Shelved Character Alondra Croy

[babaMP3]

Character Information:
Full Name: Alondra Croy (née Anahera)
Heritage / Culture: Daendroque/Regal
Age: 45
Gender / Pronouns: Female, she/her

Core Concept:
A gracefully aging noblewoman and satisfied widow, Alondra Croy is the favorite child of a devious and depraved political mother. The usual Alonda Croy would be a woman quite happy to play the part of the content and inoffensive widow, enjoying the cool and comfortable airs swirling in the shadow of her rising stepson, Byron Croy. Having recently arrived in Regalia on her esteemed son's coattails, Alondra suddenly found a new fiery passion in her heart: Sudden untempered ambition, a notion of purpose, and a sense of responsibility, ostensibly to ensure her Byron succeeds to the highest heights the capital could provide for him–and for herself too, as it happens…

Appearance Information:
Alondra Croy is a mid-height woman with a heavier build, her many years of enjoying the riches of good food and very little physical activity easy to showcase. Alondra sports the usual emerald green eyes of the Anaheras, but her hair is notably black rather than auburn. Since the fall of Alejandro and Andrieu Anahera, Alondra has worked to distance herself from her blood–her now black hair one of many examples of this. Alondra does sport an iconic strip of silver hair at her bang.

Alondra is simpler in her fashion, a few steps behind the usual en vogue moods of her peers in nobility. Alondra can be found sporting simpler, darker colored dresses and frocks with accents of silver and white–never gold.

Life Story:

• Born to Theresa Anahera and Alesander Anahera. Alondra is the youngest child and only daughter, with her two elder brothers being Alejandro Anahera and Andrieu Anahera.
• Arranged to marry Lyman of House Croy, the new Count of Eaton, after an apparently impressionable meeting with Celine and Theresa during his tour of the archipelago.
• Alondra worked to raise her husband's children, particularly in the images favored by Celine and Theresa. She dispensed knowledge on the functions of politics, diplomacy, intrigue, and wizened knowledge of the concept of power, who pursues it, why, and how it can and should be wielded.
• Alondra never had children of her own with her husband. Lyman Croy eventually died, leaving Alondra a widow.
• During the Anahera Dictatorship, Alondra sequestered herself away from much of her Croy family–an attempt to emphasize the distance between herself and the House Croy to the newly disgraced House Anahera. She dyed her hair black, away from the iconic Anahera auburn, and lived in mild seclusion in her dower house of Eaton's countryside.
• With news of Byron's move to Regalia, Alondra found herself all too bored of her easy life as a widow and absconded to Regalia, where she now stays with her stepsons.
