Liridona Ingrid Amador was the Matriarch of the House of Amador during Aevos, serving as Regent for Henrik III Amador, after a Royal decision to replace her Cousin Albus Amador. The Younger Twin-Sister of Nataliya & daughter of Olessya Amador, she is best known for her efforts with her Sister, Nataliya and other Almaris kin, for resurrecting the Noble Status the House of Amador within the Dual Koengzem of Hanseti-Ruska.

Background

Liridona's childhood was defined by her relationship with her Mother & Sister, Olessya & Nataliya.

Born in 1903, Liridona was born to Olessya Amador and Edvard Sigismund, at Sedan. Not much is known of the earliest histories of Liridona, but it is believed that she was brought to Karlsburg by her mother when the House of Amador relocated back to the Dual Koengzem of Hanseti-Ruska. As the second born child of the Amador family's mainline, Liridona was given more freedom than her elder twin to enjoy a childhood. She was known to be a gregarious girl, who enjoyed time with her friends. However, she also developed a nervous and anxious personality from the overbearing nature of her mother; it would carry through to her grave. Her cousin Albus, a known eccentric, exacerbated this trait.

During her childhood, Olessya Amador put out a missive for all members of the extended Amador family gather in Karlsburg, leading Liridona to become acquainted with her cousins, uncles and aunts. When this occurred, a number of Family Heirlooms were gathered and returned to the Matriarch Olessya. Nataliya, on the cusp of her ascension as Baroness, is believed to have bequeathed the title Gem of Amador upon her younger twin. To mark this elevated title within the family, Nataliya placed about Liridona's head the tiara of Princess Artemis Palaiologos, Wife of Count Henrik I Amador and considered the most beautiful woman in Amador History. The event was so poignant that Liridona would develop a love for historically significant jewelry.

In 1921, the Twins enjoyed a coming-of-age celebration, which was attended by a portion of the Haense Aristocracy. During this celebration, the twins were given a choice of activity for people to partake in; Liridona's chosen activity was to find the most beautiful flower in the Lallybroch, befitting her love of beauty and nature.

Adulthood

In 1943, the befittingly named Gem of Amador Liridona (along with some members of her family) published a catalogue of the Household's most precious items known as The Jewels of House Amador' The Catalogue included a variety of items of historical importance, including but not limited to the Rosary of Clement III, a number of wedding and engagement bands & Kokoshniks. It was well received and has become a useful historical resource for future historians.

Liridona was an active personality within the Court of King Aleksandr II of Haense, serving as the Palace Custodian & Koenas Amaya's Chamberlain, responsible for overseing the masters/mistresses (Known as the Hauchkhazya) of each office (Known as the Khazya).. She also helped the Koenas with event hosting and management, meaning Liridona's actions can therefore be seen as a contributing factor to why the Royal Couple became some of the most beloved in Haenseni History, culminating in Koenas' Amaya's Canonization as a Saint of the Church.

From 1933 to 1951, she attended various festivals with the Master of the Wardrobe & her step-father, Magnus Amador. The pair worked on developing New Marian & Haenseni fashion, selling clothes at auctions and holding events to display new dresses and jewelry.

In 1956, Liridona was kidnapped by Bo Rastova, her Kinsmen and held to ransom following a familial disagreement concerning the leadership of the Household under Henrik III Amador. The Incident was part of the wider conflict known as the Aevos Coalition War, in which Bo & Henrik III found themselves on opposing sides. A Ballad was composed in honour of Liridona by Radmir Montalt, lamenting the conditions the Gem of Amador found herself. However, the ballad does not reflect historical record, as it is believed Liridona skillfully negotiated her own release from behind House Arrest by renouncing a missive denouncing Bo.

On the 15th day of the Sun's Smile, 1967, Liridona Ingrid Amador lost consciousness within her quarters at Queen's Crossing within the Barony of Mondstadt. She was founded slumped upon against her table, deceased. It is believed by medical report that she died of a Heart Attack whilst writing letters to her family, friends and children. Subsequent letters to her family revealed that she was afraid of being perceived as a failure, as some of the strong-willed members of the family voiced she may become, however she has gone down in Amador History as a strong pair of hands as regent & a maternal matriarch to her Household.
