Queen Tatiana Castevel (PRONOUNCED: /ta.tja.na/ tat-YAH-nah) is the queen of Varcia and founder of the Adventurer's Society.
Born in the year 948 AR, Tatiana succeeded her mother’s rule at the age of sixteen and has justly ruled over Varcia in the eight years since.
It is common knowledge that the expansion and growth of Varcian territories is due to the efforts of both Queen Tatiana and her late mother, Queen Rosaria. Common rumors which have aided in the respect gained by Queen Tatiana include being known for having a cool demeanor, having thorough and just decision making, being an accomplished scholar, and even rumors of her having joined her Knights of the Rose in the field of battle.
Description
Tatiana has grayish-silver eyes and wavy, brown hair, which reaches down to the bottom of her shoulder blades. She has tanned, olive skin and has an athletic figure. Exceptionally beautiful, with high cheekbones, full lips, and soft-yet-piercing eyes. Her hands are scarred from many years of combat training and fighting threats out in the field. She also has a full sleeve of tattoos on her left arm which she obtained throughout her travels. The tattoos are regarded as unappealing by a not insignificant number her noble peers, although she will tell you she couldn't care less of their opinion.
Tatiana stands at 5'8" in height (1.73-meters).
Personality
Tatiana is an intelligent, curious, and strong-willed individual who will not hesitate to voice her opinion. She is not malicious or cruel nor officious, and does maintain an elegant charm befitting her station. She is driven to ensure her goals find an assured outcome, using every letter of the law, loopholes included, to drive any positive change within her kingdom.
Being an adventuring spirit at heart, the young queen has grown to greatly dislike high fashion, especially formal, which is often expected of nobility. Favoring clothing that serves comfort and function over elegant and overpriced luxury. Tatiana will wear clothing that appears elegant, but only if it is bereft of all the discomforts which accompany such attire.
Relationships
Tatiana is the only child to Rosaria Castevel and Maurcoiran Castevel and as such enjoyed a lavish upbringing that would see her as the center of her parent's affection. They would see that her every need was met while providing for her the best private educators that money could afford. Was gifted with clothes and bedding made of the finest imported silks, oft throwing lavish parties for the princess just on principle. Early on, Tatiana's parents had already planned to prepare the young princess for her eventual ascension to the throne. She was expected to become well learned, confident and wise in dealings with fellow nobility, and trained for combat should ever the princess find need to protect herself.
Tatiana's cousin Marquis Malaeno Castevel III governs the city of Castevel and is a father-figure for Tatiana. After the death of her mother in 960 AE, Malaeno would ensure to visit Portarosa and his younger cousin two weeks out of every month. He would often bring his family to ensure Tatiana would still have some semblance of a normal family life. While also seeing to the young princess' continued education. In the year 962 AE, Malaeno officially renounced his right to rulership over Varcia, announcing to the people his intention to entrust the tile and role of Monarch to Tatiana at the age of 16. To this day, Tatiana will often turn to her cousin for advice in her role as the queen.
Malaeno Castevel Jr, father of the current Marquis of Castevel, Tatiana's uncle, harbors a vile grudge against his son and the queen. The crippled elder took a major strike to his pride when Malaeno III renounced the throne. Wanting for his son to reign as the rightful heir to Varcia as Malaeno Jr. does not attribute the kingdom's freedom from Calandrian rule to the efforts of Queen Rosaria. Making no attempts of subtlety in claiming the kingdom has gone soft under the rulership of a woman. Thus, Malaeno Jr. believes that somehow Tatiana managed to convince his weak-willed son into handing over the kingdom to a child.
Allies
Allies within the city of Portarosa along with others. Marquess Amira Sartori of Almora, suspected sorceress.
Abilities
Tatiana is an exceptional rider and swordswoman. Although a half-decent archer, the queen's skill with martial combat is enough to challenge many able-bodied, trained soldiers within her kingdom.
Possessions
Tatiana owns a magickal, sentient bastard sword (hand-and-a-half sword) +2, named Curador, which she obtained during her journeys throughout her kingdom. The sword allows her to teleport via the teleport spell, grants regeneration 2, and thanks to clairvoyance ensures that Tatiana cannot be surprised; much to the annoyance of any would-be-assasins.
Activities
Inspired by adventurers and the tales of minstrels, Tatiana took to journeying through every corner of her kingdom. Ensuring that she meet as many of her subjects as possible, spending time among them, living with them, learning of their struggles, hopes, and dreams. All in order that she may become better able to connect with and rule for her people, rather than for her fellow nobility. Not long after tales of these exploits of the willful, young queen, Tatiana founded the Adventurer's Society. So that others may explore the kingdom and the world, to help others in need and make the world a better place one deed at a time.
After the age of eight, Tatiana was assigned to [training officer from the Knights of the Rose] as a martial trainee. During this time the princess would learn to master one-handed and two-handed blades, polearms, and archery.
