OOC: I made this bio before the new update was posted, however my first intention wasn’t to make a noble, that is, with Enide’s land being taken over Lord Bedwyr and her family being killed she now has to hide and also survive so for now it would be best for her to be a castle maid even though she is a noble since she escaped her homeland, is now poor and fears being found.

Name:
Enide Coedwallider
Age:
17
Sex:
Female
Class:
Noble escapade – now a Castle servant.
Appearance:
She is not medium sized and thin, she has long dark brow hair often compared to copper where she comes from. Her deep blue eyes are a living proof of the beauty of the ocean and the stars at night. She is strong concerning body built and whenever her help is needed around the house she gladly does as requested. However her strength also lies in her often-horseback rides for she loves said sport.
She does not normally dress in luxurious clothes nor wears much jewelry since her family is of a humble way of thought. She is very keen on hand-made crafts and does everything at hand to get better at such. Hence the fact that hr hands are not entirely feminine however they are still soft. She has an air of ancestry since her family is one of the few who directly descends from the Welsh Celts just before the Roman invasion.
Character:
Enide is rather passionate about the things she believes in and is rather interested in. Having lost her sister at a rather young age she found most comfort in old literature, annals, romances, whatever could distract her from reality and her solitude for her father was mostly at court, war, or minding his businesses and her mother had chores to tend to and so al her free time Enide devoted to educate her mind not only in literature and history but also in as many languages as she could grasp. Also horseback riding was one of her greatest comforts. She also loves venturing into the wild and looking at the glittering stars at night and cannot believe how anyone could use such beauty to great evil, though people did. That was why she was never allowed outside unless an escort followed her.
The fact that her sister died so suddenly marked her life to the extent of making her rather stubborn when it came to things that could tie her existence and cut her wings to fly. She feels she could never let anyone force her to do anything she doesn’t want to and an arranged marriage is one of her worst enemies. For she blamed it on the kingdom of Powys that her sister died. She grew up pretty much alone when it came to people of he rage and being a noble didn’t always let her time to meet the people of her village. That is one good reason she seldom asks for a favor or even known’s how to thank or even approach people. This is quite a strong contradiction to her cheerful spirit and merry temperament.
One of the things she likes doing the most is helping others, perhaps the fact that she lives close to the people of her village instead of far away like some nobles used to, enabled her heart to easily find the needs of those around her and then she tried to help out. This is where she discovered her magical talents concerning healing though she was also well versed in the art of healing and herbs; it was extraordinary how her abilities surpassed those of most people in her kingdom. It is through this sense of wellbeing that her cheerful nature comes in handy, for most people need someone to make their days, however she did not know her life was to change radically.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
She is a literate and loves helping others as well as venturing into the wild and enjoy the creatures and plants that can be found there. She is rather proud and too adventurous for being someone who lacks knowledge on weapon mastery; she is also impulsive when following her mandatory heart and freedom is one of the things she wishes to preserve concerning following her own path.
Magic:
White magic (healing in particular).
Weaponry Skills:
She has two short swords, heirloom of her father’s family which she took the day she ran away and though she doesn’t possess great fighting skills she can at least stand their light weight and thought that she would at least make sure people didn’t think she was a maiden traveling with no weapons. She would need to be taught on how to use them however, so she basically carried them to remember her beloved father and at the same time scare away any person who could be a threat to her.
Character History:
Enide was born to a noble family, Lord Arvel and Lady Buddug, in the kingdom of Gwent, near the river Wye commonly known as one of the marshes. Her father’s estate flourished for years before problems arose between his lineage and that of a great and powerful noble of the kingdom of Powys and the thought of a possible marriage to solve the difficulties seemed to be the right thing to do, however Enide was much too young and her sister was to be wedded to another High Lord from the kingdom of Mercia.
Enide was six years younger than her sister Canaid but they still formed a great attachment and the fact that suddenly her sister died at childbirth, according to sources, truly killed a great part of Enide within and perhaps that is one of the reasons she turned rather stubborn and opposed any kind of pressure when it came to marriage. Once she reached fifteen years of age the pressure grew, especially by the kingdom of Powys, those noble was obviously only looking for a way to increase his power and heirloom and obviously have his only son develop heirs with aspirations to be a king.
Once she reached seventeen years the pressure was on and one evening, when she got to know Lord Bedwyr had traveled from his homeland to Enide’s home in order to force said marriage to take place the very next morning, she decided to run away. She wasn’t being selfish and she loved her family to bits, but she could not sacrifice herself to this so called duty imprinted on womankind at the time they were conceived and also opposed to being the wife of such a tyrant as Lord Bedwyr’s son, Anwar, truly was, alike his father.
Of course she did not know what such tyrants were planning to do if things did not go as they planned and as such they raided her homeland without her notice and sent well trained warriors and mercenaries to look for her and once they found her bring her before him in the kingdom of Powys. Little did Enide expect to loose all her family members in such little time, it was then when her inner strength would come to light.
She rode for a long time, thinking only to stop if necessary and to try to get as far as possible form her homeland hence reaching the outskirts of Camelot. Tired, hungry and wretched she arrived safely though somehow knows they will still be looking for her wherever she went. This is where Enide’s story unfolds…
Additional Information:
She made friends with a falcon with silver wings called Dyrn, who now follows her and though she does not keep him prisoner he liked his life with hers and goes wherever she goes and is a must helpful friend.
Sample Roleplay:
"… Prison gates won't open up for me on these hands and knees I'm crawlin'… Oh, I reach for you… come please I'm callin'… hurry I'm fallin'…”
It was the typical day in Ethiopia in which things flowed with the casualties of the day before. Everyone woke up early in order for work to begin and finish early so that they could spend more time with their respective families. The farmers would go to the farms and get the bulls or horses ready for the ploughing of the fields that had been already checked for wheat and other cereals, and get it ready for the next harvest. Others were working on putting the wheat in sacks for them to be distributed along Ethiopia.
The men who were paid to work on the lands, fields and so on would wake up the earliest and by the time their bosses had the bulls and horses ready they would be waiting for their early jobs to begin. It was the day before the festivities of Demeter and the time to thank her for such promising harvest. The fishermen left at dawn for the coast side to have the ships ready for fishing and the sails were up as soon as their bosses explained to them the travesty they would have to endure that very day according to astronomers and cartographers.
And it was at that very hour where most women would leave their houses for the little labours that could either add up some salary to the family’s economy or simply to do the expected labours out of them. The Lords of Ethiopia were also early people and they were amidst their respective labours that day as the one before.
In particular the Queen was busy that day making way for the preparations of the festivities of Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest. Andromeda, on the other hand, had gotten up as early as the rest and yet had been busy with allowing the maids to try on her a new dress her mother had bought for her. It was a light blue dress, one that matched the greyness of her dark blue eyes and the soft brown curls of her hair. They combed her hair gently and then fixed some locks to the back of her head allowing the smallest curls to grace the front sides of her head, it was a masterpiece and Andromeda only pitied their labour was not valued enough in the Castle. She put on some silver jewellery and then allowed the maids to finish by placing a silver tiara on her head that had a light blue, transparent veil to it.
She walked in the Castle towards the Temple of Demeter to offer some initiative rituals and sacrifices which merely meant to burn some wheat and offer some honey to it in honour of Demeter inaugurating the next days to come as a celebration to the golden Goddess. She greeted some women she knew from the city who were eager to have more gossiping to pour into their tables at dinner time. It was then when she entered the great temple of the Goddess oh harvest and land fertility and then for a moment looked upon the great statue of the Goddess Demeter, with both awe and fear for the Gods were known for their benevolence and affection but also for their wrath and power.
