Background

Halmir has followed in his fathers footsteps and married a northern girl, Red Dorien.

Red hair is rare enough that Dorien's flaming plaits have awarded her the obvious nickname. Fortunately, she doesn't really have the temper to match, but she does have the expected freckles (not too many, fortunately) and blue eyes. A bright and attractive girl, 18 years old, she was raised sensibly enough until a plague, when all of her siblings died. Her parents, broken-hearted, proceeded to spoil their remaining child. Before this, it had been intended that Dorien should study to be a bard when she was old enough (she has musical talent), but after the death of the other children, she was no longer made to work hard at it. Her new husband's extreme love for her and her father-in-law's affection have completed the process, and now Dorien expects everything to go her way. She never resorts to tantrums, having learned that honey catches more flies than vinegar does. She is still very clever and interested in the world, as well as wilful and hard to control.
