THE SANDBOX · OCCUPIED FRANCE, 1943

INTERDIT, MARGUERITE!

A continuing Resistance adventure with European clear-line storytelling, screwball comedy, sensuality, espionage, disguise failures, bureaucracy, romance, wartime danger, and recurring character chemistry.

CHARM.
CHAOS.
COURAGE.

Marguerite is the central visual and narrative star: a young brunette Resistance heroine with an expressive face, daisy motif, red kerchief, fitted white blouse, red skirt with blue dots, and flat shoes. She is daring, impulsive, cheerful, kind, physically attractive, and more capable than enemies initially assume.

Her attractiveness can generate jokes, romantic complications, wardrobe mishaps, or pin-up energy — but she must never become useful only because she is attractive.

Étienne notices the machine, radio, explosive, manual, or repair problem before he notices Marguerite. The occupation stays real enough that the humor retains consequence.
