CANON

canon: Original
summary: Born as the only child of a minor noble, Jacques Delys, in Paris, the year of the Lord, 1611, with no real prospects of advancing at the French court, Henriette took the opportunity to learn magic from a young witch working in her household as a chambermaid, a girl she would also initiate a romantic relationship with, Fanny. However, after five years, Fanny was suspected of practicing witchcraft and burned alive along with a small group of other suspected witches out of which Fanny might or might not have been the only one knowing genuine magic. Henriette hid her newfound knowledge out in the magical arts, and when a Danish noble a year later, Henriette was 29 at the time, crossed her path, she put a love spell on him that made him marry her and take her with him to Denmark where she became Countess Berg-Knutholm, a family fourth or fifth in line to the throne, depending on whom you asked. Upholding the spell on her husband, Henriette has lived a richer, more influential life in Elsinore for more than ten years now, never tiring of weaving wiles or kindling the fire of intrigue, while at the same time wisely undermining all gossip that she's a witch. That is, until the King's younger sister, Dorithe, comes to her for a love potion to give to a girl she has fallen in love with, and Henriette looks at the young girl and sees both a part of herself in her, as well as someone who could become extremely dangerous to her plans. So, she invites the girl to learn witchcraft from her instead, so she can make her own love potion - and will thus be implicated in a manner that should keep her from tattling to anyone.
canon point: Can play her from any point around age 40, before or after getting approached by Dorithe. Defaulting to before.
