History:ndromache grew up in the kingdom of Cilicia where her father ruled the city of Thebe. It was a boisterous family with seven sons and numerous daughters. Andromache was a quiet child with observant light eyes and the knack for being just where she was needed the most. As the oldest daughter, she took a great deal of the responsibility for raising her siblings and so grew up quickly herself. Her younger brothers and sisters tended to accuse her of being too serious in one breath and then turning to her for help in the next. Things changed as they all grew older. Most of her brothers went away to learn the art of war and returned to her changed into hard men she hardly recognized. Her sisters married early into notable families for strategic or economic advantages. Andromache, steadfastly running the household with quiet efficiency, was growing into both a stranger in her own house and yet still remained the pillar that held it solidily together,the touchstone that reassured the family that, whatever might change, she would always remain. But the council and her father's newest wife prodded Eetion, telling him it wasn't right for a young woman to live a solitary life. More importantly, an unmarried life that created no treaties and opened no trading ports. Andromache was well past the marrying age, especially when compared to her younger sisters and there was pressure to find her a suitable match while there were still suitors interested. Andromache, not entirely content at home, had even less desire to marry however. What she saw in her siblings'
marriages offered little improvement over her own quiet lifestlye and some nights, in a fit of weakness, she could admit to herself that the ballads that were sung of love instead of obligation were the ones that moved her heart. But there was little choice for a woman of her standing and she could only ask her father one thing. That he not marry her to a soldier. The coldness she saw in her brothers as they returned from war, or the difficulties when one of her sister's
husband did not return at all, left her with no wish for a husband like that. Everything changed when, in a embassary trip to Troy with her father and several of her brothers on the way to broker her marriage with a further city in Sparta, Andromache did what she'd sworn never to do. Hector, prince of Troy and leader of their dreaded Apollonians, found his way past the defenses around her heart and won her for his own. Despite herself, she became betrothed to a soldier and has never regretted a moment of it. The love in the ballads she used to sigh over pales compared to what she found with her fiance. But deep in her heart,
Andromache fears Hector will not die of old age by her side, and that knowledge, which broke her heart before, tears her to pieces. And she fears the thick walls of Troy offer little protection to the man that steps outside them to defend his country.
