 ===History===
-She was a former Long of [[The Demiurge]], who ascended in tbe Late Middle Ages (14th to 15th centuries AD). By the 16th century, she saw through his falsehoods and fake inspiration, and set out to search for her real muse. That is how she entered the service of [[The Hearthkeeper]], under whom she eventuality ascended to become their Name when she helped them modify the Webbed Door to serve as a spinning wheel. In the early 18th century, [[The Zabbaleen]] wanted to use the Webbed Door to craft a new Name for themselves, and the Hearthkeeper proposed that the Modiste did that for them. She spun the Door, felt the threads of Glory on her fingers, then tugged at them, weaved them, and pulled the Spindle out of the light; her true inspiration! One could not exist without the other; thus, they were known as [[The Modiste-with-Spindle]], a new Hour loyal to both the Hearthkeeper and the Zabbaleen (who have received their weaved Name, the Lady of Lace, as promised).

 The Collision, however, brought great destruction. The Spindle, always tied to her origin, the Glory, would have pulled the Modiste with her to their shared doom, so the Demarq-s severed them apart. The Modiste was saved, and watched the Spindle become Halted, while their Name, the Velveteen Valet, sacrificed much of his power to fuel the Modiste's own fading life. She could not live without a pair, though, especially not as an Hour. Thus, she found the Mannequin, from the King's House, which lost its pair in the Collision, too. From that day on, they are known as Modiste-and-Mannequin.

+The delicate, gentle Shade, once known as the Chiffon Châtelaine, used to be the mistress of the Château, before she was overthrown and badly damaged by the Velvet Vidame. Thus, she is no longer the member of the Couture, but she has no ambitions to reclaim her position. The Collision greatly affected her, damaging the Shade even further, but the Modiste manage to save her by weaving some ascended Dead into her. Occasionally, the Shade descends into furious madness, especially if she is reminded of who she used to be and what was taken from her, and turns into a shrieking banshee that attacks everything in sight.

+At her waist, she wears a châtelaine, a decorative belt clasp with a series of chains dangling and clanking from it; each chain is mounted with household appendages such as scissors, thimbles, watches, keys, smelling salts, and household seals. Those keys open desks, chests, drawers, pantries, storage containers, and many other locked cabinets within the Château and often within the Atelier as a whole. She was, thus, the one who would direct the servants and who would open or lock the access to the valuables of the house, possessing total authority over who had access to what. The latter purpose hasn't been entirely taken from her, though, as she still holds those keys.

-- Cameline - made of camel's hair, imported from Cyprus and Syria into Europe. Also a cloak of the Arabs made of camel's hair which is oftentimes striped white and brown in color. A warm light woolen textile of camel's hair combined with wool or cotton. It is considered of lesser quality than that of camlet. Coarse; in combination with other fabrics and made into a twill weave pattern or a basket weave which is finished with a soft nap. It has been used in woolen clothing articles similar to cashmere wool clothing, might have been the same as we call today cashmere. Best quality for rich and luxurious articles of clothing, the coarser type for the covering of tents, the upper garments of shepherds and camel drivers.

-- Camlet / camelot / camblet, is a woven fabric that might have originally been made of camel or goat's hair, later chiefly of goat's hair and silk, or of wool and cotton. Figured camlets are of one color, on which are stamped various figures, flowers, foliages, etc.; the figures were applied with hot irons, passed together with the fabric, under a press. Water camlets, after weaving, received a certain preparation with water; and were afterwards passed under a hot press, giving them a smoothness and lustre. Waved camlets feature impressed waves.
