|Description=Graceful is often tossed around to describe many a noble woman, but none come close to the embodiment that Radiant Selene exudes. Her lucious mahogany hair spills across her shoulders, in that perfect length and softly curling way, to usher in fashion trends, and being on the edge of all. Long lashes frame eyes of the richest sapphire and sparkle with a life few have ever considered possible. Every so often, a hint of dark thought touches her features, a shadow gone almost before it appeared. Created of soft curves and fine lines, there is no one feature that stands out, yet the whole of the woman transcends any expectation or standard of beauty.

She was born to Grayson peasants in a simple farming village near Grayhold, living a comfortable but excruciatingly dull life until her early teens when she met a traveling troupe of players whom she impressed with an acting audition. Her natural gifts for acting took her all the way to the greatest of venues, the Black Rose Theater in Arx, where she impressed the previous Radiant of the Whisper House, the head of the most prestigious courtesan establishment, with her grace and flawless ability to portray a high noble lady on stage. The Radiant's offer to join her as a new courtesan and her personal protege surprised Selene, but she was fascinated enough by life in the capital and the splendor of the court to depart from the troupe and accept. Selene has since risen to become the Radiant herself and if her clients might ever so rarely catch the smallest glimmer of ambition in her lovely eyes, then that can probably be forgiven.

Description

Graceful is often tossed around to describe many a noble woman, but none come close to the embodiment that Selene exudes. Her lucious mahogany hair spills across her shoulders, in that perfect length and softly curling way, to usher in fashion trends, and being on the edge of all. Long lashes frame eyes of the richest sapphire and sparkle with a life few have ever considered possible. Every so often, a hint of dark thought touches her features, a shadow gone almost before it appeared. Created of soft curves and fine lines, there is no one feature that stands out, yet the whole of the woman transcends any expectation or standard of beauty.

Personality

Selene is a woman, made of confidence and silken steel, quick to jest or comfort, laugh or shed a perfect tear. Never one to be out of place in any situation, she is both the most genuine and most mysterious woman one could meet. Her moods are as carefully crafted as her clothing, wearing them with the poise and grace one could expect from the premiere courtsean. Rarely aggressive, none would ever ascribe 'weak' to the woman, but her strength occasionally reflects the dangerous core of cold steel within. She knows when to make the double entendre, when to place a comforting hand on the shoulder, and she makes it all look as effortless as a summer breeze. Very few may know the true Selene, but it is very difficult to find a reason to dislike whoever they meet.

Background

Most nobles that meet Selene would never imagine she comes from humble roots as she effortlessly shows the elegance and poise expected of the most elite of courtiers among the nobility, seeming to have an instinctive grasp of every rule of etiquette or expectation that could be placed upon her. She generally gently demurs from talking about her past, though it's generally known she was a gifted actress with a troupe of mummers, often playing high born noblewomen on the stage, and it was how she caught the attention of a previous Radiant of the Whisper House and became the woman's protege in Arx as a Whisper specializing in diplomacy and courtly fashion. She eventually rose to become Radiant herself, though seemingly took the position reluctantly, and was never really comfortable leading the House. While Radiant she did aid the negotiations with the Nox'alfar, the so-called 'dark elves' that were responsible for King Alaric's coma and most fully expected war after a previous breakdown with their envoys, but Selene helped see that a treaty with reasonable terms was struck despite the acrimony among many of the nobility. She decided she had a knack for it.

Preventing war between adversaries of questionable sanity and leaders of questionable temperament was a personal triumph to Selene, and after enjoying high stakes negotiations and the intrigue and fun that came out of it (such as going with her level best attempt at a 'Nox'alfar' fashion outfit that seemed to win over the envoys), she just didn't enjoy being a distant administrator any longer, and stepped down from position of Radiant to take a trip to the Twilight Court as an envoy for a time. Upon her return to Arx, she's looking to pursue her interests in outstanding diplomacy and outstanding fashion, and helping houses raise to prominence with her help. For the right cost, of course.
