Her family's pseudo-exile has given her the opportunity to grow up away from the intrigue surrounding most Aristo households.

NPCs

Lord Jareth:

Sex: Male

Age: 49

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 190 lbs

Appearance: Tall and lean. He dresses in formal, expensively understated clothes befiting his rank.

Personality: Jareth is the quintessential Aristo. He is politically savvy, arrogant, and dangerous. He is also charming when necessary, but prefers to rule through veiled intimidation.

Things of Note: He is recently married to a young Arista, a rather brainless twit who spends all her time on attaining new baubles. Ronan is his current favored Heir.

Lord Sutton:

Sex: Male

Age: 54

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 195 lbs

Appearance: Tall and solidly built. He is no stranger to the outdoors. He dresses in formal, sturdy clothes befiting his rank.

Personality: Sutton is one of the few Aristos with a sense of responsibility towards his people and the land. He makes the effort to be familiar with the issues facings them and listens when his people bring concerns to him. He is firmly of the opinion that workers are more productive when they are respected, and the land's productivity should be the foremost goal of any Aristo Head. As such, he has a tight reign on the aristos under his command, not tolerating the misconduct against peoples of lesser rank so common in other households. He also holds the 'absurd' notion that women can do more than simply being ornamental child-bearers. As such, all of his children receive a full education, and his wife acts as one of his advisors.

Things of Note: He is in exile from Avella City for his 'radical' views. He is currently Head of an Avella country estate with responsibility for the surrounding farmlands. His wife is Lady Delphi of House Raina. Together they have seven children. Their oldest child, Patrice (20), has been summoned as liason to Avella City to report on her father's progress with the previously ailing lands. Their oldest son, Edwin (13), was too young at the time of the summons.

Lady Delphi:

Sex: Female

Age: 52

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 145 lbs

Appearance: Dark complected, as is typical of House Raina. She has an openly pleasent face and carries herself with grace.

Personality: Delphi is a loving mother and calming influence upon her husband Sutton. She has a quiet confidence and will often watch in the wings as her husband holds council observing those who come before him so she can give him council when his meetings are through. She actually prefers watching from the sidelines as it gives her the chance to observe people when they think they aren't being watched.

Things of Note: Her husband is Lord Sutton. Together they have seven children. Their oldest child, Patrice (20), has been summoned as liason to Avella City to report on her father's progress with the previously ailing lands. Their oldest son, Edwin (13), was too young at the time of the summons.
