[C1-KiteSeekers-Wasurenai-Licca] The Story of Perrine

Perrine (known as "Peline Paindavoine" in French) is the daughter of a French father and a half-Indian mother. Her father dies along their trip. Before dying, her father asks his wife and Perrine to return to his hometown Maraucourt. Perrine and her mother run a travelling photo studio as they continue their journey. However, her mother subsequently dies in Paris, leaving Perrine alone. Following her last words, Perrine arrives in Maraucourt after an arduous journey. The first time she meets her grandfather Mr. Paindavoine she finds that he is very stern and absolutely despises her mother. As a result, Perrine hides her real identity and uses a false name to work in her grandfather's cotton factory. At the outset, she pushed a hand cart. Later, she worked in English-language translation. That work got her recognized by Mr. Paindavoine, who asked that she become his secretary.
She became very sad upon finding out that her father and grandfather were on terrible terms. Her grandfather had expelled her father due to his marriage to her mother. Nonetheless, Perrine loved her grandfather and did her best in terms of her work. Mr. Paindavoine soon softened his heart with regard to Perrine. At the end, Perrine finally admitted her true identity to him.
