Margot

Margot is a young princess of the French court, daughter to Catherine de Medici, growing up amid the schemes and cruelties of a household where marriage is politics and affection is currency. She is sharp-tongued and curious, chafing against the role laid out for her, watching her mother's maneuvers with a mixture of fear and fascination.

Philippine Velge plays her with a restless, watchful intelligence — a girl absorbing the lessons of power before she's old enough to wield them herself. The writing lets her be both victim and student of the court's ruthlessness, and Velge finds the flicker of defiance underneath the obedience, hinting at the formidable woman she might become.
