Her skin is light, possibly paler than others due to the mountainous environment of Espenova and her preference for indoor tutelage but she has been one to go outside so it isn’t simply a complexion born of a recluse. She has irises born of burgundy and her long blue-black hair gives her the impression of a girl of trueborn espenovan descent. In addition to her physical appearance she tends to gravitate towards practicality in her dress thus wears simple yet still elegant gowns of dark colors such as ebony, charcoal, burgundy, mahogany, midnight blue, and ash. These are generally accent by simple silver accessories (sometimes with jewelry enhanced with sapphires or emeralds) such as tiaras, bracelets, lockets, amulets, and rings.[/indent] [sub][b]Background[/b][/sub][hr][indent]Nadalena Kofenstein was born in Ružovec, the largest city in the western demense of the Espenovan Commonwealth as the eldest child of an aging monarch. Nadalena was always a quiet child with few friends and companions; she didn’t care to interact much and instead preferred reading books of various scholars ranging from subject to subject; generally espenovan in origin. These generally gave her a perspective of her cultural and historical heritage that she found fascinating, especially those that were beliefs written about the warring kingdoms era where espenovan were not only at the throats of those in the south, but their brothers and sisters with petty kingdoms plotting to discredit, manipulate, control, and conquer their kinsmen because they felt they could not be trusted; a paranoia that seems to have been injected in the espenovan since their creation. But young Nadalena didn’t see it as delusional cowardice but rather overzealous cautiousness; a trait initiated out of precaution and earnest protection. She found it interesting how by the time the realm survived the warring kingdoms era there were only five espenovan great houses that succeeded: House Kofenstein, House Raksa, House Klasek, House Sárbon, and House Myrtrov; with her house being the most powerful of them all. Her father’s tutelage about how the world would come to exist framed a lot of her theological and political views as well as made her understand that she had to know people to predict them. If she needed to be a master of shadows and murmurs to do so, she would become such. Still, courtesies and manners were not something Nadalena wasn’t educated upon; after all, she was still as much as a princess as she was an espenovan. But beneath all the smiles and fragrances there was an untrusting scowl underneath it all in truth. The words “trust no one, not even your friends” would become concrete upon her mind; especially after experiencing an attempted seizing of power by her father’s own brother when she was ten years old. This would give her the comprehension that humanity was factually changing and it was not simply cynical theories and that anybody could succumb to greed. She watched her uncle’s execution with her own eyes as her father drove his sword into his chest.
