Age: Late Twenties/Early Thirties
(Historical) Face Claim: Juana Ines De La Cruz
Timeline: Sarafan Era
Occupation/Title: Nosgoth Noblewoman, Sarafan Opposition
Character Appearance: Long brown, evenly cut, but flat hair. Thin neck and chest, but ample hips. Pear-shaped, although you wouldn’t be able to see that through her dresses. Harsh, small mouth, but pretty lips and nose. Brown eyes.
Personality: She is just as hungry, hounding, and ambitious as the noblemen who occasionally come to her beck and call. Never the type to yield; she is strict on etiquette and formality- and short on time with the recent death of her husband the late Viscount Kromburg.
Background: One cannot judge Asphodel Rikkard without first knowing her situation. The only child to an ill, but wealthy plantation owner in Nosgoth’s South East left her under scrutiny by the other noble-blooded piers she met with.
Despite not having the noble blood so desired by her would-be piers, she used this to her advantage to expand her curriculum in her early years. Rather than doting on acting the prim and proper noble-bride-to-be she studied mathematics, business, astronomy, along with many other arts suitable for heirs, but not heiresses at the time.
It wasn’t until she became seventeen when her mind, her inheritance, and even her physique piqued the intrigue of those in the class above her, and she found herself to be the bride of the wealthy Viscount Brand Kromburg. Although she proved to be an able enough wife by providing him three pregnancies, and two children, the marriage had always been assumed to be that of political and economic gain over romantic interest. This would come to a head twelve years into their partnership when rumor began that Viscount Kromburg had taken a mistress. The two did not speak to each other well on after that, and in his hour of death the Viscountess refused to allow their children to see him. If he died with bastard children; she did not know- but now she has a house to run in his absence; which she did with a vehement viciousness.
In her political career; her wit and knowledge did much to gain her favor in the eyes of her vassals. She herself boldly stood against the tithe the Sarafan order imposed for hunting vampires out of her town. With a few coins in the right teacher’s pockets; her little villa itself had it’s own anti-vampire guard; which she’d even allow other nearby villages to rent.
