Name: Sirena Shahrizai, Marquise de Millefleurs
Age: 23
Race: D'Angeline
Gender: Female
Appearance: Typical as one of the Shahrizai, her hair is a fine black that shines indigo under light and hangs to her mid-back and eyes of that particular blue, large and expressive. She is slender and frail-looking, but her face has a strength of will that belies her physical form. Those who look on her believe that the slightest brush across her skin would cause damage, though few seem to get that close when she turns her penetrating gaze on them. In court she is personable and friendly, never prying, but she does have a habit of being in just the right place to hear things she shouldn't.
History: The daughter of Lucas and Celia Shahrizai (husband and wife as well as second cousins), Sirena was raised amongst hordes of cousins of the family. Fire raged in their shared blood and she'd always felt a kinship to the flames, the heat and dancing shadows that accompanied them. Fire and darkness, so beautiful, so much like home. For a Shahrizai, she had a rather uneventful life for the most part, learning the lessons of a girl who would inherit the estate as well as subterfuge, statecraft and courtly arts. Her voice turned out quite nicely and extra lessons were undertaken in that, making her a masterful singer.
When she was very young her father took in a boy to raise as his own, a few years older than she was, and while he informally adopted Talenon, Sirena was allowed to keep her spot to inherit; no one wanted to give the Bois de Millefleurs to a half-Shahrizai bastard. Rumors abounded that Talenon was Lucas's bastard son, but Sirena has always vehemently denied such ideas. A little too vehemently, some suggest in whispers. Still, no such statements are mentioned in her presence anymore- her family is Shahrizai, strong and ruthless, and those who anger her often run into troubles.
Just after she turned eighteen Sirena's parents died, one after the other and under mysterious circumstances, leaving her to inherit Bois de Millefleurs, which rests along the coastline in Kusheth. For the winter she has decided to come to the City, bringing Talenon with her, who she doesn't have the heart to turn away. Who knows how the City may find them, but they are sure to make an impression as Shahrizai.
