A noble youth in a coming of age story who, through the untimely and unexpected misfortune of kin, has inherited a settlement, and has been charged with the defense of its people and entrusted with its future.
Others might see her as shrouded in mystery, as a sweet summer child trying to set up a foothold in a world she scarcely knows. Some may have high hopes for the young Lady who withholds smiles and frowns, who speaks so rarely of the matters she keeps close to her chest. They hope she is brave and resilient. They pray she is strong. Others doubt her, waiting for the day that she breaks from a responsibility that someone her age is ill suited for. They think she is silly and vain, a feckless child in a court of villains and cutthroats. Some, perhaps, are afraid for the Maid of Brightwall.
On the surface, she is a picture of propriety and calm resolve, at least she hopes. She is surrounded by stalwart protectors always, loyal menn and womenn who have sworn their lives to her cause.
She is the softspoken but pragmatic Lady of Brightwall, devoted to the prosperity of her city and the happiness of its people.
