PRINCESS ENDRETH AERYN (appears 28) Maya Hawk - TAKEN BY LIZZY Nationality: Freeholder/Vatonese Condition: Feyan/Wytch/Were/Vamp/Human-Hybrid/Terrakinesis/Kinetic Manipulation Position: Princess of Vatonis Alignment: Freehold/Vatonis Starting: Freehold Relationship(s): Emrys Aeryn (grandfather/council member), Aomon Aeryn (deceased father), Sybelle Aeryn (deceased mother), Aouine Aeryn, Miralas Aeryn, Islandriel Aeryn (sisters), Findon Aeryn (half-brother), Lada Koskei (stepmother/potential council member), Ziva Xirath (stepsister), Eramis Aeryn (uncle/potential council member), Andarne Aeryn, Ormond Aeryn (cousins), Vida Arion, Hestia Kokinos (best friends), Audun Marr (betrothed)

endreth knows well the pain of loss, but she’s more recently become acquianted with the pain of receiving

while her early childhood was idyllic, spent playing with her sisters amidst large pastoral landscapes...

her parents languidly basking in the summer sun, or splashing with them amidst the cool waters of the creek...

endreth recalls childhood as a vibrant adventure

but adult life has been nothing of the sort

first, endreth lost her mother – and with her, much of her father’s capacity for joy

next, she lost her home, surrendered to take up residence amidst the treacherous court of her grandfather the king of the fey

lastly, she would lose her father

but even before that, she received the notice of her grandfather and all his scheming, whispering court and their hateful words for her ‘muddied’ blood

she gained a new mother, too: someone she perceived as a grasping, cutting woman

and with LADA, unlooked-for siblings, as well, siblings with whom she cannot seem to get on, whatever she tries

she received, too, a claim she'd never fully considered, before, as her father’s child – particularly once he was gone

more recently, too, she’s received one more thing she hoped never to have (at least by another’s choosing!): a state-appointed fiancé

endreth barely knows her betrothed, but she has no intention of wedding whoever she’s told simply because she’s been told to

the tourney presents many harsh opportunities, but one highlight? if she wins, she can break her own engagement…

there's one more things endreth's got in her quiver -- a secret she dares share w but precious few: she's an informant for the rebels

she just doesn't happen to realize her betrothed is a rebel, too, since he rarely wears his own face to their secret sessions

endreth, and her full sisters, are a unique blending of bloodlines, uniting each of the birth-conditions this world offers

the unexpected result are powers unique to each: an elemental power for each of the girls, mingling with an additional ability

for her own part, endreth has manifested terrakinesis and kinetic manipulation

which comes in particularly handy w her penchant for the bow as her preferred weapon -- and tool -- of choice

PRINCESS MIRALAS AERYN (appears 31) Bella Heathcote - TAKEN BY KATE Status: Freeholder/Vatonese Condition: Feyan/Wytch/Were/Vamp/Human-Hybrid – Aerokinesis/Electrokinesis  Position: Princess of Vatonis Alignment: Freehold/Vatonis Starting: Freehold Relationship(s): Emrys Aeryn (grandfather/council member), Aomon Aeryn (deceased father), Sybelle Aeryn (deceased mother), Aouine Aeryn, Endreth Aeryn, Islandriel Aeryn (sisters), Findon Aeryn (half-brother), Lada Koskei (stepmother/potential council member), Ziva Xirath (stepsister/best friend), Eramis Aeryn (uncle/potential council member), Andarne Aeryn, Ormond Aeryn (cousins), Kresimir Koskei (betrothed), Magon Varinus (interest)

miralas' mother was an incredible woman

sybelle’s life began in poverty and pain

the illegitimate daughter of a human/vamp-hybrid who had been abandoned by her wytch/were-hybrid lover

sybelle and her family (for she was a twin) knew want more often than not and survived on scraps

finally escaping dorrain and into the freehold

this life wasn’t much better

but at least they could plant seeds and watch them grow and eat of their fruit rather than begging in the streets

still, their peace was not to last when the last tourney began

sybelle and her twin brother were each carried off

and, defiantly for the scrying glasses, sybelle wright appended what she believed to be her father’s surname to her own

becoming sybelle vyrun-wright and thus earning herself a great deal of controversy – and attention

sybelle was determined to make the most of whatever came her way amidst these dire games

praying that her family could live upon her earnings when the fighting was done – provided any of them survived

whatever happened, sybelle refused to give up hope

sybelle worked her way up, winning acclaim with her quick wit and warm heart

and ultimately being awarded a high position in the ranks of those who had pressed her into service, the fey

