## Description

### Appearance

When she first appears, Constance is introduced as a young aasimar woman with very pale skin with bright blue eyes and brunette hair kept in a short haircut. She wears golden armor over a fanciful white and periwinkle blue dress that ends in a short skit that she adorns with high legged boots. Cast member AJ has described her appearance as that of an "anime girl paladin." Cast members and fans describe her as a "Disney princess meets anime girl meets paladin."

### Personality

Constance has a bright and cheerful demeanor that is almost infectious. She speaks in a very proper manner including not using any contractions in her speech. She is honest, earnest, and selfless to a fault. She has used the word 'gullible' to describe herself to her friends in the Emerald Caravan. She has a tendency to see the best in people leading to a strange tolerance of others that would be considered outcasts in their communities. Constance is determined and driven as she believes that to be a chosen one and to have a divine purpose.

Constance's upbringing in Eternal Trust has instilled in her a strong loyalty that is displayed with both the Emerald Caravan and to her commune at Eternal Trust, especially its leader, Mother Superior. She has a need to please those she holds in high regard and finds herself feeling down if she disappoints others or falls short in her goals. She is courageous, often risking great peril for the safety of her friends and only has shown to be intimidated by Brother Judgment. Her cloistered upbringing has not only left her naïve, but also lacking in cultural and worldly knowledge, often getting by in social interactions through her earnestness and adorable charm.

Constance has been shown to have abandonment issues often fearing that members of the Emerald Caravan are leaving. She places great value in the personal connections she makes despite struggling to form these connections beyond a surface level courtesy. She can come off as airheaded being more of a follower than a leader. She prefers to daydream and keep busy instead of confront decision making or thinking for herself. She often freezes up when asked about her past or when her beliefs are challenged, usually ignoring the prodding. She has revealed to her confidants that she has trouble remembering her childhood.

Constance's training for her great purpose has made her a skilled and competent combatant who prefers fighting with her staff mace for most of Season 1 and with her Cyclone Staff for part of Season 1 and all of Season 2. She supplements her combat powers with divine magic granted to her from an unknown source.

If assigned an alignment, Constance would likely fall under "lawful good."

## Biography

### Background

Constance hails from the commune of Eternal Trust in the northern swamps of Bailen, Higard. Eternal Trust is a monastic community sustaining itself through the weaving of fine fabrics. She has not spoken of her family, and when speaking on her time in Eternal Trust, she often refers to Mother Superior who had sent her out from Eternal Trust after her 21st birthday. It was Mother Superior who guided Constance as a clairvoyant and told her of her special purpose; to repair the converged realms and return them to their original state. Constance says she has been training for this purpose for as long as she remembers. Constance has also been shown to need to take medicine from her physician back in Eternal Trust, which has had strange side effects. Constance has told Fenris that she has a hard time remembering memories from her childhood.

A cinematic scene involving this physician and Mother Superior had him refer to Constance as his 'life's work.'

### Season 1: "Clairvoyance Converges"

Sent out from Eternal Trust, Constance traveled the area seeking answers for her quest as the Clairvoyant of Eternal Trust. Rumors about a Madam Curio led her journey to Travenza where she met Ezara, Soren, Shaw, and Emi. It was here that the Emerald Caravan was first formed and began their journey. Constance found herself shocked at the revelation that clairvoyance was not as rare a blessing as she was led to have believed. The quest to seek out the Chaos Hearts led her to Badger Creek where she worked with her companions to uncover the False Hydra. Early in the adventure, Constance was easy prey for Soren's fibbing and attitude which is best showcased in the fact she carried his bags for almost two whole seasons. Through her adventures, she found a kinship with Ezara, the two having a similar upbringing.

