Rania Vashar

Rania Vashar is a Magister of the Myrish Conclave, elevated to the position following the death of her father. A favoured sister of the current Prince-Admiral, she is a woman devoted to enjoying the opulence of nobility whilst escaping the bondage it brings for some.

Appearance and Character
Hot-tempered and volatile, Rania's life of affluence has made her conceited to the core. Like much of her family she is slight of frame, standing at only average height. Many of her bronzed features are common to Myr; deep russet eyes and an olive-toned tan, but particular pride is taken in maintaining a long, thick set of tresses.

The Magister’s disposition is notably changeable. There exists an erratic balance between displays of boisterous amiability and fierce bouts of vexation. The common arrogance of nobility is evident in even her most simplistic behaviours, carefree and oblivious to the consequences her actions may impose upon others. Still, she holds herself to what she believes to be a high standard of integrity.

An impulsive streak turns Rania frequently toward gambling, and rarely is a high thrill game of risk or chance turned away. Since ascending to the Conclave, she has partaken in fewer athletic pursuits and will instead often sponsor an entrant in her name.

Spoiled by her opulent upbringing, her father often compared Rania to a wild animal. Many were a beauty to behold, but getting too close would lead to an inevitable mauling.

History
From a young age, Rania was noted for her intuition and a sharp talent for deduction. She took little interest in history, writing or etiquette but was advanced beyond her years in mathematics.

Whilst the Vashar family is most widely known for political and military office, it was discovered at an early age that their youngest daughter was best suited to matters of commerce, owing to her affinity with numbers.

Upon reaching maturity, every child of Idris Vashar was granted patronage in a venture of their choice; though her father demanded much from his children, Rania was born with the bliss of being the final offspring to an ageing man. Having already secured an heir, a fortune and a legacy, she was liberated from many traditional expectations.

Her successful business forays into art and textile industries became a passion, and further solidified her familial standing and favour. Whilst often beholden to her whims and compulsions, none could argue with the coin her ventures procured, and Idris was often blind to his daughter’s shortcomings. Still, for the sake of propriety Rania became adept at hiding both her whereabouts and her dealings when necessary, taking a fondness to not only the anonymity but the thrill of the veil.

Adolescence
The daughter of a prominent magister, she lived for little more than gratification. In youth, her fancy was taken by all things exotic; she would experience it all, in whatever way shape or form possible, until 411 AC. By all accounts, Rania grew tired of her aimless lifestyle, unsatisfied with her steady success in business under Idris' guiding hand and nursing increasingly poor habits.

Ezra, the eldest of the Vashar children, arranged for his sister to stay with trusted companions in Lys. He rationalised that his own travels had made him a rounded man, extinguishing the rampant fires of immaturity and returning him home, ready to fulfil his duties. A well-crafted display, and Rania was permitted to spend a year abroad.

Little was heard or seen of her beyond letters home until she returned, early in 413 AC. Though her brother’s emphasis on worldliness proved unnecessary, Rania's extravagances did diminish, and she settled more readily to life in Myr.

Adulthood
Though the passing of Idris Vashar devastated his children, he left behind a capable financier in Rhania, who would ensure the continuance of their family's wealth. Now a devoted patron of the cloth trade, manufacturing and exporting chiefly lace, she was a proven success. When Ezra took over the family holdings, he delegated most mercantile affairs to her keeping.

For years she had been a trusted confidant, and in 415 AC Rania was elevated to the conclave by her brother's grace, filling the vacancy left by their recently departed father. She proved an able magister, well-regarded for her business efficacy and management of House Vashar's assets. In 416 AC, she voted in favour of the formation of the Triarchy. Though most would not dare say it aloud, in times of dissent amongst the nobility and the Magisters there existed those who would whisper her virulent temper was curbed only by the leash in her brother's hand. Many were quick to change their mind, for Rhania held both the Vashar purse strings and the ear of the Prince-Admiral. Others simply knew to keep such things confined to murmur.

Still, the Vashar's have proven a fine acumen for maintaining favour, swaying as necessary with whichever way the political winds blew to maintain their status and regard.

Recently, Rania has taken a renewed interest in art. Diverse ranges of sculptures and paintings have been delivered to the family's home gallery in Myr. During the Festival of the Three Daughters, showings were arranged for visiting nobility who so desired it.
