|Description=Everything about Eleyna seems delicate; from the pale hue of her skin to the fragile pink of her soft lips. Yet, in her cold blue eyes there is an icy fierceness, a way of peering at the world and seeing the truth in it. Eleyna's voice is a startling contrast to her fragile appearance; being a surprisingly husky purr.
+
|Description=While Eleyna is still considered fair and delicate in coloring, with her alabaster skin and pale golden hair, she seems more substantial now than the creature of fragile beauty that arrived to Arx years ago in the wake of her aunt's death. Perhaps it is the curviness of her figure granted by the birth of her children or perhaps the gravity of her new position, but the Archduchess exudes presence whenever she walks into a room, with every half-smirk she grants or lift of her exquisitely shaped brows.
|Personality=Few would ever make the error of calling Eleyna 'sweet' or 'kind'. Despite her doll-like appearance, this princess is made of ice. Composed, educated, and articulate, Eleyna exemplifies the virtues of House Velenosa. To outsiders, she offers only witty smiles and a sharp tongue. To her family and loved ones, cracks of warmth and humor break through the ice. Yet, beneath the frozen exterior, the occasional deep current of sadness can be faintly detected before it disappears once again beneath duty and devotion. Her keen intelligence and observation skills are used for the benefit of the family, always. She's proven her loyalty to her House many times and would do so again in a heartbeat.
+
|Personality=While few would consider Eleyna an especially kind woman, she is a generous one in her effort to live up to the ideal that the Velenosa do not merely punish those that have harmed them but reward those who are loyal. As one might expect for a woman that started life as just another disposable cousin and worked her way to Grand Duchess of the Lyceum, Eleyna is focused and intelligent, determined to unite the Lyceum in an unstable age. Yet, those that fall under the banner of friends and loved ones see the warmth and humor beneath the ice and ruthless ambition.
|Background=Eleyna's earliest memories are of a childhood spent with her beloved cousins. While she was not likely to rule, she was still given the same education, the same lessons in power and manipulation. A childhood spent together also fostered love and devotion in Eleyna, a willingness to do whatever was needed so that the Velenosa family would prosper.  
+
|Background=Eleyna Velenosa started her life as just another Princess in a very large family, destined to be offered in marriage to create treaties between the House of her birth and its chosen allies. With no living mother and a mostly disinterested father, she was at the mercy of her ambitious aunt. Three times, she served in such a role. Three times, it ended in tragedy. Even the most spotless reputation cannot withstand the rumors that accompany three dead husbands.  
  
Her first opportunity came just after her eighteenth birthday. A union was proposed with a wealthy vassal that would strengthen alliances between Houses. Eleyna accepted the match and was married soon after. Within six months, her husband found death with his nightly glass of wine. Not exactly uncommon in the Lyceum. A few months after that, Eleyna accepted another match, this with a handsome and hot-headed young Duke. After two years, Eleyna's second husband was dead as well in a duel that some vicious tongues whispered Eleyna had instigated herself through flirtations with her husband's own cousin.  
+
In the Lyceum, they called her the Black Widow of Lenosia. They sought to shame her for the tragedies that befell her.  
  
After a year of mourning, Eleyna was married a third time. This time to an older lord with whom House Velenosa sought to cement loyalties. Her third husband appeared to spoil and pamper his young wife, making for what seemed to be a happy marriage. Tragedy struck when this husband met with a hunting accident that left him with an arrow through his neck and Eleyna as a widow, once again.  
+
Eleyna took an insult meant to humiliate her and turned it into something to fear. If they wanted her to be a spider, she would be a spider. It was the spider's machinations that brought her to Arx in the wake of the King's Rest. That same spider built webs to climb from disgraced Princess to valued Voice and, eventually, all the way to the Grand Duchess' throne.  
  
Now, Eleyna's reputation in the Lyceum is as the black widow of House Velenosa. It is whispered that her touch is as poisonous as an unattended wine glass at a dinner party. Unsurprisingly, no further offers of marriage have come for her. Tiring of the whispers and rumors despite her proven innocence, Eleyna has decided to join her cousins in Arx, convinced that she can be of more use there than as a topic of scandal in Lenosia.
+
It's amazing how power seems to wash away the sins of past. So, while the sharp mind and ambitious nature remain, the Black Widow is no more now that Eleyna has both remarried and ascended to the pinnacle of power within her House and within the Lyceum. Lenosia is the City of Flowers, so it makes sense that Eleyna would be the White Lily, the palest of blooms but also the one symbolizing rebirth for her and her people.

Description

While Eleyna is still considered fair and delicate in coloring, with her alabaster skin and pale golden hair, she seems more substantial now than the creature of fragile beauty that arrived to Arx years ago in the wake of her aunt's death. Perhaps it is the curviness of her figure granted by the birth of her children or perhaps the gravity of her new position, but the Archduchess exudes presence whenever she walks into a room, with every half-smirk she grants or lift of her exquisitely shaped brows.

Personality

While few would consider Eleyna an especially kind woman, she is a generous one in her effort to live up to the ideal that the Velenosa do not merely punish those that have harmed them but reward those who are loyal. As one might expect for a woman that started life as just another disposable cousin and worked her way to Grand Duchess of the Lyceum, Eleyna is focused and intelligent, determined to unite the Lyceum in an unstable age. Yet, those that fall under the banner of friends and loved ones see the warmth and humor beneath the ice and ruthless ambition.

Background

Eleyna Velenosa started her life as just another Princess in a very large family, destined to be offered in marriage to create treaties between the House of her birth and its chosen allies. With no living mother and a mostly disinterested father, she was at the mercy of her ambitious aunt. Three times, she served in such a role. Three times, it ended in tragedy. Even the most spotless reputation cannot withstand the rumors that accompany three dead husbands.

In the Lyceum, they called her the Black Widow of Lenosia. They sought to shame her for the tragedies that befell her.

Eleyna took an insult meant to humiliate her and turned it into something to fear. If they wanted her to be a spider, she would be a spider. It was the spider's machinations that brought her to Arx in the wake of the King's Rest. That same spider built webs to climb from disgraced Princess to valued Voice and, eventually, all the way to the Grand Duchess' throne.

It's amazing how power seems to wash away the sins of past. So, while the sharp mind and ambitious nature remain, the Black Widow is no more now that Eleyna has both remarried and ascended to the pinnacle of power within her House and within the Lyceum. Lenosia is the City of Flowers, so it makes sense that Eleyna would be the White Lily, the palest of blooms but also the one symbolizing rebirth for her and her people.
