Oranje von Savras-McSpiegel

Oranje von Savras-McSpiegel is a member of the Auroran Order who holds the rank of warden. She currently lives inside the city of Fornost as well as occassionally living in the neighbouring towns of Northport and Haleny. She is a member of both the von Savras and McSpiegel families, her parents being Lucius von Savras and Hazel McSpiegel. Her birth parents remain unknown but were likely kumiho of impoverished backgrounds living in the north of the Hampo province (at least assumed by Oranje). 
== Biography ==
Oranje's history is a long and relatively untracked one in her early life, however after her rise to the position of Archwarden and especially with her service under Hazel McSpiegel her life became much more well recorded.
=== Early Life ===
Oranje was abandoned at an early age, likely directly after her birth. Due to the likely impoverished nature of her parents Oranje assumes her abandonment was either due to an inability to care for her or her inability to change into a Lhuren form. There is little to no understanding on why Oranje could not change from her fox form but she was stuck in it for the first 16 years of her life nonetheless.
Oranje was luckily found in the northern forests of the Imperial Province by Hydra Blackwater, who was at the time a lower class worker residing within Lhumar. Hydra dealt with perpetual bouts of madness throughout his care for Oranje, however he spent much of his sane time developing a cure for her condition. Oranje describes him as a man with many troubles but still a caring and attentive father figure for her early years of life. Hydra taught her the Blackwater language and culture to which Oranje still follows to this day.
Hydra's madness eventually led to him getting in trouble with the law, fleeing to the outskirts of the Velande to escape. Oranje was left alone inside Lhumar and was quickly held hostage by the Night Falcons in an attempt to draw out Hydra. She rarely talks about the resulting aftermath of Hydra's arrest and return to normalcy, his madness being cured. Despite this, due to intrusive events Hydra took his own life when Oranje was 13. 
She spent the next 3 years of her life dedicating it to the Harmonizers. Despite her physical incapabilities she quickly rose through the ranks of the order becoming its head at only age 15. When asked about her training she describes it as tough and rigorous but rarely dives into the details of it nor the actions taken to achieve her high rank in such a quick fashion. During her service to the organization she spent time removing heretics and burning illegal texts, notibly Asitir texts as she focused on then Minister of Education Aldara Ellan.
Despite her preservation of the law she quietly spent time attempting to bring her father and only family back to life. During this process she came to believe that a shard of Hydra's soul was being kept by the Velereth inside the Imperial Palace. One night in an attempt to free it Oranje was confronted by the Velereth and the Veleran. Seeing her struggle the Velereth decided to adopt Oranje, however only a couple months after this the Velereth died due to an unknown sickness, leaving Oranje in the care of Veleran and widower Lucius von Savras. Furthermore Oranje as Archwarden was forced to work under Hazel McSpiegel whom Oranje despised for the exile of Hydra from Viodoxa.
=== Work Under Hazel ===
Oranje's relations with Hazel during the beginning of her work were shaky. Oranje travelled to Viodoxa City to meet with Hazel, keeping her work professional despite her own hatred for the Triumveress and Matron. Oranje's work-driven mindset led to Hazel giving Oranje a forced vacation, which Oranje spent in the city of Tlahatl self-describing it as a "scouting mission" returning a few days later. 
Hazel took special note of Oranje's condition, deciding to help Oranje find a cure to it. Upon some research within the Imperial Palace, Oranje and Hazel stumbled across a potion made by Hydra, purposefully hidden from Oranje. Labelled "Trial 13 Potion" Oranje decided to take the risk and drink it. After a short heart attack, Oranje was transformed to her human form. The cure resulted in the unintended side-effect of making Oranje wisened with memories of Hydra mixing with her own memories. This made her time in Viodoxa difficult, her briefly struggling to stay herself while touring Hazel's then 6 year old son Felix around the city. The issues came to a head when Oranje became "Lost" inside her father's laboratory, requiring aid from Lucius, Hazel, and Felix to bring her back. Soon after Hazel, Felix, and Oranje left the city for Viodoxa.
While in Viodoxa Oranje became more acquainted with Hazel and Felix. Oranje was given a room inside the McSpiegel household as she spent her time helping Hazel, notably bringing her out of bouts of panic and depression. This and Hazel's previous help in curing Oranje's condition eventually led to the two becoming friends. Oranje also spent time bonding with the young Felix as Oranje began treating him as a sort of little brother.
Eventually Oranje and Hazel were called away on business again, Hazel having to meet with people in Tlahatl and Oranje having to briefly return to Aurlunor. The two decided to rendevous post-missions back in Tlahatl however Oranje failed to return from her mission. Hazel eventually began to search for the Archwarden, eventually finding her having been kidnapped by unknown fundamentalists. Hazel quickly helped Oranje escape, carrying the badly injured kumiho all the way back to Lhumar, from there the two escaped as the fundamentalists made pursuit. Heading to Jirn the two crossed the path of Oranje's father, Lucius von Savras, who helped the tired two to Jirn. From there they spent time in hiding, Oranje and Hazel trying to figure out the best way to deal with the fundamentalists. 
Oranje briefly revisited Lhumar to talk with her father who declared her heir to Andorn. Heading back to Jirn briefly to tell Hazel of the news, Oranje was pressed to finally admit to feeling Hazel to be her mother to which Hazel responded in kind that she felt that Oranje was her daughter. After a long goodbye Oranje headed to Savras, spending time with her father as he showed Oranje around the nation. In the far northern wilderness while on their travels they encountered a dragon skull which seemingly began having strange effects on Lucius, Oranje spending time to help her father deal with the effects of this draconic object on him.
Returning back to Jirn for a time, Oranje and Hazel again spoke of the fundamentalists, eventually reaching the startling conclusion that it was in fact the Harmonizers who were the pursuing fundamentalists. Oranje eventually decided to independently head to Lhumar, however upon reaching the city she was met by Hazel and Lucius who urged her to leave. Instead Oranje insisted that the fundamentalists be routed out, a point that was harder pressed when leader of the Night Falcons, Nori, and her children were kidnapped. Hazel
