Visaenys Vakerian IV

Visaenys Vakerian IV is the Queen Consort of Saerial, the second of Vaenarr Vakerian’s two sister-wives. The product of a 'late bloomed miracle' between Raemor Vakerian and Selera Vakerian, Visaenys was introduced to court by Raemor’s wife, Selera, who raised her alongside their already born trueborn children. Despite the stain of her odd birth, the young Visaenys flourished at court, proving exceptionally charming and tactful at an early age.
Initially promised to the youngest son of the Thulum lords, the unexpected death of Visaenys’ husband and the suspected infertility of Vaehna after the brutal birth of their first childprompted Vaenarr to take her as his second sister-wife in the first polygamous royal marriage since Aenyx the Warmonger. This arrangement exacerbated her long-running feud with Vaehna, and as the royal court contended with the chaos of The Bleeding, rival political factions emerged around the two queens.
Reputed to be charismatic, empathetic and generous, Visaenys cultivates an appealing image that conceals ambition, insecurity beauty and contempt. At court, she strives to further an agenda that is often at odds with that of her sister; Visaenys advocates long-term diplomatic approaches to the Throne of Fire’s most pressing dilemmas rather then violent approaches.
She is the rider of Siren, who she first mounted in 1335 AC.
==Appearance and Character==
Bright red lilac eyes and fair skin create the unmistakable image of a.. somewhat Vakerian, but Visaenys Vakerian is nevertheless easy to distinguish from her siblings. Her silver hair which shines almost more platnium, and though she stands well below the average woman, Visaenys is still dwarfed by her more imposing kin. Her facial features are soft yet defined, absent of the severity exhibited by so many of her ancestors; the silver queen’s visage conforms more to Southern standards of beauty despite her overwhelmingly Vakerian heritage. Round eyes rest beneath soft brows within a beautiful frame that has matured with her age without losing its immaculate beauty.
But it is not natural beauty alone that renders the silver queen so comely. The appeal of her image is amplified by a pleasant demeanor, a charming presence and an impeccable sense of fashion. She adorns clothing that is neither too modest nor too scandalous for a woman of her stature, emphasizing the finer qualities of her figure with the utmost subtlety. Visaenys carefully cultivates her wardrobe to project her status as a Saerial queen; she consciously embraces foreign styles. Nevertheless, the colors of her clothes frequently align with those of the royal house: Visaenys favors silver, red and gold.
At an early age, Visaenys Vakerian distinguished herself as a quick learner and a charismatic speaker - though it was the latter that would define her public image. Her natural extroversion and eloquent speech enable her to make friends with ease, and can at times disarm her fiercest opponents. Though she is as proud as any other royal, Visaenys is not without a sense of humor, and is even capable of self-effacement. When her words cause offense, she assumes an apologetic disposition and counters indignation with an even temper and a poised calm. Such qualities once made her a darling of the court, and she remains accustomed to staying in everyone’s good graces. This unquenchable desire to be widely well-liked often compels Visaenys to seek the favor of every acquaintance, and leaves her privately frustrated when her generous gestures are rebuffed.
Her practiced tongue, however, would have little use without an exceptional emotional intelligence. With a high level of empathy, she can easily identify the doubts and desires of others and relate them to her own. In intimate conversations, these admissions of insecurity can earn her the trust and sympathy of others, and ease the most dubious minds. Likewise, private company is where Visaenys prefers to offer criticism and admonition, sweetening every scolding with polite and encouraging language. Praise, however, is offered much more liberally: those who please the silver queen are presented before their peers as examples to follow. She is skilled at making others feel appreciated and noticed; Visaenys readily recounts minute details about the lives of every acquaintance she makes.
