Name: Evangeline Isabel L'Envers de Morhban
Age: 22
Height: 5'7
Gender: Female
Race: D'Angeline (Namarrese/Agnicite)
Home Province: Namarre
Appearance: Evangeline is stunning and looks well beyond her years but with a beauty that still haunts her youth. Her hair is a deep soft sable that flows in long curly locks to her knees. Her eyes are a solid representation of her L'Envers blood; violet, but much paler then her twin brothers. She is of average height at 5'7 and has a slender frame to match. Her skin is a soft ivory that occasionally radiates an almost blue, a trait she inherited from her mother's side of the family. Though in the summer she gathers a golden tan from the sun.
History: Born into a prestigious family, Evangeline carries a nobility about her that is only seen when you’re the cousin of the crown. Her father was Duc Bernard L'Envers, eldest son of the late Barquiel L'Envers. Bernard always despised the game of crowns and his family's involvement with it and so when his father Barquiel betrothed him to the Lady Elaine Taurique, he did it but not out of love. They were wed, but it took a considerable amount of time to produce heirs and some speculated that Barquiel himself would have to bed Elaine to produce heirs. Eventually though, in their 10th year of marriage Elaine gave birth to twins, Evangeline and Elliot. Barquiel's death soon after left Bernard an unhappy Sovereign Duc and he spent as much of his time traveling as much as he could, leaving Elaine to raise Evangeline and Elliot on her own. Elaine became quite reclusive and as the children grew, she too spent much time traveling, and eventually, when Evangeline and Elliot where 6, she traveled to Nubia where she disappeared. Bernard returned home after Elaine's disappearance and even briefly traveled to Nubia to search for her. Officially they said that she was dead but there have always been secret whispers that she lives, occasional sightings of her through Aragonia and Caerdicca Unitas where her extended family is from.
Bernard raised them the best he could having never wanted children in the first place, but when Evangeline and Elliot reached the age of eighteen Bernard signed over the title of Duc and Duchesse to be held in joint or till Evangeline or Elliot weds. After which he left Terre d'Ange himself, moving to La Serenissima where he has been ever since.
Because of her family, Evangeline is reserved and speaks her mind no matter what, and most often its callous or rude. Most say that her temperament matches her grandfather's sparking more then a little gossip as to whether or not Barquiel did bed Elaine, but she is strong willed never the less.
After the wedding of her brother the Duc Elliot L'Envers to the former adept Caraf nó Heliotrope, Evangeline has been left with 9,000 a year and no title of her own. Knowing this Evangeline struck an alliance with the Sovereign Duc of Kusheth. But tragically soon after they wed, Gervaise de Morhban died in a hunting accident leaving Evie the sovereign and with more then a little bit of trouble. Her new in-laws were livid at the events and tried unsuccessfully to push Evie from the position of Duchesse. It didn't work, but what has happened is that she's been forced into copulating with Gervaise's brother Gregoire until she produces an heir, there by securing the Morhban hold on Kusheth.
