Entourage

While these characters aren't completely PC material, if someone has ideas to flesh them out and make them work as characters separate from their connection to Nyavah please contact her to work things out.

• Nurse turned companion - Utterly devoted, could easily be turned towards doing things behind the scenes.
• Personal guard - Again, could be anything, but probably wrapped around Nyavah's little finger.

History

Nyavah was the long-awaited daughter for the Lord and Lady of Keogh, one of the largest minor holds in the High Reaches area. She was born nearly six turns after the youngest of her four brothers; it's no wonder, then, that she was cosseted and adored from the moment of her birth, never lacking for anything. Not, of course, that anyone in her family ever lacked for anything: theirs may have been a minor hold, but it was a prosperous one, and their lifestyle, as a result, was an indulgent one, reigned by affluence. In the middle of it all, was Nyavah, nothing short of a princess to her brothers and parents, forgiven everything, given anything. Over time, she learned how to school her childish tantrums into more dignified pouts, until there were very few people around her who could not be wrapped about her little finger.

In youth, she surrounded herself with a circle of relatively high born friends, always ensuring that she was in the middle of everything: adored, admired, beloved. She was a relatively benevolent leader, as such things go; after all, she had everything already - she might as well give them something, too. Of course she - and therefore, they - could never forget that she was a lady, and they were not: Nyavah was the queen bee, and any glory they had was any a reflection of hers.

She was fostered to Greenfields Hold at the age of fourteen, and spent two very unhappy turns there: though Greenfields was no bigger than Keogh, they had a number of daughters, and nothing she had impressed any of them. Moreover, the heir to Greenfields she found distinctly disagreeable, particularly when he implied that he was probably the best she could catch - and that that's what everyone expected. She swore then that she would never marry him, and that she'd make a match so good everyone would laugh at the very idea that she might have married him. When she returned home, that had become her sole goal in life: a good marriage. Something perfect.

Obviously, with so many brothers, she was never going to inherit Keogh, and honestly, although she quite liked the idea of being Lady Holder in her own right, she was also not entirely sure of the workload involved; having never really done an honest day's work in her life, it seemed distinctly less than appealing. So, marriage it was, then, and not to some backwater Hold, oh no. She set her sights high. Keogh might only be a minor hold, but she? She was worth far more than that. She spent two turns dismissing every offer made for her; her father loved her far too much to force her into anything, but even he was getting concerned as she refused one potential husband after another. But she would have none of it, not when she felt herself deserving of so much more. No, as she pushed past her eighteenth turnday and towards her nineteenth, her attention had been caught by Nabol. Keogh was beholden to Nabol, so she had visited the Hold once or twice, even knew some of the young people from there, but, more to the point, Nabol's lord was aging, and he had no determined heir... It was perfect.

True, the family bastard, no matter how accepted, was not the kind of husband anyone else would have seen her accepting, but getting closer than that, when she wasn't of a major Hold? It was proving difficult. Anyway, the whole thing had prospects, and if anyone could make it work? She could. And no one would ever see them coming. Thus, even her own family were still reeling in surprise when the engagement was announced (her father initially had concerns; she convinced him he was wrong) - and still, even, when she departed Keogh for Nabol, where she would spend the next turn or so, before the wedding. And so, Nyavah arrived at Nabol, with high hopes.
