Fiction:Marie Carnac

Marie Carnac (born 2770) is a French diplomat with no current assignment.

History
Marie was born on in 2770 to parents who worked heavily within the French government, her mother in the ministry of defense, her father in the office of foreign affairs. It was through her father that she gained her appreciation and curiosity for foreign culture, as he would often take her to events and functions held by the foreign office. At age 14, she was accepted into the New Paris Political Science Academy, known for providing future members of the French Diplomatic Corps as well as capable administrators and politicians. As soon as she was able, she specialized in Foreign Affairs with the intention of becoming an ambassador.
 * Early Life

She graduated in 2788 and attempted to get into the French Diplomatic Corps, but was turned down given the volume of applications they had received that year. Her father, who worked at the office of Ambassador at the time, managed to land her a job as his secretary. Delonier was serving as ambassador to the at the time, based out of their capital of Hilsa. After working there for a year, she made it into the French Diplomatic Corps and was personally requested by Delonier to act as his assistant until she had learned enough to manage an embassy on her own. With the breakout of the Dominatus War, the pair were frequently reassigned from 2792 to 2794 to fight diplomatic complications and crises caused by the conflict. When Delonier was named Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2794, he petitioned to have her raised to the status of diplomat within the French Diplomatic Corps. His wish was granted, and she spent a little time as a negotiator in the Milky Way for the remainder of 2794 into 2795 until she was shipped to the newly-formed French Cyrannian Colonies to aid in the creation of its diplomatic corps.
 * Diplomat of France

Later that year, French Cyrannia made official first contact with the Aekite Union, and Marie was dispatched to act as ambassador their capital of Zaphos. Soon after her arrival, a crisis arose involving a group of French colonists who had settled too close to the Aekite border. That colony refused to acknowledge the communications of either French Cyrannia or the Aekite Union, leading the latter to send an expedition, composed of Marie and a few Aekite officials, down to the planet to investigate. They found the colonials dug in, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the Aekite's claim to the planet. They took the small expedition hostage, deploying a force field to keep the Aekite forces in orbit from beaming them out. A standoff ensued, lasting for a week until a compromise was finally reached. While she returned safe, Marie found that the Aekite's trust in the French as a people had been eroded, and she spent her remaining years on Zaphos attempting to rebuild that trust.
