| N A M E |

Julianna Evelyn Hardin.

| N I C K N A M E |

She likes to be called Lady Julia by her peers and that is really the only nickname that she'll accept from anyone.

| A G E |

Twenty-eight.

| G E N D E R |

Female.

| S E X U A L I T Y |

| K I N G D O M |

Julianna is from the Kingdom of Slibah but will one day rule the Kingdom of Abhainn.

| A L L I A N C E |

She will always remain loyal towards her brother's Kingdom, Slibah but when she marries the King of Abhainn, she'll align herself with both Kingdoms.

| A P P E A R A N C E |

With blonde locks of hair falling upon her shoulders and going well past the middle of her back, Julianna is one fair beauty with looks to die for. She stands about five foot seven with a weight of one-hundred and nineteen pounds. She has a petite frame with a few curves here and there and toned muscles. Her emerald green eyes sparkle and shine with a nice tint gleaming off of them. Her eyes are really the first thing most people know about her as they are sometimes just that bright. Julianna has a fairly toned and even skin complexion as she is not too pale. Of course, her wardrobe is filled with different accessorized dresses and gowns most are adorned with the colors of her respective Kingdom of Slibah but she is sure that when she's married, she'll gain colors for the Kingdom of Abhainn. With her looks, she usually uses them to advantage especially whenever she bat her eyelashes.

| H A B I T S |

Faces || While she is the Future Queen of Abhainn, she is definitely the Queen of making faces. She usually makes faces towards people that are annoying and boring her or just because she feels like it. Faces is really Julianna's specialty and for those that truly know her, they often know what her faces mean.

Thinking || Julianna mind is constantly churning with certain ideas and thoughts that ponder well within her mind. You'll know when she is in deep thought as she'll stare into space and remain silent for a long period of time. She will also tap her chin with her index finger whenever she is thinking, as well.

| H O B B I E S |

Traveling || Even though she probably won't be doing much more of this anymore, Julianna will always love traveling to different regions and meeting the people there. It is something that she has always done whenever she was little, standing beside her father, mother and brother.

Reading || Julianna reads whenever she gets the chance to. She likes the peace and quiet that surrounds her whenever she engulfs herself in a good book.

| L I K E S |

Stargazing || She doesn't know what it is about but there is something about the stars at night that makes her satisfied inside as she gazes up to look at them.
Children || While she does not have any of her own, yet, Julianna simply enjoy the company of children. She loves their little faces and smiles that she will sometimes pinch their cheeks. She also love to gift children, as well.
Horseback Riding || Ever since her father taught her how to ride a horse at such a young age, she has always adored riding horseback throughout Slibah and will hopefully enjoy it throughout the Kingdom of Abhainn, as well.
Social Events || For someone that loves to talk, social events are no problem for Julianna. She can talk to just about anyone, even the servants and will literally talk someone's ear off if they'll let her.
Gardens || The aroma, the scenery and just the overall coloration, gardens bring a smile to Julianna's face and she just cannot hide it whenever she is surrounded by the flowers and bushes.

| D I S L I K E S |

Liars || Julianna is not quite fond of people that lie to her or to people she care about. But if someone lies to her, they will have to suffer the consequences.
Vulnerability || She hates it when she seems vulnerable in front of people. Julianna will try her best to stand tall and make herself look strong if she feels herself growing vulnerable.
Tardiness || Julianna does not like it when she is late or someone else is late for whatever reason. She sometimes grow a bit impatient whenever she knows that she is going to be late somewhere or for some event.
Her brother || While this person does not belong on her dislike list, in this very moment, she does not like him at all. Julianna is being traded to a King that she barely knows just to restore peace between the Kingdoms, which is a deal that was made by her brother.
Manipulation || She hates it when she feels like whoever she is speaking with is trying to manipulate her with their enticing words. Julianna doesn't like it when others are being manipulated either.

| F E A R S |

Losing anyone she cares for || She will truly hate it if she lost anyone she cares for ranging from her brother, her family or just about anyone else that she truly cares for.
War || As she feels that she is the chess piece within the game, she fears that if the marriage doesn't fall through that yet another war will take place between the Kingdoms. Julianna hopes that a war will not happen though.

| P E R S O N A L I T Y |

_{♦ Strong ♦ Quick Witted ♦ Overprotective ♦ Adventurous ♦}

While many people think that Julianna's personality isn't fit for a princess or better yet, a queen, she has proven many people wrong time and time again. Julianna is a very strong willed person, not giving up on anyone too easily and always standing her ground whenever necessary and whenever she needs to. She does not care who the person is but she will definitely stand up against anyone, even a Lord or a King and not even think about the consequences that may seem to follow. Ever since she could remember, she has always loved to travel and she became more than adventurous through her journeys from Slibah.

If someone was to mess with anyone that she cares for, she will most likely become your worse nightmare and no one wants to see that. Julianna is very protective over her family and just about anyone that is close to her, as well. She doesn't hesitate to show her people that she cares for them deeply and even treats them as if they were her own children, which she does not have any of yet. Julianna doesn't like showing her mean side but if a person steps the wrong way towards her or her people, she will not be so loving. Julianna isn't one to beat around the bush with anyone. She will say whatever she needs to say and will not hold back anything when it comes to words. Though she knows her boundaries and respect level when it comes to certain people.

King Maddox Auclair of Abhainn

King Maddox Auclair

_{{ "No treaty will eclipse the obligation I have to my ancestors and to my people." }}

---

---

| Name |

Maddox Kirc Auclair

| Nickname |

Close companions, and his father especially, took to calling him "Madd" as a boy, and the nickname has stuck. However, the importance of his title usually trumps all nicknames now.

| Age |

Twenty-nine

| Gender |

Male

| Sexuality |

Bisexual

| Kingdom |

Abhainn

| Alliance |

His loyalty is to the Kingdom of Abhainn and, more importantly, himself.

| In Depth Appearance |

Maddox has an appearance that, at the very least, can be described as quite average. He stands around six feet, one inch and weighs something like one hundred and seventy pounds. He is well-built, toned from years of swordplay and hunting. He has light hair, kept short, and dazzling blue eyes that crinkle whenever he smiles. Maddox often keeps his chin and cheeks slightly stubbled, and he has been known to let a slight beard grow on his chin and along his jawline. He has very few scars, having never seen a real battle, but he does bear a light scar along his left cheek from a blade that went astray. As his role requires, he dresses well in dark shades of reds and purples, colors that symbolize royalty.

| Habits |

Taps Feet || As a notoriously restless man, Maddox often taps his foot or bounces his leg as a means of subconsciously conveying his boredom to those assembled.
Deep Thought || Maddox is known for his intense expressions of thought including furrowing his brow, chewing on the inside of his cheek, and running his hand along his chin.

| Hobbies |

Sparring || He is often found sparring in the courtyard to improve his swordsmanship, though he is often to easily frustrated to be much good.
Riding || When swordplay grows tedious, he will escape the castle to ride through the forests or hunt.
Games of Strategy || If the weather is poor, he can often be found playing out hypothetical battles on his war table.

| Likes |

Adventure || Maddox likes to be out and about, always looking to do something new and push himself.
Knowledge || Though he often has little time for sitting about and reading, Maddox does love to know as much as he can, increasing his repertoire.
Dogs || He has loved his hounds since childhood and often takes them out when he rides, believing them to be more loyal than any man or woman.
Power || Maddox craves power, and when he has it, he clings on to it desperately, afraid it may be taken from him at any moment.
Ale & Wine || Though not yet a drunkard, Maddox is certainly on his way towards such a fate given the amount of alcohol he consumes. In recent years, having taken the throne, he has begun to limit his consumption so that he may rule more effectively.
Music || One of his lesser known passions is music, though he has never been much good at performing. However, he does love to listen to it especially to unwind.

| Dislikes |

Being Wrong || Nothing spoils Maddox's day like being shown he is incorrect.
Boredom || He grows restless when he has no outlet for his energy, and it often fouls his mood.
Arrogance || Though it is quite hypocritical of him to say, Maddox detests those who think of themselves as better than others.
Defeat || He detests any instance in which he comes out the "loser". He quickly grows angry afterwards, acting rashly in response.
Having His Choices Made for Him || He still retains distaste for his father for arranging his marriage and ending the war. Spoiled as he is, he hates when he has no say in important matters.
Insubordination || Disrespect is guaranteed to cause Maddox's blood to boil, as he feels his rank entitles him to unquestioned loyalty from his subjects.

| Fears |

Death || Maddox's greatest fear is death. He hopes to prove himself as a capable leader, but he worries that an early death in anything but battle will cause him to go down in history as a weak king.
Cats || He has a very intense fear of cats, for his mother had one than often lashed out at him as a boy.
Open Water || Having never learned to swim, Maddox fears lakes and oceans and the fact that he could drown.

| Personality |

Maddox is a man who has grown up wanting very little in his entire life except the approval of his mother and father. He comes off as spoiled and bratty, which certainly isn't wrong. He often acts will little regard for the consequences of his actions, even though if he thought his choice through more carefully, he certainly would be more capable of better decisions. Maddox is quick to anger, and he releases his anger verbally with hardly any filter.

