Sophie Françoise Charlotte de France

Sophie Françoise Charlotte de France (14th December. 1683 - Present) is the firstborn child and daughter of Francois Jules de France, the Monseigneur le Grand Dauphin. She was known as a particular favorite to her father, unlike her siblings which included the important Petit-Dauphin, Duc de Bourgogne. As the sole favorite of her father, she was given an endless amount of attention by the Grand Dauphin. However, to her mother the Madame la Grande Dauphine Élisabeth Henriette Charlotte d'Orléans-Longueville-Anjou she wasn't quite as notable or adored. As such, she came to love her father more than her mother and grew up seeing him as nothing but a saint.

Despite her long heritage of deep inbreeding, including her parents being first cousins, she was known as one of the more pretty and attractive daughters of the future King of France.

Early Life
During the late night of the 14th of December, 1683, all courtiers from across the Château de Versailles came to quickly flood into the second floor. Each and everyone were expectant and excited for the birth of the first child of the Monseigneur le Grand Dauphin, the crowds ranging in the thousands. The scenario is often compared to the birth of the Grand Dauphin himself, which was incredibly similar. Once the hour of eight in the morning came, the Madame la Duchesse de Penthièvre et Légitimée de France alongside her husband the Duc de Penthièvre would lead the large procession of Princes and Princesses of the Blood towards the bedchamber of the Madame la Grande-Dauphine. Shortly upon their arrival, the birth of a seemingly healthy daughter would be announced and known as "Sophie Françoise Charlotte". Despite mild disappointment at the birth of a firstborn daughter, celebrations were held for the new Madame Royale, and an overwhelming sense of happiness filled the court.

At six months old, her godparents would be declared as the Monsieur le Duc d'Anjou and the Madame la Duchesse de Rohan. Her personal name would be given in honor of her mother Élisabeth Henriette Charlotte d'Orléans-Longueville-Anjou. She was described as looking much more like her father than any of her siblings later in life.

Education and Adolescence
Her education was said to be more than beneficial towards the Madame Royale and her sisters, as they were expected to learn everything about becoming a suitable royal consort. Like most Filles de France she would have been under the sharp eye of many tutors in Versailles. She would have also spent the most time with her sister the Madame Seconde, Anne Louise Sophronie. The two would often be seen together during their studies, and when they would be brought by the Dauphin to visit the court.

It was also noted that she was the most favored child of her father, often receiving praise and special attention that was hardly afforded to her other siblings.
