im Lichtkleid kam sie auf mich zu
ich weiß es noch wie heut
ich war so jung, hab mich geniert
doch hab es nie bereut

Yvette was born to an extremely wealthy French family and began her dance education very early on, her mother obsessed with the idea of Yvette joining the Paris Opera Ballet. After many years of intense training and many generous donations to the ballet by her parents, she became a part of first the quadrille, rising through the ranks of coryphée and sujet to premiere danseuse quickly, something which made her unpopular in the extremely competitive world hidden away behind the tutus. Yvette hated the environment in the ballet and, around the same time that people began whispering of a promotion to étoile, she quit her job, to her mother's complete dismay. Taking a few years off, teaching dance classes and choreographing in private, Yvette met the up-and-coming fashion designer, Germain Favre and she became his muse first, then his wife when he proposed to her half a year later, although there was no great passion between them and she continuously refused to sleep with him, a demand he accepted without complaint. The arrangement pleased her parents, however, which was the important part to Yvette. Soon thereafter, she finally took the leap and struck out on her own, forming her own dance company, the Terpsichorean Troupe, where she invited select dancers from her network to join. One of those dancers was Cäcilia Böhmer from Germany, a woman who had become Yvette's primary muse when she choreographed and whom she initiated an affair with after Cäcilia moved to Paris to work with the rest of the Troupe.