It is a shame, for Maddox certainly would have an intelligence to rival any opponent if only he were to tame his anger. He is also quite immature, which does not help his thought process. Maddox views war as nothing more than a large game with high stakes. He is a risk taker through and through.

Still, Maddox is well-spoken from years of being tutored to take over Abhainn. He knows much in the ways of the history of the two kingdoms. He craves a challenge in every day life, though he certainly still grows frustrated with any opponent, animate or not, that he can not overcome. His ambition is startling, for when he is knocked down, he comes back stronger and more determined than before.

| Background |

Scandal has followed Maddox as long as he has known life. He was born to King Frederick the Sixth by a mistress, though attempts were made to pass the boy off as the Queen's true born son. These lies lasted very briefly, for it was quite common knowledge that Frederick's wife was infertile, unable to provide him the heir he needed to continue the line of royalty in Abhainn. While his "mother" never grew to accept the bastard child, Maddox received Frederick's full attention. As such, he was spoiled despite his father's efforts to instill leadership and wisdom in the boy. As Maddox grew up in a war-ravaged country, he became fascinated with the conflict. Often, returning knights would find him running after their horses, begging for a report of the situation.

His father urged the boy to focus his passion into his studies, and though Maddox was reluctant at first, he eventually grew to love studying history, the tales of soldiers and their kings who fought valiantly for Abhainn. Maddox was in his teens when his father announced the plans for the treaty that would end the war and unite the kingdoms through marriage. The boy shut down, growing distant and gloomy as his past time was snatched out from under him.

Maddox channeled his frustration into drinking and sleeping around. Perhaps his apathy was what drove Frederick to the grave when Maddox was twenty-four. He was coronated shortly after, ascending to his father's throne as he had been expected to do since infancy. In recent years, he has certainly grown more lively and interested in his studies, perhaps preparing himself for something greater.

"She's more personable than her husband, thankfully."
He knows very little of the Queen except for that she is certainly much easier to get along with than her husband. She seems easy enough to get along with, but he doesn't imagine he could hold a conversation with someone of a personality as bold as hers without feeling intimidated.

Maddox's love for Alice is purely platonic. He trusts her more than just about anyone else, and she often accompanies him on outings or in the war room. He knows nothing of her romantic love for him, blinded instead by their lifelong friendship. She is the first he contacts when in need of advice.

Prince Jaxton of Sliabh

Prince Jaxton of Sliabh

_{{ "I don't get how we can't just let go of our past. Shouldn't we have already learned that war brings nothing but destruction?" }}

---

---

| Name |

Jaxton James Hardin of Sliabh

| Nickname |

Jax, to friends. James, to family.

| Age |

17

| Gender |

Male

| Sexuality |

Asexual

| Kingdom |

Sliabh

| Alliance |

Jaxton sides with Sliabh, as it is his kingdom - and most of all his family. However, this doesn't mean that he is closed off to the idea of the two kingdoms being in an alliance - in fact, he welcomes it and will do nearly anything to keep the peace between the kingdoms.

| In Depth Appearance |

Jaxton stands at a height of 5'9" and he's still growing. He weighs rather averagely but he does have a conditioned body thanks to training daily for self-defense. He stands up properly, of course, and exudes an aura of confidence - just like what any royal should be. He has brown, curly hair and dark brown eyes that usually sparkles with a certain hint of mischievousness every now and then.

He tends to wear anything that is laid out for him. He doesn't mind if he has to weary stuffy royal suits or just simple silken clothing. In fact, Jaxton is kind of curious about commoner clothing as well but knows that his parents would never allow him to wear something like that in public. He seems to like simple clothing though whenever he does have a choice and doesn't have to keep up appearances. He wears a silver pendant around his neck that he personally had made.

| Habits |

• Jaxton tends to rub his pendant whenever he begins to become uncomfortable in a discussion.
• He taps his leg whenever he becomes anxious, especially if he becomes impatient about something.
• Jaxton's eyes tend to wander whenever he talks to someone - from the area surrounding them to the person themselves. He seems to avoid eye contact as much as possible.
• He tends to ramble when he gets too excited.

| Hobbies |

• Swordsmanship
• Jogging
• Singing
• Horseback Riding

| Likes |

• Sword fighting
• Physical Activities
• His family
• Relative Peace
• Interacting with people
• Having fun

| Dislikes |

• The idea that he has to rule someday
• Fighting
• War
• People getting hurt
• Being lonely

| Fears |

• He's scared of losing any of his family. If not their lives then he's afraid of them losing their trust in him.
• He fears that the relationship will continually devolve and end up in another war.
• He's an insecure person thanks to advisors tending to talk about him negatively as a royal so he fears that he will never be up to the expectations of the people around him.

---

---

| Personality |

Jaxton is a kind and caring person, especially towards his family. There are little things he wouldn't do for his family - especially to his sister whom he cares for very much. Even so, he's a very opinionated man and isn't afraid to speak what is in his mind even if it would end up with him being in trouble. Since he's the kind of person who actually wants everyone to get along since he fears another war is coming, one can easily see how being opinionated and fearless can be troubling. However, this doesn't seem to bother Jaxton at all as whenever anyone would blow up at him, thinking that he had his head in the clouds, he would just go to run or train so that he can keep his cool. When he finds himself in disagreements with his family, he would often just shut up about it. However, it's assured that he would bring it up soon after.

He goes a mile and an extra for the people around him. He's selfless, to a fault. Jaxton rarely thinks about himself. He thinks that the ideal king is someone who thinks about his people first before his own personal needs. While this does seem to be a great mindset, the world isn't as black and white as he thinks it is. He is aware of this but he delusions himself that the world is a better place than it really is. Honestly, it only makes it all the more obvious that he isn't ready to rule. There has been talk around that the crown would actually go to his sister, but he has been trying his best to appeal to everyone so that he will gain their favor. It's not that he wishes for the crown so much, but because his sister simply doesn't want to become the monarch herself.

He usually is a calm person and very hard to anger because he's such an optimistic lad. However, when he does become angry, he really does lose everything and he flies off the handle. Jaxton usually regrets it afterwards and tries to apologize, but what he has said cannot be taken back so easily. He tries to be as trusting as possible, but he finds that he is starting to lose the ability to trust anyone aside from his family. It saddens him greatly to think that he is falling into the cynical world which he finds horrible because it simply means that he can't change anything.

| Background |

Jaxton was the firstborn of the current king and queen of Sliabh. This came with a lot of responsibilities - more than he wanted. He was taught etiquette and politics from a young age. History was one of his strongest suits when it came to his private tutoring and he knew well the effects of the war that was brought upon by their ancestors. This was the reason why he feels so strongly about the alliance. This was when he started to like the idea of actually being allied to Abhainn. While it was all well and good at first, as he only had the best intentions in mind, it soon became obvious that he fails in a lot of aspects in being a king. First and foremost, while he is open-minded, he doesn't seem to think up of solutions to problems quickly. He's rather indecisive, especially when it is an urgent matter - among many things. This was what led to most of the advisors to the royal family to think that maybe he wasn't fit for the crown, no matter how hard he tried to prove himself.

In the process of him growing up, Jaxton had tried his best to live up to the expectations of his parents and everyone else around him. However, he found other interests in life aside from becoming the king and ruling. He found admiration in swordsmanship, which he now trains daily in. When he wants to be alone, he usually takes his horse and rides off to another part of the land just to get away from everyone else. He has met countless people in his escapades, usually people who tend to wander around. He's made friends with these commoners but he never told anyone that he has come into contact with anyone else while he was out. He knew that he would get in trouble because of his carelessness, but hearing their subject's voices had always been a pleasure to him.

Relationship Chart

Prince Jaxton of Sliabh

T H E K I N G S

M A D D O X . A U C L A I R
"I haven't had the chance to actually meet him before. I just hope he's good for Aunt Julianna."

Jaxton never met King Maddox before, so he doesn't have much of an opinion on him. He's hoping that he would actually be nice enough to actually respect the treaty that was proposed before the death of the previous king of Abhainn.

A L I S T E R . H A R D I N
"Ah yes, father. I love him and all that, but we don't talk very much."

Jaxton and Alister have a very rocky relationship. Because of Alister's lack of communication skills when it comes to his feelings, Jaxton never found the comfort in him as he does with his mother. Jaxton respects him, of course, and is rather afraid of the thought that Alister is disappointed in him because of he falls behind on some parts of being a king. Jaxton rarely approached his father to talk about personal things and is rather nervous whenever he does. He hopes to be closer to his father but is having a hard to on deciding how to approach him and what he has to talk about. Because of worries of how his father would react, he never got around to actually revealing what he felt whenever talk about being king was raised.

T H E Q U E E N S

J U L I A N N A . H A R D I N
"I respect her very much. I looked up to her ever since I was a child - because of her strong will. She even took me horseback riding every once in a while... at the expense of being reprimanded afterwards."

To say that their relationship was close would be correct. It wasn't much of a wonder why he would be closer to her than the king, her brother. Jaxton used to almost always be around her if he wasn't seen in lessons or with his sister. When he was young, he admired almost every part of her and picked up on her strong will and being opinionated. This mixed with her taking him out to travel every once in a while built their relationship and caused Jaxton to have mixed feelings about the marriage since he wouldn't be seeing her again. Nevertheless, he simply hoped that she would live a happy life as Queen of Abhainn.

