## Description

### Personality

Vashti has been described as sullen, willfulness, shrewd, and extremely intelligent so much that that her Uncle Balder and Asur Vyrbeian took notice and helped her grow her intellect in different ways; Asur gave her books on astronomy, math and physics where her uncle funded her education and was one of her main allies in court.

It was meeting (\*&\*) and developing a close platonic friendship did her scientific career soar and together they formed the Court of Stars where she began publishing her papers and work and even did classes at her former school.

### Appearance

From confirmed surviving portraits of her, she has silvery platinum hair with a single thick golden streak, soft lilac eyes, thin-lipped and angular in face and body. She has long thin fingers that she kept short and neat. She wore her hair long, pulled back, and braided, and was always being told it was her crowning beauty.

Vashti was not a great beauty in her youth, unlike like her sisters. At age eleven, she was described as a "*skinny little thing*", but awkward and gangly. However, her beauty matured as she grew older, and it was said that she was more beautiful at age seventy than at age seventeen. However, she cut it short and close to defy her brother Vanitas for imprisoning her and afterwards continued wearing her hair short.

## Etymology

* Vashti possibly means "thread" in Hebrew, but it is most likely of Persian origin. In the Old Testament this is the name of the first wife of King Ahasuerus of Persia before he marries Esther.
* Aynokion comes from *Aenocyon* which means "dreadful, terrible" in Latin.
	+ Aynokion means "skeleton horn" in Old Vanerian.

## Trivia

* Vashti character was greatly influenced by the real-life 18th century scientists Nicole-Reine Lepaute and Émilie du Châtelet.
* She was an Atheist.
* She shared a close relationship with her Uncle Balder, naming her third child after him as he supported her interest in science and math.
* Vashti's most cherished possession was a dragon's egg whose stony shell showed the same colors as her hair. Upon her death, her daughter Vivienne inherited it from her mother.
