Sidonie Rougon

Commission agent, go-between

A shadowy, androgynous figure who acts as a fixer and go-between across Paris society. She facilitates dubious arrangements for her brothers' ambitions, disappears from the narrative as quietly as she enters it, and eventually ends up running a convent school in a distant city.
Thin, colourless, dressed in black, with the discreet manner of someone who moves through society unseen.
