“Billie” Bonheur
a luxury fashion designer & philanthropist
during the Force Eternal Timeline
Essential information
Wilhelmina Bonheur, publicly known as Billie Bonheur, is a Sephi woman of 6'7" and 172 lbs. She is the founder and face of the House of Bonheur, a luxury fashion brand based on Coruscant, and is known for her impeccable skills. She is force sensitive.
Biography
Billie began her brand on Coruscant around 130 ABY, and within a few years, the fashion house became a well-known name within Corsucanti fashion circles. It wasn't much longer than a few years before the name was known to the elite throughout the galaxy. Her brand, Bonheur, catered to the wealthy, nobility, famous figures, and other noteworthy clientele. Despite the fame of the fashion house, little is known about Billie herself, leaving the public to wonder who the quiet woman was behind pleasant smiles.
The woman actually had a fairly unremarkable childhood. Billie was adopted and raised by a wealthy family situated high on Coruscant's surface level, and she received a top-of-the-shelf education. Eventually, Billie's parents were able to conceive a child of their own, and she was more or less put on the back burner in favor of the newborn. Though it was an unfortunate thing to do, Billie wasn't particularly upset about this and responded by moving out and getting on with her life. Her talents landed her an internship with one of Coruscant's already existing fashion houses, and after so many years, she left it to create her own.
Nowadays, Billie's brand caters to the upper class, and she operates in exclusive circles. Not everyone can wear Bonheur; it is a privilege afforded only to the influential and wealthy.
Personality
Billie has a calm disposition, often quiet and often the wallflower of the room. She has the look of a woman lost in her own world; her face never betrays her true emotions. If not for the parties and events she was expected to attend, Billie would probably spend all her time in her studio alone. Despite this apparent shyness, once Billie is brought into the conversation she comes to life. She has a hushed voice, but she is fairly easy to conversate with if her interest is peaked. She loves talking about her work, so her clients get a very different Billie. She is very passionate about her work and she loves transforming her customer's requests into fashionable, one-of-a-kind garments for them to wear. But, in true Sephi fashion, Billie is not very expressive, which can make her seem both standoffish and hard to read.
Billie is also incredibly secretive. She does not like to reveal anything about herself or her past that is not necessary to know. This air of mystery is both important to her for keeping her privacy, as well as continuing the mystery of her brand.
Skills
Billie's primary and most notable skill is her sewing ability. Unknown to anyone other than herself and one other, Billie sews via the Force, using the tiniest movements to push the needle in and out. This is the extent of her ability with the Force, but not of them in general. She is an artist and a good one at that. The woman has an eye for color, pattern, and shape that did more to put her ahead than her unique way of sewing ever did.
