Name: Avive de Mauvais
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Height: 5'4"
Race: D’Angeline (Siovalese/Azzallese)
Home province: Siovale
Appearance: Avive is petite, with small breasts and hips. She has icy blue eyes and straight brown hair to her waist, which she keeps plaited back, so it won’t get in her eyes while she’s reading.
History: She wears small spectacles to read, and pushes them above her head when she is not. She favors gowns with full skirts and long sleeves in dark gem colors. She speaks Aragonian and Caerdicci with passing fluency, and has recently begun studying Habiru texts in translation. She hopes one day to have a small family in her homeland of Siovale. Avive is very quiet and shy, however, and has yet to meet a young man whom she likes. Her family has sent her to the City of Elua to learn manners, and to hopefully find her a husband. Avive’s father, Philippe de Mauvais, was a second cousin of Alain’s father, Audric de Mauvais. Her mother, Milla, was the daughter of a minor Azzallese lordling, and she died soon after Avive was born. Avive was the darling of her father, who bought her dolls and horses, though she preferred books and parchment. At age five, Avive wrote her first essay on her observations of plant life in the gardens of her father’s estate. At eight, she had mastered rudimentary Aragonian. By age thirteen, she had worked her way through the Trois Milles Joies, but with no other friends on the estate, these skills remained largely untapped. She has recently moved to the City of Elua to live with her third cousin, Alain, and to learn about court life. She is still very much a little girl in someways, but very much a woman in others. Living with Alain has brought out her playful side, and she is very open with him, but other people still maker her shy, so she hopes to integrate into society and outgrow her shyness. She is recently engaged to Justin de Rocaille; the match was originally political, but the young couple is very fond of each other.
