Talora Adarys

Talora Adarys is proclaimed the first legitimate child and heir of Orien Adarys. She succeeded his legacy in 416 A.C. after his death, and seeks to expound upon House Adarys' exploits in slavery and trafficking.

Following his footsteps in multiple aspects, Talora has recently assumed a Tyrosh Magisterial seat to some conflicted public opinion.

Appearance & Personality
Domineering and brash, Talora is a Tyroshi merchant through the slave trade that leaves her body thick with muscle and an even thicker wallet. Broad shoulders are balanced by wide, curvy hips that are often display in a myriad of cloth and leather desert wear. Skin is bronzed by the sun, complimenting the gradient of her blonde to brown hair. Whether pinned up or slicked back neatly, locks are routinely dyed to mimic the fickle nature of her moods. The newly appointed Magister carries an unabashed pride, pierced throughout and painted vainly across her fierce brown stare. Through wicked grins and entitled merrymaking she acts a supplementary role to the one told via whip.

A tethered tale.
Talora Adarys is not the first born of her father, but rather the first claimed as legitimate. As a traveling hedonist that reveled in his carefree lifestyle, it was uncertain -- and unimportant to him --  how many bastards were sired in his volatile youth. Once the mantle of heir fell upon him unexpectedly with the death of his brother, Orien Adarys picked the most readily accessible women to breed. It is certain the children are all of distinctly different mothers, Talora's rumored to be that of a Dothraki.

To say her father was a terrible man might be an understatement - her personal mother simply another slave to sell off into a profit. However, the girl surprisingly grew to be the apple of his eye, and he her idol.

'''THE BEGINNING
= 394 - 406 A.C. ''' === The Adarys family regained enough wealth and status over the past century to easily support her standard education, though her father began to chip away at the solid reputation that was established by his parents. Given the turbulent life Orien refused to leave, a child was an awkward transition and he was constantly under scrutiny. It was these impressionable years that his misogyny, megalomania and proclivity towards violence shaped the young heiress.

Through the employed sellswords, Orien found his own handful to pick and elevate into rewarded positions.

'''INITIATION
= 406 - 410 A.C. ''' === In the past 100 years, slavery became a bandage to former wounds and fortified the ailing financial state of House Adarys. Now, Orien intended to freshen the available market with new merchandise. This addition vastly improved their sales, able to satisfy a variety of stock directly instead of depending upon what drifted through the port.

Soon the time came for her Father to cast a tutoring hand; that is, when he wasn't traveling abroad. He had always been prone to play games with his daughter - though not traditional whims like tying flowers or tag. These were games alike throwing a knife to point in a wall, or sneaking upon (and ambushing) the slaves when they were unawares. As she neared close to age, the games became a days work, learning knots in which to bind lesser men and the cunning to make them adorn the rope.

'''FRUITION
= 410 - 416 A.C. ''' === On her sixteenth nameday, she rode out with the true keepers of the family name. Under nightfall, they set upon a caravan too poor to afford true protection, sacking their wares and binding any who survived. When she had lashed her own woman in a noose, her father smiled. "This woman is your own." The cruelty forever present in her eyes would come alight.

"Show her."

'''PROWESS
= 416 - Present A.C. ''' ===

House Adarys
The annals of the Adarys family are fragmented at best, and allegiances or familial ties are anyone's guess, concerning the distance past. At the forefront, if one strains to recall, is Alequo Adarys the Silvertongue and Tyrant of Tyrosh over a century ago. At times the newer branches see prejudice based on their founding father, though they have only just begun to chronicle their bloodline.

The undercut of his hair is dyed purple.


 * Manzi: Another half sibling to Talora, Manzi is the most pampered and protected 9 year old this side of Essos. The little girl is endearing, but precocious and mirrors the family's boisterous attitude. Her hair is dyed pink at the ends, running to her calves when unbound.
