Comtesse Amélie d’Yeu

Comtesse Amélie d’Yeu

Created by Maurice Tillieux in Tif et Tondu contre le Cobra, it then appears in nine adventures of the Will-Tillieux duo. Her character will be taken up by Blutch and Robber for the album But where is Kiki?. Extremely rich (she has an annuity from her deceased parents and a billion emeralds), she finances certain adventures (like the expedition to Burma for the album Aventure Burmane) and her family sometimes advances the plot (like her uncle organizing a mystification aimed at making her look mad in Tif et Tondu contre le Cobra, or her niece falling into the lion’s den in Métamorphoses). Kiki has a strong character, she handles irony to perfection and does not lack a certain nerve, as demonstrated by her attempt to illegally introduce her dog Cambronne into England (Sorti des abîmes). With her long blond hair, her red lips, her ebony eyes, her mole under the eye and her wasp waist, the Countess is particularly attractive – Tif begins to fall under her spell when he meet.
