Ranae Aeori I

Ranae Aeori is the second born daughter and third child of her late father, Harkrin Aeori, the Lord of Xabia and Protector of the West. She is the first Aeori woman to be knighted at the hands of Queen Vaehna Vakerian I when she first became queen. She is claimed to be fierce and though there are rumors of her unconvential relations they are unfounded, and her husband vehemently defends her and claims that she has all the 'fierce swan blood' lost on her forefathers and that she is without question a woman of the Faith and a woman of purity.
Reputably, Lady Ranae is a fierce warrior and wields the ossen steel sword, Raintide gifted to her by her pacifist brother Bavinil Aeori. She is bonded with a great white warhorse that is called Tiderusher.
== Appearance and Character ==
Lady Ranae, by daily appearance, falls short of the beauty conventionally afforded by the privilege of nobility, caring not much for fine silks and gowns but preferring trousers and leather jerkins instead. By contrast, she is slightly taller than the average woman, and considered all the more intimidating for it. Her arms are thick and muscularly banded, her abdomen tight, toned, and powerful. She carries with her an air of authority to rival the whispers of a room, and possesses a stone grey stare as cold as ice when needed. On the flip side she is a very kind and considerate woman and a good mother to her child with warm glances of her golden eyes. 
Her countenance is scarred with slight battle-wounds and half-healed marks she considers herself to have earned as a symbol of honor and triumph. Looking closer, she has clear skin with smooth blue brows the same shade as her long hair, which is oft kept strewn back from her face and neck, falling down her back in a tight braid when fighting. Had Ranae neglected to train with shield and sword as a girl, she might be the feminine sort that some might consider quite fair to look upon- but great measures of practice and the dangers of battle have thickened her strong physique and doubly so by the births of her children.
