== Biography ==
 
===Early Life===
 
'''Lady Maisie Adelheid''' was born with her twin brother [[Caspian d'Arkent]] within the Duchy of Selm upon the 13th of The Snow Maiden, 1794 to Lord Alexander-Lucian d'Arkent and Lady Victoria Adelheid d'Arkent. She was the triennial born, and second born daughter to the pair. At that moment, the Duchy was under [[Peter Baldwin d’Arkent, 2nd Duke of Sunholdt|Peter Baldwin d'Arkent]], the 2nd Duke of Sunholdt. Many would note how constantly sick she was, most convinced she would not make it through the evacuation to [[Almaris]]. However, some sort of miracle occurred and she would soon recuperate. Her formal education would begin soon after under various Imperial tutors and nannies. Known for her large dictionary of manners and etiquette knowledge that she had memorized.
 
 
 
Subsequently, after the disappearance of both her parents, the miss was sent to the Augustine court for the remainder of her childhood. There she learned more about court manners under Lady [[Anna Henrietta of Provins|Anna Henrietta Pruvia-Provins]] and participated in planning and hosting a few balls.

In 1807, Maisie was issued to [[Haense]] to start a wardship under [[Isabel of Valwyck|Queen-Consort of Hanseti-Ruska Isabel]]. There she continued her education, befriending [[Mariya of Aurveldt|Mariya Antoniya]] and Mariya Sofia. She also took a mentorship under the famous Seamster, Wilhelm O.R. She was most known for her four-time win streak in Hanseti Chess, the longest in history. During one of these games, she met her first betrothed, Cadieux d'Airelle.
 
 
 
The couple seemed to get on well, seen together quite a lot. Almost as soon as the duo became a formal match, having had their marriage accepted by both families, Maisie was called back to [[Providence]]. Her older brother and sister had returned from boarding school and wished to have all family members back home. So she bid her adieus, ending her formal wardship with [[Isabel of Valwyck|Queen Isabel]].
 
 
 
When she returned to the Duchy of Sunholdt, she was quickly pushed into Augustine court life, serving her empire.
 
 
 
== Poetry ==
 
Maisie d'Arkent published many poems throughout her life, being an accomplished author. Her first collection was released in 1818, called '''Lingering Petals'''. It was dedicated to her lost loves, Cadieux and Conrad. The most famous piece from this collection is called ''Grief''.
 
 
 
 
 
<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The way I grieve for you is not loud.
 
 
 
It is not a cry in the dark,
 
 
 
a wail to those who love me,
 
 
 
a breakdown made of tears and apologies
 
 
 
and ‘why is this happening to me’s.
 
 
 
 
 
Instead, my grief is a silent killer.
 
 
 
It suffocates me in the night.
 
 
 
I feel it poison my lungs
 
 
 
every time I draw in breath.
 
 
 
 
 
I feel it wrap its cold dark hands
 
 
 
around my barely beating heart,
 
 
 
squeeze until it needs to gasp to restart
 
 
 
and yet it does not speak.
 
 
 
 
 
My grief is silent,
 
 
 
so others think it doesn’t exist.
 
 
 
They look at the unbreakable mask I wear
 
 
 
on my face without realizing my insides scream.
 
 
 
 
 
They wonder if I ever loved you
 
 
 
the way you needed.
 
 
 
sometimes they think I am
 
 
 
a heartless thing that never loved you at all.
 
 
 
 
 
They think I never deserved you
 
 
 
and refuse to understand the truth of the way I grieve.</div>
 
 
 
Maisie would later publish another collection in 1820 named '''Lovelorn'''. The poems were dedicated to her three nieces, Alexandra Helene, Amara Elise, and Elaine Victoria. The most notable poem from this collection was for her dead niece Amara, titled ''Dear Amara''.
 
 
 
 
 
<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Oh, listen, my Dear,
 
to the fairy voices calling.
 
 
 
For the moon is high in the misty sky
 
 
 
and the honeydew is falling.
 
 
 
To the midnight feast in the cover night,
 
 
 
The bluebells are a-ringing,
 
 
 
And to the beavers singing
 
 
 
“Come away to the land of white.”
 
 
 
 
 
Oh, slumber, my Dear,
 
 
 
and hand in hand we’ll wander.
 
 
 
Hand in hand to the beautiful land
 
 
 
above, way off yonder.
 
 
 
Or we’ll sail along in a lily leaf
 
 
 
into the white moon’s halo,
 
 
 
over a stream of mist and dream,
