CHARACTERISTICS
Appearance:
As where her brothers takes trait from their father, Atia is the splitting image of her mother in her younger days. The skin is fair and clean, retaining its pale color without appearing unhealthy. The slim waist meets slender hips in a soft curve, making her body ideal for any dressmaker to work with. While her overall build is based on slender fingers and nimble shoulders, she does have a layer of muscle spanning the long legs and sections of her back; this is a result from some training she was introduced to as a teenager.
Despite the wealth of her family, and how finely dressed her mother is, Atia herself prefers her robes and dresses to be more subtle, enjoying the fine quality and beauty of simple patterns that work together. But whatever pattern or piece of clothing she wears, she always works in a golden color; the stitches, jewelry, and sometimes the entire outfit has the same color as her eyes. The robes and dresses are always hand-crafted, making her easy to recognize from a distance.
Atia`s Magister robes (mainly worn on official businesses)
But it is not the captivating eyes of gold, nor the elaborate clothing, which defines Atia...No, its her hair; The fiery red mane of scarlet hair, runs all the way down to her ankles. A great amount of care is put into it, leaving the hair in an almost constant state of silken shine and softness. It is another example of the family`s wealth and high standards.
Personality:
Elegance, Beauty, Wisdom and Manners...these are all traits, which are required to be considered a "good" woman, in the Scarlet family. Raised to be the very ideal of these traits, leaves Atia struggling every day. Cause behind the little smile, polite words and captivating golden eyes, lies a young woman with a burning soul.
Atia`s main personality, is that of a kind and social woman; Rarely found without a smile on her face, her light giggle can often be heard from across the room. She can usually be found at the center of things, capable of carrying out multiple conversations, without losing track of where one ends, and the other starts. She often attends social events, enjoying the companionship of people with fellow interests, and always willing to meet a new face.
And then there is the lesser seen side of her, although it is as famous as her social skills. Not only does the red-haired noble see you, no, she reads you, swallowing up every information from even the slightest of body movement, or hesitance in the spoken words. Using the gathered information, Atia is capable of gathering valuable information, or maybe learn secrets that most would like to keep hidden.
Where as many as a tongue of silver, Atia has one of gold. Having learned the arts of speech craft and manipulation from her many travels with her father, the young Magister finds a certain...pleasure, when it comes to manipulating others. Like a puppet master she will weave people around her nimble little finger, bending a topic or even the control of a situation as she wills it.
And if things dosen`t go as the Magister wants...well, then there is little time to run. Like her siblings, and her ancestors in the Scarlet family, Atia was introduced to blood magic at a very early age. And while she would never risk using it publicly, she displays little hesitation when it comes to using it behind the closed doors. But it is rare that blood magic is needed; usually it only takes a single spell, before the powerful magister has gotten rid of the "problems". She may have the appearance of her mother, but she has the potential to one day surpass her father in power.
But what does spark such a hunger for control and power? What causes a woman, who`s wealth is unmatched in Tevinter? A strong family bond..
To say that Atia likes her family, would be like comparing night and day. Her family is, in secret, the driving force behind her actions and personality. She has always been very close to them, especially her father and younger brother, but since the death of her husband, they have been the center of her world. Her thoughts are mostly on them, and she will often bring them up in conversations, should it become too boring or uncomfortable.
HISTORY
Having been awaited ever since the announcement, Atia`s birth was far from subtle. In fact, it became the topic of choice for most of the noble wives in the following months; "Isen`t she a cutie?", "She`s gonna be so pretty when she grows up..", "You know, I have a son not far from her age...". This attention set the frame for Atia`s childhood. If the "cutie" wanted something, she would get it; A new dress, that expensive pair of shoes, and so on. Whatever the "gem" wished, was her parents will.
By the age of seven, as expected, the young girl came into power. By law she was to study in the circle, but due to the high status of her family, she was allowed to live at home. But even with this privilege, the spoiled girl disliked the thought of not spending her time at home; after all, how would mother take her to buy a new necklace, if she was stuck in the tower studying?
But eventually Atia grew fond of the circle, even making a bit of friends among the other mages. She began to appreciate said friendships, and the teachings of both the senior enchanters and her parents, slowly, but surely, transformed the spoiled girl, into a proper young lady.
This change didn't go by unnoticed, and not long after turning 13, the first marriage proposals started to appear. It was mostly from the lower-set families, which hoped to obtain the favor of the Archon, by getting a member of his family into theirs. Among the suitors, was a long-time friend of the family; A magister named Darmus. He was a wealthy and powerful man, who had lost his first wife at a very young age due to illness.
Having the unnecessary qualifications, and the trust of her father, Darmus's proposal was accepted quickly. In the following winter, the 50 year old Darmus married the barely 14 year old Atia. The young girl was against the marriage, but that protest was kept to herself; the marriage would bind together two powerful families, and it was not her place to question the decision of her father.
While rebellious at first, the young bride quickly grew fond of her husband. He turned out to be a warm and kind-hearted man, as much as the position of a magister allowed. Never once did he raise his hand towards her, and he treated her like a woman instead of a child, taking her out to many fancy parties and events. And between the social gatherings and training as an enchanter, Atia began to mature, not only in body, but also mind; She would arrange the large parties, make sure that the estate was in proper condition, and so on.
And it was among the many parties and meetings, that Atia began to form a strange friendship; it wasen't with the other mages, or even the high-standings merchants of Tevinter...no, it was with the elves, working at the estate of her husband. In private she allowed them to call her by first name, and she grew especially attached to a maid named Rose, an elderly slave from Orlais.
Years went by, and soon Atia was a blooming young woman; a sight to be watched, heard and overall enjoyed. She was a shining example of the scarlet family's reputation, except for one factor...She would soon be 24, yet there was no sign of any children. Darmus had, through their many years together, never attempted to lay his hands on Atia in any way; He had been born sterile, and did not wish to pluck the fruit of his younger bride, well-knowing that no heir could be produced. The news of this shock Atia's family, but before any decisions could be made, tragedy struck..