Emi's death struck Constance very hard as it was the first time she could remember truly having to face a painful loss. She has tried her best since to take on the role of keeping the Caravan together and has continued to struggle with loss as members have come and gone. Constance's bravery and strength have saved the Emerald Caravan on multiple occasions with the party often recalling how she single handedly rescued them during the events of Episode 12 'Harvest Moon' when she carried all the unconscious members of the party to safety. While in Brightstar, she was visited by Brother Judgment who had arrived with medicine and to check on her. As Constance shares more about Eternal Trust, the party's concern about where she comes from and those who raised her grows.

Constance's resolve has been tested as the outside world continues to rear its cruel face in the destruction of Brightstar Abbey and the eradication of the Pariah Enclave in Shiverdelve by the Sheriff's Coalition. Despite this, she has continued to fight for her friends and fight on for them. After Soren's arrest, Constance's concern for the Emerald Caravan became grave as the founding members dwindled down to only two.

### Season 2: "The Domed City"

Constance's patience and resolve continued to be tested as the latest addition to the Caravan's ranks, Fenris, was proving to be difficult. Constance clung to Ezara early on and almost lost hope, but she was able to find a friend in the cynical druid. She worked hard, stepping outside of her comfort zone, to ensure the Emerald Caravan stayed together during such a tumultuous time. Constance's issues with abandonment would not truly begin to subside until the Caravan reached Briar and began to work in better cooperation with each other.

While spending time in Briar, Constance found an unexpected friend in Oleander with the both sharing a love of reading. Constance and Oleander began the tradition of lending books between members of the Emerald Caravan. During her adventures, Constance expressed a desire to return home and a concern that the party was straying from her original quest, but the Ezara tended to guide her back on her track. She fails to see the Emerald Caravan's concern with Eternal Trust, especially as Fenris and Oleander notice troubling signs that Ezara has perhaps missed due to her own upbringing. The events in Hex only left Constance feeling further perplexed and confused leading her to further rely on her friends to help her make sense of this strange world that Mother Superior could have only hoped to prepare her for.

It was Soren's return to the Emerald Caravan that shook Constance the hardest since Emi's death. She felt betrayed and unwanted by the Watcher, hoping, despite all that he has done, he still valued their friendship. She kept busy to distract herself from her pain, as she always does, only finding reprieve in spending time with her friends. Constance still bristles at the idea of being her own person, but she has been able to admit that she is afraid, a big first step for her. When the Emerald Caravan was brought to Iris, Constance kept busy to avoid thinking about her feelings on the whole matter of Soren's depth with the Watchers. She earnestly accepted Fenris' invitation to be his date to the ball at Nature's Nectar. While attending the ball, Constance admitted to Fenris not only to having feelings for him, but also of being afraid of how unworldly she was, wishing to put the romance on hold where it was. She discussed with Soren her hurt toward his flippant attitude toward the Caravan.

When ambushed by the Marrow, Constance fought fiercely to defend her friends from danger.

### Season 3: "Flight of the Damselfly"

Emi's visit gave Constance a much needed confidence boost as her and the Caravan travelled back to Wren's Run. She was excited to accept Lord Bahdrugghar's request to test pilot the Damselfly airship prototype. The loss of Fenris at the hands of the Devil Muertos will likely have a great effect on Constance's usually cheerful demeanor.

## Relationships

### Emi

Perhaps the only member of the Emerald Caravan to rival the earnestness of Constance, Stars of Emerald bonded quickly with the paladin over their shared love of fabrics and fibers. Constance, recognizing her own naivety, took comfort in knowing that Emi always spoke truthfully and viewed lying as a grave sin. Emi, though sworn to honestly herself, could usually spot a lie and was often the one to let Constance know when Soren was fibbing.

Emi acted as a mentor and guide to Constance, who views the felpurr almost like an older sibling. Emi's death hit Constance especially hard, as it was the first time in her memory that she had to cope with true loss. Constance has since attempted to fill the void that Emi left behind in the party, through she worries that maybe too heavy a burden for her. In honor of Emi's sacrifice, Constance was the one who suggested taking on the name "The Emerald Caravan."

