I mean, she's a fairly young female french assassin for hire, who's apparently killed the best, and who only wants to be paid in diamonds. DIAMONDS, YOU GUYS. How badass is that, I mean come on.
Anyway, my prompt is just like, any backstory anyone wants to give me for her. Like, how did she even get into the assassin business? How did she get trained? How has the moved through the ranks so quickly and built up such a good reputation when she's so young? Why does she only want to be paid in diamonds? Idk, whatever you want, really. Fill can be as long or as short as you want. In fact, multiple fills are encouraged, because I'm really intrigued for everyone's headcanons for her.

I was going to put in the stuff about diamonds too, but. *shrugs* I need to sleep. There may be more, but no promises?
PS: Aimée means love or lovely, and Mére means mother.
----
Sabine’s first clear memory is of glittering gems, and the dull rust of dried blood. Her name then isn’t Sabine, of course; it’s Aimée, and Mére smiles every time she says it.
Her next memory is of Mére’s glassy eyes, blue dulled almost to grey, and the startling off-white and pink of the human skin’s insides.
“Come,” says the man who killed her mother, holding out a black-gloved hand.
She goes.
*Gerard is a kind man, when he can be. He cannot be kind very often, and makes sure Aimée understands why ( ... )

seriously, all of this is going straight into my headcanon for her. i mean, the imagery in that whole first section is wonderful, and i am just in awe of the way you write, to be honest.

Also, re: diamonds. Her mother had this beautiful diamond necklace with matching earrings that she let Sabine try on once, and Sabine hates dealing with exchanging money, so: being payed in precious jewels! Also there can be stuff about the fluctuation of worth and how paper money is inherently worthless, only the government gives it legitimacy, etc, and she always plans for the worst. So something with inherent value would be safer (she's big about safety -- proof = her bodyguards in that hotel scene).
YEAH SO I HAVE LOTS OF HEADCANON FOR A CHARACTER I ONLY VAGUELY LIKE. HELP.

STORY OF MY LIFE.
And omg that whole little bit you just said there about Sabine once being allowed to try on the diamond necklace, and how she hates dealing with exchanging money and how paper money is inherently worthless and how she always plans for the worst akjshgdfajhsg THESE ARE THE LITTLE DETAILS THAT I LOVE. They just really make the character for me.
Also, I am also pretty disappointed that 'Sabine' didn't really mean anything, but I like the spin you put on it about lending itself to tragedy. UGH SO GOOD. YOU ARE SO AMAZING WITH THESE DETAILS I CAN'T.

Do you have a headcanon for Sabine? I'd be super-interested to hear it!

Tragic beginnings for Aimee, and weirdly enough, it didn't occur to me to think that Sabine isn't her real name, but that's a good touch.

Also I don't know why I thought Sabine had a different birth name, but. yeah. And Sabine doesn't really have a meaning, which is AN OVERSIGHT OF THE WRITERS. So I GAVE her name a meaning! /pounds fist on table
Sorry, I'm kind of on a sleep-deprived and stress high right now. SCHOOL SUCKS, MAN.

Funnily enough, I went and looked at Sabine's name definition after I read yours, and at first, I thought it didn't really mean anything either, but I like the story, about how Romans kidnapped some of the Sabine women, and the Sabine men came roaring after the Romans, but the women made peace between them. Sabine women = peacemaker. But Sabine Moreau is anything but a peacemaker. It's nicely ironic.
But I like Aimee, too. It's pretty, and it's more tragic in the context of your snippet.

It is very ironic, and quite interesting. If you're going to put something in your fill, I'd love to see it.

My brain is a traffic jam. I want to write ALL THE STORIES, which is not conducive to writing anything in particular. *facedesk* I'm going to try though and really hope for more fills to this, too. I'm way more fascinated by Sabine than I ought to!

So if we go with that, plus the story of the Sabine women, then Sabine Moreau ~ the dark [little] peacekeeper. That's all.
*runs away*
