Background
Place of Birth:

Unknown - she was given into the orphanage immediately after birth from some other part of England
Family:
Unknown Loyal-lined English father and an unknown Celtic slave mother
History (known only by princess Isabella herself, while Queen only recognize her as a maid):
Raised as an orphan bastard child in the orphanage that couldn't care less, she survived on her own, often worked with mercenaries on smaller scale jobs to earn some money. Being an orphan, mercenaries took her in as an expendable, teaching her the basic combat skills, but expecting she would die soon after. Realizing it wasn't bound to happen, they sent her out on a job no one would take, expecting to get rid of her and leaving her for dead after she was wounded in the process, successfully completing the job. Fortunately, so to say, the man she got rid of was of great annoyance to the house of Lancaster. At the age of 18, she was taken in as a service maiden and after the death of the King and the flee of the Queen, she showed a great amount of loyalty to princess Isabella while protecting her from different schemes turned against her, and being convinced that princess would be much more suitable for the throne than her older sister, she was ever since, more than willing in aiding the young princess in any way she can, always successfully fulfilling her duties. Even though she is still under the detection as Princess' personal maid, she is a fierce and cold-blooded assassin that would kill and spy anyone she is told to, always putting the well-being of her Princess in a first place. Only Princess and her closest advisors and knights are familiar with Maven's true duty.

Exes:
None

Sex: Female
Age: 23

Skin: Rich brown
Facial Features: see pictures

She is only allowed to wear her elaborate garbs when dancing or while entertaining the court. Outside the castle walls, however, she is forced to wear plain and pesant cloths, sometimes even rags, to not offend the people; if they see a gypsy of all people wearing such rich fabrics, there would surely be an uproar. While she's out, it is also required for her to cover as much skin as possible. She is typically see barefoot and rarely wears shoes, the only exception would be her dancing slippers that she puts on for special occasions.

2017e39c811148c00b71376e7b2861c2.jpg

Background
Place of Birth: Unknown. Her parents were nomads, never staying in one place long so there is no clear area where her family came originated. She's of Romai descent with an Indo-European/Indo-Ayran ethnic background.
Family:
Parents
Ferka (fur-ka) and Tasaria (sorry-a) Donani-killed due to persecution
Siblings
Brishen (bry-shen) Donani-older brother, unjustly convicted and executed
Kezia (K-za) "Kizzy" Donani-younger sister somewhere in the country, separated
History: When Aishe was a teenager her older brother, Brishen was taken from their camp and accused. That same day he was sentenced to death without even a trial. Shortly after, what was left of her family left that part of the country and moved on. While they were on the road, their caravan was attacked and Aishe grabbed her sister and escaped into the woods. After hiding the younger one, Aishe went back to help her parents only to find their bodies alongisde some of those of the rest of the travelers. While gathering up as much as she can, Aishe was discovered and raced away in the opposite direction of where her sister was hiding, calling at her the codeword her family used whenever they had to seperate.

After escaping safely, Aishe started traveling around to her family's old meeting places. She wasn't having much luck and was passing through the Lancaster realm to get to another meeting place, when a castle guard wandering through the market saw her dancing in order to make money. He immediately arrested her and took her to the palace to be judged. Aishe pleaded to the Princess and offered to be her personal dancer. She complied and now is limited to the palace walls; if she even sets foot outside without permission from the Princess she can be executed on the spot. Now all she dreams is to escape her current situation and find her sister.

Clothing style: Dresses as a commoner in every day life, but keeps several high-class or noble outfits for infiltration, balls, and meeting with the queen.

Personality
Intelligence level: near genius (IQ: 142)
Personality traits and flaws:
Cunning -
Able to infiltrate gatherings with ease, and can adjust plans on the fly with little difficulty.

Gifted Teacher -
Began an academy to train spies to his standards, assuming he will die relatively soon.

Academic -
Spends his free time buried in research and experimentation, hoping to hone his craft.

