Anethra Uradir
|
|
Anethra Uradir is an elf of storied history and controversy, known as an influential leader and councilmember of The Diarchy of Haelun'or, the de-facto leader and savior of The Uradir Talonii, and a subject of intense scrutiny and conspiracy.
With a murky history and an intense desire to upkeep a very strict and specific public personality and image, much of who Anethra actually is, and has been, is muddled and enshrouded in shadow and mystery. Such, on multiple occasions, had nearly lead to her death and exile.
History
Early Life
Anethra was raised to a Gwynaeth and Moederai Uradir in Vailor, cousins to the infamous Kalenz. First of their line, and first of the fourth Uradir generation, Anethra had grand expectations. While always made second to her cousins, Anethra had been raised a child of cattle. For marriage and prestige, Anethra was to bind Uradir to another family- at the time, Elibar'acal, which had spawned a very young hatred for the opposing bloodline. Upon the venture to Axios, both Gwyneth and Moederai had vanished; while uninterested in any of her siblings who had been long lost, the elf simply lived stuck within books. She often spent her younger years writing poetry and novels while the elf spiraled into a gloom in which would become iconic to her character. Largely, Anethra was uninvolved and disappeared for the majority of Atlas' events, simply moving along with the majority of Haelun'or. During Haelun'or's Revival toward the end of the time spent upon the continent, the elf was a quiet, yet early supporter of the new Sohaer Dimaethor Visaj.
Before Laurirship
Anethra before her Laurirship was the only other confirmed-surviving Uradir beside her cousin Silir and her once-removed cousin Renarion. After an attempted coup by Renarion which had resulted in his death, Silir had called for any surviving Uradir to aide in rebuilding a broken and unbuilt family. The two of them sparingly agreed on anything but politic- and often clashed because of so. Anethra often found herself enthralled within the dregs of society, the elf often could be seen with those suspicious and undesirable; often suspected of impurity. In that time, the elf continued to write her poetry and novels, of which she found great success to The Eternal Library which many of her works still are hosted today. Anethra was the target of attempted paladin-based disconnection thrice, of which none bore any effect. Such was of great disrespect to her, and began a distrust and distaste for holy-magics and those who had practiced them. Something which would effect some of her policymaking later in life. Despite the controversy and suspicion, Anethra was eventually deemed simply an elf wracked with anxiety and depression, of which she sought treatment for. The Okarir'maehr, Nelgauth Maehr'tehral, and her favoured medicus Dele Seregon, aided in her treatment by prescription of Javen's Root and other botanicals which would increase her appetite and encourage sleep. After a brief stint of abusing such medication, Anethra would reluctantly find herself in a much more healthy lifestyle. Despite this, she never escaped a lithe and skinny form of unhealthy figure.

Personality
Anethra is regarded as an extremely secluded and withdrawn individual obsessed with upkeep of public image and familial respect. One who commands and leads from shadows, Anethra was by far the most unsuccessful in inspiring and swaying people, particularly those at large; most often in her element in backrooms and private meets. With this, despite public image and appearance, the elf was very much known to have a general distaste for any and all interacting with her and was somewhat of a shut-in wherever she could be. The elf is known for having a characteristically lithe and gaunt figure, and speaking in a dull tone which indicated little enthusiasm. There was always an odd perfectionism to her face, one which she very much made known by accentuating unnaturally symmetry and consistent colour throughout her face, eyes, and hair. The elf was known to prize purity, yet in a fashion much different from the standard republican Mali'thill. Anethra regarded highelves as superior to all, commonly so, yet cursed with an inherent urge to betray which compelled them to drag one another down. This was most often displayed, or rather undisplayed, in her dealings as an extremely influential Okarir of Haelun'or, yet remaining near-always silent during council meets and trials. On and off, the elf was characteristically depressive and anxious, known for an extreme paranoia which had her stricken and nearly deemed mentally unfit for leading at times. On and off would the elf enter extremely high periods of thriving confidence and pride, and very long and low periods of helplessness and nihilism. Despite all, she is known to have an intense love and compassion for not only Haelun'or, but her family and friends; the few that she keeps.
