Character Played By (the person in your avatar): Unknown
Name: Trinette nó Valerian
Title: Dowayne of Valerian House
Age: 46
Race (Lineage Origin): D'angeline
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Home Province/Country: Siovale
Appearance (1-2 Paragraphs): Trinette is of average height, fine boned and thin, though with a supple strength borne of years under the lash of patrons and Mandrakes alike. Her hair is a deep chocolate brown, as are her eyes.
Personality (1-2 Paragraphs): Don't let her House fool you, Trinette possesses a strength of will that could move mountains if she wished it. She is kind and loving, idealistic, but yet at the same time pragmatic about the state of the world she lives in. Because she was so shamed as a child, she has made it her mission to erase that feeling from her Adepts, and to do her best to prove to people that there is nothing inherently shameful about being a Valerian.
History (At least 2 detailed Paragraphs): Trinette was born into a noble family in Siovale, a pampered child of older parents. Growing up, she had everything she could ask for, but even as a child, Trinette always felt like there was something missing in her life. She discovered at the age of 8 that if she pricked herself with a pin, the sensation was at once unpleasant and yet pleasant, and she picked up the habit of sewing merely for that purpose. Things might have gone unnoticed, saved one of her mother's maids, who was pregnant with her father's child, pointing out the habit to Trinette's mother. Trinette's parents, being old-fashioned and rigid, did not approve of this behavior and tried at first to keep her from it. The tension in the household increased tenfold when Trinette's half-brother was born and her parents fights became more and more frequent. Retreating into herself, she continued to find ways to bring herself the relief that pain brought her. Caught again, her mother left her father and moved to the City, depositing her daughter at Valerian House and beginning a new life at Court. Far from being upset, Trinette was gratified to find that she was not mentally unfit, as her parents had accused her, and that she had a place in the world where she was wholly accepted. Her debut went off flawlessly, and Trinette was in high demand ever after. She was not overly ambitious, but the position of Second fell to her nonetheless, and she did well at managing the things the Dowayne left to her, so it was natural that she did well when she was raised to Dowayne herself. Trinette has a talent for selecting adepts to fit her patrons needs, and Valerian House has flourished under her tutelage. She works to make people see that there is nothing "unnatural" about Valerian adepts, and that all of Naamah's Servants serve with Her grace.
