Muse, also titled Songes: Coraline, is a Humanoids published French graphic novel written by Denis-Piere Filippi and with art by Terry Dodson.The story is set in The Edwardian Era of France and follows Coraline Doucet, a beautiful young woman who was recently hired to serve as governess to Sir Vernère, a mysterious and eccentric inventor of Steampunk contraptions who, much to Coraline's surprise, turns out to be a young boy. Other characters include Ekborn, a handyman, and Miss. Guérande, a maid who helps Coraline get adjusted to her stay at Vernère's château.Still, though, getting adjusted to life in the château is proving to be rather difficult. The residence holds many mysteries, Vernère's personality makes him hard to work with, and if that wasn't enough, at night Coraline has extremely vivid dreams that take her to all sorts of weird places.The first volume was released only in France in 2006 under the title Songes: Coraline tome 1. After many delays, tome 2 was released in fall 2012. For the United States and the rest of Europe, both volumes are combined and released under the title Muse.

comment
All Men Are Perverts: Coraline seems to inspire lust with most of the men she's meets. Ekborn takes pervy photos of her without her knowledge and most of the men in her dreams try to have their way with her.

Gorgeous Period Dress
 Muse (Comic Book) / int_4fe1aa4c
comment
Gorgeous Period Dress: Coraline's dreams start with her opening her closet, which in her dreams is a doorway to the Caparrelli brothers' clothing store. The two brothers make her beautiful outfits fitting for the era the rest of her dreams take place in. The outfits rarely last long. In the real world her closet was already filled with fancy clothes just for her before she settled in the chateau.

comment
Actually, I Am Him: The job notice was pretty unclear and Ekborn and Guérande are very cryptic as far as what type of person Sir Vernère is. So naturally Coraline is surprised to learn that the inventor of all the strange devices around the chateau is actually a young boy.

Swashbuckler: Coraline's first dream plays out like a pirate movie. She's transported to a royal British navy ship under siege by pirates. The pirates capture her, take her to their ship, and were about to have their way with her only to be stopped by their dashing looking captain. Unfortunately the captain only rescues her to take her to the captain quarters to try to have sex with her.

Or Was It a Dream?: It's not clear whether or not Coraline's dreams are actually real. For instance, in her second dream Coraline applies apricot scented ointment on her body. When she awakens from the dream she notices the strange lingering smell of apricot.

Berserk Button: Treating Vernère like a child or suggesting he do something childlike is a very good way to make him angry. During a slow dance, Coraline's dress and height difference between her and Vernère make it hard to dance with him so she pick him up. Vernère immediately demands to be put down and storms off.
