Kroashent: Anjela du Berry

"You must be under the impression that you've got the upper hand against a delicate princess.  Perhaps I can dissuade you from this illusion with a proper introduction to my blade.  My family didn't rise to the Nuestrian throne by being weaklings..."

- Lady Anjela Gwerelaouen du Berry, l'Etoile d'Or.

-----------------

The only child of the wealthy House of Berry, Anjela is a cousin, once removed, of the King of Neustria, Philippe VI.  When the Duchy of Letha approached a civil war, Anjela, a skilled diplomat, alchemist and courtier, was dispatched to ensure that House Blackwater joined the faction backed by "Cousin Phillipe."  Things did not go as planned and instead of convincing the Blackwater's to join with Neustria, Anjela joined with them, becoming the self-proclaimed leader of the "Dragons of Dreger", an elite unit serving the Kont of Dreger and the Monforz faction. 

She is highly educated by the best tutors in Neustria, skilled in dancing, rhetoric and diplomacy. She has a special talent for alchemy, leading her to experiment with potions, materials and, to the horror of her friends, food, where her impressive alchemical skills break down entirely. Anjela spends a lot of time in the kitchens of Kastell-Tonquedec as a result, much to the chagrin of the cookstaff.  Anjela has a serious sweet-tooth, enjoying deserts of all kinds from all across Kornôgel, impressing her companions with lavish purchases of small snacks shipped from as far off as Lupino and Pharos. She is especially fond of Far, a flan-like desert made in Dreger. (Her friends joke that she joined with House Blackwater less over ideals and more over desert)

Anjela is a member of the highest tier of Neustrian nobility, bordering on royalty, but has little patience with the "wasteful" pursuits of noble fancy, refusing duels or other challenges to her "honor", instead placing confidence and superiority behind her every action. Her adept maneuvering and well know policy has allowed her to escape scandals that might otherwise threaten her influence, giving her a reputation of being above the petty squabbles of the Court.   Anjela respects loyalty, taking great risks for her friends and expecting the same in return, making her an effective leader, but also placing her in the centre of dangerous situations one in her position would normally avoid. She believes that all deserve a level of respect, regardless of their station. While not a systemic champion of the poor, she is usually well-regarded on an individual level for her frankness and kindness.
