Megga Yelshire

Megga Yelshire is the once disowned daughter of Alyn, and Mina Yelshire. Sister to Alerie Oakheart, she is pledged to Old Oak, and Lord Desmond Oakheart. Though not knighted, she carries herself with near the same level of honour, and skill one might find in a knight.

Appearance & Character
Once similar in looks to her younger sister, Megga is now the image of damaged beauty. Strong in both build and character, she has worked tirelessly to develop the strength she currently embodies.

History
Megga was always boyish in nature, and that fact became a great strain on her relationship with her father. There was always a distance between her and the Lord of Yelshire, but in her sixteenth year that distance became enforced.

After years of behaving as she wished, and ignoring what was expected of her, Megga was face with the reality of a betrothal. Her own father had promised to give her away to a stranger, and send her so far north she might never return.

Being sure of herself as she was, Megga fought the arrangement with all she had.

The hateful exchange brought shame to her family, and dishonored the promise their lord had made. Within the span of that day, all Megga had known was taken from her. No longer would she be allowed to live under the protection of her noble family, and disrespect their wishes.

Lord Yelshire sent her away, and ordered her to never return. If she was to live like a brutish monster of a man, she would be made to survive as one.

For years she lived the life she had been thrown to, finding safety and companionship with various bands of travelers, and knights. Though not knighted herself, she was able to make herself useful to those who were, fighting for any who choose to invite her into their makeshift families.

After five years on her own, she received a long wished for summons from her younger sister. Learning of Alerie's new position months after the wedding, Megga parted from the travelers she had been accompanying, and made for Old Oak to follow the promise of a loving homecoming, and the security to continue being who she truly was.

Upon her return she learned of even more changes to the world she used to know. Her father having only just died, her older brother rose to the position of Lord Yelshire. Though the two siblings had not been especially close as children, she was welcomed back into House Yelshire, and allowed once again to refer to herself as one of their kind.

Choosing to stay in Old Oak, Megga began work as her sister's personal guard. Though not always needed for protection, she was ever finding ways to show her thanks to House Oakheart, and the home they had happily offered to her.
