Raised to be the heir of the family, when her brother was born she did not gave up the military training and decided to serve the realm as a knight. Holds a deep loyalty towards Falasan, maybe a drop of hatred towards its enemies. Believes in honor and compassion. Currently married to Willem Tinsley and Baroness of Nazia, Ilya is learning to enjoy the diplomatic transactions.
The Basics
- A somewhat tall woman, enough to look the majority of men leveled in the eyes, yet without imposing her presence so much as to be frightening. A smart woman, she knows how to work her appearance as to give the desired impression on people.
- Her hair is a light tone of brown, long, falling around her waist. She likes to use it tied in many different ways, so it won't get in her way on battle or other duties.
- Eyes are in a light honeysh tone, one would say the colour of the honey made from orange flowers, beautiful, honest eyes.
- Her body is strong, but slim. She isn't a very strong lady, as she prefers the arch to the sword. Her will is firm, and she knows how to tame horses very well, though not as well as Vanya. Her favourite sense is hearing, for is what keeps her feet on the ground while her eyes look for the prey when she has a bow on her hands.
The Story
Ilya started in Falasan as a Dame of Menedor, the first of her family to take the path of the sword. Her parents only had girls for children, and soon they realized they were the ones to inherit their property. Thus, the girls were raised to know many subjects only known to men: sword fighting, writing, basics of military strategy, how to deal with soldiers, and not to bend their heads to men. Ilya always preferred the bow to the sword, and enjoyed spending time with the recruits at her father's manor, training. She was utterly relieved when her brother was born, when she was 10 years old, for she could now take her time to be who she wanted, and turned into a knight as soon as she could. Her first unit was the Ilya's Eagles, composed of archers, that were later on turned into militia to protect Menedor.
Among the first people who greeted her on her first days in duty was Willem, also from Menedor. He gave her advice on how to deal with her men so they would listen to her better, soon they were friends, and even sooner they were more than friends. The time passed, Ilya joined the Black Army, where Willem was already, Willem became Marquis of Amdor, and, later on, Ilya became Baroness of Nazia.
It was only after that that Willem proposed to Ilya and they were betrothed. The wedding took place in the first tournament Falasan saw in a long time, in Tucha, hosted by Duke Fatih.
