Lisette Henriette Ashford de Aryn (Born 1571), commonly known as Lisette of Virdain, is the current Queen-Consort of the Kingdom of Courland, as the wife of Tobias Staunton.
Her father, Lystor Ashford de Aryn, was the second son of Thomas de Aryn, who held the Barony of Virdain within Drusco, a duchy under the Holy Orenian Empire during it's days in Vailor. Born after the destruction of Vailor and their arrival in Axios, Lisette was brought into a family of noble refugees, whom made up the duchy of Savoy. As leal kinsmen and vassals to the House of Ashford de Savoie, the children of House Ashford de Aryn were raised alongside the ducal children and given an education that far outranked their status.
After many years of constant study, Lisette's father sent her to a nunnery to be educated in the ways of the Church. However, rumors spread that Lystor had actually sent his daughter into a sort of exile, for refusing to take part in his plans for her to seduce the current emperor, Philip I. It is known that Lisette often told her cousins, after the fact, of how the nuns beat her until she recited prayers properly, and starved her for days when she spoke out against their harsh teachings. The final straw was when the nuns sent a fellow sister, dressed in noblewomen's silks and claiming to be Lisette, to the capital of Johannesburg in order to preach the Canonist Faith to the children of House Ashford de Savoie. This little scheme was soon found out, and the real Lisette was called back from the nunnery by her father & great-uncle, the now-Baron Bastian de Aryn of Gant.