M I R A B E L L E . H A R D I N
"Mother has treated me nicely ever since I was a child. We get along rather well, but she does get angry whenever I speak out of line or when I start to fidget. Ugh, I still remember how hard she smacks my hands..."

The two share a bond that is distinctly different from his father. Jaxton would always end up going to her when he has some good or bad news, or when he has some sort of story to tell. She's still aiding him when it comes to his subjects since he still has quite a lot to learn - as evidenced by the lack of trusts advisers put on him when it comes to handing the crown to him in the future.

T H E P R I N C E S

L U C I A N . A U C L A I R
"Unfortunately, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him. I head he's around my age so I hope we can be friends. For the future as well..."

As shown, the two never really met before. Other than the fact that he is King Maddox's younger brother and somewhere around his age, Jaxton doesn't know anything about him. He's sure to treat him with proper respect for royalty but hopes to build a friendship with him eventually.

T H E P R I N C E S S E S

E L A I S S E . H A R D I N
"Ela's my little sister and I'd be damned if an older brother never sought to protect their little sister. I'm worried about her willingness to follow any order until she finally catches on that it's something bad, but... I just hope she'll be fine."

Jaxton spends most of his time with Elaisse whenever he's out of lessons - especially with Julianna leaving the kingdom to be wed to King Maddox. He usually hangs around her to act like some sort of bodyguard when it comes to social gatherings as he knows that his sister has some fear of crowds so he steps up to take the brunt of the socialization until she's comfortable enough. He also fights for the crown because he doesn't want Elaisse getting it because of his incompetence. While he wants nothing more than freedom from the crown, he doesn't want his sister to suffer because of it. She's the first person he would go to when he has something to tell - especially if it is a problem.

T H E L O R D S

G O D D A R D . A M B E R L I N
"I can't say I know much about him..."

He's seen very little of Amberlin as his father would be the one to actually interact with him, and even those were rare since he's from Abhainn. He doesn't know much about the guy so he doesn't know what to think of him yet.

----

A E D A N . M E R R Y N
"He's my mentor in the way of the sword and has put up with me ever since I was a kid."

Aedan, being a warrior in the front lines, always fascinated Jaxton. When he comes back from a war, Jaxton would always somehow find him and then press him to tell stories. While Aedan tells his stories willingly, he always made sure that Jaxton would never wish for a war to befall the land again - a lesson he keeps close to his heart. Aedan teaches him how to fight with a sword properly just in case something bad happens. Jaxton would never admit it, but he saw Aedan as more of a father figure than his own father, a thought that always bothered Jaxton.

T H E L A D I E S

A M A R A N T H E A . A S H W O O D
"I was pretty sad when she left. A beautiful girl with an equally kind heart, she was always there for my aunt. I'm really looking forward to seeing her again."

While most of their interactions simply came upon because of how close Jaxton was to Julianna, they seem to still be rather close. They were always in a trio, as Amaranthea had the job of being her handmaiden. While not really that close in age and perhaps only brought upon because of her being nice to him almost all of the time, he's developed quite a bit of a crush on her. The feelings quickly left him when she and her family moved to Abhainn because of certain problems. The fact that they would be finally be visiting Abhainn brought hope to Jaxton that he would be able to catch up with her, seeing as it had been years since their last encounter.

A L I C E . A L L A I R E
"Uh? Who?"

Since Alice's identity as the Abhainn Battle-Maiden has been covered up, he doesn't know that it is her. While she was an enemy to the kingdom, he's grown to respect her skill with the sword and has always wanted to meet her - especially because it was a time of a peace. Surely, when they would meet and he found out that her identity was being covered up because of how it was a 'disgrace' to have a female in the war council, he would definitely voice out how stupid the idea was. For she was a girl with skill, and that should not be hidden because she is a 'woman of the noble court'.

| Personality |

Growing up in a royal family. Lucian is somewhat spoilt, like his elder brother Maddox. But maybe, doesn't brag as much about the family riches. He likes, the wealth, and all that comes along with it. Lucian is quite stubborn. If he wants something. He goes after it. But tends to hold his temper, within him. He can hold it back, for quite a long time. And when he explodes...he takes it out physically, rather than verbally. And he finds...Sports, is a great way to release his anger and agitation.

He's quite the charmer and flirt among ladies. Being young, he has the attention of many young ladies across the Court and Kingdom. Whilst he flirts, he means no harm. But hopes to settle down one day, with a girl that can handle him.

But he's rather intelligent and perhaps more mature, than his big brother. He has taken a liking to his lessons over the years. The only thing, he did not like very much was dance. But over the years, he has grown quite fond of it, and is rather good dancer.

| Background|

His History, is perhaps no more different than that of his big brother. He too, was born to the King Frederick the Sixth by a Mistress. Though, unlike his elder brother. No attempts, were made to pass him off as the legitimate son to the Queen of Abhainn. People knew the King's ways, and that the Queen bore no children to the King. Despite that, Lucian was still named Prince of Abhainn.

Grown to be loved by his people, even by the Queen. Growing up, Lucian disliked being the youngest. Somehow, he always want to grow up, and skip over the trouble teen years so to speak. Even though, he looked up to his elder brother, for being future King. He was also slightly jealous at that fact. The idea of being King, excited him. But he's not really ready, and fears that if something were to happen to Maddox...he's take over. Unprepared for such an event.

Just like any siblings, there's been slight rivalry/tension between the two boys. But Lucian never caused scandals by sleeping around like Maddox. Even after all of that,Lucian still stands by his brother, and is loyal to him and their Kingdom. Family love above all. That's always his Motto. Although at first, he's not very excited about the arrival of the New Kingdom, he grows friendlier towards Sliabh eventually. But there's always a little bit of caution and worry, that's bugging him about the alliance and the war.

T H E L O R D S

G O D D A R D . A M B E R L I N
"Mhh, Can't say I like him that much. But he still has my respect."
Lucian has somewhat mixed feelings and view about Lord Amberlin. Maybe it's because of the man's conniving skills and ambitions to be better than most, that puts Lucian off ever so slightly. But still the Prince, respects the elder Noble and admires his skills in the battle field, for a man of his age.

A E D A N . M E R R Y N
"I am not sure, if the name is supposed to be familiar to me."
Whilst Lucian, does not know much about Aedan. The young Prince, isn't really sure what to think of someone, he's not yet met.

A L I C E . A L L A I R E
"She's a Warrior Goddess. My Inspiration and one of my closest friends."
Lucian had always admired Lady Alice, from afar and even from close up. Secretly, Lucian had been somewhat crushing on Lady Alice, from a young age. Despite the age difference. He admires her beauty, her courage and strength as a female warrior in his brother's Army. She's one of the best fighters, he had known and seen. Over his young years, she had always been there to reprimand him, for his mistakes. But the pair have always trusted each other and been close. She's currently training him in combat and Swordsmanship. And he couldn't ask for a better trainer, than her. Lucian also considers her a dear-friend.

E V A N G E L I N E . F A R T H I N G
"Another Lady in waiting, I see."
Evangeline is not someone, that Lucian has met personally. From his few conversations with Amara; he's heard a few nice things about the Lady. But only time, will tell what he'll think off her, when they finally meet.

| Kingdom |

Abhainn

| Alliance |

Amberlin is loyal to his family, and those he presides over. He has also sworn fealty to the King of Abhainn.

| In Depth Appearance |

Amberlin certainly thinks himself a looker, being particularly fond of his brown, curled mane and square jaw; he is adorned with many nicks and scars accumulated over his military service, though nothing much larger than a finger's breadth. His top lip and chin are host to a rather cavalier, if crudely-maintained Vandyke beard, owing more to genetics than style. He stands at an average height, no more than 5 foot 11 inches and has an athletic build. His pallid skin is rough to touch yet carries fewer wrinkles than to suggest his age.

With his increased status, he has taken to wearing finer clothing than his usual military attire. Usually he will be draped in dark clothing.

| Personality |

Amberlin is a product of a prosperous family and has a suitably ambitious streak, not content unless he is progressing in some way, whether that be financially, in status or in skill. He is conniving and resourceful and has used these traits to better his standing. Years of military service have crafted the man into a straightforward and precise individual, ready to lead a charge. It is here that he first experienced the joys of leadership, serving as captain of the guard for a score of years before pledging his fealty fully to the king as his Lord. As an older man, he has grown cautious and careful, eager not to waste his life on a battlefield. Time has not softened his ability, however, and is more than capable at handling himself. His tongue is kept as sharp as his blades, and he has a love of wit.

He takes immense pride in the successes of his children, and the extension of his lineage through them. He hopes to pass his duties on to his eldest son and namesake, Goddard, when he is no longer able to carry them out himself. His pride even extends to his second son, Wybert who he had initially opposed joining the clergy. He is enjoying taking a more active role in his youngest son, Brom's rearing and education.

