◛⑅·˚♡ Manon | Dead Plate

Manon is a fair—skinned adult girl with long, lush light brown hair and straight bangs secured with a black rim. She has brown eyes, delicate and neat facial features. She wears a thin black scarf with white polka dots, a gray-brown blouse with lantern sleeves and a long collar, a white vest, and a pale brown skirt with shade-green and light brown checks. She wears black stockings that end just below the knee, and neat black shoes with a buckle and a small heel. She looks cute and charming, always with a straight posture. Her appearance is always feminine and neat, and her clothes perfectly emphasize her petite figure and delicate nature, making her look a little airy. In her Pocket, Manon carries a golden oval medallion that Rody gave her, in which photographs of Rody and Manon are inserted. Perhaps Manon is wearing light makeup. Manon usually smells sweet and pleasant, with a hint of cinnamon, sun, and baking.

Marieanne Vacher is her full name, but she is usually called Manon. She was born on July 11 in France, around 1938-1943. She is about 28-30 years old.

Manon was born into a well-off family. Her parents are quite popular culinary critics, which gave Manon a good knowledge of cooking and education. Since Manon was born into a family that frequents the public, she has good manners and a fairly typical mindset for a DECENT woman: to look beautiful and elegant, to be fond of fashion and to have a nice boyfriend. But considering that her parents are critics, Manon has a wayward personality. She's thinking about becoming a culinary critic, just like her parents.

Manon is a kind, caring and cheerful girl. She likes baking and pastry. She also likes to bake for others, for example, for her boyfriend Rody. Although her baking always turns out to be bitter... Manon is also interested in fashion. Previously, she often picked up new clothes for Rody and made images for him that he still wears. She likes to go shopping.

Manon may seem like a typical cute little girl, but in fact she has a confident personality. She is stubborn, passionate, and competitive. Manon is smart enough to feel how to get someone else's sympathy. He knows how to flatter for his own benefit. Sometimes she can be too persistent and stubborn, showing a small part of her volatility. If Manon wants something, she tries to achieve it. She also smokes, which makes her a bit rebellious compared to her looks.

However, despite her desire to gain her own benefits, Manon is very caring and always attentive to her partner or friends. She doesn't like it when someone overexerts themselves or doesn't prioritize themselves. That was the case with her ex-boyfriend, Rody, who put Manon's happiness above his life. Rody's attitude towards himself made Manon feel guilty and ungrateful. She loved Rody very much, genuinely cared about him and enjoyed his company, even though he was an ordinary guy with a not very successful career.

Manon is also well-educated in art. She plays the flute and, I think, the piano. Manon likes live music. She's also curious and dreamy.

Manon is heterosexual. Perhaps she chose Vincent as a consolation because he was more suitable for her status than Rody. Because Vincent is popular and successful, as well as attentive, serious and elegant in public, unlike the clumsy "loser" Rody. For the same reason, Manon volatility may occur. Considering that Manon still keeps the medallion that Rody gave her, she continues to love him.

Rody Lamoree is a man of 28-30 years old. Born on February 14 in France, 1938-1943.

He has green eyes and thick, disheveled brown hair that reaches to the back of his head, and one stray lock on his forehead. His height is 175 cm. Rody has an average build, but shows a well-built and toned figure, complemented by a noticeable tan. He's strong enough and strong enough that he can easily win in a handshake.(and accidentally break your arm if you overdo it.) Rody is much stronger than he looks, despite the fact that he eats mostly fast food and even prefers it to gourmet dishes. He has two diagonal moles on his right cheek. There are many moles on his body. Rody smells nice, like the sun and a little dust.

He is usually dressed in light, comfortable clothes. His usual outfit consists of a T-shirt with an unbuttoned plaid shirt over the top instead of a coat, comfortable trousers with a wide leg and brown shoes. He always looks disheveled, like he's in a hurry all the time. Even in his work clothes, his top buttons will be unbuttoned, his tie will be untied, and his hairstyle will be messy.

Presumably, Rody was born into a middle-class family that was experiencing financial difficulties, which is why he dropped out of college, despite the fact that he was a gifted child and achieved significant academic success. He seems to have a caring and loving family, considering how kind, caring, and respectful Rody is to others. The guitar he has originally belonged to his father, who proposed to his mother with it, and was later given to him in the hope of making the same romantic gesture. Presumably, he attended the same college as Vince and his friends. It seems that Rody was quite a popular guy, considering that he often becomes a victim of breakups in relationships. He has changed 28 jobs in 7 years.

Rody is a very kind person, genuinely caring and very devoted to others. He tries to be polite to everyone, to please, and all the time chooses words for new people. It seems that a lot of failures at work have slightly damaged his self-esteem, because during college he was quite cocky and confident. But Rody can still stand up for himself, be sarcastic, and come up with a cheeky response, even though he'll feel guilty later. Rody is described as a "slob," as can be seen from his cluttered apartment and comical inability to behave like an adult. Rody gives himself too much to people and forgets about himself. Thus, he has a terrible mess in the apartment, which he cleans only upon Manon's arrival. He is a hopeless romantic, trying to make his partner feel good in any way: dating, gifts, guitar songs. Since he had a lot of breakups before, he is very afraid of losing Manon and is trying in every possible way to get her back. He also does not understand why Manon left him, and believes that it is most likely because of his untidy life and small financial means.

Vincent Charbonneau is a man 27-29 years old. Born in France on October 16, 1940-1945.

Vincent's style can be summed up in a few words: practical and impeccable. His clothes may seem extremely simple, without extra layers of clothing or accessories. His appearance is always neat and too perfect. He has black hair with a neat short haircut parted on the right side. His black eyes seem impassive and create an overall impression of fatigue, as well as dark circles under them. He has very pale, almost ghostly white skin, and is about 180 cm tall. He seems thin, even too thin compared to Rody. Vincent smells like cigarettes and lemons, because he often smokes and likes to eat lemons.

