            A demoiselle is a term originating from French, meaning a young lady or girl. However, it can be used contextually to refer to:

            1. Birds: A species of small or medium-sized cranes of the genus Anthropoides, such as the demoiselle crane.

            2. Animals: A type of damselfly particularly in the family Calopterygidae, known for their elegant movement and delicate build.

            3. Historical social status: In historical context, it refers to the youngest daughter of a French noble family.
