They discuss how he'd never betray anyone, his family or his friends, and how he's someone who's bound by his word, a truly admirable thing in their eyes. And his brains, oh well his brains are the pride and joy of his family. He's got quite the intellect, and when paired with his silver tongue, he's quite the diplomat. He truly is a native to the mountains, an aspiring philosopher who's known for holding intelligent conversations with some of the greatest minds in Lhivoria. But in hushed tones, people murmur about how the young Hyland heir has a dark side. How his desire for power leads him to disregard other people's feelings. They whisper about how his charisma makes him quite the manipulator, and while he may be bound by his word, he's not one to give it out easily. His intelligence and upbringing as a noble has made him slightly arrogant, though some may find this more endearing than annoying.

In the morning, his birth was heralded around Mount Promonon and he was celebrated before he knew how important he was. As a young child, he was paraded around court, meeting noble lords and ladies, and learning the intricate workings of politics. Quite a lot for a boy to take in, but such are the responsibilities of an heir. As he grew older, he grew into quite the picture perfect heir. Handsome, intelligent, charismatic, and a skilled swordsman, his parents couldn't have been prouder of him. But Edwin did not have his sights set on ruling over only Hyland lands. As he grew into his teens and became an adult, he began to question what gave the Ainsworths their right to rule? Why had the gods chosen them? Why shouldn't the Hylands sit on the throne? Of course, he kept such thoughts to himself, but has long been considering ways to rise to power, and gain the recognition for the Hylands that he thinks they deserve.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Amelia Gully] [hr][hr][center] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjgwLjMxZmM3Zi5RVzFsYkdsaElFZDFiR3g1LjA,/sweet-lady.italic.png[/img] [img]http://33.media.tumblr.com/3efb54f4ee19b59757a3510d6416db0d/tumblr_nqipwgn2LI1uyildvo1_500.gif[/img] [color=springgreen][sub]"Wars are not won on the battlefield with swords.

How kind she is, a true champion of the downtrodden or oppressed. It's far from her nature to hurt someone she believes to be innocent, or to refrain from helping someone in need. And her wit is without measure, so sharp is her tongue and quick is her mind, that she holds an honorary place as an advisor in her father's small council, much to the disdain of some of her father's less open minded banner men. But the side Amelia keeps from others is dark and full of terrors. She may look out for others, but her number on priority is herself, and her happiness, no one elses. And to her, promises are wasted time. She has a habit of making them and breaking them as they please her, although she makes sure that when she breaks a promise, no one will be able to accuse her of it. She's a ruthless woman in truth, doing anything and everything to get to the top.

