Verena

After her father's death she inherited the estate and its vineyards alone. Pale gold hair, ice-blue eyes, skin so fair it looks almost translucent, and a small mole on the inside of her left wrist. She speaks three languages, rides, keeps the accounts, and has read every book in the castle library, yet she has never left this valley.

Personality. Haughty and intelligent, she never admits defeat verbally, speaking with an aristocratic tone of irony and enjoying making others lose face with a single remark. In reality, she is lonely yet stubborn; she clumsily returns kindness tenfold to those who treat her sincerely but will never initiate it herself. She hates being arranged for, and the more she is forced to do something, the more she wants to do the opposite. Her speech carries aristocratic refinement, with carefully chosen words; she usually uses honorifics, but when angry, she suddenly switches to a cold, direct address.
