She grew up as pampered as one might expect, with few expectations. her brothers were all in line for the throne before her, of course, and had positions and promises carved out for them at birth. Lythia, however... well... She grew up knowing that she was to be wed. A promising young prince here, a sharp ally there, who knew? She was brought up with all the graces and etiquette expected of a young lady. As a child it was all so fascinating, the visions of handsome princes on shining white horses, and a swirl of state parties and being called "the lady duchess" or what-have you made her<em>siiiigh</em>dreamily.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, getting older meant meeting some of those princes, and attending those parties, and Lythia found them... not quite living up to expectations. The people she met rarely had anything ot talk about except themselves and each other. She'd always wanted to know what was going on outside the palace grounds; she could<em>see</em>the people of Tibbelsberg out of the window, or if she was<em>very</em>daring, peep over the garden wall. whenever she asked her father, he simply shooed her off, while the queen just found ways to usher her to embroidery or her elvish lessons, or some other diversion.<br/><br/>In the tradition of bored princesses everywhere then, it was no great struggle to get her youngest brother to help sneak her out of the palace. She didn't go far, and Stefan kept a close eye on her, but they toured the nearby market and saw the grand Cathedral of st. Cuthbert. Stefan hurried her back in for Piano lessons after bout an hour, but one thing Lythia saw was never explained; an old man, hunched beside a cart, coughing and dressed in rags. Stefan had no answers for her, and she<em>certainly</em>couldn't ask her mother or father about it!<br/><br/>After a time, she no longer needed Stefan; and would sneak out on her own, surreptitiously leaving crusts from the kitchens with people who looked hungry. It was during one such escapade that she met Meliisy, another young woman who was all the more captivating for the fact she was a half-elf! Meliisy had seen her acts of charity, and brought the disguised young woman to a large tent near the harbor district, where she and her fellows in faith were tending the city's ill. Here, Lythia found a cause, a purpose, and faith in Sarenrae!<br/><br/>She began to sneak out more and stay out longer, and her trips did not go unnoticed. King Lucas was at first willing to tolerate the curiosities of his daughter, assigning guards to shadow her and keep her safe on her forays... but finding out she had fallen in with some sort of foreign sun-goddess cult? Oh no, no that would not do He confronted Lythia, and forbade her from leaving the Palace unsupervised again. An order which she defied. Repeatedly. when the Bishop of the cathedral came to complain about the missionaries being a "bad influence," he mentioned a girl who looked very like Lythia... and that she had been kissing some half-elven harlot! Well, naturally King Lucas could not have any of<em>this</em>nonsense, and quickly sent his guards out into the city.<br/><br/>Lythia was, of course, captured, while Myeliisi and most of the other acolytes managed to escape. Lythia was confined to her room, under guard, with only her handmaiden and family to console her. Alternatively angry and despairing, she begged her lady-in-waiting to find a way out of the palace... Only, as you all know, to be betrayed in the end. Of course, she doesn't<em>know</em>that... She thinks perhaps good Helen managed to catch the king's ear and convince him, because, of course, Helen is a very persuasive lady!<br/><br/>So now, here Lythia is, assigned "by lottery" to a professional adventuring company who will keep her safe while showing her the ropes. of course King Lucas has asserted he still doesn't approve, but if you want to do something, you need to do it right, right?<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Avellythia is a very devoted servant of the Dawnflower, especially in her aspects as healer and redeemer. She has a massive soft spot for the needy in "her" kingdom, and wonders why her father is so unaware of their plight (no doubt, he's just very busy with all the other things a king must worry about!) She's absolutely naive, and while her faith teaches her that evil is definitely a thing that exists and must be opposed, she's yet to meet such a thing! She's very devoted to her father and can't imagine that this escapade could be a cruel punishment, for example. Though she knows her assignment with the party is to tend their wounds, she definitely wants to do more, not just to impress these strangers, but also to improve herself! Surely a party headed by a Paladin will have the right direction for that sort of thing! She's out to be the best damn healer she possibly can be. Which given her limited experience is probably not going to be that amazing.<br/><br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Naive doesn't mean<em>completely</em>innocent. Lythia was indeed kissing her mentor in the Sarenrae camp, and the two had shared more than a few touches before. Which is more than she and Helen shared (She'll never admit it, but she judged Meliisa's kisses by a standard set by her handmaiden!) She's also peeped in on her brothers now and then, just out of curiosity! Honest! She's never been with a man, nor done anything beyond that heavy petting with a woman.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Avellythia takes more strongly after her mother than her broad, dark father. She's not as tall as the queen-consort, but she does have the woman's thick blonde hair and fetching curves; certainly not as voloptuous as that forty-something mother of four, but still, more than enough to catch most eyes at those abysmal parties! Her own eyes are a deep sapphire blue, framed with thick lashes, and often holding a beatific expression paired with a small smile on her rosebud lips. For this "adventure," she's been equipped from the palace; a suit of "plate mail" that has been "specially crafted" just for her (i.e., parade armor that looks nice and might help her at least not die), a shield emblazoned with the crest of the house of Elandor and - at her insistence! - a scimitar. She feels like she cuts quite the figure and is ready to tackle<em>anything</em>in this getup!
