__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description: She was never beautiful, and never cared. While she does pay attention to her appearance in order to present an imposing image and not bring shame to her family, she doesn't dress to impress or seduce, just to prove her wealth and position. Most of the time, she wears mage robes woven with protective runes and useful enchantments. Her skin is dark for a Serenian, enough to pass for an Adelan in the eyes of someone who's never seen an Adelan before. She doesn't use any makeup, and most jewels she wears usually have a hidden meaning, or an unknown function. An exception would be her spirit stone - fluorites are too soft to risk putting it in a ring, so she usually wears a necklace with a gem safely encased in it.

Personality: A woman of logic and pragmatism, she follows her common sense and practical applications closer than any religion or code of morality. Her intelligence was honed through detailed education by the best tutors money could buy, making her into a fearsome opponent, an irreplaceable ally and a boon to progress, all at once. While like most of her family, she was raised to revere magical power above its other forms, she is not blind to other avenues, as many scholars and inventors she founded would attest to.

One might expect from a noble of Serendipity, a descendant of highly capricious and whimsical fae, to share their aversion to order and duty. This one stereotype couldn't be further from the truth of Siana's character - her actions are guided by her sense of responsibility to her family, her province and her country - not always in the exact order. She takes it very seriously, and approaches it with a systemic method of management that seems brilliant to scholars and a headache to most courtiers. She has no silver tongue or particular grace in navigating the meanders of social interaction - others usually yield to her logic and presence rather than sweet words.

Magic/Abilities:
- Chronomancy: Progression. Siana's magic winds time forward, aging her target. It isn't an enchantment, but a natural process - just the catalyst forces it to complete faster. Because of it, it cannot be dispelled - although chronomancers and other forces capable of rewinding time and/or bestowing youth would be able to undo her work by applying their own.
- As a member of the prestigious Whitechalk family, she has an impressive knowledge of magic theory and science
- Knowledge of Serendipity and Atlas Verde's political landscape

History
Siana Whitechalk's life was shaped by the circumstances of her birth. Her family is one of the most powerful nobles in Atlas Verde, dwarfed only by the power of the Feyals. Before she even drew her first breath, her parents were already making plans for her life and future. She had a childhood anyone would envy, a life full of luxury - and it was just beginning.

The affinity of her powers, although limited, was enough to turn heads of some, and have her family agree that it is indeed an ability worthy of someone bearing the Whitechalk name. Having displayed an interest in magic already as a child, she learned from the best tutors, frequently hired from all over Le'raana.

Most noble children are sent to Wyrdwood to hone their magical abilities, but the Whitechalks saw no point to having their offspring mingle with those less gifted and potentially risk the quality of their education. Instead, they hired personal tutors perfectly tailored to every child's abilities and talent. Siana excelled at studying and adapted an extremely quick pace that had her cover a year's material in only months.

While the focus of her education, as always, was on magic, she also learned enough of history, politics and all other related matters. Her love for scholarship remained undaunted as she grew up, soon matched by fierce dedication to her family and a developed sense of responsibility. She was willing to give back to the Whitechalks and prove worthy of all the time and effort invested into her. She married a man her parents carefully selected for both political advancement and the magic in his bloodline, and produced expected heirs.

<describe the rest of the kids here once they're made>

One of her children in particular proved a disappointment, a black mark on otherwise unmarred excellence. Sarah Whitechalk's ability seemed promising at first, but soon its limitations outweighed any possible potential. Siana shed no tears when casting her waste of a daughter out - the girl was not worthy of the Whitechalk name, and there was no point wasting further time and resources on her.

She threw herself into work and research. While the political aspect of her position still takes a lot of time, she still puts a lot of effort into maintaining her magical power and expanding her knowledge. She is also known for spending some of her substantial funds on financing promising enterprises.

Character Limitations: I think she's the most limited one I'll ever have. Please limit yourself to only your character's actions and do not describe an effect on her. If you want her to do something, just poke me via pm and we can discuss it.
