Personal history

As a child, Yvona was raised by her father, Count Marcello Askhevron, He did not care for her as a father should, and only thought of her as a bargaining chip to better the family. As a child should, Yvona craved her father’s love. She did all she could to appease him, but nothing worked, he just demanded more perfection. She learned how to be a lady and a good wife, and to manage a household and estate. She was sent to a wizard’s school for her studies but was restricted to learn only the most basic of magic, enforced by her father. As soon as she came of age, her father manipulated her into undergoing a secret ritual to earn his affection. She read from a mysterious, one-of-a-kind tome that had been in their family for generations. It was only to be used in emergencies, but her father had plans for her. This magical tome gave her the ability to use summoning magic.   Unbeknownst to Yvona, an exchange between house Askhevron and the Barony of Duarte was put in place. If Yvona used her magic to make it appear that the young lord, Yvona’s now betrothed Gaspard, was performing this rare and new magic, they would fund the Ashkevron family with endless gifts and coin.   Yvona was under the impression that the young lord truly cared for her. As always, the best way to earn her father’s and fiancé’s love was to do as she was told. She worked herself to the bone to please them all, and she was finally rewarded with affection.   One day, as she was going to visit the now recently promoted Baron Gaspard, she was walking down what Yvona thought was an empty, dark hall. Light and sound spilled out of one door that was cracked open. Inside was her betrothed with her cousin, Charles. They were in each other’s arms, whispering sweet nothings and discussing their plans of their future, including using Yvona as a surrogate to raise as their own child. The only reason that he was pretending to be with her was for her magic so he could elevate himself in the eyes of the public and to prove he was worthy of being line for the throne. There was no love towards Yvona, only disdain and disgust.   In shock, she ran. She realized all who she thought cared for her felt the exact opposite. Even her cousin Charles, who felt more like a sweet, older brother. She returned to her estate, collected what she thought was important, including the magic tome, and fled to the countryside.   Little did she know that someone had already read the book…
