Delphine

Born in Lorath in 284, Delphine is the daughter of a minor family of note in that City-State. From an early age, she showed an interested in plants. Her family nurtured that interest, letting into the glass houses that they had in order to grow some of the more exotic foods that were delicacies this far north, rather than the common items that they were in warmer climates.

Her interest in plants has grown with her, and is her area of specialism. It helps her in a number of different ways. She is an excellent cook, thanks to her knowledge of different herbs, and how preparing different plants help bring out the flavours and textures that she wants in the dishes that she serves. Equally, she knows about which plants have notable side affects, and how to prepare them to the degree needed for whatever her Mistress has in mind.

Appearance and Character
Like most Lorathi, Delphine is blessed with pale skin. Her horizon blue eyes are also fairly typical of the city. Conversely, her hair is exceptional, being ashen. It is said that it came to be by the combination of a Valyrian silver haired Lyseni great-grandfather and her Lorathi grandmother. Its presence in their descendants varies, almost as if it chosen at the flip of a coin.

Her breasts and buttocks are not large, but her figure is fine and shapely, with long, elegant limbs. However, she tends to use them for reaching for fruits or herbs rather than wrapped in gloves & stockings at a ball.

Delphine is softly spoken, with little trace of her Lorathi heritage being evident. However, when roused to passion or anger, it becomes much more prominent. That is rare, however.

She is dedicated to her craft, and to her Mistress, who has been able to show her so much, and allowed her to come so far, in both terms of herbology and herself.

History
Aside from her love of plants, Delphine's childhood was fairly typical. She was taught her lessons. She played. She brawled in the dirt with boys until she was about ten, when she was started to be taught more womanly arts. Whilst she was perfectly capable of doing such things, they didn't really interest her. Plants still captivated her, and she spent much of her time in the glass houses that her family was fortunate enough to own, and their gardens. It was to them that she dedicated her time, rather than boys, artisan crafts or embroidery.

That changed at the age of 16. She had always been fascinated by the tales of her Grandfather, and what had brought him to Lorath.
