Appearance

Her hair is long and golden-brown, and her eyes a pale blue-gray that many said were the color of the eastern oceans. According to her second husband, Szsaran, her body was incredibly soft. Despite being plump and plain, her smile is said to shine brighter than the sun, and her presence has been said to bring both calm and happiness.

Before The Aquilon
Little is known about Lydonyé's early history. She was born in the Ai'gyran city of Vestarthia in the Agost Clan Hall, where her family, patrons of the tribe of Ithys, had lived since the First Age. After the tribe of Ithys fell out of favor with the current royal lineage during Lydonyé's earlier years, the Agost Clan relocated to the holy city of Tua'lan to escape immediate persecution. Her new home, an ancient compound belonging to one of her brother-in-law's fathers, was where she was currently living before she was taken to the city of Kalos to fulfill her duties as the Gryphonmother.
