Nimue Vakerian II

Nimue Vakerian II is the third child of Raemor Vakerian, formerly the King of Saerial, and Dowager Queen Selera Vakerian. She had a chaotic childhood causing enough tantrums and slight crimes to gain the attention of her father, but alas he would never budge on his distaste for his magically inclined daughter eventually sending her off to the summer castle of Scalekeep to not have to look upon or deal with her anymore. After the brief dispute between the Qairan and the Dragon Lords that nearly resulted in Nimue's kidnapping, Lady Nimue was sent back to Vakar, living at court as her mother's ward and companion. Eventually came a time where her magic surges grew too great for the Vakerians to endure so they sent her away to the foreign castle institute of Vexniia much to Selera's detest. In 1,325 AC, she returned with a foreign man blue of hair named Astral Vipigi, however, although it was clear she loved him.. he did not in return and as such was made to marry Ser Gerys Aryon, by order of King Raemor and to man the castle that was left empty in the ancestral seat of the Chilia. Ever since, she has grown into a proficient diplomat and competent politician, earning the respect and friendship of many at court, particularly Queen Visaenys. She rides a beautiful red dragon that did not hatch for the first twenty years of her life but grew quite rapidly into a beautiful yet formidable beast.

## Appearance and Character

The bright silver hair she so loathed as a youngster has long faded to a light white instead, seemingly answering her childish prayers. After blossoming into a great beauty, with delicate features and porcelain skin, the Lady of Summer is now aging with grace. When she's silent her quick, light red eyes are constantly gazing her surroundings, pensive and careful – when she speaks, instead, they used to turn bright and lively but has dulled in recent years with the constant fighting, and quite unable to conceal her formidable wit.

From a shy little thing, living in the memories of her past, the second to last child of the late King had bloomed in the Foreign Institute of Vexniia, where she was an active, respected presence. Since her return she grew introverted by nature, however she has learned to speak the tongue of the court with ease: her moments of solitude, spent in the sole company of a dusty tome, remain a sacred part of her day.

Though forced into a fulfilling role as advisor and lady burdained with the loss of the man she was just beginning to love, Nimue did well for herself, improving her financial standing and her position within the court. Her renown was aided by her new status as a dragonrider: the elegant Melayx, remained calm when in the presence of the Lady Nimue. One day, with no little reluctance, the women finally claimed the She-dragon for herself – from that day, their bond grows ever deeper.

During the years she has cultivated many close relationships at court - chief amongst them her bond with Queen Visaenys. Their relationship has developed from mutual admiration to friendship and cooperation and now Nimue is Visaenys's left hand, always next to the queen when she can and ready to give her her counsel even all the way from Vraeseon.
