Regine LeBlanc

- In-game description.

Regine LeBlanc is a playable character in Metropolis: 3020.

Development
Regine LeBlanc was originally intended to be the NPC who ran the game's Card Shop, but was turned into a playable character. This was because she was a fun and colourful character to write dialogue for. She is a homage to Cajun culture, using French phrases at times. Her purple Chinese dress with two dragons is a reference to the protagonist of the Steampunk book series Hearts of Magic, Rashena.

Personality
Regine LeBlanc is a deeply spiritual and sensual character who strongly believes in Magic as a force of good in Metropolis: 3020. Her main investment in running a business is to have fun, meet new people, and generate business for her family's Card Shop. She has a habit of calling her opponents "ma petite" regardless of their gender.

Story (Spoiler Alert)
Regine LeBlanc leaves the running of her family's Card Shop to entrusted family members while she tries to start a new business in the city. Her rival is Doctor Okulov, who she holds an unspoken attraction for. When she wins, she sets out to try and convince the Doctor to go on a date with her, results unknown.

Trivia

 * Regine has two cousins, Cousin Crystalle and Cousin Quartza. They are the family members who look after the Card Shop while she is the chosen character.
 * Calling people "ma petite" is a reference to an early 00's vampire novel series where the main character's lover calls her "ma petite".
 * Because the game engine does not consider the opponent's gender (only the speaker's) when producing dialogue, Regine LeBlanc will call male characters "Ma petite".
