So, who am I, then?


My real name is Ophélie Bruneau. I took the nickname "Jorinda" years ago, because I thought Ophélie sounded both too French and too Shakespearian. "The Frenchgirl" came when I realized I was more or less the only French person in the world of cyberadoption, which is, of course, no more the case! This is no patriotism. I am not a patriot, except perhaps when a French athlete wins an Olympic event :-)

Physically speaking, I am a small young woman of 25, with a light complexion, long dark brown hair and hazel eyes, fleshy but not qualifying as a "plus" girl. I have a son, Mahé, born on the 30th of March 2003.

Although I grew up in Reunion Island, a territory owned by France in the Indian Ocean (and totally integrated to the country, a bit like Hawaii in the USA), I currently live near Paris, a city that doesn't live up to the myth around it, at least not in my opinion. I work in a banking company as a computer engineer. My boyfriend is known on the Web as Nounours.
We have lived together for seven years and are still madly in love, thank you.

I try to keep my life as full as possible. I really should start sport again, but I still consider myself as an active woman. I am interested in legends and myths, and the Egyptian goddess Maat is tattoed on my left hip.
