Apparel & Accessories
Royal Diadem
The royal diadem is a small rose gold circlet, designed to appear like vines wrapping around the wearer's head, with small leaf designs being encrusted in emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. The centre of the diadem has a double helix of vines wrapping around a piece of the Ever-Ice that was broken away from the Ithual ruins, a symbol so to never forget the events that lead to Ithual's evacuation and death of King Trindual.Mental characteristics
Personal history
The first monarch of Erandule since the death of King Trindual in the months following the War against the Dark Wing Empire. In the interim years the Kingdom of Erandule was governed by Venmoria, a trusted member of the former King's inner circle, who disobeyed the orders of her King to aid in the fighting. Venmoria never wanted to hold the position for long, but when both the Rularian Council and Elven people were unsure as to who to elect as the monarch, Venmoria took it upon herself, with the blessing of the Council and permission of the Erandulian people, to find someone who she believed would be a worthy monarch.
Ara's Birth and Early Life
38 years after the War against the Dark Wing Empire, in the Eastern city of Porcilla a small noble family were expecting their latest new-born arrival. The House of Keliana are a small noble family who rose to power a couple centuries prior, after the head of the family, and Ara's father, proved his valour as a lieutenant in the Erandule military saving the lives of many during the first attack on Ithual. Ara was born the fourth and final child of her family, with a difference of about 10-15 years between each of their siblings. The siblings are her eldest brother, the first born Aeson born 40 year's before Ara, their elder sister Lyndis born 28 year's before Ara, and their elder brother Tarron born 12 years before Ara. Being the youngest sibling Ara was always keen to prove themselves in whatever was they could, as such they picked up many activities and idea's before finding their calling, swordcraft. They quickly surpassed the skills of their brothers, and set out to train with the best Rularia had to offer. It was at this point they joined their family on a trip to Polantia to attend the celebration of the Dragon Princes and Princesses 60th birthday (124 BDR). It was here that, Ara saw the Prince's Ased and Vrakdorium training before the celebrations. The young Elf broke away from their family, running towards the Dragon and Dragonborn, challenging Ased to a duel. Once their father realised their absence, they quickly searched for the young Elf, apologising to the Princes. Ased looked into the young Elf's eyes, and saw the same thing Vrak always said he saw in him. The spark of a fighter. A leader. He agreed to the duel, only under the pretence that should he win, the Elf was to stay in Polantia, train alongside himself and Vrak, and develop their skills more. With their fathers permission, the duel commenced, with Ased being victorious, and Ara's training began.Training and Meeting Venmoria
Beginning her training with Ased and Vrak at the age of 24, the Elven noble would stay in Polantia for the next three years, developing their skills and abilities. Whilst staying with the Polantia royalty Ara would become close with Princess Akonth and Prince Zidos, forming a friendship that would end up serving both kingdoms in the future. It was whilst staying in Polantia that Ara would meet the Lord Putara, better known to the people of Rularia as Venmoria. Their meeting was only by chance, when Venmoria was visiting the Dragonborn nation, taking a walk through the streets with Queen Mia'rora, the pair passed the nation's barracks only to see the Elf training against Ased. Ara clashed sword against axe, dodging the Dragon's breath, only to return the attack with a quick jab and fast knee to the side. Ven stood and watched the Elven warrior, never attacking with a cheap move, or being too cocky to overstep her abilities. They were smart, skilled, strong; yet as Mia'rora would tell her, standing at the side-lines, wise, intelligent, charming. After 62 years of serving as Erandule's governess, the ancient warrior may have finally found a worthy successor. Ara, under the tutelage of Venmoria, was brought back to Erandule, where she was presented to the Elven nobility as Venmoria's choice as a successor. The nobles were unsure, a fourth born child of a minor family, it was only at Venmoria's persistance, and assurance that she would remain to guide Ara in their first few years as Queen, did some nobles come around to the idea. It wasn't always easy or accepted by the Elven nobility, but over time they came to accept the idea of this new Queen. And after 70 years Erandule had a new monarch.Gender Identity
Ara identifies as non-binary, however whilst they use the pronouns She/They, and are referred to as Queen, in private they prefer the They pronoun, reserving the She pronoun for public and official life and duties as Queen. They are not the first non-binary monarch Erandule has seen, the last in fact only being three rulers prior, but Elven monarch live and rule for a long-time, unless affected by outside sources.
Sexuality
Ara identifies as Demisexual/Biromantic, being romantically attracting to multiple different gender identities, whilst only forming a sexual attraction to someone they share a close bond with.
