Cecile Contreras

Cecile, a character in the Perfect Match series, is an employee of Eros. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Cecile has dark brown hair, hazel eyes and tan skin complexion. She wears a navy jacket and a white shirt underneath, combined with a silver necklace and earrings.

Personality
Although she originally comes off as charismatic, it is a cover for her true dark and sinister personality. She is shown to care very little for the Matches, viewing them as replaceable objects instead of living things. Cecile believes that she is untouchable and doubts that you will be able to prove Eros' corruption, instead pointing out the several laws you broke to find evidence of said corruption.

She is shown to have a sadistic side given that she filmed herself beating Damien and implied she will torture him further if her demands are not met. Contrasting with Rowan's view for the Matches, she believes that they will be the perfect work force, essentially viewing them as slaves.

In Book 2, Chapter 12, it's revealed that Cecile authorized Operation: Countervail, which is Eros' plan to asassinate the President.

Rowan West
Rowan is Cecile's boss. She will sometimes interject if she feels he is getting off topic or ahead of himself. According to Khaan, Cecile encourages Rowan's darker side, although he thinks her vision is limited. During their last argument, he tells her that she is too focused on the practical and she has no true talent.

Your Character
She is the first person you meet when you take Eros Matchmaking quiz. In Book 1, Chapter 14, it is revealed that she has a crush on you, which you can use against her to steal the keys to your handcuffs. Although Your Character can flirt with her in later chapters (to the surprise of Damien and Harley), Cecile doesn't appear as receptive due to your interference with Eros' plans. In Book 2, Chapter 8, Your Character jokingly refers to pissing her off as "the usual". In the final chapter of Book 2, Cecile states she no longer has feelings for you if you ask to make out with her after her plans fail.

Matches

 * Mikail, The First Match: To test his programming, Rowan installs Mikail with the match persona of "Activist" (Book 2, Chapter 3), and has Cecile interact with him. She found his clinginess and overcompensation to be pathetic.
 * Harley Doyle: In her effort to recruit Harley, she tells her/him, "You're not just my ally... You stand as my equal". Because of this, Harley volunteers for and believes in their "mission" and follows Cecile's orders. However, as she tells Keegan, Cecile finds Harley to be subservient, eager to please, and "simple". When she/he discovers this and yells at her, she activates her tablet to override his/her personality program and ensure his/her behavior in Operation: Countervail.
 * Keegan: Cecile finds Keegan to be more "complex" than Harley. In an attempt to gain Keegan's full support (presumably in Operation: Counterveil), she tells Keegan, "You're not just my ally... You stand as my equal". Their relationship may be more than supervisor/worker, as Cecile also says that Keegan is "important to her", but her feelings toward Keegan may not be reciprocated. If Keegan is your ally, Keegan tells you that Cecile will receive her comeuppance.

Trivia

 * Her role in the story resembles that of Angela, a character from the TV show Westworld.
 * She is seen in Steve's high school photo in Chapter 5, if you decided to investigate.
 * Her crimes include aiding and abetting, kidnapping and torture.

 * The name Cecile is of Latin and Welsh origin and means: Blind (Latin); sixth (Welsh).
 * The surname Contreras is of Spanish origin and means "persons that is often opposed to the ideas or opinions of other people".