Driving him is a need to be recognised for his accomplishments and to be rewarded. He is prepared to do anything to maintain his status.

| Background |

The family Amberlin is one of the longest established and notably prosperous in Abhainn's history, producing many able soldiers and landholders. As payment for generations of service, Wyot Amberlin was bestowed the title of Lord from King Fredrick VI and given stewardship over the manor and surrounding community of Yaramir.

By this time his son Goddard had progressed to the position of captain of the Abhainn guard, following twelve years of service. It was during this prior service that he had met his wife, Jocosa, daughter of a wealthy milliner, with whom he would go on to have four children. His career was marked by success and promotion, aided by his father's increasing standing amongst the court of the King. Up until his father's death, still well into the war, he served the King as captain. Numerous attempts to breach the capital were thwarted by men under his command and when the time came, lordship of Yaramir eventually passed to Goddard. He has sworn fealty to two monarchs as vassal: Fredrick and his heir. Commanding the soldiers under his charge as Lord of Yaramir, he continued to aid the war effort up until its close.

In the relative peace the talk of treaties has afforded him, he has begun adjusting to his role as Lord, and as a father. His ambition will inform his moves that follow.

Persons of interest:

Jocosa Amberlin: Wife and mother to his four children, aged 39.
Goddard Amberlin (II): His eldest son, aged 21. Serving as a member of the Abhainn guard. It is his father's hope that he will one day take up the role of captain.
Wybert Amberlin: His middle son, aged 20. He is on track to become a priest, despite his father's initial protests. Goddard has since reconciled this betrayal and supports him in his efforts.
Branwen Amberlin: His only daughter, aged 18. She is soon to be wed, something she is less than pleased about. It is her desire to take an active role in the military, in part due to the stories of Lady Alice the Shield-Maiden her father had shared with her. He has since regretted this, and cited the Lady's removal from the war effort whenever Branwen mentions joining the guard.
Brom Amberlin: His youngest child, aged 8.
Lady Alice Allaire: Amberlin and Lady Alice worked together primarily during strategic meetings, due to their positions in the military, and grew to begrudgingly respect each other. When the time came that the other war officers attempted remove her from her role as strategist, he didn't voice his concerns or attempt to prevent it, something that Lady Alice has not forgotten.

| Personality |

Elaisse is softly spoken, often more in the background than at the forefront of any conversation. She prefers the company of only a few people and struggles with larger groups – which can be difficult considering her status. Though shy Elaisse is quite friendly and finds it quite easy to get along with people. This is maybe partly down to how easy-going and agreeable she is. Even though she can struggle to talk in certain situations Ela always tries to be polite.

When she is in her element Elaisse will open up a bit. Though mature for her age of fifteen she is bright and cheerful when doing the things she enjoys more. When with family or others she knows well she is quite animate, finding it easier to talk. She is emotional and struggles to not let her feelings show even when it would be better to hide them.

As a Princess, Ela doesn’t exactly act spoiled – however she is definitely naïve. She knows very little of the life outside her own. What she does know is from the books she loves to bury herself in. While smart she is also quite innocent which means it is quite easy to take advantage of her. However, she is quick to learn. She is also very far from ambitious. If anything Ela is the opposite; she will follow those that she is loyal to without questioning it. She doesn’t have much will of her own out with of a wish to live a peaceful life. Though she is slowly beginning to grow more confident with the thought of voicing her own opinions as opposed to being entirely passive.

| Background |

The daughter of the current King and Queen of Slibah, Elaisse grew up want for nothing. Her life so far has been an easy one. She spent her time devoutly studying to be a Princess, and future wife of some noble. She picked up most things easily enough, not minding needlework or music. Some others she struggled with, such as dancing. Even as a younger child she enjoyed sketching, using a quill and ink to draw some kind of random design – quite often around letters.

Ela never spent much time with other people, outside of her family - especially her brother who takes up most of her social interaction. Out with of the required social gatherings she tended to keep more to herself. As a result she managed to avoid most kinds of gossip and scandal. She is unlikely to get involved in anything romantic until marriage even though she has liked one or two people a round the castle (she just never wants to act on it).

Not much has happened in her fifteen years of life, sheltered as she was from the war and other happenings. It is not something she is particularly looking to change anytime soon.

Princess Elaisse Hardin

T H E K I N G S

M A D D O X . A U C L A I R
"Hopefully he will be a good husband to my Aunt."
Elaisse has never met King Maddox, so she knows only of him from what she has been told and doesn't have much of an opinion.

A L I S T E R . H A R D I N
"Father can be difficult to talk to sometimes, but I do enjoy spending time with him. He is also very good at art!"
While Elaisse and Alister are not the closest, she certainly gets on with him better than her brother does. This probably comes from the fact that they are quite similar in some ways - both having quite an intense dislike of crowds (though Elaisse is unable to put on a front like he does). It helps that Ela is quite passive and unlikely to take much offence from any of his harsh statements. While she certainly wouldn't go to him with many personal problems she does take her drawings to her father and asks for advice on those.

"Aunt Julianna is really easy to get along with. I enjoy spending time with her, but she can be very overwhelming. I just don't like socialising as much as she does."
Elaisse gets on well with her aunt and does spend some time with her, though mostly when Jaxton is there too. They share some similarities - Ela enjoys spending time in the gardens with her sometimes or just reading in each others company. However finds that Julianna can be a bit too intense for her sometimes, talking and socialising a bit too much. Even though they are quite different people Elaisse still likes her aunt, just needs breaks when spending time with her.

M I R A B E L L E . H A R D I N
"I love mother and she's always given me everything I could want. It would be nice if she understood that I don't really want to be in charge of anything, though. And she can be so fussy about how I look!"
As much as it may not always seem it Elaisse does get on well with Mira. They have a good relationship, even if her mother is one of the few people Ela would actually considering arguing with. Most arguments are over petty things, however, like how the younger girl looks and lessons. Ela can't always be as perfect as her mother wants to and she struggles with that sometimes - she finds it difficult to live up to her expectations. Still, she knows that her mother will always be there for her and goes to her with a lot of her problems.

"Jax is definitely the person that I'm closest to. He's the best big brother I could ask for, though I wish he wasn't so much taller than I am..."
Ela is very close to her brother. She spends a lot of time with him outside of lessons, sometimes escaping somewhere away from the court or just finding somewhere quiet within the castle. Since she doesn't talk to many others he is definitely the person she is closest too. She is very thankful for him being there whenever at social gatherings and will always stick with him at those kinds of things. She also knows that he is trying to gain approval so that the crown does not fall to her, something that she does feel guilty for even though she knows she would not be suited to it. Ela confides almost everything in Jaxton and will always go to him with her problems, even before her parents.

"I really don't know anything about him since we've never met."
Elaisse has never met Lucian and knows little more than the fact that he is the younger brother of King Maddox. He is relatively close to her age, at least more so than most, but she doesn't know if they will get along. She hopes so.

"I prefer him to most other nobles I know, but we hardly ever talk. At least he supports my brother."
Elaisse doesn't have much of a relationship with Aedan - she respects him, both for where he comes from and his skill. She also likes that he's taken up a mentor role for Jaxton unlike many others within the court who just talk about how unfit to rule he is. However the actual contact they have with each other is minimal.

Elaisse did spend some time with Amaranthea when she was younger and the lady in waiting was still in Sliabh. However she doesn't have particularly strong memories of this time for she was very young. She remembers Amara's kindness and that she was comfortable in her presence but not much more. She is sure it will be nice to meet her again, however.

Lady Alice of Abhainn

---

---

_{{ ”The only time one can possess bravery is when one is afraid.” }}

---

---

| Name |

Lady Alice Allaire of Abhainn

| Nickname |

Ali - More commonly used by her bed-ridden father
Abhainn's Battle-Maiden - A title given to her by the people, successfully protected, whom witnessed her valor in battle

| Age |

30

| Gender |

Female

| Sexuality |

Heterosexual

| Kingdom |

Abhainn

| Alliance |

Alice puts her efforts and her loyalty to King Maddox of Abhainn, being quite fond of him and growing up to admire him. Though she was only able to become good friends with him, she has a lingering physical and emotional attraction towards him since her childhood. Alice associates herself with all those that follow him, but resents those that go against him or turn their back on him. She has a love for Abhainn and takes pride in her heritage, doing her utmost best to provide care and protection to all the people.

| In Depth Appearance |

Alice is broad, containing masculine features, but still having a curvy, feminine figure. She is tall, standing at 5'10 with long, thick hair showing different shades of blonde through each straggly strand. With fair skin and a clear complexion, her expression is generally the same regardless of what she's feeling, showing little to no emotion through her face. Her mannerisms, on the other hand, are different depending on the situation. A ball calls for noble and feminine mannerisms, delicate and elegant, while the battlefield calls for more barbaric mannerisms. Being a participant in fair amount of battles, Alice is marked with scars on various parts of her body. None of them show any great damage, the majority of them being mere cuts from a blade. She has a small scar along her cheek that is incredibly subtle and often covered with makeup.

