Tavoqi Rowan

## Appearance and Character

Tavoqi is a petite woman, standing no more than 5ft. 5in. in height though she makes up for it in spirit. She is relatively fit and tone from her many years of riding. Still, her complexion and body is slated to be near perfection in the north.

Unlike her mother and late sister, Alys, Tavoqi has inherited her family's light platinum blonde hair, which fall in luxuriant locks that appear near silver in natural lighting typically worn loose as she enjoys the unrestricted breeze. She has light skin that tans easily in direct sunlight, with a small beauty mark near the corner of her mouth. Although it's hardly noticeable unless one stares to harshly whereas some have even said it only enhances her beauty,

Much similar to her older brother, she was also born with the same light blue colored-eyes as he. A stark difference from Alys' deeper violet ones and congenital effect of indirect waned dragon lineage through that of her great grandmother, Naerys Mullyn.

It also known that she is usually seen wearing a pendant necklace given to her by her husband Barthar Rowan when they first met at an art gallery event that went on in the palace of Penrith.

As a child, the young noblewoman grew up in lap of wealth. Where her mother’s authoritative voice was not far away, she relished on having her Lord father wrapped around her finger. He gifted her a Qairan stallion on her seventh nameday, much to her sister's dismay as Tavoqi was the only one to recieve a stallion. A sand steed she named, Bright-tail. Tavoqi spent many days tending to the creature until it died after a terrible accident involving her older sister, Alys and brother Gerold. Neither of her parents were ever able to get the truth out of them, but Tavoqi suspected her siblings used Bright-tail in a makeshift tourney. They often used padded lances while riding live horses.

Leyton bought her another, and ordered Alys and Gerold clean after the thing until their debt repaid. Unfortunately, Tavoqi never bonded with the mare and Gerold was allowed to take Brownheart after he took his leave for Ruizar.

Tavoqi continued with her studies of the arts but fell out of riding in favor of a new past-time. Arcane Studies. Her great uncle Maester Favian, sent books and trinkets for his two nieces. One of them being, the ‘The Studies of Arcane Arts’. In 1,338 A.C her great-aunt Denyse visited the manse of her family, and it was then that Tavoqi learned things about her ancestry.

It was revealed that her great-great-aunt, Lollys Lakorann was known to dabble in both Arcane Studies and necromancy. A tale of twisted reverie came with it after birthing a male stillborn, she ordered all of the servants out of the room, save for one wet nurse.

Though not much is known about what went on in the room, many suspect Lollys used necromancy in an attempt to bring her son back to life. When the Maester took the baby boy’s lifeless body, he noted that no blood filled his veins and there were no cuts or tears that indicated foul-play. It was unusual to say the least. Lollys was never able to deliver a healthy babe and her husband at the time eventually took another spouse.

Tavoqi had no intentions to practice in the dark arts, Denyse did teach her the groundwork of Arcane Studies. However, when Tavoqi's mother learned of their discretions, she ordered Denyse leave the manse at once and forbid Tavoqi from using the ‘arts’.  Not long after she met and wed Barthar and ever since she has lived within the Rowan Palace.
