Senestra Pavoninus

Senestra was the second wife of Desolas Arterius III. She is also the mother of his youngest child, Solaeus Arterius.
In an effort to cope with his grief following the death of his bondmate and first wife, Desolas had sought physical relief with a multitude of sexual partners, something which he used to do frequently before his marriage. One of these partners was Senestra. Unbeknownst to Desolas, Senestra was what is coequally referred to as a venatrix prosapia ("lineage hunter") and, like others of her calling, had but one goal in mind; get pregnant, so that Desolas would be forced to support her for the rest of her life. She succeeded in her quest, conceiving a son whom Desolas would later name Solaeus, after his uncle.
Not wanting his son to grow up without a father or live with the shame of being a bastard, Desolas did the chivalrous thing and married Senestra to ensure his son would be of legitimate birth. Senestra felt nothing for Desolas or their son, viewing both of them as a means to an end. Instead, she capitalised on Desolas’ family name and wealth, bleeding him dry to feed her own vanity. 
Desola, Desolas' eldest child from his previous marriage, has a tumultuous relationship with Senestra, considering her to be nothing more than an opportunistic social climber who preyed upon her father in his time of emotional vulnerability. Senestra's apathy towards House Arterius' legacy enraged Desola to no end. She was constantly getting into arguments with her step-daughter over her treatment of Desolas and his house's most treasured artefacts. When she dared to wear Desola's deceased mother's jewellery, Desola flew into such a rage that she broke Senestra's nose, left eye socket and cheekbone, and had to be restrained by her father and eldest brother before she could do any more damage.
When Desola finally convinced her father to divorce her, Senestra took her revenge on her former step-daughter by stealing the golden shatha necklace which her mother had left to her, which she later sold out of spite. She also began to claim that Desolas had been abusive towards her and forced her to marry him, even suggesting that he raped her. This lie damages Desolas' reputation greatly.
