Biography
Born in Le Mans, Éclair Nice grew up in Northern France for most of her life. Her mother passed away at birth, leaving her with her dad who was a professional racing driver. Growing up around cars for most of her life, Éclair planned to be a driver, professionally racing vintage Grand Prix cars and cars from the 60s,following    footsteps. However at the age of 17 she lost her father in an accident at the Monza Autodrome, very similar to another accident from an earlier race. With her aunt in Japan being her closest relative, she ended up leaving France and moving in with her. Éclair chose to ease the transition into changing countries by going to Maginot, which she hoped wouldn’t be too different from home. Once there, she found tankery, and through a combination of interest in it as well as seeing it as the safer option to classic racing, Éclair joined the team. Another item of note is that while in France, Éclair and her father found the missing Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic Coupe and restored it. Because of this, she has a very close emotional connection to the car, and is very careful with it. Because of the driving laws in France, she never got to drive it before her father passed away, but it’s now in running condition and gets used every once and a while. Also notable is just like her grandmother Hellé Nice, she had a career in modelling before moving, with a fashion line.

After arriving at Maginot, Éclair realized she did not like the tactics and leadership style of the current commander. On a whim, she challenged the commander to a duel for control of the team, which she managed to win despite having no experience with tanks. Most of the team liked the pervious commander over Éclair, and thought that winning the duel was a fluke, and so left when she assumed power. Éclair has since been rebuilding the team. While at Maginot, Éclair was able to get her pilots license on the Maginot ANF-Les Mureaux 117.R2 spy plane, which she sometimes flies during matches.
