History: The Fabre family is a minor noble family known for their handling, collecting, and expertise in precious jewels and metals. With their hands on such lucrative goods, the Fabres were assured in their wealth, though their social and political standing weren’t quite as lofty. However comfortable in their money, one of the sons took a fancy to a merchant daughter, a descendant of Dutch immigrants. The first child of their marriage was Diana.
Diana was a child of a sweet enough temper but didn’t always avoid trouble. She took to her lessons responsibly enough, but she took to action even more. It became obvious that she had a talent for athleticism as she could easily run and tumble around to play. They indulged in giving her lessons in swordsmanship, archery, and horseback riding.
Her mother miscarried her second child, but the third child was born a boy. Even as it became apparent that all the grooming for inheriting shifted from her to her younger brother, Diana accepted it. She didn’t completely resent it since jewelry and engravings, among other things, were not in her greatest of interests. Pretty soon, her parents began looking around for a suitable family to marry her into.
Her parents picked out a few prestigious enough families--all lesser nobles but still of high enough status of note. Diana met the sons of each family as courteously as she could (one in particular she recklessly and unabashedly insulted and dismissed). Thankfully, her parents chose to make arrangements with the Starks, a family well known for its influence and members in the guard and military as well as being close with the Aronines.
Accepting her fate, she tried to get along with her betrothed, and surprisingly enough, she did get along with him and even ended up liking him. He was easygoing and down to earth enough that she couldn’t find anything too annoying or irritating about him. Maybe the marriage wasn’t going to be as bad as she thought it was going it be.
A year after their wedding when she was 16, they had their first child, a suitable and healthy male heir. A year and a half after the first, they had another boy, and two years after that, they had a baby girl. It seemed it was going to end up a comfortable and possibly content life except for what happened when the youngest child was but a few months old.
A newly hired servant kidnapped the baby and held her for ransom. Diana and her husband were willing to meet the demands but all they found when they went to the appointed meeting place was the traitorous servant, dead on the ground from suffocation. Their child was nowhere to be found.
This event turned on or off (it can be debated) a switch within her. She became restless and troubled, and though she tried to keep it hidden and at bay, it was hard. Diana did her best to be a good mother and wife, but she felt the need to do more. In time, she came up with the idea to enter the Guard. It didn’t take too much to convince her husband she could do it, and she made promises not to be too reckless. Her husband was already part of the Guard, so he could keep watch on her.
At first, she did well enough with the training and making sure to split her time evenly between her new duties and her current duties at home. She made sure to raise her sons as much as she could, though with both her and her husband in the Guard, it became even more apparent they needed a governess to help out.
Four years after she joined the Guard, her first big mistake happened. After knocking down a thief in order to arrest him, she had thought she had completely knocked him out. She had been wrong, and what happened next resulted in the long, thin scar marring her back. It took her a while to recover from it, but once she was back in shape, she was much more cautious and a little more ruthless.
Her work was diligent enough that combined with her noble rank, she was soon promoted to sergeant. Diana had no illusions that her nobility didn’t have some say in her new rank, but that was how the world worked, and she knew that. It didn’t change the way she thought or how she worked. The other guards could say what they wanted; she was competent, and she would show them by doing her job dutifully. Five years after she made sergeant, she was promoted to lieutenant.
Over the years, her personality slowly hardened, her past sweetness and spontaneity seeping away. There was a particular change four years ago. While pursuing a small group of criminals, her husband had been struck down. His death hit her hard, but she persevered and devoted even more of her time to the Guard. Her sons were about to reach adult age. They would understand. It didn’t mean she loved them any less.
Now, she’s been a lieutenant for at least five years (i like increments of five, okay) and it’s mostly her life outside of checking up on her sons.
Personality: Diana had once been a more flexible person. She had been sweeter, more spontaneous, and with a sense of adventure and fun. Now, that is not the case. Oh, she still has a sense of humor and an idea of fun, but it has warped slightly over the years. Her sense of humor has a very small sadistic streak, but she keeps it mostly under wraps now that she’s a lieutenant. (The only people who can really get a glimpse of her past softer self is her family.)
The core and majority of her personality now, however, revolves around efficiency. Her work ethic is intense; she works very hard at being effective, efficient, and putting out the most quality work out in the greatest of quantities, and she expects anyone she works with to share a similar work ethic. Your paperwork better be perfect, or she’ll make you redo it; you better not be a minute late without good reason, or she’ll penalize you; you better not waste her time with trivialities, etc. If you are lazy, if you fuck up and don’t admit it, if you know you can do better but don’t, expect all her disapproval and disdain.
However, she’s not unprofessional since she believes in professionalism like it’s her job. She is not the most approachable of people, but she is never outright rude unless the occasion calls for her to be. She is a noble lady, so it isn’t unexpected that her words can be veiled or full of wordplay.
It is hard to impress her or attain her approval, but she holds the same standards for herself as well. At least she’s not hypocritical in that sense.
Personality Keywords: firm, demanding, effective, efficient, intimidating, trollbitch
Appearance: Diana is tall and wiry. After joining the Guard, she's definitely more muscle and sinew than softness and curves, not that she ever had many curves to begin with. Her dark hair is sleek and straight, and her facial features are sharp. For all that she looks like a stick sometimes, she can strike an imposing figure. Her hands and feet are callused, and there is a long thin scar down the length of her back.
Her wardrobe is whatever is befitting of her rank and occupation. As a guard, she is in uniform. When she is off-duty, she is in dresses appropriate for a noble. Diana dresses for her roles, whatever role it is, only seeing it as proper, professionalism, and a necessity of life.
AND SHE HAS THE LUCKIEST GENES THAT MAKE HER LOOK YOUNGER THAN SHE IS.
Languages Known: English, a little Dutch, German, Latin, and French
Skills: swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, doing paperwork, organization, delegation,
Strengths: making you feel insignificant, making you hate her, quick on her feet, dexterous, analyzing
Weaknesses: her family, obsessive, workaholic, mostly unsympathetic and unable to connect with people, harsh on everyone including herself, dwells unhealthily, bad at coping, emoting
