A female servant (often the youngest and lowest-ranked) in a large house who did jobs such as washing dishes, mopping floors, scouring surfaces, and preparing vegetables.
Description: Avenir is one of many servants who tends to King Miraz, Queen Prunaprismia, and the castle's demands. She spends her days in the scullery; cleaning pots, pans and utensils, scrubbing floors, fetching water from the well, lighting the dozens of fireplaces, assisting in foot preparation for the chefs and kitchen maids, and a menagerie more of routine tasks. In return, Avenir gets a roof over her head, a full(ish) stomach, and a bed in the Servants' quarters.
That's not terrible compared to some of the rut that villagers of Telmar have to put-up with. Not that this was her choice, anyway. She'd run away if she could.
Every once-in-a-while, Avenir is ordered to collect dirty laundry from the private sleeping chambers after delivering the fresh bathing water when the other maids are too occupied, and gets a quieter moment. In these moments, she gets to speak to the Prince. Caspian. He's good company, albeit she can never stay and dilly-dally around for too long.
Sometimes, he seems the only tolerable one in the castle. Sure, he may be a bit arrogant, but it's just as easy to have a joke with someone as it is to call them a stuck-up prick born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
One fateful day, the maids are busy, once again. In fact, everyone is busy. Avenir goes to the King and Queen's quarters to collect their laundry, assuming that the older staff are leaving it to her once again, but pauses at the door, listening to the abundance of yelling and talking inside. Queen Prunaprismia is giving birth to her son. Son? Wait a minute...
