Isamene Krastor Character in Ruins of the Regalia | World Anvil

Isamene Krastor

Lady Isamene Krastor

Daughter of Margrave Araccus Krastor and consort Semele ab'Solash, Isamene was raised in the more enlightened household with the benefits of a Regal noble's education, learning about magic, speechcraft, religion, as well as local history, which dominated the lectures of her tutors and her mother, recalling tribes, foes, superstitions and triumphs of a forgotten time.   As one of eight children to the House Krastor, Isamene was raised with elements of the local Antaril culture, acclimitising each of them with the Antaril culture. Isamene, as a daughter of Semele, received further education on the traditions of her people, which she is able to respect and overcome due to her standing as a Regal noble.   Valoria Anthaea, last heiress of House Anthaea, her eldest mother, birthed Cassandra and Darius Krastor, her two eldest siblings. Mirithe of Stormseat of Surantas, her second mother, was unable to bear children. Acantha Casteli of the House Casteli was her third mother, who gave birth to Zars and Valli, the second and third sons. Semele ab'Solash, descendent of the Antaril tribal leaders of the area was her birth mother, and Alindra, her second sister. Miskanyr of Thorn, last heiress of House Thaxis, was her fifth mother, who gave birth to the youngest two brothers, Iason and Menelaus.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Isamene is a girl of twelve years of age, with round cheeks, dark skin and a distant look in her green eyes. She is unfit, but deliberate in her movements and words, preferring clothing with loose fit.

Body Features

Fat-cheeked and perhaps overly fond of sweets, Isamene is a coddled and thoughtful child, with the dark eyes, hair and skin of the Antarils, and the confident, prim bearing of a Regal with money.

Facial Features

Plump, rounded features, aquiline nose and gentle smile, Isamene looks like a coddled, perhaps spoiled, child of privilege, who usually has a wry smile and mischief in her green eyes. Her black hair is tied into tightly knotted braids that hang shoulder-length, terminated in pearls, beads or wooden icons.

Identifying Characteristics

Slight scarring around both wrists is a grim reminder of a darker time in her life.

Apparel & Accessories

Her favourite dress is red, green and pink neriyathum, consisting of a red, black and green patterned sheet of silk cloth wrapped around the body, with a one-shoulder shawl of forest green with pink floral patterns, which has a pouch sewn into the underside. The outfit is cinched by a wide pink cloth belt at the waist, in which she stows flowers and trinkets that she would prefer to display.

She once wore a circlet of yellow thread tied with clean hawk feathers, but now wears a circlet of white silk roses.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The first major experience of Isamene's life was her abduction at the hands of ophidarii malabrandi, who kept her imprisoned in an underground base, to await a time in which they would be able to use dark magic to corrupt her body. She was afraid, but resolute, and her prayers for her loved ones moved moved the White Rose to intervene, sending a unicorn to free her and aid her family in this moment of crisis.   The unicorn itself was so moved that it bonded with her - she is able to draw on some of its magics, and in return, she will uphold the ideals of the White Rose, and repay the favour in kind in the future.

She appears to be a diminutive female, with dark skin, a long wisp of saffron hair that falls to her waist, two pairs of glassy goldenrod dragonfly wings and fierce yellow eyes, clothed in a knee-length gown of alabaster rose petals and armed with a single wicked thorn and a bow made from enchanted twigs and spider silk.
