Aelrie
Aelrie is the third-born of the royal house of Naos, and the oldest daughter. Expectations clung to her like a second skin from the moment she came of age. She was to marry well, secure alliances, and serve as the kingdom’s graceful envoy. She did. Her husband is a nobleman of good standing, the match respectable but cold, more duty than desire.
Though she wears her role with poise, there's a quiet bitterness beneath the surface. She sees how Velaris has been spared the same fate, protected by Ilphas’s careful hand, and envy creeps in all the same while she would never speak it aloud.
Aelrie is composed, measured, and dutiful in public, but behind castle walls, her sharp mind and sharper tongue come alive. She does not seek to defy her station, only to breathe beyond it. She dreams of seeing the world beyond Naos of places where a princess is not a pawn, and a woman might choose her fate.
Despite the weight of her marriage, she spends as much time in the palace as she can, drawn back to her siblings. They remain the truest part of her life; frustrating, beloved, and hers. She watches over them with a quiet, protective grace, especially the younger two, and if ever there’s a decision to be made in their interest, Aelrie will not hesitate to speak.
