Avril's Québec note: the potato-baron father — Avril's Québec roots
Did I mention her own father had been a potato farmer, at one time a millionaire potato-baron-type farmer, in Québec?
Context
The lineage fact this thread turns on: Avril's father was "a millionaire potato-baron-type farmer, in Québec" — deep, propertied Québécois roots, not the assimilated-expatriate surface the E.T.A. persona projects. It grounds the avril-afr question (real pre-existing Québécois ties) in a fact Orin drops almost parenthetically: the Dean of Females at an O.N.A.N. tennis academy is the daughter of a Québec land-baron whose country was erased by the Reconfiguration. (The L'Islet potato farm "now part of the Great Concavity" recurs at 179/159/n160.)
