Nephele was born into
Evestrian nobility. She and her older sister,
Danae were born to
Archons
Epaphus and
Maia. Nephele has a powerful
Gift of
Planar Magic, with a strong affinity for its
Spatial Magic aspect- both Portal and Summoning.
Early Childhood
Nephele grew up in the family villa adored and doted on by her big sister and aristocratic parents. Their mother, Maia, was elected a Representative about a year before Nephele was born. Having known a time before the political circus, Danae resented her mother's position, but Nepehle, having never known a different life, was unphased by it. Epaphus supported their mother as her chief of staff, and Nephele grew up at his feet watching him negotiate the many parties lobbying for her mother's time and support.
Epaphus' Departure
In 247 Nephele's father was sent to
Nemel. He was no expected to stay; it was just another in attempt in over 100 years of rebuffs to settle an ambassador at the notoriously isolationist court. It was a shock to the entire family when he was accepted, but especially to Nephele who had just turned 9.
Traveling Abroad
After completing Grammatica, Nephele was allowed to join a school friend, Opiea, on her visit to
Pelee; Archon
Huropa brought them to stay with Opiea's mother, and ambassador to Pelee, Archon
Pheona. Nephele had missed her father dearly in the years since his departure, and although she was not with him, her time in Pelee made her feel somehow closer to him.
Nephele continued to travel through Collegium during breaks. Her time in
Renamos with her uncle, Archon
Polydorus went so well that she obtained permission to study abroad for the rest of the year. When she returned to
New Bernan, Nephele decided it was time to see her father.
Settling in Nemel
She arrived in Nemel a complete shock to her father; for although they had faithfully corresponded, in Epaphus' mind she was still his little girl. She marries a Nemeli
Layrd,
Hurly; they have a daughter,
Telephasa, and take on two wards-
Llyr and
Brant. Nephele takes over her father's ambassadorship herself later in life.
