Age: 43
Birthday: m6 d24
Rank: Holder's Wife
Location: Leeward Lagoon Hold
Face Claim: Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy

Physical Description of Persona:
Outwardly, Veslera is the picture of what a man looks for in a woman of rank. She is just above average height, with a perfectly curvy silhouette in her bust and hips, while her waistline has remained trim and lean, even through giving birth to children. High cheekbones and a sharp jawline give her an imperious appearance, especially when her long blonde hair is pulled back in a severe bun. Only her husband, in the comfort of their own quarters, sees the softer side of her, with her hair down around her face. Veslera's eyes are a striking blue-green, and her mouth is full and voluptuous.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Veslera was raised and trained to be a lady. She is the epitome of prim and proper and never violates social etiquette. This makes her come across a little stiff, especially to those who don't know her personally, but when she is in the comfortable spaces of her families quarters, Veslera is a warm mother and an affectionate spouse. As a mother, Veslera takes the responsibility of protecting her children and making sure they are successful in their lives very seriously. She would do _anything_ and sacrifice _anyone_ for her children.

History of Persona:
Veslera was born to a wealthy trading hold that mainly concentrated on the mining and exportation of precious gems and metals. They were also very lucrative in the production of lumber for shipyards from their countless acres of trees. Veslera was trained by her mother in the arts of being a lady and running a household. By sixteen, Veslera could embroider, paint, sing, and dance, all the things a future Lady would need to know. At fifteen Veslera was told that she was being promised to Tomen of Leeward Lagon. He was significantly older than Veslera, by fourteen Turns, but she had long ago accepted that her husband would most likely not be someone her age. She and Tomen met a few times in the Turn leading up to their marriage, but for all intents and purposes, they were mostly strangers when they married on Veslera's sixteenth birthingday.

Saying goodbye to her life at Ridgeline Peak, Veslera moved to Leeward Lagoon and set about making the best of her new life. At seventeen she and Tomen had their first child, a son to her relief, and after that, the children just kept coming. Veslera was very fertile and she and Tomen made use of that to secure themselves a large family.

The one major bump in their marriage and family life, however, is Tomen's oldest son by his first wife, Tomendre. Veslera was sixteen when she married Tomen, only six Turns older than Tomendre. She was not ready for a ten Turn old child at such an age, and she's never probably bonded with him. Instead, she looks at him and only sees the woman that came before her. Veslera's constant worry is that Tomendre will be named as heir to Leeward Lagoon when she feels strongly that her eldest son, Toveran, should be the rightful inheritor of his father's estate.