it was prince aomon who first saw her potential, naming her one of his advisors

yet, as they came to know one another, their closeness grew from prince and advisor to something much more meaningful

sybelle had one more great shock in store for the ruling elite

in the sight of all, before the scrying glasses of the tourney, aomon took sybelle to wife

elevating a bastard hybrid, who once had lived on the streets, to princess of vatonis

his family, along with the rest of the elite world, was shocked and horrified, but the commons cheered them and called it a fairy tale

and sybelle could not have agreed more

though his family did all in their power to separate them, the young couple refused every temptation and every hardship, alike

staying by each other’s side and joyfully starting a family together

it was this family, however, it is said, that was ultimately to end their wedded bliss, however

shortly after the birth of their last child, sybelle died

while complications from the birth are generally sited, there are those who claim that poison is, in truth, to blame

like the rest of her family, miralas has never quite recovered

losing both her parents, her home, her life – it's all been difficult on its own

but the pain of loss is one that everyone with an open heart must endure, she reminds herself

more difficult to bear with equanimity are the changes that have come out of those losses:

the constant scheming of courtiers all around her, the sudden rain of hatred and dissent owing to her "muddied" blood

a new mother who she fears seems only to judge and to despise

and new siblings who, too often, seem to take after her

most recently of all: an arranged betrothal to a rather severe stranger

miralas does all she can to see what’s most beautiful in others,

but the truth is that espying any beauty whatever in him has come hard-won

and, now, being pressed into the tourney, such beauties are even harder to see

for she is not at all certain that, betrothed or no, this is a man she can depend upon or trust with her life

or the lives of her sisters…

still, she has built her life around always trying to do the right thing and, if this marriage is the right thing for everyone then...

well, she means to go through w it

and the tourney for that matter, too, though in her heart of hearts she cannot stand the idea of it

deep down, all miralas truly wants is to return to the beautiful, idyllic ideal she once shared w her parents and sisters

at least being forced in the tourney will mean she can go back to the place where she was born and raised...

and, besides, she has a small rebellion of her own in mind

being forced into the tourney doesn't mean she has to act as an aggressor -- she means to prove a healer, instead

and, as a person capable of summoning storms, she hopes she has all the tools she needs

a storm, after all, is just the messenger of peace to come...

PRINCESS ISLANDRIEL AERYN (appears 29) Elle Fanning - TAKEN BY LAUREN Nationality: Freeholder/Vatonese Condition: Feyan/Wytch/Were/Vamp/Human-Hybrid – Pyrokinesis/Deathtouch Position: Princess of Vatonis  Alignment: Freehold/Vatonis Starting: Freehold Relationship(s): Emrys Aeryn (grandfather/council member), Aomon Aeryn (deceased father), Sybelle Aeryn (deceased mother), Aouine Aeryn, Endreth Aeryn, Miralas Aeryn (sisters), Findon Aeryn (half-brother), Lada Koskei (stepmother/potential council member), Ziva Xirath (stepsister), Eramis Aeryn (uncle/potential council member), Andarne Aeryn, Ormond Aeryn (cousins), Vida Arion (best friend), Adalet Atamon (believed deceased best friend), Kresimir Koskei (interest)

islandriel sometimes laughs that she is, indeed, a princess of ivory – she cannot be touched

yet, this is no haughty claim of superiority when it comes to islandriel but, rather, an admission of weakness

islandriel, it is said, is cursed

while it took some time for the curse to show itself, she learned too late, and too terribly, just which power was in her multi-hybrid-blood

islandriel was a soul-stealer

her touch is lethal

while all her sisters had received betrothals when they came of age, islandriel, alone, had proven lucky in hers

soon enough coming to share a tender love with her future husband

yet, their love was doomed

the very first time his lips brushed hers, her flame scoured him, burning him from inside out, and leaving him dead at her feet

since that time, islandriel has not dared to touch another living soul for fear of the horrid end they might meet

now, though, faced with the games and those who would steal what little she and her sisters have left...

perhaps now it is time to unleash her curse against all those who would stand against them…

her betrothed has been some time dead, its true, but she will never forget him, or the life they planned together

their dream was to see the world set to rights, and now she’s hellbent on seeing that through both for him and for herself