Obsessive -
Will do whatever it takes to finish a mission, regardless of personal cost or loss of life.

Cold -
A life spent murdering and hiding from the public eye has taken it's toll on him, leaving him emotionally detached.

Paranoid -
As a consequence of his profession, he assumes anyone but his queen can betray him if given the chance.

Fears:

Being discovered and tortured.
Any spy fears his cover being blown, and most know what awaits one who is taken alive.

Fire.
Early in his career, he was captured while on a mission. His chest and back are covered in burn scars from the interrogation.

Wears a mask when teaching his students to protect his identity.

Background
Place of Birth: Lancaster

History: Duncan is an orphan, found on the steps of Priory Church of St. Mary. He followed the teachings of the church until he came of age, being raised by the friars. Once he became an adult and struck out on his own, he noticed that he had a knack for blending into the shadows. No one noticed him unless he desired it. Unfortunately, there's only one line of work that would use a skill like that, a life of crime.

He would go on to become a handy thief, until one day he decided to try and swipe a certain young princess' broach. While he thought he was able to get it from her without being noticed, the sudden arrival of a pair of guards ready to break his arms off and beat him with them told him otherwise. For whatever reason, the future queen deemed him worthy of mercy, and he swore a life of servitude to her in gratitude. After several years, he'd gained her friendship, becoming a trusted confidant, as well as a lofty position as one of her most skilled spies.

He's never forgotten that it was only because she decided it that he's still alive, and he has made her continued reign his sole purpose in life. When he is not spending time with her or on a mission, he spends his days training his future replacements, knowing that one day he will leave the castle for the last time.

Background
Place of Birth: Lancaster
Family: An unknown nephew, John Morton, and a brother, Duncan Morton

History: Oliver is an orphan, found on the steps of Priory Church of St. Mary, along with his brother. He followed the teachings of the church until he came of age, being raised by the friars. Once he became an adult, he chose to pursue a career in academia, working as an apprentice in the royal library while learning everything he could. Finding that he had a gift for strategy and planning, becoming well known for his skill in chess. After a few years, his renown became such that the former queen arranged for him to become adviser to her husband.

While he helped the best he could, by the time he was able to gain serious clout in the court, they had passed the point of no return. Because of that, instead of trying to aid the king, Oliver began to turn his efforts to the young princesses, grooming the youngest to be the next queen. It would seem, though, that he had backed the wrong horse, as his prospective queen was not the one chosen to take the crown. No matter, he would simply make her one, no matter the cost.


Secrets:
Oliver lusts after the queen, and dreams of becoming her husband. He fears that she may not see him in that regard, though, because she has been around him for so long. Undeterred, he continues to subtly try to seduce her.

He is aware of his relation to Duncan, but refuses to disclose it, ashamed of both his brother's affiliation with the current queen and his brother's life of crime. He plans to take the secret to his grave, if necessary.

Has tried to assassinate the current queen, unsuccessfully, but was never suspected.

Friends: The Princess

Howard has always had to look up to everyone else... literally. He is the shortest grown man in all of England but he doesn't let that stop him from achieving his goals and dreams. He has a healthy six year old's body but with grown man muscle underneath. He's a small man but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a nice body... just have to give him a chance to show it off.

INTELLIGENCE LEVEL
Genius Level, Almost Einstein Level Intelligence


PERSONALITY TRAITS & FLAWS
Even though to the more judgmental people in the world, Harold looks like some unlucky abomination that should've been killed in the womb, he is actually a vital part of The Duke's Kingdom. His intelligence is by far the greatest in all of England. Being a sickly kid, he only had books and other mind growing activities around him and he could never go out and fight like the others kids. His brain capacity grew faster than the others, always choosing books over boobs... and sometimes he got both if he was lucky enough to not have to choose. Harold knows that his mind is a gift from God and he will never take it for granted, never showing off but always letting others know that he isn't some town fool or anything of that nature.

