Description: She is a pale and slender young woman, just a touch shy of average height and exceedingly fair. Her hair is short, golden mess, with pixie locks tickling her temples, her ears, and her jaw. It's random enough that it might have been done with a knife. Her eyes are elfin and wide-spaced, vividly blue. A straight nose and wide, expressive bow of a mouth are underscored by an impish, pixie chin. Her age is difficult to determine with those doll-like features and rangy, coltish limbs. The curves that mark her as a woman are very modest indeed, delicate suggestions of a rose more bud than bloom.

Personality: Magden is open and warm, her smiles and laughter ready things. Sometimes. Other times, she's sarcastically canny with a cutting wit. Still others, she seems to have no emotions at all, observes people with intense and scientific rigor, and is rather cautious about personal interaction.
Sometimes she's just bizarre.

Background: A country cousin from a lesser branch of House Zaffria, it's fairly well-known that the former Lady Magden Zaffria is a bit soft in the head. Her home near Gemecitta employed a rather skilled -- some might say renowned -- apothecary and physician to tend her mother's poor health. Though her mother died when Magden was still a child, the physician remained, taking the young girl on as a promising pupil. When her father died and her older brother had no interest in being responsible for her, she was taken in by the Rubino-Zaffrias in Arx.

Unfortunately, Lady Magden's mental condition deteriorated while she was in Arx, resulting in a number of embarrassing public incidents. Her moments of fractious indelicacy and blindness to protocol made her relationship with her house particularly tense. Shortly after a disastrous duel to settle a matter of insult between herself and Duchess Nightgold, Lady Magden made a proclamation officially renouncing both her title and the Zaffria name. Why //specifically// this was done is a matter for speculation. She herself, now simply Magden, will often answer inquiries with wild and impossible tales -- or not at all.
