Evangeline Aurexae

Evangeline Aurexia is the founder, and currently the house leader, of the House of aurexia. A determined, though somewhat inexperienced, leader, she founded the House of Aurexia in 256 TE after the death of her father, Evandar Von Mapel. Though she faces many hardships, she hopes to overcome them, and make her father proud.

Childhood
Evangeline was born in Ein Bahel in 223 TE to Evandar Von Mapel and his wife, Elizabeth Von Mapel. His father, Evandar, was a prominent advisor to the king, and had numerous great accomplishments, and so from the very beginning Evangeline had high expectations to live up to. Evangeline was a very hard working child, and exceeded in her education, aided by the fact that her parents could afford the best education possible.

Evangeline was kind and compassionate, but was always anxious that she could not live up to her father’s name. That she would fail him somehow. She always worked hard to try to be the best she could be, but the worry remained.

Having no other children, Evandar also told Evangeline everything he knew. However, for a large part of her childhood Evandar could not be there. He was often busy with the matters of the kingdom, and then he had to spent almost all of his time dealing with the civil while it reigned over the country. Evandar told his daughter of how he used to worship entropy, and warned her to always be wary of what and whom she didn’t truly know.

Adulthood
Evangeline finished her education in 237 TE, achieving high marks. From here on she helped her father with his work, training to be his successor. Her father helped her to become skilled at many things, training her in sword fighting included, yet she was still concerned that she would not be up to the task when the time came.

Increasingly Evangeline had to take up her father's mantle, as Evandar was getting old. Notably, she discovered much about the lost history of dragons in Caeli, something that had been thought lost to time. She successfully discovered two species, the Caelian ice dragon (or Naian Dragon), and the Vhanyrian steelclaw.

Founding house aurexia.
When she was 21, Evangeline married Merlot Aurexia. The last surviving descendant of a house from a civilization long lost. The two went on to have two children, Varyn Aurexia, and Merlot Jr Aurexia, with more to come. The couple lived happily together for many years, until in 256 TE, when Evangeline was 33, Evandar died at the age of 84.

This event triggered Evangeline to found the house of Aurexia with her wife, and her uncle Valbrandr. A house based on strength, discipline, and ambition, Evangeline sought to replicate the rapid rise in power that her father had attained. If she could bring her new house to glory, then that would be enough. It would prove to be very difficult, but Evangeline is still determined to make her father proud.
