Renata Redwyne

Renata Redwyne nee Florent is the fraternal twin of Alesander Florent and the Lady of the Arbor via her marriage to Ryam Redwyne. They appear to live a comfortable life despite their family's past struggles, and sired four children: Florys, Rossart, Raymun & Alerie.

The Lady's upbringing was an ambiguous and unconventional one, considering House Florent's standing and her foreign mother. These reasons have lead her to multiple artistic pursuits and current passion for painting.

Appearance & Character
The woman is graced with above average height, figure a blend of athleticism and new motherly comforts. Where a slender physique once resided in her active youth, a full set of curves are caressed in opulent fashions. Robust, pale eyes are consistently outlined in kohl to exaggerate their vulpine curiosity, contrasted by freckled features and dimpled cheeks. Gifted the maternal warmth of the Essos sun, the effects of the islands upon her are welcoming, bright and seductive. The red tint to her hair betrays true Florent blood;  'The vixen comes to play,' smiling wry and delightfully clever.

Artistry woven in her dress and upon canvas, Renata has perfected the art of presentation. Cool blues take in the world and define her life from the swatches of colour and shades of grey. An expressive type of luxury, the Lady Redwyne instills an edge of playful danger in her rivals and admirers alike. Through a budding reputation with brush and thread many nobles are immortalized upon their walls, bearing the mark of the wistful fox, 'R'. It is a signature of her pride, where she takes silent pleasure establishing herself within other people's lives, whether through clients, friendships or otherwise.

392 A.C. - 402 A.C
A pair of fox twins are born into the remnants of a noble house;  Renata and her brother, bright eyed and bushy tailed, bounded through their childhood into many adventures that would earn them the nicknames of "The Black foxes." They were grand within their own minds, steadily made aware of the painful reality of their fallen house   a dream of restoration out of reach, frittered away by their father and lord, Irmy Florent. But that did not detract from a wholesome upbringing. In her youth she were inseparable from her twin, genuinely making their mischievous, meddling antics a double feature for those of Oldtown. Renata held the freedom to pursue most of her whims, including the occasional foray with a sword or hunting. It was through these indulgences that she grew into a tomboy, merely tempered by the expectations of a Lady.

402 A.C. - 409 A.C.
The Lord Fox had reduced his family to what little ground they had left to stand upon. Though Old Allies did not abandon House Florent, efforts were being made to solidify their meager hold. A naturally neurotic and defensive man, teenage Renata quickly taught herself to be the rose in her fathers jacket, impressing her charms upon those who would come to see them. While her brother continued to work a sword against his enemies, Renata found her whimsical dalliances. The arts quickly proved an anchoring point that let her earn her place in the Great Game that her mother supported fiercely.

It was also these years that supplementary education was enforced amidst her diplomatic ventures to maintain relations. With her older, distant brother Auguste away in King's Landing and her twin consumed with squiring, she was left to represent the house with her mother on more than one occasion. Loneliness, but most of all BOREDOM, plagued the young fox girl and she sought new interactions within the town. She often dyed her hair black in random impulses, pretending to be anything but a Florent. Needless to say it were easy for her to fall into one or two bad influences, despite the generosity of Hightower to see her properly reared.

409 A.C. - 413 A.C.
With time and maturity, Renata became the ebon vixen that was expected of her, lovely and lithe. A couple men considered asking for her hand in marriage, for even with Florent's defunct nobility came the potential backing of their Liege and kin. It was the freedom she'd always had that kept her from some hasty allegiance ploy, and of course,  the flaccid spine of her Father. Renata resigned to focus upon her craft, depressed that her brother had set off for Essos amidst a personally harrowing time.

Companionship lost, she drew to reclusion from her duties and studies.

....Until she met Lord Redwyne, that is. In painting him, he confided of the many woes with his own Lady wife. Finding many common interests, a fast friendship developed that satisfied her endless energy and appetite. Ryam did much to foster her creativity, teaching the fundamentals of business to Renata so that she might prosper with her artistry. She, in turn, supported him emotionally through his failing marriage, ambitious turmoil and eventually, the death of his wife. Their feelings grew into an affair of two years;  and it only evolved when Ryam was able to publicly return the affection, resulting in marriage two years after.

414 A.C. - 418 A.C.
With the slow build up of their relationship, they had forged a solid foundation for their coming family. Renata was with child quickly, establishing their bloodline immediately with a baby girl and furthering it with a son, Rossart, that would be named their heir a couple years later. Some might say this happened prematurely, due to the celerity of which it occurred after wedlock. But the two Redwynes swiftly saw to fortifying their claims on the Arbor after Ryam's inheritance and dominated in mercantile prowess that plays upon each of their strengths.

As of now, they are taking part in the Summerhall festivities as they continue to forge the Redwyne, and by proxy the Florent, legacy anew.
