She is a beautiful and confident noble girl, who came to court and catches the eye of King Charles during a party in French Court for King Antoine's arrival. She and Charles were in a private room where Charles brought opium so they could pour it into their wine, until Constance chokes and passes out. Later on, Stéphane Narcisse came to help her. Once she awoke, Constance began to cry.

Season Three
Extreme Measures
Constance arrives at French Court and greets Charles. She is later seen walking with him and talking about their past times. As they reminisce, Constance invites Charles to spend the night with her. During their encounter she takes a lot of opium, which lands her in a coma. She is eventually saved by Claude, Charles and Stéphane Narcisse. She presumably leaves court shortly after this incident, as the audience never sees her again and Charles doesn't mention her.
Personality
She is delightful, fun and breezy, but also challenging as she's aware of her power over men. Her adventurous side sometimes gets the better of her and she isn't afraid of using alcohol and drugs.
Physical Appearance
Constance has high, prominent cheekbones, dark sleek hair, greyish eyes and tall eyebrows. She wears pearls and dresses in dark purples.
Relationships
Charles: Charles and Constance have a past. It is implied that they lost their virginity to each other in Italy. It must be sad that Constance wasn't too interested in Charles before he became heir to the throne, as she had relations with another boy, Lorenzo, during the same time and spent time with her friends to avoid him. Charles was always besotted with her.
