Baroness Cosette Thorne, House of the Falcon
16 years old
Appearance
Mother: Countess Dara Yvarai, House of the Fox
Father: Count Abhaz Thorne, House of the Falcon, Dominant
Arranged Marriage to 34 year old widower Baron Bajinoth Mwrr, House of the Serpent.
They have a son, Rajh (who is not yet blooded to a House), together.
Honorable. Sister to all who know her, as she never had siblings of her own.
Has a maid, Chayan, who serves her well, and have been friends since childhood, despite the class difference. Chayan is never permitted to show her face, and only speaks to Cosette through hand gestures the two of them have assigned meaning to. Only Cosette and her parents have seen Chayan without her mask since Cosette insisted on making her wear it seven years ago. Neither her nor Chayan herself communicates the reasoning, but Chayan has never made a move to remove the mask. Cosette removes the mask for her in private when it's time to eat, and they feed each other. Cosette intends on eventually Blooding Chayan, making her official nobility.
Cosette also has her own personal guard (a group of 3 guards in gold masks under black hoods, and enchanted black armor, all carrying spears), as well, though they somehow manage to remain unnoticed by most due to the nature of their enchanted masks. The staff of Castle Thorne take care of her child while she is away, and she has a personal guard devoted solely to Rajh's protection. She was sent to the school more for protection than for education (since her family has already educated her through tutors). Because of her education, she is sometimes asked to demonstrate.
Mage Type: Blood
Magic Specialty: Transfiguration, oddly enough. Divination, as well.
Weapon: A hidden, extremely ornate dagger engraved with the symbol of her House, as well as a matching sword.
Weakness: Combat Prowess; she can't really fight at all, her dagger being used almost exclusively to draw blood for rituals. The sword is solely to show status, but if challenged to a duel of swords (one she thankfully has been able to avoid so far), she must accept in order to not stain her family's honor. And while she is loyal to those she holds near her, she often can fall prey to their wily, wily ways.
Known Blood Rituals:
- The Blooding (Used to make someone a noble in her House. Involves blood exchange, dancing, music, acting, and more, varied by noble House),
- The Familiar (Used to make a familiar...obviously. Involves feeding the animal one's own blood from a few days after birth, in addition to basic enchantment rituals),
- The Oath (When making deals, she can mix her blood and the blood of others involved in the ink used for the contract, and anyone who breaks the oath is magically branded with the word "Traitor" across their forehead for a year and a day).
Familiar:
Isla - She can cast spells through her eyes, as they share senses, and they can communicate through emotions.