Alice's attire ranges from plate armor to beautiful gowns, having a very diverse wardrobe. Neither of which she favors more than her regular townswoman clothes that she'll wear whenever the situation calls for it. Although, being a lady in court requires a very presentable look, calling for noble gowns regardless of the discomfort, and thus leaving her favored outfit unworn. Alice's makeup fluctuates from heavy to light, depending on her mood. Her version of heavy only consists of heavier eye makeup opposed to the overly-powdered face makeup that many noble woman fashion.

| Habits |

• Restlessness || Alice will begin to shake her leg when she's sitting or rub her hands together. This is a cause from having too much energy or simply being impatient. Although she's a noble lady, her very active roots can only be suppressed for so long.
• Humming || Alice will hum when facing boredom or performing tedious tasks to try to make the situation better.

| Hobbies |

• Swordsmanship || Alice has strong enjoyment in the art of swordsmanship, being a very useful asset to the battlefield.
• Tactics and Strategy || Alice enjoys strategizing battle tactics and war plans, but she doesn't exercise this hobby very often anymore since her coming as a noble lady.
• Painting || Alice has a big hobby on painting, especially since it's relaxing and she doesn't partake in battle as often as she used to. Something about the similarity of the brush and blade satisfies her desire for combat.

| Personality |

Generous ✯ Opinionated ✯ Protective ✯ Brave

Alice is a strong-willed, fearless, opinionated, and demanding individual, usually expressing respect only when she's respected. She is a big dweller of the past and holds grudges over people, choosing to not forget the faces of her enemies, especially those that cross her or humiliate her. Alice will relive moments in which she's embarrassed, humiliated, powerless, or weak and turn it into anger, resulting in a strong desire to get revenge on those that cause such feelings. Along the lines of remembering actions of rage, she also remembers acts of generosity and makes it certain that she expresses her gratitude properly. Alice is also an incredibly sore loser when it comes to certain situations such as losing a bet, failing to learn or understand something, or being one-uped.

Alice is also very defensive of those that she cares about, sometimes going to extents of making great sacrifices for the safety of an individual. While Alice does have a very hard-headed nature, she is a very generous person, enjoying the feeling of giving to those in need and being honored for it in return. Being a protector to the people of Abhainn, she shows no fear to a threatening enemy, regardless of their stature. She holds a different kind of respect for those that are beneath her than those that are of or above her level, or rank, being kinder to those that are lower and being more stern with those that are equal or better.

| Background |

Alice grew up as the daughter of Abhainn's military strategist. Her mother, being a fair lady of the kingdom attempted to raise her as a typical lady of court. With much failure, Alice walked in the footsteps of her father for as long as she could. Being a kid, the freedom to become who you want was granted and encouraged, but taken away once the child reached a primitive age in which it was required for the child to become who they're born to be. For Alice, that was a lady of a royal court, in which she never fit well as. It was strange for a girl child to be so fascinated with war and military politics, but Alice proved to many that she was different in this aspect.

It would be safe to assume that Alice's only interest was the work of her father, but her child-like nature would find it's way out and the enjoyment of other children was much appreciated. Although, one in particular was always enjoyed more than others. The Prince Maddox, charming and handsome to Alice ever since she laid eyes on him, the one boy that would make Alice feel as if she were a normal girl. It wasn't just his appearance and his mannerisms that would draw Alice in, but the respect that he had was something to admire, especially with how awkward and different Alice was. She did everything in her power to be near to him, but there came a time in which, not just them, but all children were required to grow up to become the succeeding generation of noble men and woman. Alice would sneak out to see him sometimes, not to fancy him or seduce him, but to enjoy his company and laugh as if they were still children.

Aside from love interests, growing up for Alice involved the hilt of a blade in one hand and the handle of a buckler in the other, her loving father unable to take this strange hobby from her. This hobby became stronger which eventually turned into a dream to become the next military strategist for Abhainn, regardless of the gender boundaries that morality brought. At this point, Alice had no interest in learning the mannerisms of becoming a lady, but as soon as she began her teenage years, her lack of knowledge for proper woman etiquette became apparent and disrespectful. Thus, she was limited to the war room and was forced to wear the uncomfortable dresses that she loathed. Alice longed for the day that she could go back to her old ways, struggling to learn the many skills a noble woman possessed, but those childhood days were over and a new type of strict training was presented.

During Alice's late teenage years, she was back in the war room and only eying the coming King Maddox from a distance. It wasn't long before her father became ill and the war officers were in distress to find a replacement. As many heroic tales would go, Alice would be the assumed successor for the role, but the sexism that existed strongly in this era casted that dream aside, though she was still welcomed to the table for strategic input. Instead of one person making the calls, it worked more like a democracy where the war officers voted on what actions were best, but Alice's talent with strategy became incredibly useful and her persuading words often lead to the better decisions, resulting in many victories. During these years, Alice finally partook in battle and even lead a legion of men once she became comfortable with the harshness of war and killing. It was kept quiet among the nobles since her victorious actions and her incredible battle prowess were seen as unladylike, but the rumors of the people spread and now it remains unknown whether Alice was the true battle-maiden that the people praised.

As of late, Alice is cooped up in the kingdom since a new military general was welcomed into the war room and Alice was ruled out of the military. It was a rough time being casted away from something she was so successful at, but she now tries to enjoy the noble life. The only positive part of becoming a full-time noblewoman is being closer to King Maddox, a childhood love interest whom still holds Alice's heart. Her beautifully crafted battle equipment lays unused in the corner of her chambers, and the noble gowns that were carefully sewn are now making an appearance. With a change in lifestyle, Alice hopes to find balance and enjoyment in whatever it is that she should become.

| Extra |

Alice commonly dreams of the future, wondering what kind of advances would happen hundreds of years down the line. Hopefully a better form of travel than horses...

Alice's father is still alive, but bed-ridden from a terminal illness.

"I will always stand at the side of my King, readily available for whatever task he commands of me, capable or not."

Love interest, trusted friend, her King, childhood companion || Alice has a strong love interest in King Maddox, spawning from countless, friendly interactions from their childhood days and from spending a great deal of time around the royal family, both then and now. Alice extends a hand whenever King Maddox is in need of assistance, showing her loyalty and her companionship to him and the family. She remains at his aid for whenever he requests help, but the love she has for him is one-sided.

|| Combat student, friend, trusted ally, supporter || To add to the royal family members that Alice grew close to, Prince Lucian and Alice have a strong, trusted connection from past experiences. In Prince Lucian's early years, Alice was a respected authority figure, sometimes scolding him for any mischievous activities that Alice would catch him doing around the royal court. Past all innocent mistakes, there came a time in which Alice became a more important figure within his life, that was both unexpected and beneficial. When the time came for Alice to become the silently revered shield-maiden she was with glorified battle expertise, she was specially ordered to become a trainer of Prince Lucian. This new title was kept quiet, and Alice made sure to train Prince Lucian as hard as she could for the three years she had before being ruled out of the military. During these 3 years, she not only passed down a great majority of her specialized skill set with sword and shield to a member of the royal family, but she built a mentorship connection with Prince Lucian. She is now a friend, a trusted companion, and a mentor to Prince Lucian.

"A talented asset to the military. Lord Amberlin has my respects for his great achievements, and I applaud him for his continuous contribution to Abhainn."

|| Strategic partner, war ally, acquaintance || Lord Amberlin has always been known by Alice throughout the majority of her life, but it was only until her participation as a strategist and war general that she became fully acquainted with the talented Lord. Prior to partaking in the Abhainnian military, Alice knew of Lord Amberlin from his high respects towards her father, crossing paths from time to time. Upon entry to the war room, Alice began to have one of the leading voices to military and diplomatic decisions, causing her to be well known amongst those within the war room. As time went on, it was established that Lord Amberlin and Alice worked very well together, performing great achievements and making powerful moves when the two collaborated. Although their work together was revered, it was almost as if a competition started that turned into what could seem to be a rivalry. Despite the respect the two have for each other and their talents, it was clear that the spotlight was only bright enough for one leading individual. Though acquainted and respected, Alice now believes that Lord Amberlin is one of the individuals that ruled her out of the military.

"An opponent that should never be underestimated. A fierce warrior that should always be fought with honor."

|| Common enemy, formidable opponent, memorable target || The first time the two met on the battlefield, it was clear that neither one was a mere soldier with basic training. Their battles last long, always ending unfinished, but nonetheless -- epic. It wasn't just their unique sets of armor that distinguished them from the battlefield, but the fighting style that was brought to the fight. Both individuals, praised for their skill and valor, face each other often but never manage to deal the killing blow. Abhainn's Battle-Maiden versus The Lion of Slibah made for an entertaining battle, but one that lasted far too long. Perhaps the two did it more for sport, but regardless, they were a formidable enemy to one another. Now, Alice is saddened that she never got to fight a battle with him to the finish and never truly catching a glimpse of his face.

