Mariah Bavon

== Appearance and Character ==
From an early age, Mariah has become accustomed to standing a little taller than most other women. As a young woman she employs her somewhat above average height to her advantage in her fashion choices, opting for outfits that show off her long and slender legs. Slim in both shoulders and hips, Mariah wears her dark brown hair long that has since turned fully grey, often extending down to the small of her back, and has hazel eyes that are usually filled with mirth.
As a child Mariah was full of energy and near always babbling on one topic or another, from the boats that came down the Fork to matters far afield of which she truly had little knowledge but a keen imagination. While she has quieted some as she matured, she is nevertheless still a vivacious figure, always with an easy smile upon her face and a cheerful laugh at the ready.
Mariah Bavon was born in 1,292 AC, the third child and second daughter of Hosteen and Kara. She was preceded by a brother named Alesander and a sister named Merissa.
There is, in truth, very little about Mariah's childhood that is remarkable or noteworthy. As a third child, she did not necessarily garner special attention - save, of course, for when her animated behavior demanded it. One such occasion came when she snuck away from a large celebration and defaced a painting.
Such incidents were rare, however, with the girl's proclivities typically trending more towards activities that did not destroy the possessions of others. Mariah took to dance, for example, with aplomb, finding it a complementary match to her own exuberance. As frequently as she could, the girl took her leave of the castle, either riding a favorite horse along the banks of the Trident and through nearby woodlands or swimming in slow rivers.
