Info

Ysuelt is the unwanted child of a spoilt nobleman and his exotic unsuitable wife, so unsuitable that his family refused to recognise her. Ysuelt’s mother died when Ysuelt was 4. Once her mother died Ysuelt’s care went to her mother’s maid/companion, Anna. Both of them were banished to a small country estate, while her father mended fences with his family. While Ysuelt was his heir, her education was overseen by her father. He organised her tutors, she was taught the necessary skills to make her an acceptable wife in a dynastic marriage. However when she was 10, her father remarried and his interest in her education tapered off once his other children were born. Left alone, Anna took over her education, her lessons got much more interesting. Anna would never explain why she thought Ysuelt would need them but she seemed convinced she would. When Ysuelt turned 16 her father advised her that he was sending her to Sta Tereza’s. He indicated he expected her to take orders, fortunately the gift he gave them to accept her bore no such strings, but did ensure a roof over her head. Anna of course came with her. Anna died last winter, a cough that wouldn’t leave her. Towards the end she didn’t seem to recognise Ysuelt, constantly calling her by her mother’s name. Talking of things and places that made no sense to Ysuelt but leading Ysuelt to believe that her mother had lead a wild life before coming to Kuril. Ysuelt was even more surprised when Anna started talking about Ysuelt’s birth. Ysuelt’s birthday was on the 22nd day of Huth, at least that was what everyone had believed. Anna talked of the journey she had taken with Angharad, Ysuelt’s mother, and of the small cottage they had stayed at for the birth. Nothing new there she’d always known her mother had gone to the country for quiet before the birth. However Anna in her delirium relived Ysuelt’s birth, a birth that was over a week later than Ysuelt had believed. Ysuelt wasn’t born for the magical path she’d always believed, but for the path of deceit and Anna had always known. Was that why Anna had changed the direction of her training, to make her more suitable for her true path? After Anna’s death Ysuelt debated long with herself, she was happy at the Convent even though she had no true calling. Should she stay or should she make her own way in the world. Finally she asked for permission to travel to the Abbey and to seek her true path in the heartstone. She was granted it.

Notes

Father Guy blonde hair blue eyes Mother Angharad Very dark brown hair and eyes

Stepmother Isabelle and 3 half-siblings (Brother Michael 16, Alicia 13, Gervaise 11)all blonde haired and blue/grey eyes. She has never met the rest of the family.

Anna (now deceased)originally some sort of chaperone/companion to Angharad and then nurse/governess/companion to Ysuelt

Mistress Madeline Ysuelt's original governess. An older woman possibly a cousin in reduced financial circumstances. Ysuelt and she did not get on, Madeline ran the house constantly putting Anna in the role of servant and making sure that Ysuelt knew that she was unwanted. Mistress Madeline eventually went to run the new nursery for Ysuelt's stepmother. Ysuelt had several instructors under Madeline, a dancing master, a singing instructor, an etiquette mistress and a arts mistress. None of them stayed after Madeline left and Ysuelt doesn't remember them all that well. Ysuelt was only 8 when Madeline left, she does remember that they all seemed to be friends of Madeline.

Master Thomas took over from Mistress Madeline, Anna arranged for him to come. Master Thomas was lame in one leg, an accident on the job he said, He never said what sort of work. He and Anna worked together to train Ysuelt. One thing Ysuelt never learnt about was Master Thomas. He never dropped any information about himself, in fact Ysuelt isn't sure what he really looked like.

Ysuelt is 20yo 5'2 wiry build with sherry brown eyes and dark brown hair.
