Grand Seer Theresa Emillia Scheherazade (a.k.a. The Young Pillar)
The young ruler of not only The Cabal of the Night Sky, but also of Avalon as a whole. Wise, Strong, and dedicated to her people, the devotion shown by her rings true to each and every citizen within her nation.
Theresa Scheherazade was born to her mother Emilia Scheherazade, the former Grand Seer, and an unknown father. The night she was born was a unique one, where many stars and planets were brighter than they normally would be. It was seen as a sign of prosperity, and she was a loved child.
However, tragedy would strike 4 years later, when her mother was suddenly assassinated, as an explosion took out her, her royal attendants, and an ancient temple they were blessing. Worried about her safety, the remaining attendants of Emilia took to defending Theresa at all costs, raising her and nurturing her.
They would not have to wait long, as Theresa was an exceptionally intelligent child. Spurred by the tragedy of her loss, Theresa threw herself into studies, training, and undergoing all of the trials necessary to ascend to the throne, and did such 10 years later, at the age of 14. She has ruled for the last four years, and many are still stunned by her wisdom, power, and grace.
Physical Description
Theresa is thin and small, even for her age, but her constant battle training with Polearms means she has strong arms, and adapting to the shifting sands of Avalon means her legs are as well.
Horns and a small tail, befitting a Tiefling.
Freckles, but allegedly as she wears a ceremonial golden mask at all times while out in public.
Tends to rub her left arm when nervous.
Intense Strength
Paladin Holy Magic
Sphinx Communication
Regal Raiments, flowing cloth over the shoulders and enchanted silk over the body, and a Golden-Ritual mask, inlaid with protective jewels.
Mental characteristics
Hasn't had much time to figure it out.
Theresa has been personally trained by some of Avalon's best minds from a young age, but her most meaningful education was when King Baal Diomedes the Third took it upon himself to coach her in the ways of democracy and politics, for no other reason than because he saw a child like himself.
As The Grand Seer, Theresa overlooks many bureaucratic situations, along with religious ceremonies, diplomatic affairs, and dealing with special cases around the country.
Ascending the throne at the youngest recorded age, recovering long-lost artifacts of prophecy, and calming the leylines to allow habitation in the Deadlands.
While she has tried to cover it up, Theresa is saddled by the death of her mother, and is afraid of losing those close to her.
A keen mind and wise heart, one that can discern the truth of a persons words.

History
During her studies to take over as Grand Seer, King Diomedes offered his services as a teacher of Politics and other related social sciences. As one of the few people her mother and her aides trusted, Theresa learned under The Azure Mage, and the two have maintained a supportive relationship as Teacher and Student ever since, although Diomedes insists the two are on equal levels now, as they're both rulers.
Nicknames & Petnames
Diomedes sometimes shortens her name to Resa, while she is one of the few people to refer to him as Baal rather than some form of Diomedes.
