Absynthe, a violet-eyed, ebon-haired young woman of nobility who had her life all arranged until her sire's gambling created a need for her to discharge his debts to maintain honour. On the one hand, she has the finest court manners and can navigate court politics with the ease of a hot knife through butter. On the other hand, she has fought demons that--on an annual basis--threaten to overwhelm the  palatinate her family has held and built for untold generations before her. 

Accompanied on a voyage to this new land by her lifelong friend Doré and two battle steeds, she thought she was prepared for the worst. Sadly, that was not the case. Almost immediately separated from her hazel-eyed, golden-haired lady-in-waiting Doré upon arrival to these shores, she is relying on every skill she possesses to keep her person intact.

And whenever her incompetent husband-to-be arrives (What sort of man loses his royal debt-bride at the docks?), she plans to have matters in hand. Whilst she may not be the Original Syn, she could be the most devastating Syn.
