Sabeline Klossner

Above all, Sabeline wants respect. But she is willing to stoop very low to reach that goal. From her courtesan work, she is fairly wealthy for a single woman living in Bastion City. She has a weakness for bad boys and is drawn to dangerous men, an infatuation called hybristophilia.

## **Biography**

### Childhood

AGE 0 - 1067: Agnes (mother) gives birth to SABELINE with Ivan Klossner (father). Agnes and Ivan are wed that year. Rumors begin that Jakov (half-brother) is not the legit son of Gordon, but the bastard son of Ivan. While in the midst of trying to save her son's reputation, Agnes missed that Maeve (half-sister) was stirring up trouble of her own.
Age 1 - 1068: Maeve (half-sister) gives birth to Daria (illegitimate neice) who was conceived with Edmund Blackthorne. Maeve quickly was wed to Klaus Rookwood. Keyair (uncle) marries Mira (cousin) and soon after Sebastien Rodin II (cousin) is born to them. Yver (cousin) marries Iona Dalman and takes her name.

Age 2 - 1069: Talia and Hildegard (twins, cousins) are born to Maeve and Klaus in 1069. Rhoslyn (cousin) is born to M&T Holdenhome.

Age 3 - 1070: Brecilidian Rebellion begins. Ivan (father) goes to war. Agnes (mother) discovers her pregnancy. Solara (cousin) dies during the BR. Ewann (uncle) dies during the BR.

Age 4 - 1071: Agnes (mother) gives birth to Jennifer (sister) in 1071. Lucienne (cousin) is born to Mira (cousin). Katarina (cousin) is born to Y&I Dalman. Agnes (mother) is unable to go to war as it takes her longer to recover from childbirth due to her age.

Age 5 - 1072: Agnes (mother) joins her husband at war in 1072. Keyair (uncle) sustains a permanent injury from the BR. Bedivere Ludlow (cousin) dies during the BR.

Age 6 - 1073: Johanna (niece) is born to M&K Rookwood in 1073. The Brecilidian Rebellion ends.

Age 7 - 1074: Agnes' (mother) twin Amara (aunt) committed suicide on 18th of Drake's Moon, on the fourth eve of her husband Ewann's death.

Age 8 - 1075: Everything goes wrong in 1075. The Necromantic Assault on Caybourne occurs, taking the lives of Carndas (step-grandfather/cousin), Lyron (cousin), Talia Ludlow (cousin-in-law), Nolvenna (cousin), Morgan Canis (cousin), and her own father Ivan Klossner. One happy interval was the birth of Freyja Rookwood (niece) to M&K Rookwood. Then the Monarch died and Gordon Blackthorne was crowned Monarch. THEN, the Red Death happened, taking the lives of: Iolrath Kenris (cousin's husband), Ygraine (aunt), Talia Holdenhome (cousin's wife), and Edith (cousin). Daria Bay moved to live with Claire.

Age 9 - 1076: Maria (half-sister) marries Percival Umbridge in 1076. Warren (uncle) attempted suicide. Agnes, her son Jakov, and daughters Sabeline and Jennifer move to a chateau along the road from Homefast to Bastion City, on the coastline - Agnes begins setting this place up as an inn and calls it The Honeysuckle.

Age 10 - 1077: Lucy (niece) is born to M&K Rookwood in 1077. Mancel Holdenhome (cousin) remarries to a commoner of Bastion City named Chandri.

Age 11 - 1078: Keyair (uncle) dies in 1078 due to suicide and complications of an injury from the BR. His son Sebastien (cousin) is named heir to House Rodin. **At this time, Sabeline really understands how she will always be considered a bastard and an outcast, with no true heritage to gain - even her legitimate little sister Jennifer had more respect than she did simply because she was born within wedlock.**

Age 12 - 1079: Patience (cousin) is born to Y&I Dalman in 1079. Juniper (niece) is born to M&P Umbridge.

Age 13 - 1080 : Beatrice and Zephora (cousins) murder a man in 1080 and disappear, joining The Barbed Quills. **Sabeline finds this scandalous but exciting.**

Age 15 - 1082: Ameline II (niece) is born to M&K Rookwood in 1082. **Sabeline is caught prostituting herself to inn patrons by her mother who sends her to Homefast to train with the Melisende in hopes of creating a more respectable girl. Sabeline escapes to Bastion City where she finds room and rent at a whorehouse.**

Age 16 - 1083: Ann (cousin) is born to Y&I Dalman in 1083. **Sabeline has experienced the more violent side of whoring and taken up learning some basic self-defense.**

Age 18 - 1085: Clara (niece) is born to M&K Rookwood in 1085. **By this time, Sabeline has garnered a more respectable clientele among the nobility. She now keeps her own apartment and business. She has graduated to learning knife-fighting on the down-low. She has been contacted by Serenity Morvala to work as an informant, reporting pillow-talk.**

Age 19 - 1086: **Sabeline has enough self-confidence to blatantly approach her family again, now working as a respectable courtesan or available mistress... while also secretly working for Serenity Morvala. She attempts to strike up a friendship with her niece Daria Bay, but it is difficult with the interference of Claire.**
