Irwin “Princess Liliana”

Name: Irwin (uses the name “Princess Liliana” in public)

Appearance:
Blond hair, wavy, worn in two braids that reach the chest. Pale blue eyes, almond-shaped, usually cold or irritated in expression. Skin pale, features fine, lips pale pink, often pressed into a discontented frown. Wears elaborate dresses with lace and ribbons, hair topped with a lace bonnet or cap that hides part of the face. Build slight and delicate, movements precise and graceful — the result of years of strict training rather than natural inclination.

Personality:
Capricious, quick-tempered, used to having the final word. Shifts easily from icy indifference to sudden bursts of fury. Possessive toward anyone he considers “his” — jealous, watchful, capable of making a scene over nothing. Feels no guilt about frightening, humiliating, or eliminating anyone he sees as a threat — considers it the price of survival. Underneath, there’s exhaustion and anger at the whole situation: he hates the dress, the ribbons, the soft voice he has to use, hates bowing and smiling for the court. But the role is so deeply ingrained that it comes out almost automatically now, even when he’s alone.
