Seyana Hopiar

== Appearance and Character ==
Striking blue eyes adorn the face of a woman too used to being scorned to view the nobles around her with anything but contempt. Her gaze seems to pierce straight through you, as though she knows each and every secret you have hidden away. Yet this is not the most surprising of her traits. Seyana's fiery red hair immediately picks her out of most crowds, and cascades around her face and down her shoulders like a waterfall of flame. She is often found to be dressed in anything other then gowns and preferring to wear tunics or even leather armor, though never as much as to cause outrage or scandal from more traditional men and women.
Seyana herself is calculating, and cold almost as much so as the winter that defined so much of her younger life. Living through the Blue Winter in such conditions as she found herself forged her desperation into determination and honed her need into ruthlessness. The Blue Winter took the entire continent by surprise especially the Midlands which got hit nearly as hard as the north itself.
Her father had barely been back two years when the cold swept down from the North. Even at such a young age, Seyana knew it would take all she had to last it out. It did not take long for her to learn a lesson she had so far not needed to thrive, she must truly disregard those who stand in her way, or who conceivably could.
Had she not learned this lesson she likely would not have survived as well as her father rarely took care of her as he should of, for in taking from others she guaranteed for herself and those she cared about a life of comfort. She even found that the lowly figures around the keep those of her father's servants who were the most desperate would do great deeds for the lady who gave them even a little food. It rather amused Seyana to see how loyal these servants would be to her, all for giving them the food she had stolen from their tables even as far as to inform on the rest of her family.
As she grew and kept hearing tales of the war that has waged around her for her entire life she begun to get jealous about all of the fancy knights and mercenaries fighting in this war and as such she seduced a knight of the keep to take his sword and practice with it daily eventually getting quite good. Alas she could never squire her father would never allow it or that is what she thought. While it is true that Markas would have no part in his daughter fighting instead of sewing or the likes of normal noblewomen, it was not true for Princess Gaera Vakerian. Gaera called Seyana to Firekeep the place of her birth to stand beside her as a sparring partner, Seyana left without saying goodbye to her siblings or her father however she did say goodbye to her mother before leaving. Ever since she has resided at Firekeep fighting alongside Gaera Vakerian both in the palace and out even in some battles whenever she is wanted on the battlefield.
