Taegan Winborne

Lady Taegan Winborne is a member of House Winborne and is the eldest daughter of the regnant High Lady of Ortinbras, Marissa Winborne, and her husband, Ragnar Droko.

Appearance and Character
Taegan is a strikingly beautiful woman with fair skin, and a slender, tall, graceful figure with her mother's high cheekbones and blonde hair. Accompanied with sparkling blue eyes, the same colour as her brother's if the muddiness was extracted from his. She has become rebellious and has grown to have a short attention span for things she does not care for. One of her traits that she inherited from her mother is the way she can act like she cares with, what seems, great intention. Taegan is quick-witted and dexterous—she learned basic swordplay in the Winborne tradition. She is fond of the silks and dresses that ladies wear, much like her mother, opposed to the furs and cloths of the normal northerners.

Taegan's relationship with her sister Dannika is often strained, although the two are mirrored in most respects.

History
Born and raised at Ortin's Keep, Taegan had learned the duties of a noble daughter and is tutored by Lady Karin Wytt in the traditional womanly arts. Taegan has a younger sister Dannika and an older brother, Robiorn, whom she has come to love dearly.

When Robiorn left for 'travel', Taegan knew something wasn't right, she spent the entire five years unsure on whether he was okay or not, and that led her to paranoia. She saw Robiorn as the male equivalent of herself, and that's why she loved him and didn't want him to suddenly just fade from history in the mountains. In her state of paranoia, she picked up a sword and shield to learn to defend herself. Marissa didn't encourage it, but Ragnar did. Her divided parents caused her to train her shield-maiden tactics alone and in privacy. Taegan knows she will never serve in the Winborne Armies, but it served as a fine hobby.
