Her more aloof appearance suggests she is far more casual than most princesses despite her father supposedly holding a small island-based barony in Tromania and being said to being the definition of a knightly albeit perfectionist personality. Whilst other princesses prefer being presentable it is Lyriel who prefers what she feels like despite generally being well-dressed and proper looking— the way she walks makes that a fact. Lyriel is also notoriously short when it comes to height; setting in at 5’1” with a energetic aesthetic about her that fits her thin almost wire-like physique. Her dresses tend to be drenched in sharp colors alongside ebony accompaniment such as gold, rose, emerald, and violet. Additionally she goes nowhere without a long black band in her hair with crimson etchings.

I [i]hate[/i] her. I don’t know what to do with her to make her realize that she needs to change. The world is not her oyster.” —King Irthur I Swiftwind Lyriel is most often seen as a complicated and problematic young girl— her way of thinking is obtuse, childish, inane, and not all that princess-like; and it is her behaviors that have continued to “enrich” her reputation abroad. What few friends she does have define her as eccentric and whimsical while her rivals define her as insane and arbitrary. [/color][/indent] [color=DBA2C1][sub][ ♚ ] C H I L D H O O D[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Lyriel Swiftwind is a princess of The Kingdom of Northwatch. The daughter of [b]King Riaon III Swiftwind[/b] and [b]Queen Oriana Hawkhart[/b], Lyriel was born four and ten years ago in Swiftwind Keep. A devious, energetic, and brilliant child with a penchant for being an absolute troublemaker and terrible student; one thing is clear about Lyriel and that would be the fact of her being interesting albeit [i]dangerous.[/i] Nicknamed “The Mad Princess” by her brother after she dyed his hair pink by sneaking into his room when he was ten years past his nameday upon the night preluding his annual birthday celebration; an incident that Lyriel claims was a big misunderstanding— a misunderstanding that he shouldn’t have thrown her favorite doll out of the window in anger. Lyriel was of course reprimanded but the damage to her brother’s reputation was done and for several months the nobles his age would taunt him as “Princess Irthur”, a nickname that amused his sister greatly as evident from a gift she gave him some weeks later in the form of a tiara. His misery was her delight. Such happenings continued to occur until her father fell off the balcony in a drunken fit, in what was believed to be rambling about how neither of his children were fit to run the kingdom and he was better off pawning it off to one of the neighboring great houses instead. Regardless of what he thought, Prince Irthur had inherited the woes of the kingdom and Lyriel’s games went silent for a time. Still her brother never forgot such insults she had given him and in a petty rulership continued to harass her and tempt her now that he was in power and she his subject. However due to this Lyriel made sure while she was in Swiftwind Keep any girl he courted would never fall for him or marry him. Accusations of molestation, unkingly behavior, homosexual preferences, venereal disease, and other such things. She even convinced one girl that her brother believed that he could talk to trees somehow. But eventually her brother had [i]enough.[/i] In a fit of spite he sent her off to The Conclave to teach her a lesson. She hasn’t forgotten his treachery. [/color][/indent] [color=DBA2C1][sub][ ♚ ] M O T I V E S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Lyriel was admitted to The Conclave one year ago after the King of Northwatch, her brother, decided to suggest that The Conclave forge her into a proper lady or perhaps to get him out of his castle for the time being. [/color][/indent] [color=DBA2C1][sub][ ♚ ] C R E D E N T I A L S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75][b]Diplomacy:[/b] Whilst diplomacy is a consistent part of important political and mercantile deals, the proper courtesies and manners are all effectively boring to Lyriel. Feeling like that she has no reason to be polite if she doesn’t [i]have[/i] to be she tends to exhibit a pompous casual manner to her; a problematic trait, indeed. Finding the study of social sciences of little importance to her personally it is unclear if The Conclave will teach her differently. [b]Faith:[/b] Religion is a very important part of life for many people, but for Lyriel she doesn’t think about it much. She finds the lectures and preachings disinteresting as she often falls asleep during faith studies. [u][b]Intrigue:[/b][/u] It always seems Lyriel has an ear to the wall and seems to know most of how things at The Conclave go down whether people want her to know or not, a concerning fact given that she considers herself one of Princess Anareleia's personal rivals. It is said that she loves playing with secrets and creating childish games at every turn; especially those that spoil others fun. [b]Magic:[/b] Magic is interesting, but also boring. Whilst she has some skill in it she wouldn’t consider herself particularly talented about it. Unsurprisingly she comprehends the “math” and “science” part of magic, but the other components of learning it seem lost to her and she always shows a lack of deep interest within it. [b]Martial:[/b] Lyriel wouldn’t know a spear from a pike or a bastard sword from an arming sword and as such has limited knowledge or affinity with martial studies. [u][b]Stewardship:[/b][/u] Coin is nice, but the study of it is awfully boring as far as Lyriel is concerned and often finds herself in situations alike those with politics and theology with her half or completely asleep during a lesson. This, however, surprisingly has not affected her comprehension of mathematics, logistics, and the study of chemistry— a fact Lyriel’s tutors have spoken of many times to her father. Her potioncrafting is [i]excellent[/i], her memory of what herbs are toxic and not is astute, and her comprehension of math is a talent that her family fears she will put to waste. However, being good with math does not always equate to spending money wisely.[/color][/indent] [color=DBA2C1][sub][ ♚ ] C O M P A N I O N S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]N/A [/color][/indent] [color=DBA2C1][sub][ ♚ ] R E L A T I O N S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]N/A [/color][/indent]
