Editing Dynasty & Decadence/Medoina (section)

==Backstory==
Peleps Taric Medoina, daughter of Peleps Taric Aisha and Sesus Calto, was a reserved (almost shy) child.  She was far happier among her books or playing with the set of architectural building blocks that one of her relatives had given her than she was demonstrating her skills in front of a group of adults.  Although quite intelligent and as skilled as any other properly raised child of the Dynasty, she was frequently overshadowed by her more outgoing relatives, especially Taen, who always seemed to find favor in Tanic’s eyes.

Still, while she might have occasionally faded into the shadows, her family took note of the areas that her tutor reported interested her and saw to it that she was enrolled in the Gourney Academy, a highly respected primary school that emphasized artistic ability and working with your hands.  She excelled in the school, always scoring near the top of her class, and exalted a couple of months prior to her 11th birthday.

There was some debate about which secondary academy she should attend.  Both the Spiral Academy and the Heptigram were considered.  Medoina preferred the idea of attending the Spiral Academy.  While she had nothing against sorcerers, after all, her Mother was one, she wasn’t entirely certain that she was comfortable with the idea of being one herself.  Ultimately, she still doesn’t know exactly what led to the Spiral Academy being selected. (Perhaps one of her relatives exerted a bit of pressure on her behalf).  Medoina was successful at the Spiral Academy, as well.  Although she was not one of the stars of her class.  

After graduation, Tanic assisted her in obtaining an apprenticeship with one of the most respected manse-architects on the Blessed Isle.   Medonia thrived in the position acting as his supply manager and comptroller as she was trained in the challenging art of manse building.  She worked with him until his retirement.  

It was at this point, with the active assistance of her delighted mother, that Medonia went into business for herself, founding “The Workers of Materials Mundane and Exalted,” a company that handles every aspect of manse construction from design to the supplying of furniture.  The company also offers manse redesign and maintenace services.  While Medonia had always had a good, if, as is normal for Dragon Blooded, somewhat distant relationship with her parents; the collaboration on the company led to her and her Mother grow significantly closer.   

At around the same time, her betrothal to Ragara Noltis, was arranged.  Although, they didn’t actually marry until a decade later, when the company was firmly established and Medonia had a bit more time to focus on that aspect of her life.  While Noltis was a couple of decades older than her and the marriage arranged to strengthen ties between the two houses, the two of them quickly became fond of each other. And, by the time the marriage ceremony took place, they were in love.  They have had three children so far.  The oldest is an Earth Blooded daughter that due to the nature of the marriage contract is considered part of House Ragara and is currently managing one of their estates in the South.  The middle child is attending primary school and could exalt at any time.  The youngest is still in the nursery.

Medoina has made a name for herself as a manse-architect and her business has been quite successful.  At her mother’s urging, the firm regularly donates the design of Manses for Immaculate Temples.  Family members are, also, provided with manses at a substantially reduced cost.  Recently, she has begun moving into the creation of utilitarian artifacts as well and has collaborated with Korel on a few projects.  Her most popular artifact is the thousand comforts lounge, which was admittedly reverse engineered from the First Age version.

Her personality has remained reserved and somewhat bookish and she still is not particularly fond of attending the large social events and parties.  While her social skills are acceptable, they are also the reason she’s not considered “accomplished.”  However, while she is not particularly good with large groups or with those she doesn’t know well, she is devoted to her family and those she considers friends and is quite willing to lend a helping hand when needed.  On the other hand, she tends to be a bit naïve at times; and until she’s made up her mind about something, can often be fairly easily manipulated by those that she trusts.
