[/img][/center]~*The Basics*~

Occupation: Queen of Noctos
~*The Looking Glass*~
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 153 lb
Hair Color: n/a
Eye Color: gold
Fur/Scale/Feather Color: pearlescent
Physical Appearance: A tall, sleek young dragoness, Rhiannon is the epitome of regal standing. With her head held high on a long, gracefully curved neck, she surveys her surroundings with rich gold eyes and a soft, understanding smile. She has nigh perfect posture and her tail curves down to rest on the ground and curl around her feet. Like anyone in their world, she stands digigrade. Rhiannon's scales are smooth and almost snake-like with a soft, reflective color much like a shined pearl. It gives her an almost glowing appearance in certain light, and especially under the moon. A pair of long horns arch back from her brow.
It is not surprising to see her wearing long dresses with split sleeves, and a simple circlet with an amber charm serves as her crown, matching a simple pendant that hangs about her neck. she normally dresses in blues and whites, the colors of her kingdom, and tends more toward the elegant. She does have clothes she wears for riding, as she does occasionally like to ride on hunts with her paladins. It is extremely rare for her to look severe or angry and is usually seen smiling.
~*What Is*~
Likes: The crisp, cool taste of starfruit. The reflection of the moon off Castle Selene. Hearing children play in the market streets. Any opportunity to get out of the castle, especially if she's hunting. The smell of the world after a good rainfall. The sound of rain hitting the window of her room.
Dislikes: The smell of a destructive fire. Having to get angry. Those who may threaten the sanctity and safety of her kingdom. The beasts of the Afterdark. Dealing with constant threats from King Lugh of Diurn. Very hot summers.
Strengths: Just and fair. Regal and poised. Intelligent and knowledgeable in the ways of her ancestors. Willing to listen to and consider all sides of an argument. steadfast, passionate, and loyal.
Weaknesses: Her care for her people, as she considers a threat to them a thread to the kingdom as a whole. Her youth, as it sometimes makes those in the high council doubt her ability to rule. Her inclination toward curiosity. The fact that she would gladly give her life if it meant her kingdom may thrive. She always seems to forget to remember to be afraid when she should be.
Dreams: To see the Long War end, so that the kingdoms of Diurn and Noctos may again be at peace. To provide her kingdom with a strong heir out of a union she is agreeable with. To see the Afterdark vanquished, and the threat it creates to Edeas ended.
Fears: That the Afterdark will succeed and bring darkness to the world. That the Long War will not end in her lifetime. Her kingdom crumbling, despite her best efforts to keep this from happening.
Personality: A charming, witty young woman, Rhiannon is one of the most beloved queens in the history of Noctos, and yet, at the same time the most troubled. Despite a fair and forgiving nature and a just ear, she is considered too young to hold so much responsibility by the High Council. Despite this, she works endlessly to maintain the sanctity of her kingdom and is always willing to fight to protect her people should the need arise. She has a pleasant sense of humor and enjoys the company of others.
In matters of state, Rhiannon is just and fair. She will always listen to both sides of an argument placed before her in order to determine the best course of action, and will always try to judge as fairly as possible to achieve the most agreeable outcome for both parties in a dispute. In dealing with spies and those who would bring unrest to her people, she is stern and cool. There is no room for such idiocy in her mind, and though she does not believe in public execution, those who have tried to sully her kingdom in one way or another have often found themselves spending the rest of their days in the dungeon. She uses this as a last resort, however, and despite misgivings will often give a subject one chance to redeem themselves.
A fond lover of being near others, Rhiannon is not at home in the walls over her castle. More often than not, she enjoys being among her people, playing with the children, and listening to her paladins tell stories. She does her best to see to it that there are as few poor and homeless in her city as she can and will always reach out a helping hand to those in need. She encourages her paladins to do the same. There are some that have said that she is more likely to choose a husband from the commoner class than from the noble class in the kingdom.
Despite how she appears, Rhiannon is sometimes troubled by worries. She is concerned that she will not be able to live up to the expectations of her people, or to protect them from those that may threaten them from outside or within. She hides this with a smile, however, and only the closest of the order has ever seen her so emotionally unguarded.
~*What Has Been*~
Father: King Arma Milar
Mother: Queen Awu Milar
Siblings: none
Defining Events: (if any)
History: Rhiannon, destined to one day rule Noctos as its queen, first broke her shell to King Arma and Queen Awu Milar on a cold, moonlit winter night shortly before the Winter Solstice. considered a good omen, the newly hatched princess was given a blessed name and announced to the kingdom as a princess of good fortune. Many rejoiced, as despite their age, the king and queen had no heirs and despite being a daughter, Rhiannon would be able to take over the throne when the time came.
The young dragoness grew well in the company of the noble children nearby, always most at ease when around others. She learned her history and the arts of combat and became the sort of just, fair person others are more apt to follow. Her father saw this as a good quality and allowed her to go hunting with the paladins when the mood struck her. Being around the paladins left a lasting impression on her and them; she wanted nothing more than to see to it that her people could enjoy this kind of prosperity for all time. It was here that she met Sir Donovan and his squire, a young unicorn named Asher, and she much enjoyed their company.
When Rhiannon was 17, the kingdom endured one of many attacks from the dastardly Afterdark. Her parents were killed, though Rhiannon herself survived by stealing away to the dungeon despite her father's urging her to stay with them. At this young age, she was forced to take the throne and begin making decisions she herself felt she was not ready to make. Despite this, she took the reins to the best of her ability and began working toward a new, more peaceful future for her people. This included overseeing the ceremony in which Sir Donovan retired as a lord to the noble quarter with his wife and children, and knighting young Asher when he came of age just a few years after her rise to the throne, making him the head of her paladins.
Since that time, she has become a much beloved queen and has striven to make sure her people can always rely on her.
