Personality

Hera is outwardly resign and elegant. She always wears nice clothes that are not overly flashy but you can tell are beautifully and well made. She is not the star of the room but is not at the back of the pack either. Hera values a good brain and skills. She does not like show offs and can only marry to produce an heir with either high standing or rare or higher aspect. She is polite but at the same time can have an icy glare if offended. She's not about to look down on anyone but if you are rude in a shameful manner she may hit you with an icy blast. Hera's neutral face can be considered cold but soft like an icy spring. She's only willing to relax and smile on her own. While she may come off as intimidating she can lightly and politely laugh while talking to people. She is not about to be goofy though. She is a true lady and will not let her guard down.  

Backstory

Hera was born into a respectable family. Her mother and father are a lord and a lady with a good standing and fortune. From the very moment Hera hatched she was expected to be the heiress. She was taught all the things a lady would need to uphold the family honor. She got a good education with etiquette lessons and proper manner classes thrown in. Her infant years were spent in the home and not in a pod of browlets. Her father and mother saw to her education and guided her. Anything they could not teach her, she was taught by the finest teachers. 

While she was the heir she had an older stepbrother. Hera was not told why her older brother would not get the titles like she would. Only she was destined to everything and that always puzzled her. However, before knowing all this, Hera had a good relationship with her brother. Hera was a rather meek child when she was first born. While she did have a destructive tendency like all browlets her age, she was rather weak and so were her antics. Leon took it upon himself to guide his sister around. He was only a few years older but he was the ring leader none the less. Hera adored her older brother and followed him around. They did a lot of crazy antics that got them into trouble a few times. Her happiest times were when Leon would read her stories. Leon's illusion aspect allowed him to create images that delighted her. 

When the two were old enough they began classes. Leon had a less intense education. Hera was expected to know more and be more than her brother. It made her frustrated at her parents and teachers. She was constantly told she was the patriarch and not her brother. The patriarch must be well educated with form and grace. While she was the heiress she didn't want to be treated differently than her older brother. Hera would throw tantrums calling winds and snow flurries. This angered her parents. Her father who was the frost aspect holder gave her a compromise. If she could beat her father in an aspect duel than they would relax her studies. Hera tried to best her father but he was a frozen giant. The father she saw was cold and dark and she now saw him in another light. Hera lost many duels with her father. Eventually she gave up and let herself be submissive to her parent's teaching schedules. 

Since seeing her brother learning caused her stress, her parents decided to separate the two when learning. Hera still cared about her brother. He always knew how to make her smile, He was like the sun in her life. The two would still talk about things but Hera was starting to become more and more restrained in her behavior. Eventually she started to only talk about serious things. Leon would still get her to smile here and there but they were few and far between. Eventually she found out her brother was leaving to find his own way. She was rather upset but there was nothing she could do. Leon had made up his mind. There were also rumors going around about Leon being a bastard child. Hera wasn't sure if it was these rumors or his want to explore that made him finally want to leave.

Hera now attends social gatherings to mingle with others of her standing. Many of them high ranking or proud families with good aspects. Hera on the outside has all the charms in a lady. She is radiant and smart but also is talented in her winter-like aspects. There are not many who can compete with her. She still can't beat her father though. Hera is polite but can be rude and cold if needed. She is tactical so she will not blindly be rude if it will hurt her family name. Hera holds herself with grace with slow and calculated movements. On her own Hera is more likely to smile more vibrantly and brightly. She is still a wild spirit inside but is restrained in public. She is very careful about her appearance in public and wears nothing but the finest dresses and outfits. You will not catch her in casual wear very often.
