Marquessa Lycoris Hawkmour
By understanding the nuances of the world around you and how to survive the temptations, you can rule anything. Even yourself.
Description: Lycoris is painted in earthy, warm colors and her chartreuse almondine eyes are by far her most striking feature; their gaze enigmatic and nearly always engaged in a come-hither stare. The rest of her exotic features are built on a symmetrical heart shaped foundation and can best be described as regal; with noble cheekbones and a pert aristocratic nose. At the corners of her sultry mouth, a devious quirk lingers, threatening to break into a smile but rarely do they ever. She is graceful of limb and toned of physique, not lacking in the beguiling curves of a woman. Her flawless skin has been gently kissed by the sun, coupled with deep toffee-colored tresses that cascade down her back in loose, effortless waves.
Personality: Lycoris is a generally quiet and contemplative sort in public. Outwardly pleasant, she hides a deeply cynical and pragmatic personality and given the right circumstances she can also be fiercely loyal and caring. She prefers to think before acting, remaining a sea of calm in the eye of the storm. She is by no means cold; on the contrary her emotions tend to burn red hot and passionate given the right motivation even though her outward appearance suggests differently.
Background: Born a bastard of Tiberio Pravus, the Sword of Setarco and another Lady just three years prior to Lucrezia, her life was spent between the sea and Setarco. Luxury was the highlight of her young life and even at a young age was intrigued with matters of fashion and the Court.
When her father was poisoned, all that changed and her mother spirited her away to foster under her wings, elsewhere.
When she resurfaced a number of years later, it was to announce her courtship to Marquis Duncan Hawkmour. A political match undoubtedly, and since the Hawkmour family was vastly under-represented in Arx Lycoris moved straight away to Arx to manage the family's affairs in such a tumultuous time.
