Grandee Ylenia Netherbloom (a.k.a. The Wandering Blade of Beauty)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Ylenia stands at 5'6", with a rather lean-to-average body build. Her emerald eyes and stylized white hair often make her stand out within a crowd, and a few freckles dot below her eyes. While garbed in usual dueling attire, one notable article that's easily identifiable is her capelet, or rather one of many identical capelets she'll always wear regardless of the situation. The blade she carries is also unique, personally forged by metalworkers in the Netherbloom family through traditional blacksmithing techniques. It bears the crest of the House, and a few preserved flower petals on its sheathe.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Ylenia Netherbloom, current heir to the Netherbloom lineage, is a warrior who was raised to hone the blade since her youth. Interest in her family's past deeds always intrigued her no matter how seemingly insignificant they may be to the majority of people. Holding the house's belief in "beauty in transience" and honoring even the smallest actions, Ylenia spent years not only practicing her bladework, but dabbling in poetry in order to help record the feats of peers that she feels have earned her respect. Ylenia is considered an eccentric by most of her peers and kin, forsaking the wealth and security that usually comes with nobility in exchange for life as a wandering vagabond, traveling across the Kingdom to seek challenges and find Beauty in the art of fighting.
Morality & Philosophy
Ylenia is rather humble for someone who wants to seek Beauty and legacy, usually treating their peers with respect, if also mild confusion at certain antics. As the result of living the life of a wanderer, she isn't exactly the best at handling complicated matters, usually deferring to the instructions of the Mistress. Money is especially a problem for her, where she knows the basic gist of "carry enough around to handle the purchases of basic goods while wandering," but is inept otherwise. She also has a minor fear of ghosts, which will usually shake her up. Attempting to use this fear against her in a duel is not recommended, as she'll view it as a dirty cheating attempt and forgo her usual politeness.
Ylenia valuing Beauty means that she's often a polite, almost-charismatic wanderer, carrying herself with a stoic grace. As a seeker of legacy and a poet, she'll compliment a valiant peer who can best her in battle via a written work commemorating their actions.
Social
Family Ties
Despite being the current heir to the house, Ylenia doesn't find herself too close with most of her kin. She'll never attend any tournaments they host, and the two family members she often associates with are the Mistress Yvonne and Lord Citrinitas, who still do view her as eccentric but carry fondness and pride for her.
Religious Views
Ylenia follows her own version of Ninthism she calls the Beauty. As she views it, the Ninth God will eventually destroy everything in His journey to correct the mistakes of the Deposed, so people should strive to make the most of what they're given on their limited time, and find Beauty within the transient. Beauty to Ylenia means the personal growth one partakes in as part of their journeys, and the legacies they leave behind.