Since Emi became the Spirit-Farer, she has provided guidance and comfort to Constance in her times of greatest need.

### Ezara

Initially, Constance struggled to connect with Ezara, intimidated by Ezara's solemn and serious nature. However, once they spent some time getting to know each other, the two soon became inseparable and always share a room whenever the Emerald Caravan rents an inn, referring to each other as "bunk buddies."

Both Constance and Ezara are fiercely loyal and, perhaps because of this, they feel a deep kinship and protectiveness for each other. Constance and Ezara are the only founding members of the Emerald Caravan that have maintained a consistent presence in the party and Constance considers Ezara to be her best friend and the closest thing to a sister she has ever had. Constance and Ezara support each other and understand how to take care of each other quite well, continuing to turn to each other in their most difficult moments.

Ezara and Constance's relationship as sisters was finally cemented in season 3, when Constance asked Ezara if she would allow Constance to use her last name, as Constance had no surname of her own. The two officially consider themselves to be sisters, even though Constance does not claim the rest of Ezara's family as her own. The two continue to spend most of their time together and are each other's closest confidants, with Ezara even confessing her own confusing feelings for Soren to Constance.

Though Constance trusts Ezara implicitly, she often worries that she will end up disappointing her adopted sister. Constance still struggles to truly open up to Ezara out of fear of rejection and abandonment.

### Vercingetorix (Fenris)

When Constance first met Fenris at his home with the druid enclave, she initially mistook his name to be a formal title and called him "The Fenris," until eventually corrected my him. She was immediately fascinated by the reclusive druid who seemed to know Emi so well.

After Fenris joined the party, he and Constance butted heads at first; she disliked him for his gruff attitude towards her friends, and he disliked her for calling him "like a dog" in an insensitive attempt at a compliment. However, after witnessing Fenris' kindness, the two reconciled. Her cheer often offsets his dour demeanor, but they care deeply for each other.

As the two spent more time together, romantic feelings began to blossom between them. Fenris first expressed his feelings to Constance with a basket from *Yes, Weave Opened,* though Constance did not understand the significance behind the gift at the time. While attending a ball together, Constance confessed her romantic feelings for Fenris, but asked that they take things slow, fearing her naivety and lack of worldliness would put them on uneven ground in a romantic relationship. While she wished to remain close friends for the time being, Constance still allowed Fenris to call her by her nickname: Connie. So far, Fenris is the only character in WovenRealm to have permission to call her by that name, which seems to hold deep significance for her.

Putting their potential relationship on pause has been a decision Constance has deeply regretted since Fenris' death. When given the chance for a brief conversation with his specter, she confessed that she loved him, and he replied in kind.

After journeying to Gehenna to free Fenris (now officially renamed Vercingetorix), the two have grown even closer. With a new understanding of each other and their respective emotional baggage, a patient romance began to blossom in earnest. Despite their feelings and absolute loyalty to each other, Constance and Vercingetorix both struggle to express themselves romantically and have had few intimate interactions throughout their relationship so far.

### Oleander

At first, Constance struggled to connect with Oleander as she felt intimidated by the Kovithian noble. Even so, Constance still welcomed Oleander into the Emerald Caravan with enthusiasm, excited at the prospect of a new friend. After joining up with Fenris and realizing that he and Oleander had been close childhood friends, Constance backed off for a time, worried that her friendship was no longer wanted or needed by Oleander.

After spending some more time traveling together, Constance and Oleander realized that they shared a love of reading and literature and began a small book swap amongst the members of the Emerald Caravan. This gave the two a chance to bond on an individual level, allowing Constance to feel comfortable opening up to Oleander. Constance holds Oleander in high esteem, believing fae to be greatly intelligent and admiring faer inner strength and resolve. When Oleander received her first sword, Constance was ecstatic to become her combat instructor.