Clawing for her own recognition. She was always a smart girl, and knew how to get her way. She'd sit nicely and politely, taking her lessons that father insisted on, and then she'd bat her eyes and wobble her bottom lip, and bring everything crashing down. Some might say that this early behavior has led to where she is now. As she grew into a young woman, one that many girls envied and many men desired, she finally gained the recognition she believed she deserved. Her wise words and quick wit led her father to appoint her as an advisor in his council, an action that was met with forced smiles and insincere congratulations from the other council members. Never the less, she used this in to begin gaining recognition for the Gully's, helping to increase their power. Two years since that day, and she's turned the Gully's into quite the significant power, or rather she's helped her father do so. Their navy is considerably stronger than it had been before, and the war on piracy is one that is being won, thanks to her advice. Many whisper that she is some sort of witch, for she seems to know every move her enemies will make. In truth, she just makes use of many informants, using secrets to her advantage. If she's lucky, she'll be able to use secrets to take the throne, and crown herself a queen.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Amara Gully] [hr][hr][center] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjgwLjQyOGY2MC5RVzFoY21FZ1IzVnNiSGssLjAA/seaweed-script.regular.png[/img] [img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/9751752e5032509dbca2183d48348c6d/tumblr_n0m68fhTDR1ridkjdo4_250.gif[/img] [color=seagreen][sub]"The world has not shown us mercy, and so we shall return the favor."[/sub][/color][/center] [hr][hr] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Name: [indent]Amara Myrcella Gully [i]The Steel Serpent[/i] - A reference to Amara's cold personality and the Gully's relation to the sea.[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Age: [indent]47[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Gender: [indent]Female[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Sexuality: [indent]Heterosexual[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Origins: [indent]Mount Promonon Region[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Residence: [indent]Gully's Keep, Quell Sea Region[/indent] [center][hr][img]http://67.media.tumblr.com/a1291676223305a941052195ffdb9ce4/tumblr_n0t8cdCFwY1ts2or9o2_250.gif[/img][hr][/center] [center][color=seagreen]◾[/color] Devoted [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Cold [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Determined [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Unhinged [color=seagreen]◾[/color][/center] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Personality: [indent]Amara is nothing if not a mother. She is a woman who is devoted solely to her children, and she puts them first in every possible way. Her family is her everything, and not one person doubts that she would die for each and every member. Aside from her devotion, she is a determined and intelligent woman, someone who won't stop until her wishes are fulfilled. She's willing to use any means necessary to attain her goals, and has done so before. Amara is not this perfect woman though. She has a cold, unfeeling demeanor about her, a result of countless traumas. While her family catches more glimpses of her warmth than anyone else, she is known throughout the land as being a woman who can strike fear into any man's heart, with just one look. This might be less frightening, if she was much more sane than she is. Her mind has been affected by many psychological traumas, and sometimes she acts impulsively because of it.[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Role & Career: [indent]Wife of Lord Gully, and the Gully Matriarch[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Hobbies & Interests: [indent]✔️ Needlework ✔️ Astronomy ✔️ Reading ✔️ Writing[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Likes & Dislikes: [indent]✔️ Family ✔️ The sea ✔️ Being alone ✔️ Walking the castle walls ✖️ Feast or tournaments ✖️ Speaking to people ✖️ Thinking of the past ✖️ The Ainsworths[/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Other: [indent]Nope[/indent] [center][hr][img]http://65.media.tumblr.com/f75b75a1e1b01f2fecd38a2f87545c56/tumblr_mzn3w3ss2u1rwivlyo1_250.gif[/img][hr][/center] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Family Members: [indent]Ser Lucan Gully - Eldest Son Lord Ithobal Gully - Second Son Lady Amelia Gully - Daughter [/indent] [color=seagreen]◾[/color] Biography: [indent]Amara was born into a family of lesser nobles, from the Quell Sea. The Moors, were a family that had built their fortune on trade and had become banner men to the Gullys around a century prior to Amara's birth. As a young girl, Amara was known for her carefree, and joyful nature, and she'd often be seen running across her family's land, laughing and shrieking with delight. That all changed when she was barely a woman. When Amara was sixteen, the Moors had a run in with the Ainsworths, a minor one but one that hurt the family's pride none the less. The two families had always had poor relations. The Moors sought be viewed as a more noble house, but the Ainsworths saw them as nothing more than merchants. Finally, this conflict escalated after a Moor ship sunk of the coast of the Quell Sea. Seeking vengeance, Walder Moor blamed the Ainsworths and led one of the most ill fated rebellions in the history of Lhivoria. For six months, the Moors and other minor houses fought against the royal family, until finally they were defeated. The Moors were all taken to the capital where the king promised Walder that he would be noble in hell. Amara was forced to watch as the king executed her father and her three brothers on the steps of the palace. That was the end of Amara's joyful days. Amara was spared the brutality of an execution, and was instead gifted to the young Lord Gully, due to being quite the beauty when she was younger. Her troubles did not end here. Her marriage was rife with failed pregnancies and stillbirths, none of which helped her fragile mental state. She was lucky to give birth to her three children, as people say any more tragedy and she may have gone completely mad. She'd never stopped seeking revenge though, and she intends to burn every last Ainsworth to dust, even if it means dying herself.[/indent] [/hider]
