A Lady's Journal

 

Young Laelys de Guieneve is delicate young women of a traditional aristocratic Merilien family. She was raised to be the perfect lady, educated, proper, knowing her position. Incentivated to pursuit only endeavours that are proper for a lady of her station, like fashion, poetry, dressing, a good speech, etiquette, and such lady-like activities that are "obviously" the only ones acceptable for a girl. Daughters of farmers and lowly craftsmen can work, cook and get their hands, clothes and hair dirty. They're inferior after all there is no loss as they have no grace, beauty or sofistication, but a true noble-born lady specially of magical blood cannot!

Considered excellent for Avila since a very young age her father recently decided to send her to Hedi instead, believing her overall lack of luck and contrary astral omens would make her a weak student in that College. Glamour on the other hand would come much easier to her. And a lady must speak and write well to help her husband when she marries. And so she was sent with a mix of emotions, excited, fearful, confused and with a education and mindset that as she may soon discover has it's bright and worse sides...