He is very humble and rarely speaks upon his own accomplishments and would rather give credit to people who don't deserve it, than to take the credit for himself in any and all situations. He is self-critical and it isn't something hard to figure out with just first meeting him. The things that have happened in his life have made him hate himself in many ways. He knows that he has a purpose on Earth but he beats down on himself more than anyone else can ever try to do. He's secretive about his own emotions and doesn't like to speak about his own problems, always keeping a giant smile on his face to hide the fear and sadness behind those green eyes.

Harold is deathly loyal and he will never betray someone that has been there for him. He would kill himself before he would go against The Duke, his loyalty will never falter and he will never go against The Rightful Heir. He is very fair and diplomatic and he'll usually be the one to make deals for the Duke... who can be a bit, obstinate. He has learned how to calm down tense situation without blood being spilled, from either parties. He is the peacemaker and doesn't fancy a good ol' duel to see who's stronger. He's a mind games type of guy and likes to use his brain over brute strength.

He might not think it but, Harold has a boyish charm about him and can be act younger than he appears. He can be very innocent and sometimes acts like a kid when he does get a chance to relax and not have to worry soo much. He isn't one to turn down a free drink either... which he should sometimes. He can be a bit flirtatious after a few drinks and his confidence is boosted when he drinks a lot. If he could just bring that confidence to the surface when he's sober, Harold would be an okay guy to have around.

FEARS
Letting The Duke down

Getting the Duke killed

Getting the Duchess killed

Dying

Fighting, physically

QUIRKS/HABITS
Harold has a twitch. When he gets frighten... his hands start to shake uncontrollably and they shake until he fully feels relaxed and not threaten by anything or anyone.

Harold is a Perfectionist when it comes to finishing anything, he has to make sure that every detail is just right and will stay up all night and day to fix something. It could be just a painting he drew or some speech The Duke had him look over... he'll pick things a part, piece by piece, until it's perfect to him.

Height: 6'4

Body type: Broad shoulders, muscular and athletic build.

Hair: Darker than the classic red, his hair is a color that is a gentler version of the auburn tone. This color has all of the rich red hue and none of the brown. Shoulder length wavy hair.

Eyes: Aedan has eyes that are green. The kind of green that pushes its way through the piles of gritty snow to remind you that spring is coming. They are almond shaped.

Skin: Pallid like the driven snow. Large scar across his chest.
Facial Features: Has a thin layer of red bristle that frames his jaw, covers his chin and the front of his throat.

Clothing style: Aedan dresses very practically. He's worn heavy plate mail before, but he prefers to be more maneuverable so he prefers a mixture of leather, scale mail or chainmail

Personality

Intelligence level: Highly intelligent, more so than he lets on. Most will only see him as philanderer, a fighter, a brute--and a quite a bit of a wise ass which downplays his intelligence. But that’s the way he likes it, the dumber you think he may be, it'll be like an arrow you never see coming.

Fears:

One thing Aedan really fears is the absence of freedom. Perhaps it's the long standing Celt in in him, but strip him of his freedom and you will have a very angry Aedan. Like an animal in a cage, he cherishes his freedom, and gives his time willingly especially to a lady of the court.

He isn't afraid of dying; through his travels as far as Greece, to Spain, France, Venice, Milan, Florence and finally to England he has encounter many hostiles and friends alike. Death is something he's forced himself to accept as part of being a knight. What bothers him is dying without the distinction of honor or virtue.

Quirks/habits:
  • Bites lip when he is in deep thought
  • Easily sunburnt
  • Hates bad handwriting
  • Has a distinct accent
  • Extremely sarcastic
  • Very good listener
  • Has a weakness for rescuing stray animals
  • Walks and stands with one hand, most often his right, behind his back

Skills/talents:
  • Swordsmanship
  • Penmanship (Again with the hallmarks of being privileged)
  • Reading (Which puts up a red flag that he is not a simpleton)
  • Persuasion (He can be very...articulate at times...)
  • Swimming (can even swim with his eyes open too)
  • Ambidextrous
  • Highly nimble
  • Good at hunting
  • Good with a bow
  • Jousting
  • Can identify numerous plants

Flaws

  • Aedan is a…bit of an alcoholic. (That’s putting it lightly)

  • Brawler- Loves to fight (Maybe a bit too much)

  • Philanderer- Loves to flirt (Again, maybe a bit too much)

  • Blunt- He can be very direct in manner or speech.

