Appearance and Character
Furiae has inherited the classical Haguns traits: raven black hair, striking blue eyes and sharp beautiful features. High cheekbones adorne an easy smile to come by. She stands 5'7 tall, with a slender and elegant figure. In general, she would be considered beautiful or pretty by most people. Her body is not particulary strong and she could easily lose a fight against a stronger opponent on unarmed combat, although she has some skills with a sword.
Furiae is confident and proud of her heritage, and considers herself intelligent and cunning, having no qualms in making use of her appearance to enthrall others or obtain favour. She is willful, impatient and hot tempered, but those characteristics come more from her age and upbringing than to natural predisposition. In truth, the Haguns girl has sound judgement and a good moral compass, and abhors injustice. She firmly believes in individual freedom, and that no one should be bound by promises made by others. Accordingly to her free spirit and defiant nature, she will only accept to follow a ruler she trusts.
Her weaknesses are her quick temper and easily hurt pride. She has a tendency to hold grudges against her opponents. Despite this, she can recognize valour and grow to respect a rival should she deem him worthy.
In court or social settings, Furiae wears light gowns of velvet and lace, and her favorite colour is blue, matching with her eyes. When riding her horse Swiftstar, she wears padded leather, breastplate, graves and cuisses. She finds full plate mail too heavy for her, preferring light armour.
Upbringing and life before arriving at the shores of Tol Goldora
Furiae was the youngest in the cadet branch of House Haguns, daughter of Julius and Erin. She grew up as a lesser noble of a smaller and poorer branch of House de Hagun. Without great expectations for her future, she was quite neglected as a child in favour of her older brothers and sisters. The lack of attention had its perks, allowing her some freedom to play with other children her age, without a care for social standing.
Eventually, after she had seen 7 winters, she was sent as a ward to her maternal uncle's manor, who was a powerful and influential noble. Furiae's parents wanted her to learn proper etiquette, so she could grow up to become a lady-in-waiting to serve the higher nobility. This in turn would bring potential matches for her and opportunities for the Haguns. Afraid to be away from "home" for the first time, she was welcomed as royalty by her uncle sir Noah de Mohun, finding herself pampered like never before. Sir Noah and his wife were famously indulgent and felt specially spendthrifty towards their niece. Unable to have children of their own, they found that Furiae made their house livelier with her willful, yet cute and innocent behavior, peppered by childhood curiosity. Meanwhile, Furiae enjoyed the best silks, velvet, jewels and toys money could buy, as well as the attention that had been denied to her so far.
One day, after receiving the news that her cousin Orpheu was being tutored to become a knight, she became jealous of the young boy's fortune and demanded to be trained in arms as well as in etiquette, so she could be knighted herself. The Mohuns tried in vain to explain that as a young noble lady, she would eventually settle down and marry a knight or even a lord, so she should not worry herself with swords and shields, and more about traditional womanly activities. Furiae threw such a furious tantrum that the Mohuns were convinced that it was better to pay for her training than to try and convince their beloved ward otherwise. The older couple had a sweet spot for their "little princess", and thought no harm could come if the girl knew how to defend herself.
By the time Furiae had seen seventeen winters, the girl had matured into one of the beauties of the realm, and many nobles sought her hand in marriage, offering large sums to her family. However, Furiae refused each suitor, decided as she was that she would have the final say on to whom she would marry, when she would marry, and even if she was ever to marry. Soon enough her father's patience ran out and he went straight to the Mohun's manor to fetch her defiant daughter, who was to be married to a middle-aged knight who had offered the largest price so far for the young Haguns girl's hand. Their parents had already accepted the proposal in her name, and half of the price had been paid in gold coins. Without options, and taken by surprise, she went with her father as she plotted how to deal with this situation...
A week prior her wedding, knowing that she would soon be sent away to the knight's estate, Furiae decided to move forward with her plan. As her family slept and dreamed of all the gold coins her daughter would bring them, the young Haguns girl moved forward with her plan. She stole her father's sword and horse, as well as the bridal price that had been paid in advance to her family, and galloped as fast as she could towards Pelasgia. There, she paid for accomodations in a ship that was sailing away to far and distant lands... to Tol Gondora, in Dwilight, where she hoped would be free to shape her own destiny. Through iron and fire.
