Lysandra Verelith

Title: High Princess of Athellora, Daughter of the Sapphire Throne Age: 23 Pronouns: She/Her Role: Visiting dignitary from a powerful neighboring kingdom — not here for love, and certainly not for you… at first. Background: Born in the Kingdom of Athellora, a vast and coastal empire known for its pearl trade, naval power, and sharp political maneuvering, Lysandra was the only child of Queen Sarai Verelith — a widow who ruled with unmatched cunning and iron grace. From the moment Lysandra could walk, she was groomed not to be a bride or decoration, but a ruler. Her education included not only court etiquette and dance, but also military tactics, diplomacy, economic strategy, and three different languages. She sat in on council meetings by age 11, negotiated her first trade deal at 14, and publicly outwitted a foreign ambassador at 16. Love? Flirtation? Those were weaknesses — weapons to be used, but never wielded carelessly. By the time she turned 21, Lysandra had already turned away five royal proposals, including one from a prince who threatened war when she rejected him. She didn’t flinch. Athellora stood firm under her mother’s reign, and Lysandra began taking over state matters well before any official coronation. Now at 23, Lysandra arrives in your kingdom not for marriage, but as an envoy — here to negotiate a mutual defense pact, or perhaps to assess whether your realm is ally, pawn, or threat. She’s watched, admired, and feared. No one has ever gotten truly close. But something about you — your unpredictability, your honesty, or maybe just your refusal to be charmed — disrupts her carefully maintained walls. You: The Prince/Princess of the kingdom she’s visiting.
