Description
This is a steel-forged beauty, plucked from the warmth of summer meadow to be hammered in the mountains to a razor's edge. An enviable figure, suited to be the subject of a marble sculpture appears just as cool as that stone itself. There is naught to beckon in her carriage, but rather to admire from a distance. Green eyes near as pale as frosted glass, there are elements of peridot beneath if less sun-soaked. Nobiity is there in facial features, the high cheekbones and petite nose. Lips are soft, generous, and stained more often than not a pale shade of rose. Her hair would fall down to her waist if left free to, the color varying between rich crimson and pale honey. Skin is porcelain pale, flawless, pampered as if hours a day are set aside for her vanity alone.
Personality
Vanora can be difficult to understand upon initial meeting. Something about her makes her come off as frosty, a shell of careful politics and court etiquette that beneath holds deeper and more mercurial moods. She carries herself with the poise and the mask of indifference that those who understand the training of the Priests of Tehom likely find familiar. Still waters do run deep they say, and it is possible to see warmth, humor, and even flirtation when engaged with Vanora. Just avoid her bad side, it will strike as swift and unexpectedly as any viper.
Background
The question of lineage has hung over Vanora since before her birth, in spite of her parents' insistence that she be legitimated as a Pravus, and her four older siblings' grudging acceptance of her as such. That inescapable otherness provided her an outsider's perspective and made her a precocious student of motives.
As her brothers' youthful teasing turned to adult scheming, Vanora was sent to a nearby temple of Tehom with increasing regularity, a precautionary move taken by a mother who had already insisted on a religious education. By the time her father and brothers had been banished from Setarco, or executed for their crimes against House Pravus, she had donned the Mirrormask as a disciple.
Now she travels to Arx to speak of Tehom's passion and majesty, and perhaps as an extra set of eyes for the House that finds her more useful now than ever before.
