"My Duty is to my People first, myself never"Before you stands a young woman, She is resplendant in royal garbs of the finest make, but that is not what makes her beautiful. Her features are, for her youth, exquisite, but that is not what makes her perfect. Her eyes snare you, and in them you see a sorrow and dispair unlike any you have ever felt, such a deep misery and anguish that you cannot imagine anyone would ever find their way out, and yet those eyes defy you. They are filled with pain, yes, but also a fire that refuses to die, a love that could change mountains and shatter whole worlds.
She is beautiful, because you have no doubt that this woman is divine.
Halena Asylia is a strong willed leader of her people, who seeks to ensure the survival and continued prosperity of her kingdom. A prodigy, she has shown intelligence at a young age that matches or even exceeds that of the greatest minds in her kingdom. Her father's pride in her drives her forward, and pushes her to prove herself worthy of his legacy, one of just and fair rule.
She is an intense thinker, and rarely engages in the childish behaviors expected of those her age. She is NEVER seen without her Guardian and confidant, Tolend Dathar. Wise, intelligent, and with a mind for courtly intrigue and warfare, she is the great hope of the kingdom, as the only heir of her father.
HistoryHalena Auroran Asylia was born a mere one thousand, four hundred, and seventy two years ago, which for Asylians is just barely past childhood and into Adolescence. Her mother was a proud and powerful woman by the name of Andromena, who was born with the twin gifts of telepathy and magic.
However, Andromena died in childbirth, leaving the king with only the young princess as his one and only heir. He dotes upon her, and gives to her all her wishes and desires. In recent years her aptitude and intelligence have been the primary drive behind the kings support and acquiescence to her. The king is considered a very wise and intelligent man, and he readily admits that his daughter is smarter than he in most subjects.
Halena has been protected by Tolend Dathar since her birth, a task the simple man has taken to with all the fervor of a loyal hound. Halena lacks both the telepathic and magical abilities of her parents, making her one of the minority in Asylia of those who do not possess either of these abilities. She more than compensates for this with deductive reasoning and intelligence.
Though she has no precognition or clairvoyance, many of the lesser nobles in Asylia are convinced that Halena can see the future. This is not the case, of course, as Halena merely uses logic to determine the most likely course of events, and at times even uses her predictions to manipulate individuals and people around her in order to have things occur as best suits her. Halena has never been beaten in chess, of any format she has encountered, including the Asylian version of the game known as Dusare Don Avast, which roughly translates to Hail The Worlds.
