Standing at an absolutely average 5’5, although short for her lineage, Aleandra has light skin to suit the tone of her ethnic background. With blonde hair lighter than the usual psudo-gold, partially braided down the back under most circumstances, and her hazel-gold eyes, she seems to fit the characteristics of Tromani in most aspects. She has a bit of a medium build to herself, keeping herself to those physical standards.Her generic combat clothing is seen in the photo above, with her armor being varied and mostly being put straight over that outfit.
More casually, that outfit is the general basis of what she wears, changing depending on necessity. She usually wears sleeveless tops with detached sleeves, sometimes meshing with gloves and sometimes with separate, and tries to find a balance between elegance and combat practicality. Without gloves, she usually wears an assortment of rings of various styles. She has a golden sword-pendant she wears at all time, a small protection charm she says.

On the outside, Aleandra has the characteristics of a relatively reserved perfectionist. She’s highly critical of other people's performances and attitude, much more in her own. Despite being born into power, she has little to no respect to people who believe that they deserve power simply due to lineage. She has the strong belief that people need earn their inheritance by contributing to the legacy of their parents or upholding the standards given to them by their name.
She has high standards for herself for several reasons. Her own personal drive to keep up her family name. Her parents having high standards since her childhood. Her kingdom being relatively young. A lot of it stems from trying not to bring disgrace to her family, her house words giving her the spirit to uphold. That interpretation, along with her parents early teachings about respect being earned, is something she constantly says to her to keep that attitude. “Ever Diligent, Mask Up.”
The last part of her small little motto is her own personal reminder. It’s a bit more than just creating her own honor by following in her parents legacy, it’s a reminder that her internal feelings should come a bit after her attitude of perfection. That’s where the ‘reserved’ part comes in, she tries to hold back a lot for the sake of seeming more eloquent and precise, also attempting to keep up the attitude of diplomacy which comes with heritage.
On the inside, Aleandra has some issues not keeping up to par with most of her skills. Anything less than perfection creates an internal anger she has for herself. She already experiences this quite a bit, seeing other people gifted in certain aspects and constantly comparing herself to that. She has a lot of willpower to snap herself out of it, though tends to distance herself from everyone else to give herself that moment to calm down and relieve her stress. This usually happens only after a highly ‘disappointing’ performance or something along those lines. That being said, she’s a bit uncharacteristically aggressive for her family, under the mask at least.
Aleandra speaks up her mind, however, willing to speak up to her peers about her feelings on the nobility or others. Being one of the key things she sees in nobility, she’s honest to people’s faces whenever she hears or sees something that she doesn’t like, although does ask before hand under most circumstances. Most. The moment she doesn't means one of two things. One, she’s being casual enough around the people she’s talking to. Or two, she’s getting really irritated. She may step out of line on the account that she’s just human.
Beyond all that, Aleandra can be friendly and casual like anyone else. Of course, not while she’s trying to be all too professional and whatnot, but she can lighten up to other people if more than possible. She wants to, she truly wants to get close to people either within her house or within the other kingdoms, though morals first for her. And that tends to screw her over many times.

Aleandra was the second born out of the four children. One older brother and then the younger twins. Being second to the throne behind her brother didn’t inhibit her, as her parents made it pretty clear to all of them their key intent. They taught the four that despite them being born into the royal bloodline, none of them truly deserved the throne to be inherited. At least, not of yet. Since her younger years, they made it a point to properly educate the four siblings in etiquette and general studies. This didn’t entirely prevent them from being treated as royals by those below, they were just taught in the pride of nobility.
So there started the idea which they had to learn their place in life, whether that through skills, learning, or simply impressive standing from the children’s outward appearances. The King and Queen were strict, however, in making sure they learned proper behavior, and in respecting all forms of nobility. Aleandra had a bit different interpretation of this from her childhood.
Somewhat seeing her older brother take some favor from her parents due to him being the first born, and the twins being much younger, Aleandra took some offence to this. He was given some more lessons with less strict lessons in morality, given more travel time, etc. The two weren't as heavy when it came to standards as they were pretty young. Her response to that? A slight inferiority complex in reference to most of her academics and relations, somewhat shifting her attitude. She pushed herself pretty hard, and tried to keep up the honorable mask.
Despite what she thought about her parents, they gave the four a deal. When they grew up and were to inherit the land, whoever was the best suited would become ruler. That may have amplified Aleandra’s constant desires to become better than she was at the time. It was when she was twelve when she was presented with that deal, already given some classes on swordsmanship, and the past four years have been her trying to get ahead and above her siblings.

Firstly, Aleandra wishes to carry herself with the same honor and legacy as her parents hold. Comparatively to her siblings, and with her parents deal to the four, Aleandra wishes to top them all. She is driven by that deal they gave, trying to the the best that she possibly can be, willingly entering the academy with high standards in mind and hoping that this would boost her standing.

Diplomacy: ”Diplomacy is always the best way to go through with interactions with other nations and nobility. It gives a respectable art to talking out large problems, and historically has worked countless times in bringing people together. It’s the best way to create bonds between people which keep them unified through the test of time and circumstances. History and my parents made a great point about diplomacy and I intend to keep it.”
Faith: ”There aren’t too many visible applications for belief in religion other than keeping up physical appearances within the people. I do suppose that unification under religion creates some forms of unity, and that is to be appreciated. Learning about religious history is also interesting."
Intrigue: ”People all have different quirks and things that make them tick. While I’m personally interested, to an extent, it has a huge application for Royalty and understanding people’s true intent. It does help with politics. I would like to learn more about the art of people, as being able to understand subtle hints is prevalent in any strong ruler..”
Magic: ”The Magics have always interested me, it has many applications and should be taught to us Royals to give us another level of skill. There’s a lot of respect you can give to basically any King or Queen who can give off an air of perfection, Magic is just another application of that. It seems so elegant, so powerful, majestic, all qualities of a proper upperclassman and even more in nobility. While I currently own no magical items, It’s a bit of a dream of mine of owning a slightly imbued sword.”
Martial: ”The art of combat has always been a key part of any ruler. Being able to defend yourself is beyond important for the obvious reasons. I enjoy the art of swordfighting and if I can help it, I would like to defend myself from monsters or invasions. My parents did have me educated in wielding a sword. On top of that, if you want to be a proper ruler, why would you ignore being well versed in combat? Your generals or high commanders may have the tactics and knowledge to rule your army or defense forces, but you’d be a fool to keep that power only in their hands. Knowing when to replace them also helps.”
Stewardship: ”While not entirely my strong suit, mathematics and finance is important. In the long run, it will indeed help the kingdom become stronger as its allies have. I strive for success in every aspect that will keep up my family’s legacy.”

Ser Calisone: Aleandra’s primary guardian, a man about 5’9 and in his thirties with brown hair and well kept facial hair. One of his main duties other than protecting Aleandra’s well being is bringing along her rapier and gauntlets in the event she needs to defend herself past his own capabilities. His second is keeping Aleandra out of some trouble she might get herself into through aggravation to some other royals or by pushing herself too hard physically.
Valera and Synce: Two maids which attend to Aleandra in most general categories. 17 and 21 respectively, both are sisters to each other. Both of them were brought into her house as maids a few years back, and Aleandra has had their assistance in adhering to the high standards she puts up for her own physical appearance.

Prince Brendan - TBD, though since they’re from neighboring kingdoms (?), they might have had some relations. Aleandra might not like him too much though.
I think I'm good here! @Gowi If you've got anything you think I need to edit, I'm on discord. Yeah, she seems slightly divergent on what you gave me information wise, though given how vague it was I enjoyed designing her.
