Lyssa Blackwood

Lyssa Blackwood is the eldest daughter of Dorian Blackwood and Alysanne Blackwood. A spirited young lady growing into a clever and ambitious woman, she has great desires to further her position and that of her family in whatever ways she can. At ten-n-four, she has lived the majority of her life at Raventree Hall, but yearns for some adventure beyond.

Appearance and Character
Lyssa stands at 5'6" with the potential to grow a little more before achieving her full height. She is slender of frame, fuller where a growing girl would normally be fuller, with a long mane of dark, black hair that hangs thickly to her waist. Pale of flesh and eyes, with high and defined cheekbones as the chunkiness of youth melted away, she has certainly become a beauty around the Hall.

The girl often takes to lighter colors, unlike many of her kin, preferring whites and soft gray colors to match her skin and eyes more oft than not. She wore both dresses and tunic with pants alike, though the latter was most often seen when she was tending to her small flower garden off the Godswood of Raventree Hall.

She is ever quick to smile or make a jape, and has been called kind and clever from time to time.

Early Life
Lyssa was born in 393 AC following her more sickly brother, Ambrose, from the year prior. She was a healthy babe, much to the relief of her mother, and that general health has stayed with her into her childhood and beyond.

As a child, she was what could be described as robust or chubby. Her sweet disposition made it easy to swindle extra treats from the kitchen staff. During her studies, she enjoyed learning of history and other houses of the realm, as well as horticulture. This enjoyment of plants, particularly flowers, led her to begging for her own garden to tend at the age of 8. And so it was granted to her, off of the Godswood.

As she grew older, and taller, what chubbiness there was seemed dissipate, blossoming the girl into a slender and graceful adolescent.

The Garden
Her garden was her pride and joy, an escape into a land of lovely petals and sweet smells. She tended to it personally, not minding the dirt and mulch and fertilizer (though she would never gather the fertilizer herself). Roses, Dragon's Breath, Lady's Lace, Nightshade, Eveningstar, Lilac and more could be found there.
