Was this Laurell K. Hamilton by any chance?
Anyway, Ma Petite means My little (one) in french and narcissus means a bulb plant...basically a flower or the greek character.

Narcissus is both a Greek mythological figure, and a flower. And "ma petite" means "my little" in French....my high school French is a bit rusty though.

narcissus was a character in a greek myth. The moral was not to be narcicistic. Ma petite means my little. Hope this helps!

Narcissus is a name of a flower. It is said that he was the most handsome man on earth but , once while admiring himself in the river, he tripped and died.But the gods refused to let such a beautiful creature die hence made him a flower.About 'ma petite' is a character related to Anita blake hunter series or in french"little one".

A narcissus is a white flower raised from a bulb - rather like a small white daffodil. "Ma petite" is just French for "my little one" - it's generally used as an endearment.

Narcissus is a person who is very vain about themselves and it is also a flower.
Ma petite, in the books I've read, always seems to be a older person speaking to a younger person or, since I enjoy Regency era bodice rippers, a man to a woman who is usually the one he has a flaming affair with and then marries.

"Ma petite" is French for "my little girl" and "Narcissus" is a mythological character who died from drowning in a pond on which he was staring at his own reflection all the time.

Narcissus is a narcissist.
That is someone who is stuck up and idolizes themselves thinks about no one and nothing but themselves.
A narcissistic boyfriend would look in the mirror more than you and tell himself how good he looks instead of telling you.
Get it?
Ma petite?
I can't help you there.
