That doesn't help me much. Is your family high up in power @agentmanatee? If not, then my question will be answered.

Jealousy (Of her brother)

Lady Elyana Wylde [+]

Lady Elyana Wylde (née Vypren) / Female / 25

"Just because I carry no sword or shoot no arrow does not mean I am not dangerous. It just means I have more clever ways to dispatch those who oppose me."

Appearance

Elyana has long, dark brown hair that falls to her hips, much like her mother's. She has blue eyes from her father and a fair complexion. She stands at 5'10, just shy of her twin brother. She weighs 120 lbs and has a petite, ladylike frame. Elyana is not scarred or blemished as she has not had formal combat training. Having been raised and brought up to respect appearance, Elyana looks and dresses like a lady at all times, wearing dresses and gowns whenever in public, and house dresses when in her own home. She has been known to dress more comfortably when not in the presence of others. She wears make-up in basic shades of red and pink and fine powders. Her favorite color is pink and has been known to wear that color often.

Personality

Elyana enjoys her lifestyle and portrays the values placed upon her by her parents. Through training, schooling, and lessons, Elyana has been taught a wide variety of subjects from social graces to history to mathematics. Elyana is very bright and shows her lessons off proudly.

Unlike her brother, Elyana doesn't display a heated temperament, preferring to remain cool under pressure. She believes a clear mind is more useful than brawn to overcoming hard situations. Due to this, Elyana is very persuasive and has a conniving side to her, as evident to her convincing her father, along with John's efforts, to her marrying him instead of being married off to a higher standing family. Elyana, also due to her upbringing, can be snobbish, but she makes an effort to not appear so and to respect the fact her family has what they have. She is proud to be part of the Vypren family.

Elyana is headstrong and determined in whatever she has her heart set on. She is a little jealous of her brother and his taking over the household despite her being older (even by a few minutes). She has had the idea of learning how to sword fight, but her father squashed her hopes of learning to do so at a younger age.

Biography

Elyana is the daughter of Lord Lucias Vypren and Lady Lythene Frey, birthed around 273 AC

Elyana's parents, having sent her brother off to be trained by Lord John Mallister, they took it upon themselves to train Elyana to be a lady and eventual wife to someone of higher power to cross ties and cement alliances. Through training, Elyana learned a variety of subjects. Her tutors enjoyed working with Elyana as she put up minimal fuss while learning, except the occasional act of rebellion when she wanted to do something fun. Elyana took her social classes to heart as it made her mother happy.

As she got older, she began to realize how political standings worked and how important it was to act and behave a certain way. She didn't want for much, but whatever she did want she would ask her father and, in an attempt to keep her happy in her studies, her father would give it to her. She enjoyed this small source of power over her father and used it to get further into her studies, studying different subjects that weren't normal for ladies of her station.

It was during this time she met John Wylde, who was serving under Lord Frey. As he was visiting, Elyana began talking with the young man and found herself enjoying his company greatly. Partially due to boredom from having no one to talk to her own age (as her brother was off doing his own thing), but mainly due to her fondness for the man, they struck a quick friendship, but was cut away as John was relieved of his situation with Lord Frey.

Her father continued to try and find a suitable man for his daughter to marry. With a few notable prospects in the horizon, Elyana found herself
worried about what she would be getting into. While she wanted to make her parents happy, she didn't want to marry some man just so she could keep alliances and have children. She thought of John again, and wished for a change. She was presented to the various families that her father wanted to align himself with and she found each of the men presented to her to be unbearable, rude, and just plain boring. She used whatever ounce of power she had to get her father to change his mind about these men and to wait, just a bit longer, for her marriage to the right person. Her father, hesitantly, accepted.

A tournament was to be held by house Tully and her family was invited to attend. Elyana enjoyed seeing tournaments as she has wanted to learn sword combat, but was shot down by her father (the one instance she couldn't get him to budge on). She was enjoying herself when she ran into none other than John Wylde again. Excited to see him again, she hatched a plan to relieve herself of this situation of marrying someone she couldn't stand, and proposed to John to ask for her hand in marriage. Knowing full well that John was not part of a family her father would have chosen, she decided to use whatever pull she could to get him to accept.

As the tournament went on, Elyana continuously praised John's efforts in the tournament, telling her father he was a loyal man, strong, determined, and would make a good husband and father and one that would carry whatever title he earned with pride. Though her father was hesitant, John ended up winning the tournament. Elyana then told her father that she felt John was an ideal partner for her. Her father, both amazed by John's talent and by his daughter's persuasion, agreed to the marriage. A year later, they held a wedding and the two were married. Elyana was happy she was with a man she cared about and, with time, realized she loved. Shortly after, Elyana gave birth to a son, named Rickard. She stands with her family in their values as war was on the horizon.
