Editing Fleur (section)

==History==
===Background===
Fleur was a member of the [[Brockton Bay Brigade]]. [[Lady Photon]] considered her too young to have kids, and in the wrong place in her life. The [[Brockton Bay Brigade]] would challenge [[Marquis]] numerous times, though [[Marquis]] would always win.

Fleur accompanied the [[Brockton Bay Brigade]] when they went after [[Marquis]] in his home and closed in on him. After [[Lightstar]] was wounded, she caught him before he could fall onto [[Marquis]]' bone spikes before she tended to his injuries.<ref name="15.x">[[Interlude 15.x]]</ref>

Fleur later revealed her civilian identity alongside her teammates.

Was there when the Brigade finally captured [[Marquis]].<ref>[[Agitation 3.12]]</ref>

===[[Boston Games]]===
Fleur participated in the [[Boston Games]], engaging and nearly overwhelming [[Damsel of Distress]] before the villainess escaped.<ref> [[Eclipse x.5]]</ref>

===Later===
While in her civilian identity, Fleur was killed by a kid looking to bolster his reputation and earn membership into [[Empire Eighty-Eight]].<ref name="WoG3">A short time later, the Brockton Bay Brigade unmasked before the public, advocating capes without masks.<br/>
A short time after that, Fleur was murdered in her civilian identity, putting an end to that movement. Lightstar (brother to Carol/Brandish and Sarah/Lady Photon) quit the team. - [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?682837-Worm-Bet-the-Alternate-Thread-The-Star-Wars-Prequel-Trilogy-Still-Sucks-Though&p=16772221#post16772221 Wildbow on RPG.net]</ref><ref>We haven’t caught up with them yet, despite me spending a few hours last night on the hunt, but the consensus seems to be that it’s stupid, petty people seeing us putting our faces out there and wanting to ride the wave of attention.  I had a kind-of aunt who died for pretty similar feeling reasons, and remembering that’s really bothering me. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/08/21 Excerpt] from [[Gleaming 9.1]]</ref><ref name="II8.9 e2">I could barely remember Auntie Jess.  The memory was occluded by the very clear distinction of a sniveling kid in a courtyard- someone who’d been looking to earn his stripes as a member of our local racist troupe.  He’d cried, begged, and asked for his dad to save him when the pronouncement had come from the court.  I could remember seeing him and being disgustedly disappointed in him.  That someone as awesome as my aunt had been killed by someone as far from awesome as him.<br><br>No- no.  That hadn’t been my opinion.  It had been something my mom had said that had struck so close to home that it felt like my own idea. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/31 Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.9]]</ref> Her death occurred at the peak of [[New Wave]]'s rising popularity, at a point when the team and the idea of capes with public identities and full accountability was a topic of nationwide discussion, and thus received a great deal of media and public attention.<ref name="II8.9 e6">The media hounded us, after Fleur died.  We had a lot of discussions on how New Wave should handle it.  We were disheartened, heartbroken, tired.  We decided to let the news cycle roll over while we mourned.  It made sense. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/31/beacon-8-9/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.9]]</ref><ref>“Our aunt Fleur- she wasn’t officially our aunt, there was never a wedding, but I really liked her.  She was kind of an outsider like me.  Her body wasn’t even cold when people were putting microphones in front of us.  We were ''kids''.  Not even in middle school.  That fucks you up.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/09/24 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 16.y II]]</ref><ref name="WoG1"/>

After her death, [[New Wave]] lost much of its initial momentum, with her boyfriend [[Lightstar]] taking a new identity and leaving [[New Wave]].<ref name="WoG2">[http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/New_Wave?oldid=4170 Edit by Wildbow]<br/>Later [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37804044/ updated by Wildbow].</ref> [[Victoria Dallon]] thought Fleur's murderer wouldn't earn membership into [[Empire Eighty-Eight]] because of his cowardly behavior in court.<ref name="II8.9 e3">My ''opinion'' had been a quiet certainty that his craven behavior in court would at least ensure that he didn’t get what he wanted.  He wouldn’t get his initiation into the gang if he acted like ''that''. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/31/beacon-8-9/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.9]]</ref> However, she admits that she was wrong as he was not tried as an adult, got out in short order, and was welcomed with open arms by [[Empire Eighty-Eight]].<ref name="II8.9 e4">And I’d been wrong.  He was young, he hadn’t been tried as an adult, and he’d gotten out in short order.  He’d gone straight to Empire Eighty-Eight and been welcomed with open arms. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/31/beacon-8-9/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.9]]</ref>
