Mental characteristics
Personal history
Firstborn of the house of Caille, but women are only second-hand heirs in the west, and have more restrictive property laws. As such she went south to Kehlenburr, having become enamored with the god Talos and aiming to join the military academy and order. There, she earned great renown in tournaments, musical performances, and for her savvy in public speaking. As time went on, she was sent to minor conflicts as a military attaché and, later, commander.
When her younger brother died, once again becoming heir apparent, she returned to Rochenoir for some time. As the The Grasp of Voyshka started their approach, she left the castle in the hands of her younger sister Ame, herself known both for her court and her skill as a knight, to rally an army to face the invading enemy. Soon afterwards, the castle was besieged, and remained so as of the rapture.
Social
Contacts & Relations
A knight of the Order of Talos in Kehlenburr, where she resided before becoming heir apparent of Rochenoir and the surrounding fief of Caille. Close friends with knight commander Art De Lise, a fellow westerner. Has served on most frontiers of the various city-states of the Golden Cities, and made various allies. This makes her the perfect, if such a thing exists, leader of a coalition army.
Mannerisms
As warm as she needs to be; she strokes egos, competes in a friendly manner with those around her. Occasionally explosive temper.
