[h3]Background:[/h3]
[list]Backstory: Vestele Loralen is not the kind of person you would expect in the white court.  Although she is reasonably young by elga standards, Vestele hasn't known much of a life beyond that of a steppe nomad though she definitely enjoyed her experiences in the capital when she did have an actual roof over her head rather than a tent.

When civil war broke out, Vestele happened to be in the capital with a trading expedition though her clan rallied to Orrian Corfina's banner and Vestele quietly ducked out of the city before anyone could arrest her, joining the train of the mustering army and following it when it set off to meet the Eastern Imperial forces at Lysfelt.

Lysfelt was a great victory for Western forces and the celebrations afterwards were raucous and involved a lot of alcohol.  Vestele blames the alcohol for it, but at some point in the celebrations she was caught [i]in flagrante[/i] with one of the Prince of Usantaka's retinue - a human.  The scandal was enormous and Vestele was exiled from the clan.

Realising her fortunes in the West were ruined and she would be received with suspicion in the East, Vestele decided to take off for Trefgodwig, rationalising that Andronika Hasikos would be quite keen to enlist an elgakvinne into her retinue.  Vestele's calculations paid off and since making the journey she has made the most of the creature comforts afforded to being in the inner circle of a Pretender.  Andronika, however, expects a bit more from Vestele than simply being her pet elgakvinne.  Rather, Andronika imagines that Vestele will prove a useful diplomat when it inevitably comes to negotiating with one of the Corfina brothers...
