HIGHBORN, alura targaryen

[attr="class","bioheader"]personality.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]

• COMPASSIONATE: First and foremost, Alura is a compassionate woman; showing compulsion to care for another person that is injured, or perhaps just seeks her council. Without a second thought she will invite someone to her side that needs it, giving them all but the shirt on her back. Because of this, some think she is a bit soft and can be taken advantage of easily -- but it is just her merciless like nature. She understands the harsh reality of the world and does not go against what must be done for safety or the upholding of law.
• DEVOTED: Alura would not be a good wife if she was not devoted to her husband; but she goes above and beyond that, showing her loyalty to her family and to her kingdom. She takes her position as a Lady of house Targaryen seriously and tries not to sully her name any farther by recklessly saying or doing anything that can have consequence.
• TRADITIONAL: If it worked in the past, then there is no reason to change it correct? Considered to be a customary thinker, Alura personally goes against change and trying new things compared to what has worked in the past or had been established many years ago. Rules, and laws play a part in this especially.
• MORALISTIC: A majority of one's personality and beliefs are manifested through the way that they are raised; Alura is a Targaryen. Sure she is considered a diluted one, but one none the less and she was raised on stories of her family's triumphs and glorious disasters. With that, she has a set moral code that she intends to live by, which is reflected from her highborn lineage; so she is constantly thinking about what is 'right' vs what is 'wrong', which are truly 100% opinionated variables.
• PATIENT: Perhaps the one thing that time has blessed her with [other than her age], is the ability to be patient with others. Be it her husband who is in a irascible mood, or the younger children of her kin, she effortlessly remains calm against their waves of emotions and walks away from a situation that someone would normally react in a brash way--not that she would openly confront anyone that crosses her. Certainly Alura can wait out the storm.
• EMPATHETIC: Nothing could be more powerful than understanding another person's feelings or point of view, which Alura is optimally suited for. The woman has a given sense of empathy, which leads her to getting closer to whomever confides in her.
  Whether or not she uses that to her best of interest depends on the person and the situation -- though most likely she is tending to her family and not her enemy.
• OPTIMISTIC: Not to be confused with naivety, the Lady Targaryen has some youthful optimism when it comes to her vision of the future. Nothing she has seen in her life could specify otherwise, so she continues to rely on hope and her prayer to the gods.
• PRAGMATIC: Though Alura is no commander or queen, she still faces obstacles in her life, though they are petty and miniscule compared to another's problems. Either way she still has a sensible head on her shoulders and uses not only her experience in life, but the wisdom of other to overcome her troubles. She is a very practical person, and looks at facts rather than stories to base her decisions off of. Because of this, Alura naturally makes a good council for her treasured friends and family.
• OSTENTATIOUS: A lady shall not want, right? Though she may not possess mountains of gold or treasure, Alura likes to surround herself with the finer things, -- be it people or objects. It could be assumed that this habit was formed from her lifelong effort in passing herself off as something she was not. Her blackblood will always be a subject of ridicule from fanatics; be they in her home or in the streets, and the woman has developed an insatiable desire to smother their insults rather than accept them.

[attr="class","bioheader"]history.

[attr="class,"bioentry"]A daughter in the line of Duncan Targaryen, and a niece to the King. In all, it meant nothing more than high expectations with not enough influence. Her birth was nothing of legends, but it would be forever the point of many insults and jokes. Muddled Blood they mocked, and Half-Dragon they called, to both her and her older brother. It was nothing more than bullying and eventually it would settle -- at least that is what her mother said. Nonetheless she was a Targaryen through and through, so her father made sure to educate her well, and have her raised to be a proper lady.
[break][break]
Her young days were spent the Septon, her nose in her studies, or at the table where she may have gotten a few quick words in with her father and brother. Mostly she was just in some back garden room with large arches to let the light in as she toiled at her needle point. It was terribly boring. Her only source of fun was during her tutelage in horseback riding -- something she had to plead her father into letting her do. Where she would spend afternoons at the stables learning how to saddle, ride and care for a horse. Despite the less than pleasing scene of the stables, or the pungent smell, she enjoyed the small amount of freedom that riding gave her.
[break][break]
Come her thirteenth year, and Alura having her first moon, fate happened that she would meet Daeron Targaryen, the crown prince. Despite only being seventeen years old, the prince had a weathered and stoic demeanor that was very intimidating to the young girl, and though they had their differences, she had a desire for the fire that burned in his amber eyes. A year later she gave birth to a son, Aerys, and as every new mother is, she was filled with happiness and light.
[break][break]
Come the death of her son's great grandfather, Aegon, she gifted him with every spare ounce of time she could, making sure that he was getting the finest education as his grandfather took the throne. While Jaehaerys the II was a good and noble man, he was the opposite of his son Daeron and said to be weak minded; but his rule was just and peaceful, and at the time her son could be raised without question of his safety.
[break][break]
Though more than a decade passed and life was no different until Daeron had sent Aerys on an excursion that would forever change the world around her. He was to visit the kingdoms and learn of their hardships and customs so that he may better understand them come his time to sit on the Iron throne. At first she was thrilled for her son, having seen how grown he was, she encouraged it. But after two years, she found that she would not see her son again.
[break][break]
Years later, his disappearance still torments her, chipping away at her sanity. She blamed herself, going over the details of his life in search of an answer that wasn't there. Was he feeling smothered? Did he not get the freedom he desired? Was the pressure of the crown too much?
[break][break]
With the death of Jaehaerys II, Daeron was technically without an heir, and his succession to the throne was being questioned now more than ever. So Alura stays vigilante at her husband's side, giving him was useless support she can.

• PAYA: A thoroughbred mare of four years, she is the personal steed of Alura, as the lady had groomed her ever since she was a foal. A dark chestnut color she is decorated with spots highlights of white spots and a silvery mane that is comparable to her own. In size she is smaller than most of the male horses, but serves the Lady appropriately with her skill in taking commands and ability to maneuver in a nimble fashion.
  Since the disappearance of Aerys, Lady Alura fills alot of her time riding on the track around the castle and through the expansive gardens, though she does not protest the desire to leave even farther and ride along the seashore with her personal guard following behind.
