**ORIGINS**

Alette was born in 974 AC (After Compromise) to Yasmine and Ivar of the clan Pedersen in the Crescent Isles. When Alette was thirteen, she was engaged to the clan leader's son, Olsen. Two weeks later, when the two where playing in the woods, a boar attacked them and Alette ended up killing Olsen on accident while trying to kill the animal. She was disowned and banished and all she wished for was to be able to fly far away from the Crescent Isles and never return.

In the year 1,000 AC, Alette participated in the two hundredth Festyan, being one of sixty people to live that year. She quickly became known as someone with a gift for violence, quickly finding her place among the upír and House Keres.

**NIKRAN**

Within the first year of surviving Festyan, Alette was in the Hollow Wood when a baby winter dragon came to her. It took thirty years for Nikran to become fully grown dragon, most of her adolescence being spent in Versaine by Alette's side. Nikran is closely related to the ancient wyrms, unable to breathe fire and quite small in comparison to the modern dragons that roam the Lost Winterlands or the Summerlands.

Alette is the forty-sixth upír to have a dragon familiar, and the only one still alive.

**ACHIEVEMENTS**

Alette's greatest achievement to date is becoming the first female Sovran in history. She had served as the Head of the City Guard of Orileon for fifty years, completely transforming the city. When the previous Sovran of Keres House died in a Venom overdose, the people voted for Alette to take over.

She has also been undefeated for seventy-three years in the Pit. Durante Browning, a manipulator, is the only one to come close to beating her in recent history. She also hold the record for how many times a mortal family has hired a single upír in their lifetime.

When Alette was still a newblood, she caught the attentions of Avalloch and became his official mistress for thirteen years before both of them became disinterested and cordially split ways. For a long while, the court referred to her as 'The Great Whore' for her entanglement with the High Sovran. Although, Alette and Avalloch regarded each other as friends for a long time until Alette had become a Sovran, something that goes against Avalloch's ancient views on women.

**FINERY**

Alette's garments include one full set of silver armor of plated metal with a raised collar and white fur capped shoulders, a yellow-green velvet tunic dress with a laced corseted top decorated with braided lengths of silk, A floor length hooded rough-edged white fur cloak from the Crescent Isles, a riding getup of black dyed leather pants accompanied with a fair fitting bleached linen shirt with attachable dragon scaled pauldrons and overlaid with a black leather cincher, and finally several dresses Avalloch had gifted her in her time as his mistress, but she has long forgotten what they look like.

**WEAPONS**

Alette prefers daggers over long swords. She has two dragon hilted silver split blade daggers that she carries almost at all times and an assortment of small throwing knives and push daggers that she keeps in leathers around her thighs, arms, anywhere she can. Alette is known to always have a dagger under her pillow, no matter is she is sleeping or not.