  • Bold- In a bad sense, too forward; taking undue liberties at times.

  • Impatient- At times, he is unable to wait patiently or tolerate delay; restless.

  • Impish- He can be naughtily or annoyingly playful.

  • Stubborn- Unreasonably, often perversely unyielding

  • Irish Temper- There's a reason they say someone who's downright scary when they are angry, must have a bit of Irish in them.

Merits

  • Code of Honor- He follows a strict personal code of ethics referred to as the Code of Chivalry.

  • Loyalty-Once devoted to a person, group, or cause, he can easily resist attempts to persuade him away from the object of his loyalty.

  • Self-Confidant- Aedan often displays a staggering amount of confidence even in the face of a grim situation. One would think him overly confident at times, but quite often, he has the moxy to back it up.

  • Iron-Will- Like a wild animal, he cannot be tamed.

  • Animal Magnetism- Others can be attract others through one's physical presence, bearing, energy, etc. Like a bee to nectar or a moth to a flame.

  • Daredevil- He loves to take risks, and is damn good at living through them.

  • Well-Traveled- From traveling through many countries, he is exceptionally knowledgeable of the ways of the world from his travels and studies.

  • Eidetic Memory- Having a "photographic" memory, you can accurately recall any sight or sound, smell or sense of touch from his memory with perfect clarity.

  • High Reaction- His sense of time in reacting to something is quite high. He can catch things thrown at him, or react to a change in his environment. This coupled with his extraordinary memory make him extremely perceptive.

Background

Place of Birth: Dublin, Ireland

Family:
Grandfather (Grand Duke) Gespard Coulter
Father(Maurquis): Tristan Coulter
Mother(Countess): Aislin Coulter

History: Formerly the son of an Irish Marquis, and Countess of the Coulter pedigree. Though not as high as a Duke, the Coulter name has been established since ancient Gaelic times mean that it is one of the oldest and unbroken family lines. Very well respected and revered. As a boy he loved dueling, hunting as well as falconry. As a child he was wild, and free. Always dreaming of adventures and as he grew into the Count of Athenry. At the age of 20 took part in the Lancastrian War, the third phase in the Anglo-French Hundred Years War. For seven years he fought, from 1446 to 1453 becoming renowned for both bravery and skill. He earned the moniker "The Red Count" for his shock of flowing red hair that often made him highly distinguishable even in the midst of combat.

In the closing days he was awarded many medals, but on the day he departed disaster struck when his ship was caught in a storm and sunk. All hands were thought to have been lost, but in reality Aedan had survived and been washed up in Germania. Germany at this time was under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire headed by Emperor Fredrick II. Fredrick however was not just Emperor of what remained of Roman Empire, he was also King of Southern Italy which was his chief concern as he had grown up there.

Two years would pass further solidifying the death Aedan "The Red Count". By all means he'd been isolated from his family, friends, fortunes and people. But it was not in Aedan's will to simply give up even in the magnitude of the situation of which he found himself. Germany at this time was left largely to it's own devices and was a collection of divided states rather than a uniform country. Still, there were dangers plenty for a man of his station. It took him the entirety of the two years to roam Germany, Italy, Naples, and Spain before leaving from France to England on a supply ship. But he couldn't merely waltz through France as he was--people often told tales about "The Red Count". Some where heartwarming, romantic--others he merely chuckled at himself over the absurdities and liberties taken to exaggerate him and his feats.

Aedan bought a suit of armor, with he winnings he'd earned in his journeys--often challenging warriors and other knights of other cultures. With a suit of armor, he boarded the ship to England, unawares he was about to be drawn into yet another war...
