Hera Thauri Yk'Harron

Hera, daughter to a demon father and a human mother, grew up in the demonic realms of her father. As a rather uncommon variant of half-demon with majorly human traits and inversely demonic power and abilities, she soon found that she was commonly underestimated or assumed to be mostly human. Around the age of 22 she grew close to a rather charming and decently wealthy lesser demon who eventually proposed to and wed her. The charm soon faded; he clearly viewed her as beautiful but lesser, and assumed he no longer had to serve his part of the love and care involved in a relationship. His seemingly inexplicable demise was ruled an accident.

Seeing how the well-planned murder of her foolish husband left her with lots of pity, wealth and the ability to be single again, she decided to invest in her looks and manners. With a careful mix of attractiveness, perceived frailness, the pity earned from so tragically weeping over past "loved ones". she found herself passing the age of hundred with four dead spouses and a local reputation of her beauty being cursed. Not a single one of them acknowledged her scheming nature or the extent of her abilities, and she hasn't given them much thoughts let alone any genuine tears since.

What she could not have expected was that the fifth person to perish at her side was a runaway prince who deemed the responsibility to rule a bit too much of a hassle. As the generation above fell to an untimely plague of actually natural origins some time later his trail was tracked down. Being now married and quite thoroughly dead, this now gave the currently 180 years old and rather surprised Hera a direct claim to the throne of Vaztarath - the Northeastern district of the demonic realm. She accepted. 

Experienced in social skills and Charisma she found herself rather suited for the task; she had a reasonable size of inherited wealth to back up the district's needs and knew to get the folks' hearts on her side. A hundred years later, She had rule of two more districts - Alliances turned to convergence, and a seemingly beautiful pair of monarchs turned to a tragic single rule in both occasions. In neither case she was considered suspect by the masses; the few who did were shunned as conspiracy theorists for it. Still, the previous small scale rumors of a curse turned ever so strong. Only the self-proclaimed brave would consider the thought of trying to win her heart. 

As a generational change in the fourth and final northern district of the realm gave the rule to a rather naive but mighty lord, she ended up in a third royal marriage - this time she was more than content to have it persist seeing as he seemed capable in offloading some of the heavy work, and she saw no need to push her influence much further. She wasn't attached to him much but wasn't opposed to securing some sort of future for the kingdom. Just in case. At the age of 449 a princess came to be, to be a successor in the future. A dozen and a half years later, the husband was found quite thoroughly murdered, at the princess' hands.

The kingdom prevailed despite this, the death was ruled an unavoidable accident by the powerful and dangerous nature of the offspring. Past this point however, Hera's hand has been considered an inescapable death sentence and she is very much aware that she's set to rule alone for the rest of her life. She also hosts regular parties at her castle as of the last several years - she usually ends up getting rather friendly and fun over the course of the evening, despite secretly keeping herself to non-intoxicating drinks. It's mostly just an excuse to act more naturally for her and does earn her some occasional romantic weekends. No one dares stay with her for longer and this is definitely for their best.
