Ardonye the Gryphonmother

Ardonyé the Gryphonmother, also known as Ardonyé of Tratia neé Agost, is the daughter of Anjia and Tordun Agost and is an Aquilon of the Ai'gyr. She is the first woman to ride a gryphon since the Second Age, and as such many have given her the title of Gryphonmother. Ardonyé was originally married to Reik au Angol but never consumated her marriage, thus ending their contract; several years later, she became the wife of Szsaran of Tratia, one of her fellow Aquilons. She is the rider of Mirduit, the only known white gryphon since the First Age.

Appearance
Ardonyé was considered the least beautiful of her sisters, being of a more stout, solid build with short legs and broader shoulders. Her hair is long and golden, and her eyes a pale blue-gray that many said were the color of the  eastern ocean. 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.

Background
Ardonyé is the second-youngest daughter of Tordun Agost, Father of the Agost Clan, and a member of the tribe of Ithys. She lived her first sixteen years in the Ai'gyran city of Vestarthia until a family secret was revealed, putting the family in heavy debt that forced them to uproot from their ancestral home to the Wilds, where many other disenfranchised clans had begun to settle during Arbor Mei's rise to the Head of the Council. She lived in the Wilds for three years,
