Ceibi Dandelion

Ceibi Dandelion is a noble woman who started with nothing and has since been working herself up that ladder of life. She is know as the Matriarch of House Dandelion and the Grand Distributor. She part Oblivite, meaning she ages slower than the average human.

Early Life
Born as Ceibi Kyak, she was left in the town of Amos in Theios Esskudal to be taken care of by two caretakers. Aya was an elderly woman, around her 60s, who was the mother figure of Ceibi during her upbringing. Aya was stern in her teachings, she was the definition of “tough love”. Her husband, Merodach, was a humble merchant who traveled through all of Theios Esskudal. He would teach Ceibi about the merchant world and some street smarts. Ceibi had a simple life, until Aya fell incredibly ill. Merodach left the two in search of medical help. Weeks went by and there was no sign of help anywhere. Ceibi tried to look for help around Amos, but when she returned home she found Aya on the floor. The disease got to Aya, and she passed away. Starving and with nothing to lose, Ceibi turned to banditry, as a way to survive. Along the way she met other young bandits and formed a team. In the team were Amare, Mattaki, Bazi and Ceibi.

Bandit years
During their 5 year reign, the gang traveled through small towns around Theios-Essukdal. They were successful until the gang traveled to Urnu-Arrak. The heist was to steal from high government officials. Ceibi’s last target was the Chief Diplomat, StoryStudio. She got caught by him when she was stealing his weed from his house. The rest of the gang got arrested and put into trial. While awaiting for execution, StoryStudio pitied Ceibi in particular and relieved her from execution. Ceibi was instead banished from Theios Esskudal.

Banishment
Throughout her travels, Ceibi stayed a year in Plagatea. She had a one night stand with a citizen from there and fell pregnant. In time, Ceibi gave birth to a son and left him in an orphanage of the town. She continued her travels until she saw a town within a mountain.

Arrival to Bardonia
The town that Ceibi settled was named Turrotown. Ceibi sooned discovered she was living within a powerful nation called Bardonia. From there she conjured up a plan to raise above the ranks. While visiting nearby towns, Ceibi met the son of the Chancellor, Eleven. The son of the Chancellor looked oddly similar to her, but Ceibi saw how smitten he was of her and took the chance. Ceibi married Eleven. The marriage was a short one, full of headaches. A crisis fell on the nation when the chancellor died during a battle against the ferrymen. Many started to claim to be chancellor’s successor and among them was Eleven. During the storming of the imperial palace, Ceibi stumbled into the office of the deceased chancellor. She noticed some documents in the desk with her name and discovered the truth of her origins. The Chancellor had 3 kids, whom he sent to different nations in order to keep them safe. Before his death, he ordered that his kids would return home. From that moment Ceibi knew what she had to do, find her real family. At the same time, Eleven was declared Chancellor but was quickly removed by the Chancellor’s real successor, Mobius, his right hand man. The new Chancellor was then named emperor of Bardonia. The new emperor permitted, with skepticism, the children of the chancellor to stay and become a noble house. From there the Royal House of Dandelion was born. Ceibi was now known as Ceibi Dandelion.

House of Dandelion
Ceibi started looking through government documents of where her lost family were. Along the way she met a long lost cousin called Hernicci, who was king of a vassal of Bardonia. There weren't many of them at the beginning. Another job that Ceibi had to boost the family’ recognition was to meet other royal families throughout Rathnir. She hopped on a ship and traveled the world in search of other Royal families. She left Eleven to take care of their house back at their home land. Eleven was granted the title of Chancellor by the emperor. During her travels Ceibi won the hearts of many royal families, to the point of gaining their respect. Connections were made with Huitca, Daelyria, Niedea, the Soleannen Faith, etc. Returning home, Ceibi would have to face one of the worst moments in the families’ history. Upon returning to Bardonia, news spread that the Eleven, the titled chancellor, staged a coup against the emperor and failed horribly. As punishment, he was forced to abdicate his royal title. From there the royal family did not have the emperor’s favour. It was thanks to Ceibi that they could remain even of Eleven's treasonous attempt. This caused a rift between the siblings. Eleven grew jealous of Ceibi’s rapid influence in the world view. During this period, Eleven caused numerous fights and problems for the family that it reached the point of him being banished from representing the family in important events. Ceibi met a town owner named Dongus Koshi, mayor of Dabos Koshi. They saw how compatible they were and decided on marriage. A month later they would marry each other in the steps of the capitol building in New Dorasterrock, where many royals attend. A year later their first children, a boy named Marius, would be born. She later birthed a daughter, which she named Ichi Dandelion. A young boy wrote to Ceibi, claiming to be her son. She sent men to bring the boy to Bardonia, where she saw the iconic purple eyes. It was her son from Plagatea. She adopted him into the family and he was named Memer Dandelion. As the family began expanding, the Parajon Estate was being built and the house getting more involved in the government of Bardonia.

The fall of the Dandelions
The Bardonian Government under Emperor Mobius was suspicious of Ceibi, believing she wanted to overthrow the emperor as her brother intended. This suspicion only got worse when Ceibi was accused of a sending an assassin to murder her brother. Her cousin, Hernicci, threatened to attack the royal family. It was then discovered that the assassin was a ryzani who had a grudge against the Dandelion. Months after the incident, a new government was being implemented in Bardonia. Within the new government, the royal family was declared disbanded and stripped from their titles by the emperor. The reasoning behind the decision was he grew too paranoid of the family. Although Ceibi was suspected to be treasonous in the past, the emperor grew to respect her. She was granted the title of High Official in the government. In search of somewhere to relax, Ceibi settled in the merchant town of Mavos.

During her stay she met the owner of Mavos, a man called Jacob Azurov. Ceibi and Jacob’s relationship started as a rocky one. Jacob was actively anti-monarchy and contributed to the disbandment of the family. Eventually Jacob and Ceibi grew close, to the point that they shared a night of passion. The emotions that they shared grew bigger and more intense each day that passed. After time went by the two fell in love. The love they shared had to be in secret, because Ceibi was still married to Dongus and an affair was a bad image for the house. As months went by and the affair continued, Ceibi fell pregnant with Jacob’s child. As they couldn't keep it, when the child was born, they were sent to an orphanage in Ryzan so no one could hurt them.

After the affair, Ceibi decided to take her kids and husband around the world. Along the way her daughter, Ichi, fell in love with a huitcan prince and got married. They also traveled to Eldham, where they met people from different societies. Ceibi favored the nation of Batu during her visits. After a year of traveling, the noble house was called to return back home. Many changes happened within the government of Bardonia. A new emperor was established, the Prophet, who reinstated the royal family of Dandelion and promoted Ceibi to the Grand Council. Ceibi received a letter from her officers that carried sad news. Her husband, Dongus Dandelion, was out at sea during a severe storm and has been missing ever since. It has been weeks since the search parties went for him but it was declared that he is presumed dead. A funeral was held for him and many from the family spoke about him.

During the mourning period, Ceibi rekindled with her old love Jacob, the new Tsar of Westreach. After a year, Ceibi accepted Jacob’s proposal. Jacob introduced his kids to Ceibi, one of his kids being the love child between him and Ceibi, Kino Azurov. Ceibi was overjoyed to see the purple eyes that the child had. A new age was coming as the sun rose.
