To become a sister of Roissy Val d’ Oise a submissive has to have many qualities, some are as follows.
To be:

Adjointe de Samois
The day of Sister Graduation is an incredibly emotional day for a submissive, for she has worked deligiently on her path. Held in the Roissy Chateau Garden, the famille arrive in their most formal attire. All eyes are glued to the stage before them in anticipation of honoring a significant milestone of the Submissive Path Training.
Amongst the Officiants of her Sister Graduation:
After Maitre Dusty welcomes everyone, and after Xanadu speaks on behalf of House of Samois, the recommendation is made by Maitre Taylor as the one who gave Harley her Sister Final. Maitre René tells us: "The Sister Final is a test of a Demoiselle's Submission based upon her strengths and weaknesses; it is no easy task even for the experienced submissive but a challenge, one that pushes the submissive and brings her a deeper core of her surrender", reminding us of the seriousness of this milestone.
"Hello and welcome everyone, I am honored to be part of another one of our submissives completing the path that is so unique in this realm in which we exist. Our paths here at VdO set us apart from any other community, this is one reason I feel our submissives are very elite, a cut above.
"I met this little fire plug several months ago and found her very refreshing, a spit fire with an appetite for fun banter and clever thought. Oh and dominance, the girl does enjoy being Dominated.
"Myself, fae and Harley did the binding scene needed as part of her log and Harley contributed to the scene making it an enjoyable scene for all three of us. I think she has a thing for ropes.
"We only scened once after that but we did continue to speak. As we spoke I worried slightly that because of her RL experience in D/s, BDSM, she may become disenchanted. We all have our ups and downs here and Harley is no different. But, she has remained true, obedient, and loyal to our community.
"I was glad to see her create a friendship with another of our sisters Malana. It is always nice to have support.
"Harley came to me several weeks ago and asked if I would be her Maitre for her sister final but because of vacations and other circumstances I told her it would be a while. She told me she would wait and I must say she showed great patience, a great trait in a submissive in my book.
"So, we planned and I told her what was expected. We followed the outline given to her by Gilli drawn from her strengths and weaknesses. During our session, we explored kinks, tested her mental toughness, her servitude, her obedience, and overall submission. All of which, I am happy to announce, is up to the standards of this community.
(To Maitre René and the administration group present) "It is in my estimation that this girl is more than worthy to be one of our sister submissives. I say this in no uncertain terms."
"This woman has such an amazing story. Her story is not mine to tell, but I promise if you spend time with her, you will laugh and learn so much. Like so many here, she has dealt with the massive ups and downs of RL. She knows loss and pain, happiness and success. With each of these experiences she's questioned "why this?" and "why now?" and ultimately she's grown stronger with each of these experiences.
"She knows what is important in life and, and Maitre Taylor said, brings such a wealth of RL and SL BDSM experience to Roissy. She's been a solid, consistent and quiet presence here since December. Most of you know that our RL and SL paths have come close to crossing then finally came together back in January, here in Roissy. We were at the same college in Texas as the same time, our RL BDSM worlds mirror each others, and we've spent significant time in SL Gor here...but never met until I came here in January.
"I really do believe in karma, and meeting Harley was exactly that. If the true definition of a friend is one who can make you laugh, I've found the absolute best in this woman. Her quick wit and cheeky banter has me belly laughing each and every day, and I'm so thankful that we are here together."
"One of the best things about Roissy are the bonds of friendship that can grow here. The BDSM community has that ability. Before I even started on my logs, this woman and I hit it off. Because of her friendship, we both had someone to lean on during our struggles and challenges, to encourage us to continue our paths, to help with our events and assignments, to bounce ideas off of, and to just hang out during quieter times.
"Harley, I could not be prouder to welcome you into the bonds of Roissy sisterhood. You've worked hard, pushed yourself and remained steadfast on this journey. I absolutely cherish our friendship and am so thankful for you. Congratulations to you my sister and dear friend! This is a well deserved celebration of your success!"
"Maitre Rene," invites Gillian. "You have heard the recommendations of Maitre Taylor and the warm support given to that recommendation of Xan. May I invite you now, to confer on Demoiselle Harley the title and the ring of Sisterhood?"
"Thanks Gillian," says Maitre René. He runs his hand down the front of his vest. He gives a little tug on the bottom of it, straightening in his chair. He smiles, nodding reflectively on the recommendations he has heard today and looks at the sweet Demoiselle, kneeling nervously but confidently on her cushion.
Harley feels her face warm as it turned pink, then glanced up with a nervous smile.
