Major Life events Lilura's parents were killed by the Imperial Army in the Great Territory War some 13 years ago, when Lilura was 11. They left the Shadow Hand to Lilura, and whomever she may marry, and ordered her to pass it down to her children, and them to theirs and so on.
History Lilura has always been a traveller, a gypsy. She was never shown how to use her magika until her parents' passing, since they forbid it. No-one agreed with the elder Maeves' ruling, but had to follow it anyway. Lilura was the first to break this ruling, and show that magika is an important part of gypsy life. It is also a great defense. At 14, Lilura became infatuated with horses. She was given her first stallion as a foal when she was 12, after it was born from her parent's horses, but never took a love to them. But Juniper soon became her best friend, and so they grew together. Lilura took on to learning riding and breeding and care of horses, and earned her place as the matriarch. She was also taught self-defense and combat by a link in the city.
Her brother; a street beggar in the town's residential area, was very skilled in this kind of thing, as well as stealth and lock-picking. Lilura learned her skills from him. Xanthus was banned from the clan after attempted treason to the Matriarch - their mother. Now, at 23, Lilura is a well respected and feared woman, adored and hated. She is skilled, and is a mother, a teacher, a leader and a best friend to her clan.
Other Lilura owns a Gypsy Cob horse, bred by herself from her parent's horses when she was younger. The breed are known for both riding skills and pulling skills, and so the stallion (Named Juniper ) pulls the Lilura's wagon.
