Visenya Ormollen

Visenya Ormollen is the youngest child and only daughter of the late Magister Moredo Ormollen and his wife, Serenei Varysa. Her elder brother is Magister Salladhor Ormollen, Patriarch of their house. She was born, raised, and resides in the Free City of Lys.

Appearance and Character
As a child, Visenya was quiet and reserved to the point of being seldom-noticed around the Valonqar. Awkward in both her bearing and behavior, the only daughter of Magister Moredo was given little acknowledgement. This created in her a sense of solitude and self-reliance, with only her elder brother Salladhor to depend upon. She retreated deep within the written word and her own imagination, neglecting those who neglected her, and thus continuing to be a wallflower within the Valonqar.

Whether her demeanor was the result or cause of her being disregarded is hard to say, but in any case her flowering would bring a great many sudden changes for Visenya. The plainness of her youth was replaced by womanly beauty, in the softness of her figure and refinement of her countenance. The once-wallflower suddenly found herself showered in the attention of male suitors and potential female companions. But despite her newfound beauty, Visenya found herself to still be lacking in charm and grace, caused by her years of lurking. She sought the aid of many noteworthy women of the city, especially courtesans, who taught her how she might use her beauty to gain a life of pleasure and leisure, and how she might avoid the ugly aspects of such a life.

It was not long before Visenya came to count herself among the great courtesans of the city. Her beauty, her name, and her gentle charm made men young and old, great and small, desire her fiercely. She acquired a great deal of wealth from her benefactors, as she calls them, and has become a notable patron of the arts throughout Lys. Visenya can often be found mingling in high circles, though she has never been half so influential as the more famous courtesans in the history of Lys. Not that she desires such influence, nor the dangers it inevitably brings. She has been lucky, in that she has managed a comfortable life on charm alone, and has wisely invested her wealth to provide for her well into the future.

Visenya possesses the green eyes and chestnut hair of her mother, who died giving birth to her and has thus remained a stranger to the girl throughout her life. Of hearty stock, and a lover of horseback riding and other physical activity, she still possesses a figure that is youthful yet womanly, slim but soft.
