Infamous for being the only red-haired Iseterre in a family known for their snow-white mane she's been the centre of many rumours growing up, rumours that paired with her social position—above a knight, below a noble—have all contributed to the formation of a most gallant yet fierce disposition.Alsene is smart, knows when to be loud, and with the determination to rival a Knight Dragoon's she fights nail and tooth to maintain and gain what freedoms society sees fit to afford her.

Story

CW underage promiscuity, drinking and smoking,
implied homophobia, physical abuse,
mentions of sexual abuse

Born in Ishgard of a certain Arsimont de Beltardois and Finia de Lanverlais some twenty-something years ago, Omant soon went from being a child prodigy and pride of the House to a reckless, frivolous lordling sometime in his teens, the scandals he found himself involved in growing with him: from skipping classes to drink and smoke with the upperclassmen to, growing up, his many male lovers, there hardly was a sennight in which he did not wear the signs of Lord Arsimont's ire...And then, at twenty and three summers, he committed the gravest sin of all, a sin against the family: tired of his family's complicity in his cousin's crimes for the sake of "reputation", he took the abused maid's side and accompanying her to the Tribunal, with his name as backing, helped her denounce Valentinoix's sexual misconduct.It went nowhere. For a while, rumours ran rampant. For a time, it looked like something could change. But by the end of the season, the attention had fully shifted, and that awful reputation he'd created for himself in an attempt to avoid following in his father's footsteps was used against him. A willing scapegoat, under a fashion. Better to paint him the villain, than his cousin's victim.And so, he was sent to the Sea of Clouds to work under Laniaitte de Haillenarte until the heat died down, and now three years later and engaged to his closest of friends, he finally was allowed back home, on the condition of being on his best behaviour, bending, but unbroken.

Story

Born in a family of baronets, Alsene was afforded in her childhood comforts above her station, thanks to her lady mother's friendship with Lady Finia de Beltardois, and it took until her teens for her to realize that the scorn received was not due to her deep red mane alone.Tutored in the Seven Liberal Arts by the Beltardois' very own tutor, and in the art of the spear at home, she did not have much of a social life except that found in her own siblings (of which she counts Omant as one) and in the activities organized by the Church to foster their teachings, and it isn't until she joined the Rose Knights that she had a chance to blossom and learn much of herself and the world around her. Now, Ten years later, she's returned Ishgard, seeking the chance to join the Temple Knights and, possibly, be selected for the Order of the Knight Dragoons

Story

Born in a family of baronets, Florentel was their pride and joy. It mattered not that his condition made it harder for him to live a life on par with his peers—his loyalty, evident since childhood, and earnest efforts made everyone in the household believe in and see the glory he could bring them.Eventually, though, his loyalty was to be his downfall.
Believing to the bitter end in the innocence of his friend and liege, he fought and won for him a trial by combat. Believing to the bitter end, he fought his own men to grant his lord the chance to escape. Believing to the bitter end, he was stripped of his title and position, destined to prove himself and build his position anew.Now a knight valued for his skills if still tormented by his mistakes, lives and fights to atone, to forgive himself when most of everyone already forgave him.

Story

Born Aubrenard, Jeanne's life growing up has been as privileged as it's been unremarkable for her class: grown to be the ideal daughter, she's always dedicated herself to the pursuit of knowledge and feminine arts such as embroidery and drawing whilst not eschewing more exerting pursuits nor an appropriate amount of social life and time spent in church.Solar and sociable yet poised, she is the perfect representative of the Aubrenards daughters, her only flaw being the "old age" of her first marriage to her late husband, Armantel de Rontremont, perished following the insidious injuries sustained in the Ghymlit Dark; having waited for a suitor that never asked her hand in time.
