Coquelicot is the youngest member of the Paris Assault Force and lives and works at the Cirque de Europe in Paris where she is both an animal trainer and magician. Originally an orphan from Vietnam, she does not remember when she came to France. Despite the meager meals she is given under the abusive ringmaster, Donikuuru, she continues her work at the circus out of her strong love for animals, as well as out of the necessity that it puts a roof over her head.
