But her position among other suitors stood out on her amount of practical intelligence and driven demeanor to sort things out to her best advantage. She is sharply manipulative, many nobles of the more compassionate manner find her to sleeker than snake oil amongst many her own age. They rumor her to be the shadow of her father with the flirtatious whims of her mother, with her humbleness only before her mentors the gods themselves. On behalf of her parents lineage and her own crafted obsession to weed out her fellow peers, Lydium is satisfied with her position as the rumored woman for Amenoten. She finds that her independent, brazen attitude has caught the respect and curiosity of Amenoten, and found him speaking with her in private settings as a means to cut the formalities between them. With the way her mother and aunts advise her how to court the future pharaoh and his mother’s approval, it’s only a matter of time before she usurps the kingdom’s power. [h3]Education[/h3] Lydium, as the daughter of a general, can speak several languages that are relevant to the Egyptian kingdom. She is well versed from having foreigners as tutors so that in future settings she may understand the language of enemies or allying societies who live on the outer limits of the kingdom. Her mother bestowed her a strong interest in musical instruments which Lydium has also made a sinister focus of her perfectionist attitude. The art of public speaking came to be another of her strongest attributes, something that takes a plain woman like Lydium and lets the words become an attractive quality amongst others. She has an in-depth understanding of the gods and their history, but math, geography, physical sciences, and visual arts bring out her most impatient tantrums to grasp them. [color=red][h2]Interests[/h2][/color] Political parties, musical recitals, Egyptian boardgames, philosophical and religious gatherings, and the rumors and traveling gossip amongst the noble families. Sometimes her brothers will take her out to go fishing for vocational sport by the Nile. Lydium finds a keen love and obsessive desire to perform and memorize the rituals for the Egyptian deities, in hopes to call upon their power herself. This is keenly narcissistic and a oversight of her own authority to have them answer her desires. Perhaps a lesser god will give her the opportunity of power she is looking for though…? [h3]Immediate Family[/h3] Lydium was raised under the confines of a prestigious mother and father. She understood this power they had among others at a tender age, and under the tutoring of the women in her family, grew to become a clever presentation of a noble Egyptian woman. Lydium grew up in the home of five sons, being the youngest child and the only daughter. Many of her brothers followed in their father’s footsteps, leading on to lifestyles within military commands or like their uncles, residing over a political form of responsibility. She has a close bond with her mother and aunts, though the jealousy stricken amongst herself and her cousins can drive a dramatic amount of betrayal or deceit amongst them.[/center]
