As such, much of his youth was comprised of studying under his father, Lourax de Dampierre, in estate management and proper etiquette of the court, war, and sports. However as Anatole grew into a young man he became smitten with Delphine Catrice, the daughter of a nobleman. The seemingly harmless crush soon blossomed into a beautiful love and with the blessing of Halone, Anatole proposed to Delphine. |

Although "to young to wed" as some had suggested, their love was true and their dedication to one another was strong. Their marriage was a prosperous partnership and Halone soon gifted them with their first child, who they named Alphonse for his noble beauty. Anatole continued to shadow his father, Louraux de Dampierre, in his daily business-- knowing that one day the management of the estate would rest on his shoulders. The estate flourished, as did Anatoles family-- his wife and child would want for nothing. | ||

The cold winds buffeted Ishgard and the young Elezan couple did their best to protect their family from the fallout of the Calamity. While young Amandine grew with vigour, her elder brother, Alphonse, suffered from an unexplainable illness. Clerics and the-like did what they could for the young boy but he continued to the suffer as the years passed. Finally, in year two of the 7th Umbral Era, Alphonse suffering ended and the boy passed silently in the night. |

+ | Anatole and Delphine lived off the flame of hope, it burned brightly in their soul each day as they prayed for their child's recovery. However, when they buried their infant son the hope that filled their beings was now nothing more than choking smoke, bubbling in their lungs and suffocating them. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | While Delphine, in her wisdom, blamed no one for her son's death-- Anatole was consumed and blinded by grief, blaming himself for his son's death. He became obsessed with Halone and his devotion to her worship-- Somehow believing that the Goddess could restore what they had lost. Her husband's withdrawal, and inability to grieve with her, affected Delphine greatly; she began to question her husband's love for their now deceased son, and this seed began to sicken her mind. Aware of her feelings of unrest, Delphine attempted to reach out to Anatole for comfort and support. These actions were only met with neglect, as Anatole denied any attention and affection to both his suffering wife, Delphine, and his infant daughter, Amandine. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | As the sorrow in Anatole's belly grew, so did the sickness in Delphines mind. Both were consumed and lost in the sea of grief. </font></div><br> | ||

+ | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"> It passed from the second to the fourth year in the 7th Umbral Era, and still Anatole could not pull himself from his self imposed state of servitude. He could not bring himself to care for his wife, nor his young daughter. Delphine suffered greatly during the years, not only had she lost her son, but she had also been denied her husband, and denied her time to grieve as she cared for young Amandine. Anatole, in her mind, had abandoned her. And so, the seed that had been allowed to take root in her mind began to blossom into a deadly poison. One that clouded her thoughts with paranoia and wicked waking dreams. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Anatole refused to accept his wife's deteriorating mental condition-- her "foolish acts" of wandering the home and speaking only in whispers began to turn his sorrow into rage. He grew to resent her, to blame her for the loss of love he felt towards her, and their daughter. Often he would return to their home only to berate and belittle her-- shouting all manner of abuse at his wife. Delphine became an object to Anatole, an inanimate being for him to unleash his fury upon-- something for him to control and command as he saw fit. In the midst of the nightly shouting, Delphine would rock, quietly, with Amandine in her arms and whisper soft songs of comfort. An act that drove Anatole into a deeper rage. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | One evening as Anatole returned home, earlier than expected, he found Delphine holding Amandine under water. Horrified, Anatole laid hands on Delphine and rescued his daughter-- to his relief the young girl was still alive. When he confronted Delphine she could do no more than cry, as if she too did not know why or how it had happened. Anatole, staring into the crying face of his wife, could not bring himself to believe that she had acted with purpose. That Delphine, the kind and wise woman he had once loved, would attempt to steal the one child he had left. No, he could not face what was right before his eyes. So with a bitter kindness, Anatole laid Amandine to bed and let the matter pass. </font></div><br> | ||
