Post by Avelyn De Beaumont on Jun 30, 2011 6:04:00 GMT -5
Avelyn was the only child of Will and Ailith De Beaumont much to the distaste of her grandfather who had always dreamed of a grandson and heir. Despite this Avelyn's parents treasured their only daughter and loved her dearly. Will and Ailith owned a small bit of land away from Lord Williams large holding. Because of the disapproval of Avelyn's grandfather he did not feature largely in Avelyns young life. Avelyns parents disciplined their daughter fairly and taught her how to suitably become a young lady of noble standing of whom they could be proud of however they also gave her an education because they believed that an uneducated woman was dull in conversation. They also encouraged her to become her own person by allowing her the freedom to discover herself. They understood that Avelyn needed to be her own individual to enjoy her life. This was done through archery. Avelyn began learning archery as a young girl, she also began to learn how to sew. Because Avelyn's parents wanted their daughter to have future happiness and wanted Avelyn to freely choose her future husband they never betrothed her to anyone.| ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |

Before the death of her parents although Avelyn was taught how to become a respectable young lady she was also encouraged to develop her own personality, her grandfather critisizes her due to these aspects such as her playful use of sarcasm and her short temper when confronted with something she believes is unfair.

Upon arriving at the manor Avelyn was scrutinized by her grandfather and then dismissed to her new chamber. For the next four year Avelyn's grandfather betrothed her twice to two different suitors.
