Persophina

==Queen Persophina Elentia Syralius==
Queen Persophina was born in the city of Briginia, in Atlantea. The daughter of the King of Finias, Persophina enjoyed great power and privilage throughout the Empire; however, as she had an older brother, she was unlikely to ever ascent the throne of the empire even should Gorias fail to produce an heir. As a result, she ignored many of the feminine duties her family tried to teach her, and became more obsessed with horsemanship, and weaponry. Although petite, and never strong, she did become quite skilled with a blade, and almost rivalled her brother, Prince Persamus.
Her father, King Phyilios, had grander plans for her, however, and at the lowly age of 18 she was married to the newly-crowned King Argus. Persophina was in two minds about the  marriage- on the one hand she had obtained a position of great power, and one befitting her birth- plus, the king of Ardadain was reputedly a handsome and strong man. On the other hand, the Elentia were a traditional family and would likely discourage her use of swords and expect her to be 'lady-like.' Also, she was young, and not quite ready to settle down.
Nevertheless, the two were married, and were happy. The King, surprisingly, encouraged her warrior-skills, and once he even took her to the Holy Wars. The marriage was fruitful, and they have had four children. Yet the queen has a wild personality, and slowly began to become bored with court politics. She unconsciously flirts with men, and her constant joking with the King's brother, Prince Talangus, has led to a lot of court speculation and unfair rumours. The Queen is faithful, or at least has been so far, yet her indiscrete behaviour has caused many a public scandal, and has caused a few arguments with the King.
The Queen, scandal aside, is very popular with the common-folk, and is very generous- wherever she travels she gives gifts and money to the commoners, and rarely ignore those who speak to her. She is also very generous with petitioners. The queen is small and slim, and often looks comical aside her tall husband. However, she is beautiful, with long red hair. Her diminutive stature is compensated by her demeanor- she is kindly, but not afraid to lash out at those who annoy her.