Constance often seeks Oleander out when needing advice, especially regarding more "worldly" topics like local customs. However, Constance initially did not feel comfortable asking Oleander for romantic advice regarding her relationship with Fenris, worrying that she might disapprove or share Constance's anxieties regarding the relationship with Fenris.

After Fenris' sacrifice, Constance initially held Oleander in contempt and blamed faer for his death, though her feelings were quickly forgotten when faced with the idea of losing Oleander as well. After rescuing Vercingetorix (né Fenris) from Gehenna, Constance began to see Oleander as a sister herself. Upon learning from Vercingetorix that Oleander has accepted a proposal from a Kovithian noble fae had never met, Constance was immediately protective of her, worried that Oleander would get faer heartbroken or hurt in the process. However, Constance made it clear that she would stand behind Oleander if this proposal was truly faer wish.

### Soren

Upon meeting, Constance was immediately drawn to Soren's confidence and charisma, providing Constance with a new leader she could enthusiastically follow outside of Eternal Trust. In her desire to be helpful and needed, Constance willingly took on any task that Soren asked of her, and always offered to do even more. This eager willingness to serve inevitably led to Soren taking advantage of Constance's kind and trusting nature, with Constance even carrying all of Soren's bags for him (along with her own) during their travels in Season 1.

Constance was heartbroken upon Soren's arrest and sentence to the tunnels in Maywood. However, she found his return to be just as devastating. After the initial excitement wore off, it was obvious to Constance that Soren wasn't the same as when he left. He no longer asked for her help and was hesitant to accept even when she offered, likely in an attempt to not take advantage of her kindness anymore. Constance, not understanding his change in attitude, feels useless and unneeded to him. Visiting The Iris and seeing Soren at home in his own element only further reinforced these feelings, leading Constance to worry that the Emerald Caravan (and, by extension, Constance) would always be second in his heart.

After discovering that Soren was involved in Oleander's original death (and by extension, Fenris' subsequent sacrifice), Constance's relationship with Soren suffered even further. Though she would never say it out loud, she places much of the blame for Fenris' death on Soren. Soren is the only member of the Emerald Caravan that Constance doesn't trust implicitly and unquestioningly.

Eventually, Soren opened up more to the party, explaining why he was so dedicated to taking down the Queen of Maywood, Cor Skyheart. Upon learning that Queen Skyheart was working with The Good Doctor to use psychomancy against her own children, Constance vowed to Soren that she would do *anything* necessary to help him stop the Queen and The Good Doctor.

Perhaps because of her genuine and unconditional love for those around her, it seems Constance is the only member of the Emerald Caravan that has the ability to make Soren feel truly guilty for anything. She continually urges Soren to talk to Ezara, recognizing that the two are not being honest with each other about their feelings, whatever they may be.

### Tryss

Constance was simultaneously intimidated by and drawn to Tryss Delmont upon meeting. Once she was able to make it past Tryss' rough exterior, Constance connected with Tryss over their weird backgrounds and feeling of not fitting in, and found one to be incredibly wise and insightful. Tryss was able to immediately recognize how mean Constance was being to herself, and tries one's best to lift her up and see her own worth - even at one's own expense.

After the ambush that caused the death of Tawn Tenderlove, Tryss held oneself responsible for leaving Constance alone to fend for herself, which could have potentially ended very badly. However, Constance does not blame Tryss for this at all, insisting that she is able to fend for herself and made it out of the battle just fine.

Post Dreamquake, Constance began to question her validity as a person, believing that The Good Doctor had essentially killed Minerva (her former identity) so that she could exist. Feeling that she was a manufactured person, Constance sought Tryss out, thinking that one may be the only person in the party to understand that feeling. However, Tryss did not react well, chastising Constance for comparing herself to one, believing that Constance was far too good a person to be anything like the monster Tryss seems to see oneself as. Constance does not agree, believing Tryss to be "the coolest."
