Aislinn Dorne

"She is both hellfire and holy water."

▪ (Brief house overview) Old blood, original members clawed their way to the elevated standing, then worked tirelessly to maintain it. Some intermarriage to keep the bloodline "pure", very strict about marrying up and siring only Midlander children. After some rigorous time and work, Desrosiers became a prominent name, boasting superior numbers and resources. Enjoyed a steady century of prosperity and then a following century of gradual decline, a suffering culmination of illness, infertility and various scandals. The Desrosiers house is now a shadow of its former glory, barren and shamed.

▪ Hugh and Cecily Desrosiers sought to restore the house's prestige, mercilessly attempting to groom their children, Aislinn and Wilmund, into their visions of perfection. Wilmund was steered toward knighthood, and Aislinn was subjected to a slew of etiquette lessons, prepping the girl for upward movement through marriage.

▪ Wilmund complied, but Aislinn and her wild heart yearned for more, for adventure and freedom. She rebelled at every turn; sneaking out to drink or romp in the stables, wearing trousers under her dresses

L I K E S

■ Incredibly proud and out to prove herself, Aislinn strives to do her best in everything she attempts. Nothing short of perfection is tolerated.

■ Text. Text, text, text, text.

D I S L I K E S

■ Abhors feeling patronized and is slow to reveal her story, lest the listener offer sympathy. Rarely will she accept aid of any kind.

■ Text. Text, text, text, text.

Q U I R K S

■ Easily prone to irritation, and expresses this openly through gestures: shoves her bangs aside, crosses her arms, narrows her eyes, etc.

■ Finds the idea of 'relaxation' to be a waste of time - she would always rather be doing something, and when she moves, it's briskly, as though perpetually in a hurry.

■ Speaks brusquely and with little regard for small talk/social pleasantries. Does not frequently laugh or smile; when she does, it's more often a smirk or bitter chuckle.

Wilmund Desrosiers ( ♥ ) ( NPC ) - Older Brother
Pliable and compassionate, Wilmund did not fare well under their parents insistence. He strove to make them proud, bending to their whims, despite whatever preference or opinion he might harbor. He became a knight, per their wishes, and was training to join the ranks of the Dragoons, though he had little interest in joining the war effort. Alas, it cost him dearly - he ventured out to fulfill a trial, and never returned. The family presumes him dead, though his body was never discovered.

Biorn Gagnon ( ♠ ) ( NPC ) - Fiancé

Steel Crag ( ♥ ) - My Thief
Days after her arrival to Gridania, Steel failed in an attempt to pick pocket Aislinn, and after she chased him into the Carline Canopy for a confrontation, the two shared a drink...or three. It was here a defining deal was struck; Steel would kill her parents and fiancé, and Aislinn would pay him with whatever piece of her he wanted. The two bicker intensely, but share a mutual attraction, one which blossomed passionately after a failed contract led to an ambush. He's stolen her heart, and she's taken to dubbing him "my thief".
