Re: Another Kingdom Congrats Sign-Up
UN: Faelivrin
Family Name: Trahaearn
DW: Lady Paiva Katrin [Maric] (25)
DH: Lord Aneirin [Neirin] Ivor (30)
Status: NobleAneirin had never thought he would marry Paiva, a woman descended from the nomads who attacked Kriana. He had loved another lady before conflict broke out in the north of the country, where he had lived his entire childhood. He had no choice but to go to war and assist his country in expelling the invaders, and he became captain of a regiment of fighting men and women. He met his future wife halfway through the war. A group of refugees had come to a hidden encampment seeking shelter from recent attacks, and the icy Paiva was among them. He admired her hardy spirit, and did not judge her by her ancestry. Surprised by his attitude, she accepted his hospitality and kindness, and the two eventually became friends. When Aneirin learned his beloved was killed, his friendship with Paiva was his only source of comfort. After the war, his heart turned to her, and they were wed in spite of her low social standing.Paiva is a strong-willed woman with a reputation for having a rather stern, cold demeanor. Hard times had produced a hard person. Her father was a native of Kriana, but her mother was a northern nomad. As a result, they were looked down upon by many members of the community, who viewed the nomads as wicked savages. Moreover, her family was not very wealthy, though they owned a small share of land. When she was six, Paiva's mother died giving birth to her younger sister. After the war, she was the only surviving member of her family. Paiva has never felt comfortable among the other nobles due to her ancestry and upbringing. Nor does she know whether to embrace her heritage or shun it completely.Neirin is the near-opposite of Paiva; he was born into a minor noble house and never went long without ample food and money. He is open, amiable, and lively, and trusts others easily -- perhaps even a little too much. Though he found happiness in the days following the War of Rebellion, his memory is still plagued by the carnage; the right hand he lost serves as a more physical reminder of those days.In spite of their differences, however, Paiva and Aneirin have managed to form a trusting and loving partnership. Paiva possesses a minor amount of magical ability.
