Bebe

Andre Laurent Jean Geraux, or more commonly known as “Bebe” to his clanmates, is the clan’s tailor with a specific taste in airy, oriental types of clothing. He first hailed from the Southern Icelands but came to the Scarred Wasteland to visit. It has been a place of interested for a long time, despite knowing the dangers of going to the Plague flight. Many have tried to convince him to stay home but he would not take ‘no’ for an answer. He was a grown adult and it was time for him to move onto new lands and see new people. It took some time but he was able to leave his clan and move to his new home.

Bebe was fascinated by the new landscape that was around him. Who wouldn’t, for all he had ever known was the endless white snow that covered everything. Now, there were mounds of mysterious objects, strange and curious things around every corner, a few dangerous beasts every so often, and brand new faces to see everywhere! Of course it took some time to get settled in but he got over it after a few days of sickness. Instantly, his bright and cheerful personality caught the attention of many peers and they helped him acclimatize to the clan. It also helped out that he was a tailor back at home and this instantly propelled him into a higher position to prepare clothing to protect other dragons from the dangers of the Wastelands.

Though he was very skilled a creating clothing from what appeared as scraps of fabric, there was something missing in his life. These pieces of clothing were not speaking to him, not giving him quite the satisfaction he wanted. That all changed when he saw a peculiar helmet on a mirror one day.

It was more accurate to call it a mask than a helmet. It was made of metal and covered the whole face of the dragon. The way it was made enhanced the contours of the dragons face to make them more fearsome and brave. Long fur flowed out the back of it to create a beautiful mane and a large crescent moon motif was pinned to the front of the helmet. On first sight he knew where his true calling was.

After some asking and research, Bebe learned that this style was a ‘samurai’ helmet from before the Age of Dragons. More old scrolls and books revealed an entire culture with clothing styles like nothing in the current time. Entranced by such a thing, he vowed to bring it back to life and set to work immediately. Orders of silk were shipped in and from them Bebe would create long flowing dresses that made a dragon appear to glide across the floor, shimmering in the light of the day. Instantly, orders of these kinds of clothing came in from all around and he gladly set to work creating more of them. He even delved into the style of armor from before and recreated the helmet that inspired this all.

Finally, he had found his joy in life and was happy to share this with the rest of his clan and anyone else who had an interested in fashion.

Bebe, as much as he is cheery, is a touch lonely in his new home. He does miss the Southern Icefields from time to time but does not regret his decision to move to the Wastelands. Still, wouldn’t it be nice to have a companion that also would be interested in clothing as much as he? Perhaps time will tell.
