl. She was one of a passel of children born to a dairy farmer in Azzalle. Cosette was always a cheerful child, quick with a laugh or a song or a way to amuse the others around her, and seemed to have a knack for keeping sibling fighting at a minimum. Unfortunately, a hard working child she was not. Cosette hated the hard work associated with her family's profession, and was forever sneaking away to go and read a book, take a nap, or just explore.

Her life changed forever when at the age of seven, she went with her family to a local fair, intent on selling their cheeses. She somehow managed to situate herself in with a visiting noble's children, a particularly spoiled trio of siblings who were driving their nanny quite to distraction. Within hours of meeting, she had them in stitches, and their general tendencies to pummel each other were quite routed. When their mother observed this, she approached Cosette's parents and proposed bringing her to Elua for presentation to the Houses - the noblewoman, a former Orchis courtesan herself, recognized something delightful in Cosette. For a chance to get off the farm and its filthy chores, Cosette went willingly.

Of course, becoming a Servant of Naamah is its own hard work - but it never seemed like it to Cosette. True, she had to learn discipline, and to not shirk when she did actually have chores, and become well educated - and aside from her considerable lack of being a morning person (Cosette is very fond of naps, perhaps because she can be so high energy when she's awake), she pushed through the parts that were less than pleasant and excelled in the art of bringing joy and laughter. She debuted at sixteen, her virginity earning her a respectful but not scandalous fee, and maintained herself as a popular Servant for her House she was at the age of nineteen, able to show her fully inked marque to her Dowayne.

Not long after her marque was acknowledged, she came to the attention of the heirs to the throne - Liana and Lysander. A potential tense situation between Lysander and another nobleman was relieved due to Cosette's swift and humorous intervention. Intrigued, the siblings contracted her for the evening, and soon became their favorite courtesan in Orchis...and then their favorite courtesan. A year later, and she was offered a contract she could not and would not refuse; a long term association with the pair, with a clause that permitted her to take additional contracts as suited her so long as the pair kept her primary attention.

Needless to say, her bags were swiftly moved to the palace.
