Child of Oberon of Amber and Moins of Rebma |
Warning:
This page contains information that
has not yet been
revealed in the course of play.
Personal Symbol: Emerald Wave
on a silvery field
Colors: Ocean greens and greys
Physical Description:
Llewella would be a beautiful woman, if she wasn't so withdrawn.
Jade colored
eyes and long wavy hair are set off in
a skin that has just a light touch of a warm green. She is tall,
and swallow-waisted, with delicate wrists, hands and feet. Her face
carries a classic beauty as well as a classic reserve.
Her voice holds both the whispering susurrus of the waves, and the deep
tones of the hidden depths. And her movements are graceful, slow
waves, though she can move with the speed of a storm.
Mannerisms:
Llewella will rarely appear focused on the matter in hand, rather she will
appear to be interested in something else or doing something else most
of the time. She has the 'staring off into the distance' look
down perfectly.
Attire:
Llewella prefers draped and drifting gowns in shades of green and grey.
Her jewelry is minimal but showing exquisite taste. She is not fond
of 'accessories',
preferring to keep her lines clean.
Almost all of her clothing 'rustles' somewhat,
and she prefers shiny or glossy light
fabrics. Everything enhances the sensation of drifting, floating
water.
Psychological Description:
Calm and very cool, Llewella avoids the limelight and things that might
distract
her from her work. She is *extremely*
private, and has to defend that privacy against the Universe's greatest
sneaks. She does so by making herself, not so much disliked, as just
unwanted.
Likes:
Quiet Contemplation
The precise application of Force
Water and things of the Deep Ocean
Books
Dislikes:
Childish behavior
Unnecessary Disruptions
Action without Thought
History:
Llewella has always suspected that there was something beyond the petty
squabblings of her siblings, and devoted
her life to study and contemplation trying to find it.
She sought in the fury of battle -- while far away from the prying eyes
of her brothers and sisters. She sought in the dusty libraries of
the universe. In the laboratories of scientists and sorcerers.
And though, not welcome, within the bounds of Amber castle itself.
Llewella's searching led her to a stronger and stronger belief that what
she sought may actually reside in herself. But the Zen masters and
philosophers of Amber and Shadow were as unhelpful as of those who saw
answers coming from outside the self.
While on her searches, she met a widower in a Shadow named Shar-da-Kor
-- McKan Elysian. McKan had three growing children from his first
marriage, and was a seeker after truth himself. Though McKan knew
nothing of the nature of Shadow and Reality, he still struggled within
the parameters of his narrow world using incredibly elegant mathematical
or sorcerous formulas. And despite his work, was a loving and devoted
father.
Llewella found herself drawn to this enigma hidden within the drifting
worlds of Shar-da-Kor. A kind of intellectual passion and an understanding
grew between the two, and Llewella paused in her own studies to take a
moment to sample truly living, with a husband and a family and later a
son of her own.
While Llewella never spoke of where she was from or the nature of the universe
to her husband, McKan was not a stupid man. And after years of marriage
to his quiet yet powerful wife, had made some fairly accurate deductions
about her nature. Others, however, were completely founded upon false
premises. McKan and Llewella never spoke of these things, either
between themselves or to their children.
As a mother, Llewella was not overly protective. She felt that the
best -- and possibly only -- way her headstrong son could learn of the
world was to experience first-hand. Not to attempt to diminish it
to formula and study as was both his parents' tendency. And experience
it Saphir did. Llewella watched as her son seemed to grow in the
twinkling of an eye from a wide-eyed babe to a young man dealing with the
death of friends.
Then came the summons, Amber -- and more importantly, Rebma -- was
under attack. Llewella left her home and family -- her experiment
in Shar-da-Kor -- to return to her half-sister's aid in the seas of Rebma.
At the ambitious Moire's insistence that they needed someone on the inside
of Amber's battle plans, Llewella reluctantly joined the forces that marched
back down the Black Road.
When she entered Chaos with the troops of Amber to take shelter from the
Chaos storm, Llewella knew that she had finally found what she was looking
for.
It seemed that indeed, it wasn't the loud and boisterous vitality of her
siblings that was the ultimate goal of
life, but a 'centering' and a deep commitment to the nature of one's self.
*These* were the things that gave one a Reality beyond all others.
Llewella managed to speak privately with the being known as Swayville --
and once even shared brief words with the Serpent. She gained access
to and accepted the Logrus. All without any of her siblings -- save
Benedict -- knowing. Now she is working on strengthening her own
persona enough to withstand the rigors of Chaos and the Universe at large.
Once she's done that, she might eventually escape the constant whining
and bickering of her peers. But she knows she has a long way to go.
