Saint Chelone

Chelone was born in Paleah in the Lys Saga, she was born to House Atris' scions Miyah and Sagan - as their third child she had more freedoms and fewer expectations than her brother and sister, allowing her an almost normal childhood. She did fine academically though she didn't seem to have any particular standout talent, and socially she was overshadowed by her siblings and cousins. 
Little is recorded of this period of her life, and her journals have long since been lost, leaving much of her childhood and early teens shrouded in mystery.
This irrelevance shifted when King Matthieu Courtemanche caught sight of her at a gala, and decided he wanted her for his new bride. Her parents agreed to the wedding, despite political marriages being a taboo in Paleah... the fact the King wished to marry outside of Nor nobility or Norley in general didn't sit well with many of the aristocrats and they tried to have her killed - she defended herself successfully, and in the wake of this Matthieu sent his champion Leon Lockwood to Paleah to guard her until their wedding.
Leon and Chelone fell in love with each other turning this time, however she did marry the King - and on their wedding night before she was to attend him he died of a heart attack. As was tradition for a Nor King with no heir, Leon was made King - at which point he was expected to wed his betrothed Fiya, but instead he married Chelone.
Chelone and Leon's marriage and joint rule was initially productive and positive for Norley and Paleah - however their childlessness began to have nobles concerned after the first six years of their marriage, at which point Chelone herself convinced Leon to take Fiya, who had been made Norley's Archmage, as an official mistress to placate the nobles. In the summer of 432 she met her end at what became known as Inaintet's Fall. An insane mage bound the goddess Inaintet to the body of an ancient gold dragon and forced her into another rampage.
Chelone convinced Leon to stab her through the gut to coat his blade with her blood, as a Viride's blood was more potent the more pain they were in - and would thus be able to kill the host body of Inaintet. Her plan succeeded and though Leon tried to get her to a cleric in time to save her life, he failed and she died - in death she was risen to Godhood. 
Her body was interred in a small village that came to be known as Chelone's Grave overtime, for many years it was a Palish pilgrimage to visit the place of her rest. Nobody knows why she was interred here instead of in the Vencarran Crypts, or even burned as was her peoples tradition though there is much speculation.
