Editing Crucible:Nightingale (section)

== Early Life ==

Solene Virelle was born in Marseille, the daughter of a French diplomat and an Algerian violinist. Raised among embassies, private schools, concert halls, and diplomatic receptions, she learned early that manners, dress, language, and silence could all be weapons. By adolescence she was fluent in multiple languages, trained in fencing, and already gifted in mimicry, observation, and deception.

Officially, Solene disappeared from public life at fifteen to attend a private school in Geneva. In truth, she had been recruited by Black Light, the same shadowy off-books espionage program that would later shape Shadow himself. Under the designation '''Agent -R3V''', she was trained in seduction, infiltration, surveillance, psychological manipulation, disguise, and moral compromise operations.