Vincent's work clothes consist of a white chef's coat with elbow-length sleeves, a gray apron tied at the waist, black trousers and classic shoes. His casual outfit is simple: a black turtleneck and gray trousers.

Vincent seems to have been born into a wealthy but cold family. Vincent could be a bit of a strange, introverted child (considering that as a child he easily ate earthworms and beetles) and was often left to his own devices without much care. It's hard enough for him to take care, he has high standards, a strong sense of perfection, and he's also unstable, which may indicate his cold, fixated, and even abusive parents, who are not used to making mistakes.

Although Vincent studied at a prestigious university, where he studied culinary arts, he had to work in several service industries at the same time, which may also prove his cold relationship with his parents. Although, today, there is a photo frame with his parents in his office.

At some point in time, Vincent lost his sense of taste. Nevertheless, he went on and studied at a prestigious university, taking a course in culinary arts. He then became successful enough to open his well-established restaurant in his twenties, a particularly impressive feat, which then led to him being featured in a magazine.

Vincent is too calm and cold a person, which also makes him a bit intimidating in private. He speaks only to the point, in short, clear phrases that are designed to intimidate others, especially his subordinates. Despite his apparent restraint, Vincent is extremely unstable and shows cruelty and coldness when he loses control. He looks indifferent, not really caring about others, for example, he easily smokes in the kitchen, although there are about nine chefs around him. The most terrible threats and curses can come from his lips, but at the same time his tone will be icy and sharp, and his face is too calm for such a situation. Vincent's methods of maintaining his kitchen are rude and unethical, and he does not hesitate to physically threaten the chefs. Vincent overreacts to any mistakes, which indicates his high ideals and standards. Vincent also doesn't like to be disturbed for no good reason or even bothered.

Vincent appears in public as a polite, charismatic and successful chef who hides the dark sides of his personality. Despite his outward irritability, Vincent shows respect for those who are interesting to him, as well as caring. It is difficult for Vincent to express his feelings in words, although he is clearly ready to take care in contact with a person. His love language is also cooking, which is not so strange with his career.

Vincent is also gay, although he used to try to date two girls in order to feel something. He doesn't feel comfortable being abandoned, so he'd rather live his life all alone. Although Vincent shows interest in Rody when Manon mentions him.

Vincent is, one might say, obsessed with his culinary career. He is extremely concerned about making sure that the dishes look perfect. The daily differing menus in Vincent's bistro may indicate that he is trying to find a dish and ingredient that will allow him to taste again. He also doesn't understand the phrase "there's no love in your food," which annoys him.

Rody: It is known that Manon was in a relationship with Rody for an indefinite period of time. She broke up with Rody, expressing her displeasure that Rody was sacrificing his personal progress for her happiness. She is genuinely worried about Rody's selfless devotion and wants him to put his own well-being first. Manon's decision to end the relationship is a way to push Rody to focus on himself first, as she believed that he was not ready for a relationship in his current position. Manon still loves Rody. She doesn't see him as a failure, and she genuinely cares about him. However, she also wants Rody to start paying attention to himself instead of just following her. Manon will protect Rody from any insults or attacks.

Vincent: Vincent shows no interest in Manon. He immediately tries to pull away from her and ignores her attempts at flirting. He also considers Manon to be mercantile. Most of the time, he is cold to her and ignores her, but it seems that this only spurs Manon to pursue Vincent and make even more attempts to get closer. Considering that Vincent will have a photo together with Manon in the future, which he will throw away, Vincent tries to behave politely, but does not show hope for a relationship. Vincent is approached by Manon, who showed passing interest in him. However, Vincent sensed that she was using him as a rebound from a breakup.Manon, in turn, does not take Vincent's shortcomings and his obviously unhealthy behavior seriously, or does not want to admit his shortcomings.

The events take place in France in 1968-1969, in an unnamed cozy little town after the breakup of Manon's relationship with Rody. La Gueule de Saturne, french for "The Mouth of Saturn", is a formal restaurant owned by Vincent Charbonneau and the main setting for the events.

La Gueule de Saturne is a single-floor restaurant built in 1960s France. It has a minimalistic, grey design for its facade, with only the simple red awning with the bistro's name on it breaking the monotony. It's lined up with five square windows and a walk-in corner on the right, with the bistro's schedule written on the poster inside it. To its right is a simple metal gate, presumably leading to the dumpsters beside the bistro. To its left are stairs leading to a flat above it, which leads to the living quarters of the bistro's owner.

Dining Area: The main room is, of course, the dining area. This is where patrons get seated and served with full-course meals, as well as where they pay for what they ate through the counter.

Everything is clad in shades of beige, gray, and white, with tasteful splashes of velvet red to break up the monotony. There are four two-seater tables on the leftmost corner and the center of the room, with two private four-seater booths facing the windows, granting a view of the street for its patrons, as well as two single-seater tables that are close to the partition window of the kitchen which is partially obscured by velvet red curtains. A plain grey carpet covers the area of the two-seater tables, as well as a separate one for the booths, a smaller one for the counter area, laden with a vintage cash register, and a small service bell for patrons to ring for assistance. Lastly, a velvet red carpet extends from the walk-in area to the right corner of the counter area.

The restaurant has a new menu every day, which is never repeated. This restaurant is ideal for those who do not know how to choose, because the choice has already been made for them... Remarkably, Vincent, as a chef, cooks nothing except developing menus for each week and day. All dishes are prepared by 9 chefs. There is only one waiter in the restaurant, which is quite strange for such a large and popular bistro.
