Mistakes were made, but the world moves on. Once upon a time, Princess Natalia Grayson was denobled in a series of particularly public scandals that began with the dissolution of her betrothal to a Thraxian Prince. She took it poorly, handled it worse, and picked a particularly public fight with her cousin. That cousin happened to be the Highlord of Grayson at the time, and she was stripped of her title, kicked out of the family, and exiled from Bastion and the Grayson ward. After a few short weeks of -- shall we say -- less than delightful behavior, she disappeared completely. After two years of nothing she reappeared in the city as a Whisper, and has consistently been behaving herself. Several years were spent in this capacity, and she built a reputation that bore very little resemblance to the walking scandal she once was. With the assistance of Kael Keaton, she built the Academy of War; through the Academy and as a Whisper, her work for the Compact has been significant. Known as a capable diplomat and earning a quieter reputation for cultist hunting, she has been considered largely reformed for several years now. While there had been rumors of a possible return to Grayson, in Autumn of 1015, Natalia Whisper (once Natalia Grayson) became Baroness Natalia Elwood, ennobled by Marquis Keaton and given domain over what was Acorn Hill, and is now Arden Woods; she has named her foster daughter as heir. The lack of opposition from House Grayson regarding her new title has been widely taken as a signal that she is welcome among the highest echelons of polite society again.

Spun gold and sweet cream blonde curls fall in a tumble to a point just past this woman's shoulders, typically artfully careless in their arrangement. Her skin is perfect porcelain with just enough color to give her a blush of life and vitality, untouched by freckle or blemish. There is something ethereal to the delicacy of her features, light and so very distinctly feminine as they are; high cheekbones, thick eyelashes, well proportioned lips and nose -- she's beautiful in a way that inspires devotees of Jayus to create artistic masterpieces that become legends within their lifetimes. Blue eyes are vibrant, the color of a spring sky, so expressive as to make hiding her thoughts and feelings occasionally difficult without them being ridiculously obvious. She is above average in height and slender, the lines of her figure curved to perfection, femininity embodied.

The majority of the time, Natalia does her former Whisper status proud; she keeps her composure well intact, manages to remain serene. Sometimes the mischief peeks out, sometimes the sharp sense of humor escapes, but she keeps it mostly under control. At least in public.
