Aelyria Valerys

Aelyria Valerys is the younger of twin daughters to Catterik Valerys and a noblewoman from Volaenis. She is the youngest of all Valerys children.

Appearance and Character
Aelyria is buxom and beautiful, with naturally tan skin, large hazel eyes and long, thick black hair that falls to the middle of her back. Taking the Laeaborran side of the Valerys family, from her father. Favouring her mother, she is short, standing at five foot five. When attending to matters of politics, she conceals her lush and curvaceous body with flowing silks, jewels and other ostentatious displays of wealth.

Aelyria is calculating, adventurous and fierce-tempered. When she sees something she desires, she strives to obtain it at all cost. She does not shy away from using her looks to get what she wants and quite often tries to seduce men to do her bidding, occasionally granting sexual favours in this context.

Aelyria understands something her twin does not. “A woman's best weapon is the one between her legs” as she says. With her hedonism, Aelyria believes that if she persuades so many lords to lay with her, then she will eventually gain more power. It seems to be working, as she has become more popular, only among the men however, rather than her virginal and virtuous sister.

History
Aelyria grew up at Fort Raena, the preferred place of residence of her mother. With her brother Ciro sent away as squire at an early age, her best companions during childhood were Laurance, Garritt and Zaera. However, she was closest to her twin Aelinor, with whom she shared everything, including a flagon of wine they had stolen at the age of ten and an early attempted sexual experience with Garritt, to which Aelyria was happy to go forth, but Aelinor cowered away as soon as the member was pulled out.

She has had a vivid sexual imagination and, in accordance with the libertine customs in Volaenis, also sexual experiences from an early age on. She lost her virginity to Aelix Sea at fourteen, which she remembers as a clumsy but sweet encounter.
