Bernadette de Trevalion is the daughter of Lyonette and Marc de Trevalion and younger sister of Baudoin de Trevalion. As the daughter of Lyonette, she is considered a Princess of the Blood. She marries Ghislain de Somerville and they have one son, Bertran. When her mother's conspiracy to overthrow the rule of King Ganelon de la Courcel with the aid of Cruithne Prince Maelcon was exposed, Bernadette and her father were exiled from Terre d'Ange for their complicity in the plot. Later, when Ysandre de la Courcel rose to the d'Angeline throne, she granted clemency to the surviving Trevalions, on the grounds Bernadette married Ghislain de Sonerville so that the Azzallese people would accept him as lord. Bernadette nonetheless held resentment over the fates of her mother and brother who were executed for treason, and many years later she hired an assassin to kill the young Courcel Prince Imriel nó Montrève de la Courcel in vengeance.
