Cecilia of Remiscua

cecilia is the youngest of five sisters. clairissa is crown princess, cordelia is a high ranking priestess, calantha and cyrilla are both married off to nobles of the southern countries, and cecilia is... well, nothing, on paper, and it's quite the point of contention between the five. each of her older sisters has a plan for her future, and none are quite right. it's not as if her parents find her much of a bother, anyway - her mother, queen clairissa, who could be described as concerned for her children at best and controlling, overbearing, and smothering at worst, would be positively heartbroken if all of her children left home, and she is the absolute light of her father, king augustin's, life.

PAST

a clever and precocious child, cece accompanied her elder siblings, calantha and sebastién, to schooling in seroterra at an earlier age than most. she quickly realized her tutors, often nobility themselves, would say rather important and confidential things in front of polite, silent children, and she honed her information gathering skills with each conversation had in her presence. by the time she returned to court, then but 16, it was easy for her to leverage her knowledge and skill sets to cement her place at court as more than just one of the baby of the royal line.

PRESENT

now the master of a relatively informal ring of spies, cece has an ear to every wall of her court and blackmail material on every noble in remiscua - if only to keep her own secrets under wraps. she's no aspiration for the throne, more interested in the minutiae of the nobility than the overarching machinations of an entire country, but she's got her future estate's vineyards planted and the house half-built. she'll move when her sister is queen.
