Biography
Bonjour! I'm Emilien Latour, the youngest son of King Emilien and Queen Emilienne.

I'll tell you about my father. He fell in love with the portrait of Princess Emilienne, who was imprisoned in a tower. He confided in his servant Jean, and the two set off to find Emilienne. One night, Jean learned from Father Roquelaure of the difficulty in finding the princess, and if he didn't heed Father Roquelaure's words, he would turn to stone. Emilien and Jean recovered the princess, but she was frightened by Jean's actions and asked Emilien to imprison Jean. After the prince and princess married, Emilien demanded Jean explain his actions to him. Jean explained and was turned to stone. A year later the princess had a son, whom they named Jean after the servant. An old woman who appeared asked Emilien to kill his baby to restore Jean. He did kill the baby and the blood revived Jean. Then the woman revealed that she was a fairy, and revived the baby.

As you can see, life has been pretty rough for both of them. My dad still finds it horrifying that he took the life of his own baby (even though my brother came back to life) and feels like a murderer. He often cries because of it. My parents have had more children. I am the youngest of six children: four boys and two girls.

Jean (the servant) has gotten married too, and he has a daughter named Kildine. Me and Kildine are best friends. The two of us are inseparable - we spend lots of time together at the palace, and we frequently travel together. She really enjoys my painting skills.

I'm fond of painting, and I spend much of my time working on my latest masterpiece. I have an art room at my palace where I display my paintings. I'm also good with computers and technology, and I'm also fascinated with science. I even know all about the chemicals that paints are made of.

I'm in my first year at Ever After High, and I hate to admit it, but I'm a bit of a loner. Beind a nerd is rather hard, especially when you're a prince. I'm extremely self-conscious of the fact that I'm from an oral French fairy tale as opposed to a literary one like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, or Beauty and the Beast. I feel like the oral French fairy tales don't get nearly as much appreciation as the literary ones, and sometimes I feel like I'm not as good as the literary fairy tales. Still, my friends try to offer me support. Kildine's good at cheering me up.

My parents' story makes me kind of uncomfortable. I don't want to kill an innocent baby - I'm not cruel like that! I also don't want to see Kildine turned to stone. That's why I'm a Rebel.
