Joseph, Count of Vermandois

Joseph (b. 15 December) is the fourth-eldest child of King Louis XV of France and Marie Adeline of France. He is the current holder of the County of Vermandois, bestowed in appanage upon him by his eldest brother, Léopold of France.

Childhood
During his childhood, Joseph lived most of his life in the Palace of Versailles much like his siblings. Joseph was not much for conversation and spent most of his time reading books, mainly on warfare and philosophy.

One time, a English diplomat came in France in order to negotiate with France over increasing tensions in the New World. During this, the english diplomat walked on the young Joseph's feet. The diplomat did not apologize. This, along with the knowledge Joseph had of the English, would cultivate Joseph's hatred towards the British.

Personality
Joseph can be described as a man of little words, speaking only when he feels as if it is important or relevant - always in short sentences. As he was born in a noble family, Joseph has little restraint to his words, speaking whatever is on his mind without concern for others.

Joseph is also incredibly patriotic of France and it's people, valuing the life of the french to a higher regard then any other. He is incredibly xenophobic, believing every single culture that is not french is inferior, especially the british.

Appearance
Joseph is a rather large man, with a pale face and blue eyes. He has white hair and is usually seen wearing a suit or anything fashionable of the sort.

Life at court
Having lived his entire life in the Palace of Versailles, Joseph is used to court life. Most of the time, he spends insulting the british, enjoying banter and managing his county.