Maitre René begins.
"The day of Sister Graduation is always special for our community. Hearing the recommendations given on behalf of Demoiselle Harley for her Sister Graduation lifts my spirit."
He looks back to Gillian and gives a nod of his head. "With pleasure I agree to continue with the proceedings. Gillian, have Demoiselle Harley come forward and kneel before me."
Gillian smiles, "yes Maitre Rene" and looks at Harley. "Demoiselle Harley, come forward please and kneel before Maitre Rene."
Harley smiled gratefully to Maitre Rene, then stood gracefully and moved forward, kneeling at his feet.
Maitre René smiles at Demoiselle Harley kneeling before him. He looks along the platform recalling all of their supportive words spoken on her behalf. He raises his eyes and looks out towards the gathering of community, friends, and visitors, seeing them all makes him feel very proud to be a part of the wonderful famille of Roissy Val d’ Oise.
Instinctively, he pulls a weathered old leather journal from an inner pocket of his jacket and thumbs through the pages until he finds the name he searches for. He reads the notes that he has made throughout Demoiselle Harley’s journey. Maitre René smiles, looks out at all the Debutantes and Demoiselles sure they are all wondering what is written in his old leather journal. He gives them a playful wink, saying: "I do know who has been naughty or nice."
Closing the journal with a crisp snap, he slips it back into the jacket pocket and stands.
"My family, you see here before you a sweet submissive, one who has honored her path. Allow me to share the highlights of her submissive training with House of Samois.
"As Demoiselle she blossomed as a beautiful rose, pink and fragrant for all the Dominants to smell." Tilting his head back, Maitre closes his eyes and pretends to smell a fragrant air. He opens his eyes and grins at the audience.
"Ah, such a fine scent given from a bouquet of wonderful flowers... maybe we call our submissives the ‘Roissy Bouquet’." He smiles and lays one hand upon his chest.
"Well now, where was I before such intoxication?" He looks into Harley’s pretty eyes and smiles warmly. "Ah yes, Harley’s Submissive Path milestones……..she continued as she traveled along, eager to learn and absorb as Demoiselle.
Maitre René nods to Taylor and says, "Thank you my friend for all your support." He looks out to the audience after Maitre Taylor smiled and nodded back.
"I know I have said this before but it is always good to hear it again…………The Sister Final is a test of a Demoiselle's Submission based upon her strengths and weaknesses."
Harley peers upward and softly smiles at Maitre Rene.
"It is no easy task even for the experienced submissive," he continues. "But a challenge; one that pushes the submissive and brings her a deeper core of her surrender." He looks back down upon the lovely Demoiselle, smiles and gently caresses her cheek.
Harley feels the gentle touch and smiles.
"Harley you proved the depth of your submission competently. Today it is my pleasure to award you the prestigious Roissy Val d'Oise ring and title of Sister of Roissy Val d'Oise." He looks upon her and smiles gently.
"Harley, please hold out your hand."
Harley looks up with a proud smile and whispers "Thank you Maitre Rene," extending her hand toward him
Maitre René reaches inside his vest pocket and pulls out a ring... he holds it up before Harley just as a gleam of sunlight catches on the shiny band, highlighting the Roissy insignia, smiling, as he reaches for her hand, holding it in his own and slides the shiny ring into place.
Harley looked at the ring held before her, her smile widening.
He holds her hand in both of his, and leaning forward says softly to her: "Sister Harley, I believe you will inspire many as you move forward into the role of Mentor. My wish is that you will continue to grow and learn and nurture others not only along your own path but their paths also."
He runs his fingers lightly over her hair...............
Harley held hear breath as he spoke, listening to the soft words whispered in her ear. "Thank you Maitre Rene, I will work to make you proud" and she smiled as he ran his fingers through her hair.
Maitre René smiles
"Now before you is another path, should you choose to walk it, that of O Aspirante and it is my hope that you feel called down that path…… do you Harley?"
Harley nodded her head softly "of course, Maitre Rene, I'd be honored"
"Wonderful."
Letting go her hand, René smiles warmly, and reaching for a champagne flute, holds it up.
Harley lowered her hand to rest gently on her lap, glancing down at the new ring adorning her finger.
"Sister Harley, this is a wonderful day for you. Your day!"
"Yes, Maitre Rene - it is a wonderful day..thank you."
He glances up at the audience. " Join me family and friends!. A Toast to congratulate and welcome Sister Harley into our Roissy Val d’Oise Sisterhood. To you, Sister Harley! Cheers!"
