A novel written during NaNoWriMo 2009 by Belucre.Mr. Babineaux is a wealthy man in his early sixties, whose wife died because of a combination of a carriage accident and childbirth, with one daughter, Février. Février is 15 years old, and has been raised all her life by subsitute parental figures in the form of her servants. She's materialistic, immature, and has a penchant for stirring up havoc. Her trouble-making, unbeknownst by her father, is actually an attempt to get him to notice her, simultaneously feeling bitter towards him, and yet viciously jealous of anyone who takes his attention away from her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Babineaux envies his daughter's youth and spoils her with presents, smothering her with whatever her little heart desires—except the time of day. He's far, far too occupied with viewing the latest heartwrenching opera or inspecting the newest piece of avant-garde artwork in the gallery, and when he does have time, his seething violet is busy wreaking mischief.He keeps up a dignified public image, but this mannered air crumbles into an increasingly haunted and paranoid state when he discovers his daughter's witchcraft, and starts fearing for her life. Driven insane, Mr. Babineaux ends up murdering and devouring his associates one by one, desperately wishing to protect his daughter—no matter the cost. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death: Subverted with Madeline, who was almost burned at the stake as a child. It's implied that Arachnid will die eventually this way as well. | |

Body Horror | |
| The Tale of Mr. Babineaux / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Lots of it. Charlotte's arms turning into boneless coils of flesh, the lower half of August's body being unable to survive Germaine's experiments, the twins' tongues getting cut out, Février waking up to find her mouth stitched shut, Madeline's previously healthy legs becoming withered and distorted, Deirdre forced to undergo a clitoridectomy, ect. | |

Decoy Protagonist | |
| The Tale of Mr. Babineaux / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: Mr. Babineaux himself. Though he starts off the first four chapters, the spotlight is quickly stolen by his daughter and occasionally members of the supporting cast. | |