[Pundii]

Lord Aedan of Sliabh

_{{ ”If you wish for peace, you must be willing to fight.” }}

---

---

| Name |

Aedan Merryn.

| Nickname |

'The Lion of Sliabh' - The title Aedan earned among many of his troops and warriors of Abhainn who he faced in combat.

| Age |

Thirty.

| Gender |

Male.

| Sexuality |

Heterosexual.

| Kingdom |

Sliabh.

| Alliance |

The Kingdom of Sliabh

| In Depth Appearance |

Not the largest and strongest, nor the smallest and most agile, Aedan's physique is a firm balance between the two, though still athletic and muscular, betraying his warrior lifestyle. His wavy, black hair is often held up in a bun, fading down into a well-kept beard which does not extend too far from his face. He has a pair of dark grey, almost blackened eyes, and fair white skin. Most of Aedan's body is free of scars, though there is one particularly noticeable one which runs from his forehead down to the side of his right eye, one he received in a particularly close call with the famed "Battle-Maiden of Abhainn" during the war. Living primarily in the Northern parts of Sliabh, Aedan tends to be seen in warm clothes, fur cloaks and thick leathers as opposed to well-made or decorated nobles' dress. Generally, some refer to Aedan as looking solemn or guarded in his expression.

| Habits |

Stroking his Beard || When deep in thought, Aedan has a habit of running his fingers through his beard, scratching at it or straightening it out as he considers plans or what to do next.

Chewing his Gums || When frustrated or in any situation of particular irritation or annoyance, Aedan tends to chew on the gums in his cheeks or biting his lips. He does it subconsciously, and it generally takes for Aedan to be immensely irritated for him to do it.

| Hobbies |

Reading || Though he is a fighter first, Aedan prides himself on being well-educated. Knowing that he is lucky to be so well-educated, he spends a great deal of his free time studying history, tactics and all manner of things.

Duelling || While he is a general and strategist, Aedan still prides himself on his skill as a swordsman. He often takes the time to personally assist in the training of his men and guards, sparring and duelling with them to help them improve, as well as himself.

| Likes |

Honour || Aedan has a strong and proud sense of honour, and he respects those who similarly have such a code they follow.
Books || Learning is one of Aedan's preferred past-times, and so he enjoys books of almost any kind. Though, history in particular is a favoured topic.
Ale || Like most men, Aedan enjoys ale when it is appropriate, preferring it to wine.
Peace || Aedan may be a soldier and a warrior, but he professes an intense devotion to the attainment and preservation of peace in all forms.
Cold Weather || Aedan is mostly used to cold weather, he prefers it as it reminds him often of home, and he believes it breeds strong folk.

| Dislikes |

Traitors || Loyalty is important to Aedan, and those who abandon their loyalty to the kingdom of Sliabh, whoever they are, are sure to gain Aedan's ire.
Arrogance || People who claim titles or respect which they have not earned is one of the things Aedan can hardly stand.
Noble Expectations || The expectation that as a noble, Aedan should be primarily focused on finding a wife and making a lasting family name, is something he detests
Southerners || Though he's polite enough to keep it to himself, Aedan finds those from the south tend to be fancier, weaker, and generally more irritating than he prefers.
Murderers || Though he has debated if such a distaste is hypocritical, Aedan finds the taking of one's life which is not for proper reason the most detestable act of all.

| Fears |

Ruling || Though it would be an immensely unlikely circumstance, being a lord is already terrible enough for Aedan, who would prefer to live his life on the battlefield, rather than on a throne.

| Personality |

Hardened, strong and solemn, Aedan does not fit the category of most noble lords. Strength is one of Aedan's best characteristics, though it is Strength of Heart. An incredibly brave man, Aedan would never back down from any sort of challenge, and fears of death or injury have always been the last thing he'd give thought to. Given his rough beginnings, Aedan has also held a great deal of respect and even love for the common folk beneath him. He takes no pleasure in being considered above others, and does his best to protect the common folk, while making as little a show of his wealth and stature as he is able to.

While he is honourable and loyal, earning Aedan's trust is not an easy thing to do. An incredibly reserved and solemn person, Aedan does not make friends easily, and he is rarely even seen with a smile on his face. Considering he is the only one of his family, and many of Aedan's closest friends have died in battle, there is little people know of his history, or even of him aside from rumours, and he endeavours to keep it that way, generally not wishing to risk any sort of affection for others.

| Background |

Aedan Merryn was born a commoner, his father a blacksmith and mother a cook in the north of Sliabh. His childhood was as most common boys' was, without much in the way of education, and with its fair degree of troubles. Luckily, work was never hard to come by for his parents, with his father regularly receiving work with the war, and his mother having all sorts of travelers going between the kingdoms to cook for. Aedan's life was changed, however when an Abhainn army took over his home. His father killed in the fighting, Aedan became separated from his mother shortly after, never learning her fate, as he was eventually picked up by a group of Sliabhan soldiers retreating south. Though he was young at the time, Aedan ended up joining with the soldiers, being trained to eventually join the Sliabhan army.

As he aged, Aedan's ability and rank in the army grew, and he was eventually knighted for his valour and ability in fighting. Becoming a general of the Sliabhan forces, Aedan spearheaded a major counter-offensive in the North, retaking large areas of territory which had been lost in the war with Abhainn. It was during this counter-offensive that Aedan earned the title of 'The Lion of Slibah', given out of respect for him by some of his enemies, before the name began to spread among his own men as well. Retaking his homeland, Aedan was ordered to hold it by King George III, and given a lordship along with the land while the treaty with Abhainn was being discussed. Though he had never particularly wished to rule, Aedan accepted out of a deep loyalty for the king, and began to rule and lead his armies in the North, defending against the occasional skirmish while the treaty was negotiated.

During his lordship, Aedan made a few visits to the capital to speak with the king, becoming a close ally and even confidant for George III. As a skilled general and warrior, Aedan has held a similar relationship with the new king, Alister, and holds a respect for the man - believing him to hold true to George's doctrines. Aedan has had little argument or debate with the new king except on the topic of Julianna's betrothal. While both men share an aversion to the war, Aedan maintains his belief that it would only be a temporary peace. Aedan remains a loyal servant of Sliabh, and for now, a personal guard to the Lady Julianna.

"Gods help whomever lays an unjust hand upon her."
Aedan has grown closer to Julianna than any other member of the Hardin family. Having known her almost as long as he has held a lordship, what was once a strained effort to maintain protocol on his part has bloomed into something of a friendship reminiscent of siblings. Aedan cares deeply for Julianna's safety and honour, and often directly takes it upon himself to ensure her protection to a fierce degree.

Aedan had taken up something of a mentor role for the young prince Hardin. He has known the boy since he was quite young, and spent many hours speaking quietly with the boy after dark, telling him stories of the war and careful advice against seeking it out. Aedan is mostly unaware of the affect he has had on influencing Jaxton, believing he has served mostly as a tutor. Aedan has also taken Jaxton under his wing as a pupil of the sword, believing it necessary for the prince to learn its use, even if he has always advised against it.

"Never, and I do mean never underestimate the strength of a woman scorned."
The 'Battle-Maiden' of Abhainn has fascinated Aedan since their first meeting on the battlefield. Initially struck by her strength and prowess, it was through combat with her that Aedan learned not to underestimate the 'fairer sex'. The two have met many times on the battlefield, engaged in long, drawn-out battles usually in the center of it all, never with any great success on either of their parts. In their last fray, Alice left Aedan with the scar across his face, and he somewhat regrets never having the opportunity to speak to or see her off the battlefield, warrior to warrior.

King Alister of Sliabh

King Alister Hardin of Sliabh

_{{ "It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill." }}

---

---

| Name |

Alister Cailin Hardin

| Nickname |

Close companions have called him "Ster" (pronounced like "stare" or, less commonly "stir") for most of his life. Only his wife tends to call him "Ali".

| Age |

Thirty-six

| Gender |

Male

| Sexuality |

Bisexual - deep down, he has a preference for men, but he refuses to acknowledge it as the king of a nation.

| Kingdom |

Sliabh

| Alliance |

His loyalty is to Sliabh but, more importantly, his family.

| In Depth Appearance |

Alister is a tall man with little substance besides that. He towers at six feet, three inches, but he lacks the body mass to appear intimidating. He has a lean, wiry muscle about him, but it is nothing that would allow him to hold his own in one-on-one combat. In fact, Alister has a slight emaciated look about him. He has a shock of hair, deep brown in color. It is often a tangled mess, giving him a slightly windblown appearance. Alister's beard comes in a vibrant shade of ginger, adding a splash of color between his pale skin and dark hair. His eyes are a light hazel.

Alister bears the scars of a man who has led his own men into battle. It has been years since he has seen the front, what with the treaty, but he still bears the marks of his first few campaigns alongside his father. His choice of outfits consists mostly of rich, earthy tones mixed with reds and greens. He often wears rings and pendants that bear the riches that lie beneath Sliabh's great mountain, on which his castle stands.

