History

Vin Rougue was born in Ville des Païens, a small and remote town, where her childhood was marked by deep tragedies. Her mother passed away in a fire that devastated their home when she was only 2 years old. After this loss, her father, Mathis Rougue, took on the responsibility of raising her alone. With love and determination, he dedicated himself both to Vin's education and her emotional well-being. A cobbler by trade, Mathis worked tirelessly until late into the night to support them both. Despite this, he never missed a significant moment in his daughter's life, recording her school performances and birthday parties on tapes that he kept in his room.

Vin always stood out as an exemplary student, with impeccable grades and performance that set her apart from her peers. She was described by teachers and classmates as a cheerful and sweet girl, with immense dedication to her studies, despite her somewhat shy and reserved nature. Vin never settled for just the bare minimum; she was constantly seeking to learn more and improve her skills.

In her childhood, Vin formed a friendship that would mark her youth with a sweet and outgoing girl named Pomme d'Or. The two spent hours together studying, playing, and sharing dreams, even though their goals were heading in different directions. Pomme aspired to be a doctor, dedicating her life to saving others, while Vin dreamed of becoming a lawyer, driven by the determination to defend those who could not protect themselves. For the young redhead, law represented not only a way to help others but also an opportunity to achieve wealth and recognition. After all, her greatest dream was to provide a better life for herself and her father, imagining them both living in a mansion where the cold of the snow would never seep through the cracks in the roof.

By the time she reached adolescence, Vin had already earned three gold certificates, a prestigious honor awarded only to students who maintained an average above 9.5 in all subjects throughout the year. These certificates held enormous academic value, crucial for solidifying her position as a strong candidate for the best universities in the capital, ensuring a promising future.

However, her life drastically changed when she entered high school. Her father Mathis, whose health had already been weakened by his work, suffered a severe accident. While using spray adhesive, he applied the product incorrectly and inhaled the substance, causing severe damage to his health, particularly his central nervous system. When she arrived at the hospital, Vin was informed that her father had entered a vegetative state due to the brain damage caused by the accident.

During the time her father was hospitalized, Vin used the family savings to cover the financial expenses, but soon realized that this wouldn't be enough. Desperate to earn some extra money, she started doing schoolwork for her classmates. Fortunately, two weeks after the accident, her father's condition showed slight improvement, but the brain damage still kept him in a coma, forcing Vin to continue working on her own.

Over time, she began to set her studies aside, dedicating herself more and more to working to support the household and ensure her father received the necessary care at the hospital. Unfortunately, the nurses responsible for Mathis often neglected him, leaving him in deplorable conditions. Many times, Vin had to confront the professionals, yelling and arguing with them, outraged to see her father dirty and abandoned while they conversed distractedly. As a result, she began to spend more and more time at the hospital, caring for her father herself.

At 18, Vin still dreamed of entering law school. Soon, she took the entrance exam, hoping to fulfill her desire. However, when the results came out, her world collapsed, as she had not achieved the necessary score. Heartbroken, Vin locked herself in her house for days, crying silently to hide her sadness, disappointment, and frustration. Finally, a few weeks later, she received the news that her father had passed away at the hospital.

Shocked and lost, Vin used the exam results to enroll in a journalism course. It was during her studies that she awakened her Behavior Lumière des Médias, a power that allowed her to easily access confidential information, something that would later distinguish her in her career. During this time, Vin remained focused on her studies, keeping herself isolated and distant from others. Despite her limited social life, her grades consistently remained above average, and upon graduating, she earned a position at Today’s and Tomorrow’s News (TTN), one of the leading media outlets, headquartered in Montclair.

At TTN, Vin quickly stood out for the exceptional quality of her reports. Thanks to her Behavior, Lumière des Médias, she had access to information that would be inaccessible to other journalists, ensuring that her stories were unique, revealing, and impactful. This ability, combined with her talent and intelligence, made her a well-known reporter in the region.

One day, Vin was assigned by TTN to interview the mayor of Montclair, who was vacationing at an inn in the mountains. As usual, she was preparing for the job when, by chance, she ran into Pomme d'Or, her old schoolmate. The former friend, in an enthusiastic mood, greeted Vin with a warm hug. After that, Pomme shared that she was working at a hospital in the capital. With a proud smile, she mentioned that she had married a neurosurgeon and revealed that they had bought a house by the seaside. However, even more joyfully, she shared that they were planning to start a family soon, full of excitement for the future.

Their conversation was brief and superficial, and they soon said goodbye. However, when Vin returned to her room, she was overwhelmed by a wave of envy and hatred. Pomme's life seemed perfect, full of achievements and happiness, while Vin's had been destroyed by a series of pure injustices and misfortunes. Unable to contain her emotions, Vin succumbed to anger, exploding in a fit of rage, breaking objects, tearing her papers, and bitterly asking herself why things had turned out that way.

Consumed by these feelings, Vin turned on the TV and, using her Behavior, tuned into Pomme's room. For more than an hour, she watched the couple talking and eventually practicing some bondage before they fell asleep. With her mind still filled with hate and bitterness, Vin grabbed a knife, put it in her bag, and without hesitation, headed to her former friend's room.

Upon arriving, she typed the password to enter and stood silently at the foot of the bed where Pomme and her husband were sound asleep. For 20 long minutes, Vin remained still, holding the knife tightly, as memories and thoughts consumed her mind. Time passed, and Vin left the room.

The next day, Pomme and her husband bid farewell to Vin, completely unaware of what had happened the night before. The reporter, in turn, proceeded with her interview with the mayor before returning home. Months later, the couple became the target of a scandal after their financial information and documents were leaked, resulting in various banking issues and debts in their names. Additionally, an intimate video of them was released within the hospital where they worked, tarnishing their reputations and leading to their removal from their positions.

Vin decided to resign from TTN and focus on a new opportunity, paying attention to a newly-formed company called Boundart Luxury. After a direct interview with the president, Sophia Luxivelle, the reporter stood out for her skills and knowledge, securing her position easily. Vin now had a clear objective, and the fame and wealth she had longed for would come with time.
