# Fleurette — Sir Percy Hits Back character guide > Fleurette in Sir Percy Hits Back by Baroness Orczy. **Role:** major **Also known as:** Fleurette, Mam'zelle Fleurette, Mam'zelle **First appearance:** 0000-i ## Snapshot A gentle peasant girl who smuggles her mistress's hidden valuables past revolutionary soldiers, trusting a mysterious voice she believes comes from heaven. ## Who they are Fleurette moves between the château where she served and the village where the rough-handed Amédé loves her in silence, carrying secrets too heavy for her years. Her faith is absolute and her courage uncalculated — she walks into danger because a voice told her to, and because she cannot bear to see the innocent suffer.