PRINCE FINDON AERYN (appears 26) Tom Glynn-Carney - OPEN  Status: Vatonese Condition: Feyan/Vamp-Hybrid (aerokinesis) Position: Prince of Vatonis Alignment: Vatonis Starting: Freehold Relationship(s): Emrys Aeryn (grandfather/council member), Aomon Aeryn (deceased father), Lada Koskei (mother/potential council member), Aouine Aeryn, Endreth Aeryn, Miralas Aeryn, Islandriel Aeryn (half-sisters), Ziva Xirath (half-sister), Eramis Aeryn (uncle/potential council member), Andarne Aeryn, Ormond Aeryn (cousins), Hanno Turinus (former best friend), Audun Marr (mentor/best friend), Hestia Kokinos (potential spouse/interest)

findon knows what's expected of him

since birth, it's been clear to him that he must lay claim to his father's position as heir to emrys aeryn

ideally as both king and high king -- but certainly as one or the other

his mother has raised him in no uncertainty upon the matter: his safety, and that of his entire family, rests upon it

nonetheless, having watched his father's sudden and shocking murder, findon can't help but find himself shaken in this certainty

it certainly didn't protect aomon, the mighty, renowned hero-prince who stood to inherit both thrones, just as emrys had before him

but the truth is, afraid as he is, findon wants it, was raised to want it

he's never considered another option anything but failure, and can't seem to lose the notion now

using both his mother's contacts as well as his father's, he's coming into this grand event with his eye on the prize

and, true, for the first time in his life, his resolve may be beginning to crack -- but it remains far from broken

he wants the throne of his fathers, to finally prove himself worthy of his father's love and respect

aomon was a good father and a better man, after all -- he sought to conceal the truth, and findon knows that

but he couldn't help but perceive the terrible truth that, bc sybelle had been the woman he loved, aomon preferred his daughters

to him

it's always been an ache inside him, but proving himself? doing what his father could not and ruling vatonis? well, surely, that'll heal it

whatever his uncle and cousins may try to say -- the crown was his father's by rights, and w him gone, he regards it as squarely his own

findon believes his mother intends to rule through him

and he's more or less content to let her believe that he's amenable to that, while its helping get him places as she helps him scheme

but the truth is that no one -- not his mother, and certainly not his ill-blooded half-sisters -- are coming between him and his throne!

still, w so many rival claimants, findon isn't blind to the certainty that he must work extra hard to sure up his position

his favorite such scheme? courting HESTIA KOKINOS

he believes it would help him politically, given she's sybil to iliam and, thus, could conceivably help sway the imperator's support to findon

but also because...the truth is, he's fancied her from the first day they met

smth in her makes him feel alive in a way he never has, before, and he can't help but want to be around her

unfortunately for the prince, however, hestia seems decidedly less intrigued

PRINCE ERAMIS AERYN (appears 34) Lee Pace - OPEN  Nationality: Vatonese Condition: Feyan (terrakinesis) Position: Prince of Vatonis Alignment: Vatonis/Self Starting: Freehold Relationship(s): Emrys Aeryn (father/council member), Aomon Aeryn (deceased brother), Andarne Aeryn, Ormond Aeryn (sons), Aouine Aeryn, Endreth Aeryn, Miralas Aeryn, Islandriel Aeryn, Findon Aeryn (niblings/rivals), Lada Koskei (rival/former sister-in-law/potential council member/interest), Cassian Asciam (best friend), Runar Solberg (former best friend), Kyore Floros (deceased interest)

eramis may love his nieces, but he doesn't for a moment believe they're fit to rule vatonis

the fact is that aomon, in his radical confusion, allowed the poor things to grow up country bumpkins

and that's without even touching on the matter of their disreputable bloodlines on their mother's side

besides, as far as he can tell, not a one of them seems to want to rule, and he can't imagine anyone forced into a role will flourish there

no, far better that they be bypassed when it comes to the succession

and FINDON? a sweet boy, to be sure, but no one could take him for king material! no, no, it must be eramis or else his son as future king

no other

eramis has always been ambitious, it is true enough

does this come out of a genuine wish to serve the realm and the greater good? yes!

does it also come out of a self-serving and self-aggrandizing nature? also yes!

both things can be true and, in this man, the two impulses most certainly are blended!

to this end, eramis is constantly seeking three things

first, positions and situations in which he can prove both his own and his sons' ability to lead

second, unfortunately, positions and situations to further discredit all of his niblings in this same capacity

and, finally -- and perhaps most pressingly -- alliances to to help prop up his claim as well as those of his boys

any and all alliances are most assuredly welcomed, but those he views as most pressing at present are marriages for all three

those being most permanent and also promising to provide yet further heirs

after all, an heir with heirs of his own is far more promising than one without -- who wants to start at square one again w a succession?

and where better to achieve each and every single one of these ends than by attending the summit

and ultimately pressing his sons into fighting in the tourney to come?

soon enough, he has no doubt, they will have proved themselves an unstoppable force for the good of their entire country...

step one: get himself a seat at the council

he is, after all, the only surviving child of emrys aeryn, king of vatonis and high king of arnoria