Relationships
Partners & Children
Kinahen Athrilum: One of Anethra's many potential-suitors, however, the only one which had seemed to genuinely capture her interest. Their time was shortlived as The Silver Revolution had caused Kinahen to flee The Silver State with a mutual friend Evelon Telperion and Alaion Miravaris. Though much of the two's interactions were hidden from public eye, it seemed to forever sober Lady Uradir and emboldened her already strong isolationism.
Uradir Bloodline
Ithia Uradir: Nuala's youngest daughter deemed Anethra's own by adoption, Ithia was Anethra's version of an elf free and wild. Anethra would come in and out of Ithia's life with the goal of checking up upon her and keeping her at arms distance, at any point offering assistance and help wherever necessary.
Celiasil Uradir: A cousin to Anethra regarded as brother, Celiasil is one of the few Uradirs who remain in Anethra's good regard. The only one to survive her scrutiny, Anethra saw immense potential in the young Celiasil and was often most enthralled in his talents and abilities and supported him in his endeavours. Even with his departure from Haelun'or, and deemed-impurity by marrying a wood elf Miven Careme'onn, Anethra had particularly spoiled Celiasil's children with her and made splendid friends with his wife Miven, whom still maintains good relations with him today even after Celiasil's supposed death.
Muriel Uradir: A cousin to Anethra regarded as brother, Muriel was one who frequently frustrated The Lady Uradir by his decisionmaking. Not by fault of his own, Anethra had sought to live vicariously through the younger elf- which had caused a minor divide, even if the two had always stayed closely together. Even when Muriel had diverged and succeeded Anethra in Haelun'or's Leadership, she still supported and held respect for him, as he did, her.
Silvyr Uradir: A cousin of Anethra, regarded as brother, who aswell lost her respect later in life. Early and throughout her Laurirship, Silvyr supported her and the family by boosting the image of himself and Uradir. However, after some time, his ego became apparent and he somewhat became a threat to Anethra; one who would wish to undermine her which brought her intense worry, particularly upon her successor of which her ideal choice was unwilling to take so. With a heavy heart and a surrender of pride, she abdicated Laurirship to Silvyr in her writing A Change of Seasons. Soonafter did the family languish and fall to disrepair, and eventually become as lifeless as Anethra had one found it. Something which has forever enbittered her, and caused her to have a deep remorse and resentment for undying trust and love to her family.
Talar'siol Uradir: The late Talar'siol Uradir was an elf which often frustrated Anethra, as one who was respected for his insatiable sense of honor and duty; yet a complete lack of self preservation and logical thought. Talar'siol tantalized Anethra as a potential Heir to the family, yet disappointed her in his craving of death, which he had soon met not long after he came after to prominence. She supported him in any case, unwilling to ever let one to have a poor last impression of her.
Nuala'ata (nee Uradir): A woman who had initially for some time had Anethra's respect, but after some time had tarnished so with a controversial reputation and a repeated assurance of mental instability; something which brought much anxiety to the already riddled Anethra. After some time she was expelled from the family forcibly, her name stripped from her by Anethra and the subsequent Laurir.
Friends & Allies
Earnest: A subtle acquaintance of The Uradir, Earnest had earned Anethra's friendship and good will after twice providing small tokens of appreciation; once glasses, once a memento in honor of loss, to The Uradir.
Peter Baldwin d'Arkent: A friend within the ISA, as General, who had thrown a celebratory ball at Sunholdt where she had met most of The Imperial Family and their descendants. Peter often came to Anethra regarding issues both mundane and magical, which had brought them both immense wealth and power.
Dele Seregon: A longtime confidant of Anethra, Dele served as Anethra's pharmacist and close friend. She often served to embolden and rationalize the troubled Uradir's thoughts, encouraging her when she needed and advising her when she had run a bit too far. A solid ally, Uradir and Seregon would forever have a mutual friendship with one another with the two Laurir's good friendship.
Ikur Sullas: For some time a rival to Anethra and an antagonist after The Silver Revolution, yet with repeated attempt at good relations did Ikur break Anethra's spirit into understanding. Eventually, a mutual appreciation and respect for what one another do and the purpose they serve. Ikur often sought Anethra for issues which were beyond or below his capacity to solve, allowing her to do so; rumoured, Sulii'ceru as Anethra played a very quiet role, yet seemingly was always in Ikur's court and by his side- despite being his Maelunir. A phenomenon often occuring known as "An Ikur Moment" would happen in which he would mysteriously appear within Anethra's basement, to neither of their understanding.
