Neferura Akh-Sedjet
Nebet Per
Neferura Akh-Sedjet was born into one of Kemet’s most distinguished noble families, a lineage deeply entwined with the Eastern Dock Overseers. Unlike the rising merchant class, her family had long been regarded as true aristocracy, their wealth not merely a matter of commerce but of ancestral privilege and divine favour. The Akh-Sedjet line traced its heritage to the earliest priest-kings of the delta, their estates sprawling along the banks of the Iteru Hemet, where ships laden with exotic goods from distant lands docked under their authority.
From birth, Neferura was raised in an atmosphere of refinement and tradition, where duty was measured not in conquest or governance but in maintaining the splendour expected of a noblewoman of her stature. Unlike the ambitious wives who sought influence in court affairs, she had no desire to meddle in politics. Instead, she cultivated a life of quiet luxury, ensuring that the royal household remained a sanctuary of beauty, pleasure, and divine harmony.
She was renowned for her striking beauty, a presence that commanded attention without the need for words. Her features were sharp yet elegant, framed by carefully arranged curls adorned with gold and lapis. Her bearing was regal, her movements deliberate, each gesture a quiet reminder of the nobility that ran through her blood.
Though she bore no great ambitions, Neferura understood the value of her role. She was a living jewel, a testament to Kemet’s wealth and refinement, a presence that soothed tensions and reminded those at court of the splendour they served. In the great game of power, she neither schemed nor struggled—she simply was, and that alone ensured she was never overlooked.
