Appearance:
As all D’Angelines, Aideen is considerably beautiful. Her hair is of a slightly reddish brown and usually falls in waves freely down her back – the young adept prefers to only display her elaborate hairdos on special occasions.
Despite her being short – which she herself considers a flaw since she feels she has to constantly look up to other people – Aideen’s fawn eyes which can easily take on a haughty look and her overall appearance seem to work well for her patrons.
Personality:
Having spent most of her life with the motto “Yield all”, Aideen displays a distinctive amount of self-confidence and, in some cases, arrogance in her features. Also, despite her convenient ability to easily assess a person’s state of mind, she has been known to get a tad to involved with her patrons every once in a while. With growing experience, she understood how essential it is for her to be in control of those emotions and today, the adept tries her best at that.
As sweet as she can be dominant and mean, Aideen nó Mandrake finds new friends quickly and enjoys social gatherings of any kind. In light of this it is no surprise that while she would like to continue serving Naamah once her marque is done.
All in all, Aideen is an intelligent, curious and self-assured young woman who takes pride in what she does.
History :
Born to a minor Kusheline noblewoman and her consort, a former Night-Court adept of Eglantine house, Aideen’s path was set very early on in her life.
A curious and clever child, she developed and interest for the philosophies and views of the Night-Court and, driven by her mother’s blood in her veins, she set her mind on entering the service of the goddess she admired. The discussion brief due to her father’s own heritage, Aideen joined Mandrake House at the age of ten.
With her time spent learning proper etiquette and a variety of skills deemed important by the house’s policy, the little girl eventually matured into a full adept, taking on her very first assignation.
Once educated in the arts of pleasure – especially those inherent to Mandrake adepts – Aideen developed her own “style” rather quickly. With some traces of Kushiel’s scions’ blood flowing through her, she found her own pleasure in her patrons’ suffering almost immediately, though, to her, inflicting pain seemed the easier task.
From the age of sixteen on, the young adept took on numerous yet carefully picked patrons of whom some made her generous gifts after having experienced her skills.
Once Aideen had a certain reputation established, her marque sustained a constant growth until, today, there is only about a forth of it left for her to pay for.
