personality 3 Base Traits: Bossy, Confident, Reckless
Ygraine is the apple of her fathers' eyes, and is the most perfect kid ever! Or, at least, that is what she would have you believe. Children who grew up without love often end up smothering their own children with affection, and so is the case with this youngster- while others might resent the constant attention, Ygraine flourishes in it!
Raised with a good work ethic, Ygraine enjoys throwing herself wholeheartedly into any assigned chore or task with overwhelming confidence. Though not necessarily spoiled, Ygraine's fathers show no shortage of pride in regards to anything she does. Perhaps... too much. Ygraine resents being told that she is wrong or has done something incorrectly, and bristles at any form of criticism unless made in a flattering manner. But, thanks to the influence of her grandmothers, she has learned to hold her tongue when it comes to this displeasure, to a point.
Despite being the younger of the two, Ygraine constantly babies her older brother Sol. It's not that she wants to be 'mean' to him, or to nag him, but she's always there to tell him if (or, in most cases, when) he's doing something incorrectly, and is happy to show him the proper way to do it - even if he doesn't always deign to listen to her words of wisdom. However, after the 2-year disappearance of her parents, Ygraine became more and more protective of her brother, and has softened her previous harshness towards him.
As a hybrid child raised by hybrid parents, Ygraine has been told how she and her brother are different from most children, and that they may face 'bullies' in the future. But, as a child who doesn't truly understand the implications of this, sheltered as she is by her family in Zena, Ygraine holds her head up high and takes pride in her unique appearance, not realizing how severely such differences are treated in other parts of the world. With her fathers and brother beside her, the stares they sometimes get don't bother her as they do her parents. She's safe, after all, and any stares are just people jealous her great family!
Such thoughts, plus her own recklessness often place her in precarious positions. To Ygraine, it's perfectly justifiable to leave the house unsupervised to gather crystals, especially if Morrigan her papa's Raptrix is watching her. And those stories of monsters in the woods eating children are just for babies! Right? Right! Ygraine knows best!

Childhood Ygraine was born alongside her twin brother, Sol, on a spring morning in Jauhar, surrounded by love and family. Her parents, Callum and Nimueh, lavished her and her brother with love and affection from the moment they were born, and as a child Ygraine wanted for nothing. She grew up in a small cabin in Zena, a hop skip and a jump away from her grandmothers' home, protected from a great deal of the discrimination that others with her mixed blood would face in a more heavily traveled area.
Teasing and some bullying happened now and again, and was enough to reduce her to tears, and yet her fathers knew that compared to what sort of harassment could have happened to her, she was relatively shielded from disdain, and well protected thanks to her grandmothers' clout as well-known merchants in the area.
Life was sweet. She traveled occasionally with Callum, and when in Zena she learned how to make accessories from Nimueh, and even went hunting from time to time! She loved her grandmothers, and while intimidated by her aunt (Nimueh's adopted sister, Misuru), she was awed and inspired by her nonetheless.
Raised as a spoiled little princess, Ygraine adored her parents, but often bickered with and teased her brother. He was a whiny baby, in her opinion; a brat who always ruined the fun. And yet deep down, she knew this wasn't the case; the pair spent most of their time together, as much as they argued, and actually enjoyed eachothers' company a majority of the time. It wasn't until they were five, and visited Oba with their parents during a festival, that Ygraine was made to force aside her ego for the sake of her family.
Lured away from their father the day before they were to head home, Sol and Ygraine found themselves captured by a pair of intimidating Oban nobles- and in rescuing them, their father Callum was taken prisoner. They were released, on the condition that he stayed in their stead; and hours later when they finally found their baba, Nimueh, they were too scared to tell him what had happened.
Weeks passed in Oba before, finally, they headed home... unable to find Callum. Back in Zena, Nimueh quickly became depressed, and as time wore on the twins realized that they had to say something. They finally revealed to him what had happened, and he left them in the care of their grandmothers. Two years passed, after their papa's disappearance; and as they grew the twins grew closer and closer, Ygraine becoming more and more protective of her brother.
She also threw herself into learning archery; both to defend herself, and to hunt, something that made her feel closer to her missing fathers.
Finally, after two years, they were summoned to Jauhar, and reunited with their parents. Life after this was... strained, but after some time they finally reconciled the two missing years, as best they could. While still spoiled, Ygraine's bossy, overbearing personality is softening, just the tiniest bit, after realizing her own fallibility.

NPCs Izuzue and Xansa: Ygraine's mentors as merchants. Izuzue is a successful Alkidike merchant and hunter, while Xansa is a businesswoman and fellow merchant. Corine: Ygraine's great-grandmother, Callum's grandmother. Corine is a caring, sweet older woman who Ygraine doesn't see nearly enough. She thinks she's old and sometimes strict, but... nice. Eema: Ygraine's biological mother. Ygraine enjoyed her presence as a youngling, but after Nimueh's death she felt guilty to think of her as anything but a family friend.
parents Nimueh:Father Ygraine's "Baba", while he's more protective and paranoid compared to Callum, he also caves easily to any punishments he gives, and Ygraine has him wrapped around her little finger. She appreciates him though, and has learned quite a bit about hunting, familiars, and accessories from him. Callum:Father Ygraine's "Papa". She adores him, and is a true daddy's girl. She nags and clings to him at every opportunity, even though he sees through her in ways her baba doesn't. He's witty, just like her, and she respects him for it.
family Sol:Twin Brother Her twin brother! Ygraine often teased him in the past, but in recent years she's become protective of him, and does whatever she can to make him smile. Occasionally she still teases him, but they've evolved to a healthy respect for one another.
