__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Tall and thin, with smaller hips and chest, a flat face, pale, lilac colored eyes that are large and always appear soft and are easily read, a pointed nose and pointed chin.  She has blonde hair, as bright as the sun, that is thin and soft, only to her chin in length where it curls beautifully against her jawline, though the rest of her hair is relatively straight.  Dark lashes frame her eyes and her brows are dark too, so are the roots of her other wise pale blonde hair.  Though her eyes are large and expressive, she is normally seen as quite reserved. She also possesses thin lips and comes off appearing very fragile and fair, as her skin is white like porcelain and she is just as soft and delicate. 

Personality and Some History
She holds herself well and is very calm in appearance, and though can have a bit of a temper, she has adapted well to the life of a lady and represses a lot of emotions easily by slipping on a mask- but when her temper flares, it flares quickly and is hard to repress once she gets going. It takes a lot of effort for her to keep up her facade, and being with her husband is no exception. She just hasn't quite gotten used to the idea of being herself, so used to just being someone else that she appears almost doll-like and perfect, quiet even, soft spoken and most of the time.. she's just plain bored.  She dreams of a lot more, even envies her husband who lives most of his life outside of the castle going on adventures-
while she remains at home, secretly reading his adventure logs, decyphering some of the ancient text he has brought in and well... just generally doing things any other bored house wife might do who is unhappy-
Trying to figure out why her husband is never home and to figure out how many mistresses he has- which has made her gone a little crazy when he isn't home- but the servants keep that to themselves. Lady Acaulian is very close to her main servant, a Maid by the name of Anne, who is almost by her side constantly.  Anne knows Lady Acaulian better than anyone.. even her husband... and she tries to coax the Lady to be more like herself, but she always holds back-
ever fearful to break the fragile mask she had cleverly concocted after all of these years and is terrified her husband may hate the woman she truly is.

She wants to be selfish- but can not- coming off as some perfect woman loving to donate to charity, when really, even she wouldn't mind using some of that money to really spoil on herself.. but in the same breath- the image she has created is something she idolizes, so becoming her idol has turned her into someone else that is not herself and she feels so shallow and hollow all of the time.

She is also very depressed, and at one point has turned to drugs to escape her boredom. She had never taken a lover, almost had once, but could not. She, in fact, does love her husband, and is one of the reasons she is even more afraid to remove the masks.
Her husband has rarely seen her ever get angry, or really cry or express her true thoughts on matters. For Lady Acaulian is quite intelligent, too much infact that her mind goes rampant while locked away in the castle.
When she was young, her mother used to chastise her for sneaking off to the library, and to some of the relic rooms where she began to decipher old languages at a young age. Part of her still does this in her spare time- and she is so smart, she was able to read her parents entire library of books before she was 14. 

She has a lot of views on life, love and philosophy, about how the world works, and always carefully calculates out each word and action she does in her life- leaving her very weary by days end, but very much the reigning on the vision of perfection she so diligently seeks to protect.

Lady Acaulian is also very worried- her husband and she have been married several years now, and despite consummating their marriage; he has only bedded her on few occasions and she has yet to produce an heir.   Because he has been away for so long out on the field, she has been left to maintain the castle by herself, and has become quiet proficient at it; keeping a tidy and formidable ad beautiful home.  Art is one of her past times, so when she is not busy running the keep, she can be found painting in her own studio located on the southern tower of the castle that her husband made especially for her-
It was on that day she had realized she had loved him (after feeling so stale towards him- for yes he was handsome, but wearin g amask for so long, it was hard for her to capture her own emotions over their marriage). But when he discovered her love for art and gave that to her as a wedding present, her heart had truly been his.

Every painting she makes reflects on an internal struggle she deals with everyday, and soon her still lifes turned into something surreal, and becuase the images were so bizarre, she has hidden most of them from her husband, afraid he would hate her for making such 'ugly pieces'- and he wouldn't understand-

She even has done a few portraits of her husband while she was young and newly married when she dreamed of him when he'd go away-
now the fantasy of waiting for her husband has all but been forgotten, and she has turned hollow again...

It was here in the studio all of her love would remain, and she would ever truly show part of herself to her husband- and it was here they seemed to make more love than in their bed...
though she had only been pregnant twice, she lost both children and was so terrified of the blood on the second loss she has been frightened to death to try again- fearful she just wasn't able to keep a child and has actually found herself asking for her husband to abstain...
which is another reason she wonders if her husband now 'leaves' her not because of his love for adventure, but for a love for someone else.


She has a fondness for yellow flowers.


Magic/Abilities
Devaniée has unique illusionary magics in that she can manifest animations into inanimate objects. Alot of her power has been focused into making her paintings come to life.  She has also 'painted' illusions upon herself in practice, but this sort of magic she has not yet mastered.

The curse- in the recent thread Diamonds and Dragons, Lady Acaulian has become 'cursed', or, more specifically, has found herself unable to remove a cursed dragon amulet from her wrist, which seems to be feeding off all of the anger and unhappiness she keeps bottled up. The cursed bracelet seems to be reaching out for her, trying to change her... perhaps into a dragon, or something worse.

Relationships
Doryx Acaulian - husband

Anne- personal servant, maid and closest friend to Lady Acaulian

Vanera Roser'ren- her mother

Hollick Roser'ren- her father


More History
Originally from Jadenshine, she had met Lord Doryx on many occasions, and knew she had captured his attention- after all, she had purposely gone out of her way to flatter him, hoping to catch him as a prized husband. She had fallen in love with his stories of grand adventure, and his handsome face..
and the special kiss they had shared that one night at the Jadenshine royal ball...
and it was quickly announced soon afterwards they were to be married- and it was the happiest day in her life.

She had been practicing all of her life to become a woman so perfect, she had no idea how to do anything else, as her personality soon deflated and her obsession to remain this picture perfect image of a woman concealed all of her hate, jealousy, rage and even her pride. She appears selfless when she wants to be selfish, and even shies away from the true love she feels for her husband and is slowly disappearing within herself as depression and boredom consume her smart mind.

She can never shake her mother's image: 'You must be perfect. If a woman is not perfect, she is nothing. It does not matter if you are smart, but if you are smart enough to woo a man and become the lady on his arm, his wife.  Becoming a wife is all that a woman can aspire to be, and to be a good one, one that the entire world can be proud of. Now, get your shoes on and your nose out from those silly books, and let's proceed with our lessons on grace."