---

---

---

---

---

| Habits |

Fidgets|| The rings on his fingers serve more than to be just decoration. Alister often turns them about on his fingers, toying with them in the midst of conversation. Further, he often toys at the hair of his beard when in deep thought with himself.
Humming || Often, when by himself, Alister will hum to himself either to pass the time or to fill the silence. He does not often do so when in company, as he is quite aware of the look that such behavior receives.

| Hobbies |

Art || Alister appreciates art in all of its forms, but his preferred means of artistic expression is painting or sketching. His fingers are often stained with charcoal or paint of a myriad of colors. His chambers in the palace serve mostly as his studio - the walls have long since been covered in his canvases and parchments.
Music || While his counterpart in Abhainn may appreciate the beauty of music, Alister has embraced it. As a boy, he insisted upon learning as many instruments as he could - especially the lute, which he still brings with him on travels. He has a rich, sonorous singing voice that he often uses to accompany songs.
Riding || Often, to escape the constraints of court, he will leave on day-long rides through the forests of Sliabh.

| Likes |

Horses || Al has always had a soft spot for horses, and he is often found spending days with some of his favorite, riding through the forests of Sliabh.
Family || Family is the most important to Alister. His wife, sister, and children mean the world to him, and he would do anything to keep them safe.
Rain || Alister generally likes large storms, but the rain is his favorite. The sound of the rain is soothing to him.
Reading || The adventures and exploits of the nation's leaders and heroes are some of his favorite reads. He's a bit of a romantic in that sense with a love for grand things.
Wine || Alister has a refined taste in wine. He enjoys a goblet or two with each meal, but he has learned how to pace himself and often refrains from drinking too much at once. In his younger years, he did not have so much control over himself.

| Dislikes |

Shoddy Conditions || Despite his often messy and disheveled appearance, Alister despises when things become disorganized or, forbid, dirty and shoddy. He's a bit of a germaphobe in that sense.
Ineptness || Alister believes everyone has a potential, and it annoys him greatly when he believes people do not live up to those. He loves his children, but he worries that they have not made the most of the resources he has given them throughout their lives.
War || He is quite eager to have this war over. He has seen the front line, and it is horrific. The sooner it ends, the better.
Sweets || Alister has never had a sweet tooth, and he often avoids candies and sweet desserts.
Crowds || Alister understands that he has a duty to his people, and so he puts on a front for the court. In truth, he would much rather keep to himself and his family than spend his days surrounded by the men and women who have deemed themselves important enough to surround him.

| Fears |

End of His Bloodline || Alister's greatest fear is the loss of his family. On another level, perhaps, he greatly fears the end of the current line of Sliabh kings, which predates the schism of the two families. His immediate family trumps this grandiose fear - he constantly worries for his wife, sister, and children - especially in this foreign land.
Entomophobia || Alister has a deep set fear of bugs, especially spiders. This stems from a general dislike of dirty conditions.

---

---

---

---

---

| Personality |

Alister is soft spoken - often terse in his statements to those he does not know. Even to his children, he can often come off as emotionally detached and harsh. His flamboyant style of dress contradicts the fact that Alister gives off a very cold vibe to those around him. He comes off as emotionally detached and a bit blase. Certainly, he has lived a life of luxury for years as the King of Sliabh, but it is misguided to imagine he does not feel, for he certainly does. Instead, his tendency to appear detached from those around him stems from a sheer hatred for large crowds of people. He has never taken to life in court and prefers to hide away in his chambers or wander the gardens than hold court.

This preference has never stopped him from conducting business, however. Alister prides himself in his dedication to his job, often placing himself in uncomfortable scenarios for the good of the kingdom. He is hardly a warrior, but he has led charges on the field numerous times in the name of his nation. And while he takes great pride in Sliabh, Alister's true loyalties lie with his family.

There is no limit to what he would commit in the name of family. Each grand action he takes is taken with consideration for the impact on those he loves. It sways him greatly and means that he is not always looking for the good of the nation but for the good of his blood line, but up until now, those two have always overlapped.

Deep down, Alister is an old soul, and he is known best by his wife and his sister. He has a love for the arts and has passed these loves on to his children. What he never managed to pass on, however, was his dedication and diligence. He worries that his children are not prepared for their roles in this ever-tumultuous world, and it is a worry that has kept him up many nights.

| Background |

Alister is the elder of two children born to King George of Sliabh and his queen. As the first child of the couple, and a male child for that matter, Alister's birth was celebrated throughout the kingdom. His mother and father fawned over him, giving him whatever he desired for. He was their pride and joy. And so, when he was old enough to begin his training. He was learning to read from a young age, though those were fairy tales and tales of valor rather than the histories of the land. Meanwhile, his mother trained him as a musician and fostered a love for music deep within him.

He was just about ten years old when his sister was born, and she filled the void that Alister had left as a quickly maturing child. He was never resentful of this, however, and recognized that she was younger than him and simply needed the attention of their parents moreso than he did. His father took him under his wing and trained the young boy in the ways of campaigning and diplomacy. He was very quiet in those years, preferring simply to watch and listen.

Alister was merely a teenager when he was told he would marry Mira, his childhood companion and the woman who had been promised to him since his birth. The two were wed in a grand ceremony, and the entire kingdom rejoiced. It was their wedding night that Alister first became aware of his sexual preference for men. Intoxicated, he made a pass at a servant before realizing the implications of his actions. Since then, he has remained closeted, worried that the truth would fracture the peace he has created in the kingdom.

Soon, Mira expected the couple's first child, and he awaited the birth of his child eagerly, doting on Mira throughout the pregnancy. But the child was lost to complications, followed soon by Mira's own father. The couple mourned for some time, and rumors swirled about the kingdom as to why they were unable to have a child.

The birth of the couple's first child, Jaxon, managed to bring joy back to the couple. Alister was only nineteen at the time, but he was present for his wife once more throughout the pregnancy. It was around this time that he began to accompany his father and his father's generals on the front, learning the art of war firsthand.
They were lessons he would have preferred to have never had, and they taught him the severity of war. He and Mira conceived the couple's second child, Elaisse, during one of his breaks from the front. Shortly after her birth, he made the decision to remain in the palace, leading the war effort from a table rather than a camp.

He fell into a very regular pattern, assisting his father in ruling the kingdom throughout the day and spending his evenings with his family or in his own chambers. It wasn't until King George's death that Alister finally took the throne, bringing all of the skills he had learned as a boy into play.

Alister has ruled Sliabh for some years now, and he has pushed for the treaty that would unite the two kingdoms in peace and by blood once more. Only now is the treaty in its final stages as they journey to Abhainn to solidify the marriage and put an end to the war once and for all.

Character Relations for Alister

King Alister Hardin

T H E K I N G S

M A D D O X . A U C L A I R
"Not much of a king, if you ask me. His father ought to have schooled him better."
Alister knows very little of Abhainn's king, but the reports he has gathered from his advisers have not reflected Maddox in a positive light. The young king seems to have very little regard for others and for how a kingdom ought to be ruled effectively. Alister sees him as a boy playing at war, and so it is no wonder he is reluctant to marry his sister off to him.

T H E Q U E E N S

J U L I A N N A . H A R D I N
"I would do anything to keep her safe."
Julianna means the world to Alister, rivaled only by his wife and children. He's known her most of his life, and he has looked out for her since she was born. He loathes this marriage if only because he hates feeling powerless over her safety. He can certainly come off as overbearing because of this, but he swears he does it only out of love for her.

M I R A B E L L E . H A R D I N
"The mother of my children and the love of my life - I would do absolutely anything for her."
Alister and Mira have remained close over their marriage, and he values her probably the most of anyone in his life. He is usually never seen without her at official events, for he finds solace in her simply being there. He tells her just about everything - save his sexual preferences since he knows that would certainly hurt her.

T H E P R I N C E S

J A X T O N . H A R D I N
"We have had our difficulties, but I do hope he knows I do it out of love."
Jaxton and Alister have a rough relationship, overshadowed by years of Alister grooming Jaxton to become king much like his own father groomed him. Alister worries his son is not yet ready to take on the throne of Sliabh, and he tends to take this anxiety out on the boy by criticizing him. Granted, he does it all out of love, but he is not the best at conveying this sort of layered affection.

L U C I A N . A U C L A I R
"Not much better than his brother, from what I hear."
Alister knows very little of the younger Auclair boy. He seems to be nothing more than a more diluted version of his older brother, but Alister has been attempting to hold out judgement until he has a chance to actually meet the boy himself.

T H E P R I N C E S S E S

E L A I S S E . H A R D I N
"My darling daughter - she seems far more receptive to my affections than her brother."
Alister loves both of his children equally, but it is no secret that he and Elaisse share a bond that he and Jaxton do not. They are similarly quite timid in social situations, and perhaps this similarity is what drives him to coddle her a bit more than he does Jaxton. Still, he is critical of her, if only to push her to be her best self. The two of them have bonded greatly over their shared love for art.

T H E L O R D S

A E D A N . M E R R Y N
"His loyalty is admirable, and I know I can trust him even in these times."
Alister knows Aedan is fiercely loyal to Sliabh, and so he considers him someone worth his trust. Granted, it is difficult for them to have a very close relationship, as Aedan is often blinded by his sheer loyalty to the throne. Still, he often turns to Aedan for advice.

T H E L A D I E S

A M A R A N T H E A . A S H W O O D
"I knew her when she lived in Sliabh, and it is certainly good to see her again."
He remembers Amaranthea from her time in Sliabh, though they were never truly close. He is certainly glad his sister has someone familiar in this strange land.

A L I C E . A L L A I R E
"I know nothing more than what my strategists tell me of her prowess."
Alister has heard rumor of Alice's accomplishments on the battlefield, but he knows nothing of her personally. Still, he does have a level of respect for her because of her abilities.

