Name: Countess Aldriona Larkwing
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Current Age: 25
Looks: Medium height, long dark hair, dark brown eyes, slender and delicate build.
Place of Residence: Larkwood Falls
Place of Birth: Larkwood Falls
Relatives: No close family left alive, said to be distant relative of the royal family.
Friends: No publicly known onees
Occupation: Ruler of the Larkwood region
Weapon of choice: Has recieved training with both sword and bow, but only basics.
Likes: Aldriona loves her home, towards which she feels a great deal of responsibility. On a smaller scale, she's said to be very fond of cats and her rose garden.
Dislikes: Being looked down upon for being a woman, anyone who would try to control her or her life.
Hobbies: In her free time she is known to enjoy walks in the countryside, tending to her garden and spending time in her library.
Flaws: Once she has decided on an opinion she tends to hold on to it for longer than might be reasonable, one might also argue that she has a bit too much of a dislike for the non-human races even though there are few of them present in the Larkwood region.
Personality: In a world where most women are expected to be soft, timid and withdrawn Aldriona can some times shock. Being the only child of her father, she was brought up to be his successor even though she happened to be a girl. Besides being taught typically female things like sewing and music, it wasn't unusual for her to be brought along hunting or taught how to fight with a sword. From an early age he taught her to not back down and never let people try to take from her what's rightfully hers. A Larkwing is proud and loyal to his or her people. While nobility comes with rights, it bring even more responsibilities. All this she took to heart and uses to guide her life now that she has taken her father's place as head of the region.
History: Aldriona's mother died at her birth and she was brought up by her father instead. He decided that even though she wasn't a boy she would inherit his title and from an early age he started training her for this. Her childhood might have seemed odd to an outsider, but she was happy and she loved her father immensely.
A few years ago her father fell ill. Even while tending to him she gradually also started to take over his work for him. The transition was seamless and the day he finally died it seemed natural to most that she should continue. Of course, not everyone of the region is happy with a female ruler but there has yet to be any proper attempts to remove her from power.
