Laverna Morcaster

## Alyssandra Aresianne

**Alyssandra Aresianne,** or **Laverna Morcaster,** is a half-elf sorcerer, member of TMOMT Gang, and heir to the Aresianne house.

## **Intro**

Alyssandra Aresianne was born on the 26th Unndilar 802PD, to Lords Gwyfor and Darastrix Aresianne and Lady Jayla Aresianne. The fourth of five children, Alyssandra enjoyed a happy childhood with her family until Winter's Crest 811PD, when her aunt Eyanna attacked the family with the Blackrock family's False Hydra. Jayla and Darastrix were killed and Eyanna assumed position of matriarch, posing as the wife of Lord Gwyfor and the mother of the Aresianne children.

## Biography

Alyssandra's childhood after Eyanna took control of the family was not a happy one. Eyanna was a manipulative mother and quickly turned the eldest three Aresianne children, Petyr, Yessenia and Virion, against the youngest two, Alyssandra and Derryn, whom she perceived to be weak-minded. The siblings all suffered physical and mental abuse from their mother, who manipulated and beat them, modelling them into the perfect nobility. Lord Gwyfor became an absent father, choosing to go on long hunting trips with other Rexxentrum noblemen. He held lavish parties and spent extortionate amounts of money. When he was present, he let Eyanna take charge, choosing not to get involved in family disputes or defend his youngest children. One point of contention between Gwyfor and Eyanna was his continued obsession with Lady Jayla. He regularly commissioned portraits of her, and Eyanna would destroy them. With their memories warped, it was believed by Gwyfor and the wider Rexxentrum nobility that Jayla had been killed in a freak accident before her wedding to him, and Eyanna took her place instead at the wedding.

Alyssandra formed her closest relationship with Derryn, her younger brother and the youngest sibling. Growing up, Eyanna perceived him to be a troublemaker and the most strong-minded and strong-willed of the Aresianne children. As a result, she sought to break him, both emotionally and physically. Eyanna began to encourage the eldest siblings into tormenting Derryn in any way that they could. The violence worsened when it was discovered that Derryn did not share the draconic bloodline. Alyssandra would get into trouble for defending him, in turn making herself a target. They were beaten physically and with magic, and imprisoned in their coffins in the family crypt for hours on end. On one occasion at the family's holiday house, a fifteen-year-old Petyr dragged Derryn from his bed and hunted him through the woods with hounds whilst Alyssandra was held back by Virion to watch.

Due to their shared persecution, Alyssandra and Derryn formed a strong bond. Together they would often sneak out from the house for reprieve, dressing up as commoners and exploring the city together until they were caught.

The violence came to a head on the 3rd Duscar 814PD. At a family dinner, Virion mocked Petyr's fiancee, Lady Salia Lywood. The two entered into a heated argument, resulting in Petyr challenging Virion to a duel.
