Name: Lady Ruella of Aili. She prefers to be called by her first name - Ruella, but close friends may call her Rue or Ella.
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Race: human - part Yamani
Rank: Lady of Aili. Also black-robe mage and a Dean of Mage-craft at the City of the Gods
Appearance: Average height and slim,.Long dark red-brown hair that she usually wears tied in a knot at the back of her neck. She has warn dark green eyes, that always seem to be hiding something in their depths. Her expression is often serious to those who do not know her well, but to her close friends, this is just a cover. They often hold a twinkle in their depths, and a smile always seems to be hiding at the corners of her mouth.
She usually wears long neat dresses - of varying material - under her black mage's rode when in office. However she also wears breeches and boots hidden under the skirts, so she is able to kilt them up when it is necessary. She may also wear a tunic, shirt and breeches when necessary. Her clothing is usually simple, but always of the best materials
Personality: She may seem serious to some who don't know her, But she is kind and compassionate. She is also wilful, and though difficult to anger, she may seem frightening to those who incur her wrath. She has a good sense of humour, and likes to laugh
Family: Her father - Lord Hayden of Aili. Her mother - Lady Ylaina of Aili. Her twin brother - Lord Darcy of Aili
Pets: A bay gelding called Wilder and a black kitten caled Trinket
Background: Ruella grew up In Aili, her family's fief, daughter of Lord Hayden and Lady Ylaina, and granddaughter of Harailt - old Dean of the university. Her father died when she was young, breaking her mother's heart. The estate was left to the control of a centaur named Lanash, a close family friend who had been banished from his herd years ago. Lanash taught both Ruella and her brother archery and riding. She also learnt to handle a glaive from her Yamani-born mother. When she was six, Ruella was captured by bandits, and kept locked in a dark box for some days. It is from this that she gained her fear of small spaces. She was trained in magic by her grandfather - Harailt of Aili, as well as the mages Numair Salmalin and Veralidaine Sarrasri.
Fief Aili remains under control of the centaur Lanash, on behalf of Ruella and her brother (who, as a knight, is often away on patrol).
Strengths/Weaknesses: a black-robed mage, she has one of the strongest Gifts in the world. She is afraid of small enclosed spaces because of an instance in her childhood. She can use a bow, ride, and handle a glaive, and although she does not spend enough time training with these to build up strength, she handles her skills with speed and grace, learned through years of experience