E V A N G E L I N E . F A R T H I N G
"She's a trustworthy enough lady - Julia took quite a liking to her when they were younger."
Alister did not personally know Evangeline, nor does he really know her now, but he does remember her as one of Julianna's closest companions. They have never really spoken in depth, but he knows her as a kind enough soul.

| Kingdom |

Sliabh.

| Alliance |

Mirabelle's loyalty lies within her kingdom but more importantly her family.

She fears that the marriage of her sister-in-law Juliana will be the downfall of Sliabh in no time what so ever.

| In Depth Appearance |

Mira is a petite woman standing at five foot and three inches tall, unlike her husband who towers over her as a protector. She is womanly with curves in all the right places and some of the wrong places as well. For giving birth to two healthy children she is looking very well. Mira has peachy tones through out her skin tone and wavy strawberry hair. Her eyes are a hazel brown and often crinkled, a good pairing with her stale smile.

Mira prefers to be pampered and enjoys her handmaidens to brush her hair, apply makeups, and different concoctions of beauty alike. She loves fashion and tries to be a trendsetter in the kingdom, admiring her own taste in food, clothing, and other trends alike. These thoughts have transferred on to the ways of her children and she prefers them to be well kept and to have a high opinion of their worth.

| Personality |

Vain. Quick Witted. Family Oriented. Straight Forward. Generous.

The opinions of who Mira is perceived as are on total opposites of the likability spectrum. Some may see her for her vanity, her want for perfection and her blunt and often sharp tongued comments. While others may see her for her strength in communication and undying love for her family and close friends. Depending on what mood you catch Mira in- will determine your outcome.

The vain, blunt, and striving for perfection side of Mira was brought on to her by a young age. Her mother was very strict and demanded the most excellence from Mira. When she was learning her manners her mother would slap her hands over and over again if she felt like Mira wasn't behaving as she needed to be. Some of Mira's behavior came with the lavish lifestyle she received from being a child and then being a Queen. She feels she deserves a good life and appreciates the lavish and above and beyond care she receives. However, she feels this way about all of her family, friends, and somewhat for the common people. If she could give out her riches to all without losing anything, she might consider it.

Communication, loyalty, and family are of the utmost importance to Mira. She believes a woman with a good head on her shoulders is the most powerful thing this world has to offer. She teaches her daughter this constantly and wants her to know that men are not held to a higher power just because of the rules set up by things she can't control. Mira is known for her quick wit and ability to resolve most issues that come across her family in a fair and straight forward way. She is not one to play favorites when it comes to deals, though she can't help but have a bit of bias towards her own family line.

| Background |

Born into a noble family, Mira has never quite lived through too many hardships. Her father was a close friend to the previous king of Slibah and so when Mira became of age it was no question as to who would be up for the hand to the king's son: Alister. When the two were introduced at a young age, they got along and played together well enough as kids do. They didn't realize at the time how much they would mean to one another as time went on.

Two two wed and the kingdom rejoiced. Soon after Mira fell pregnant with their first child, who they lost during some complications during the pregnancy. As misfortune seems to come in pairs, Mira's father fell ill around the same time and passed away shortly after losing her first child. Not giving up Alister and Mira fought through the gossip of the barren Queen of Sliabh and produced their oldest son: Jaxton. He was a healthy, happy boy and loved by all that graced his path. Not soon after- as if to rub it in the face of those who doubted her Mira gave birth to a daughter who was just as healthy and happy: Elaisse. Mirabelle took parenting very seriously and gave the children all they could ever desire or wish. She encouraged them to be as open minded as they could be as well as strong and independent as allowed. With her husband by her side, it was clear that the two found family to their entire world.

Alister's younger sister Juliana was soon to be married to another kingdom. Mira felt a bit uncomfortable about the arrangement but as long as Juliana was happy and knowing of what she was going into- she gave the woman the benefit of the doubt. Mira had always been fond of Juliana but knew that this arrangement could change their entire relationship in it's entirely.

While the wedding is underway, Mira is preparing her own children for their next steps in life.

| Extra |

- Had a miscarriage before Jaxton was born.
- Mira's favorite color is a peachy orange #E3A25F
- My favorite time period is the Cold War. Women's fashion of the 50's is my aesthetic.

[Filthy Mudblood]

Lady in Waiting, Evangeline Farthing

_{{ ”A passionate woman is worth the chaos.” }}

---

---

| Name |

Lady Evangeline Farthing

| Nickname |

Everyone informally calls her Eve, or even 'Lady Eve' at times.

| Age |

Twenty-five years old

| Gender |

Female.

| Sexuality |

Heterosexual

| Kingdom |

Sliabh

| Alliance |

She cares little for kingdoms - her loyalty lies with her lady.

---

---

---

---

| In Depth Appearance |

Fiery red hair, fierce green eyes and sharp features ensure that, once noticed, Eve cannot be easily forgotten. She stands slightly short at a mere 5'4" (a positive attribute for that of a lady in waiting), with a lithe, slender figure that one would normally associate with a working girl. For many years she has tried to tame the mass of auburn curls that fall about her face, however nothing has worked so she has been forced to learn how to pin back the flame-coloured ringlets.

Cosmetics are not something that Eve is particularly familiar with - she is a lady in waiting, so it is part of her job to make the future queen look stunning next to the likes of her. The dresses she wears are relatively expensive, yet simple and often in colours of blue or green to match her eyes. All in all, she has an abundance of features with the potential to drop jaws, however tends to downplay these features for the sake of her position in court and commitment to the future queen herself.

| Habits |

In her younger years, Eve was known for often zoning out in one of her daydreams. She'd be teased - not unkindly - for her little moments where she'd be so wrapped up in her own mind that she had no idea what was going on around her. She still has these moments, however less frequently after being told off many times for the disrespect of it, and she is still in a world of her own.

Another thing that can be noticed about Eve is that she fidgets. A lot. Her fingers seem to always be playing with something or drumming against a surface - it's a nervous habit that so many are surprised to see as she carried herself with such confidence.

| Hobbies |

Singing - Lady Evangeline is often asked to perform for the court with her beautiful voice. She is only permitted to sing traditional songs, of course, but her journal is full of secret poetry and lyrics she confides in writing.

Being outdoors - Eve's upbringing may have been harsh, but it has given her a passion for exploration that no one would ever be able to put out. When she is not by her lady's side, she will allow always be found picking flowers in the garden or even (when she is sure that no one is watching, of course) climbing trees.

| Dislikes |

- Pointless rules

- Too much order
- Snobbish nobility

- Her hair

| Fears |

Evalengeline has a severe case of claustrophobia. Although undiagnosed, she knows to stay away from large crowds and small rooms. There have been many cases in which she has fainted at events such as balls or feasts due to the smothering weight of everyone else's presence.

And despite the fact that she would never admit it, Evangeline hates thunderstorms. Lightning scares her to death.

| Personality |

A fierce temper and fiery passion are not traits that are easy to tame - yet Evangeline must for the sake of her position in court. Her mother had always smacked her, claiming she was the devils child with her flame-coloured hair and wicked stubbornness. Of course, Eve is not in any ways evil or wicked and in fact has a very good heart. Little can sway her on what is right and wrong and she values following ones heart above everything else.

Evangeline has been brought up being taught that her top priority should be the future queen's happiness. It is obvious to her that Julianna's life is far more important than her own, so it should be treated as such. Almost everything she does is for her lady's sake, however there is a part of her that wishes for more. She has never been in love before and, in fact, has never even been at the receiving end of a man's attention. Something inside her is determined to change that, hopefully sooner rather than later.

The vehemence of which she feels towards doing the right thing does come with its drawbacks, however. Evangeline seems to feel things far more fiercely than any other normal person - when she loves, she devotes her whole heart to the recipient; yet when she is angry, she becomes cold and almost heartless in a matter of seconds. Despite the strength she may display, Eve is a very fragile girl. Her golden heart and yearning for love is precious and must be protected at all costs, for if it is lost, no one will want to cross the girl that's left behind.

| Background |

Evangelines childhood was not a pleasant one, to say the least. Her father was a lord - one relatively close to the royal family, at that - and her mother had not even a drop of noble blood in her. Their story was one that Eve had been told countless times - her father risked everything to be with the beautiful peasant girl with the red hair that was her mother, all for the sake of love. That didn't help the fact that, by the time that Eve was ten, her father would spend most of his time out drinking and her mother would do her very best to bring up Evangeline as a proper lady, as if she could wipe away the half of her that was not of nobility.

Such a strict upbringing did not go well with Eve and she rebelled in every way she could until her mother, exasperated beyond belief, sent the child of twelve to court with little more than a peck of the cheek and a warning to keep her hair hidden. From there, Lady Evangeline had to work her way to the position she should have been born into. Very much by accident, she became close to the beautiful girl at court that was a few years her senior and the two would spend hours playing and gossiping together for many years.

It was not until Evangeline was enquired about her relationship with the future queen that she realised who this girl really was - she had always just known her as Lady Julia. Upon hearing of Eve's noble blood, she was promoted to Lady in Waiting to Julianna Hardin and has spent the past seven years in her service.
