Bordeaux is a young, red-haired woman scantily dressed in purple and black armor with many spider-like motifs. She wields a twisted, barbed sword when she fights, which is a frequent occurance. Her wave symbol consists of a large tattoo on her forehead. She seems to be using the same PC type as Ender.

Red Bordeaux, which is traditionally known as claret in the United Kingdom, is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Carmenere. Today Malbec is very seldom used, and Carmenere is used in tiny quantities. An example of a famous château that uses Carmenere is Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux.

Bordeaux's red wines have a reputation for being brutally bitter when young, and more acidic and less fruity than American wines. Wine writers extol the longevity of Bordeaux reds and routinely discourage people from drinking them until the wines are at least 10 years old. No wonder Americans looking for a bottle with tonight's dinner don't buy Bordeaux.
