Malena Lascelles: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

== Personality ==

~~(WIP)~~

While in the past Malena was quite friendly, she was also quite naive. Loss after loss, betrayal after betrayal, she became a hardened version of herself- and her soft edges began to harden. Despite her small and frail appearance, anyone who has been around for a while knows not to cross her- lest they be pelted by the bullets of her revolver. While she would never intentionally do anything to harm the Kingdom, she is not against using her position to lock people out of climbing the ladder of power.

Despite this, Malena holds a ''fierce'' loyalty to the Throne and the Kingdom. Her commitment is well known, though people tend to not realize she would do ''anything'' she is told by those above her- even if the order is to slaughter someone she loves.

Her edges are not all rough however, as anyone who has seen her in the presence of her multitudes of pets knows of her soft side. She holds love, just not much of it- and especially not for those who simply exist to waste her time. However, it's not uncommon for her to offer information and answers to those brave enough to ask.

=== Duchy of Stendahl ===

----

For many years Malena lived as a dwarf within Stendahl, with her grandfather Corellian Towerlord and her mother Avalencia Towerlord. While much of her time was spent kicking up trouble with the authorities, she often attempted to make friends with whoever she could. She worked in the wheat fields of her home, and occasionally assisted in the administration and running of her family's domain- the Lonely Fields. Despite this, she never held any official job title during her time in Stendahl.

=== Kingdom of Stone Bay ===

Eventually the persuasions of Moder Jord became more demented, and she was compelled to kill her grandfather ''(Corellian Towerlord)'' while he was in a magically-induced coma. Though she resisted the demand, she ~~admitted to~~ her mother of the ~~demand~~. After her grandfather awoke, she was disowned by her family. During this time, Malena joined the [[Church of the Deep]].

Though she resisted the demand, she informed her mother of the situation. After her grandfather awoke, she was disowned by her family. During this time, Malena joined the [[Church of the Deep]].

During her work as a page, her duties had become more than simple tasks, evolving into submitting reports of those whom she interacted with, some being 40 pages long. This caught the attention of Benjamin Lascelles, who was acting [[Prime Minister of Stone Bay]]. After her disownment, she went to the one place that had never lied or betrayed her- the Kingdom of Stone Bay. She reached out to Benjamin, who comforted her- eventually offering adoption, and entrance into his family. She took the opportunity, and became Malena Lascelles.

Her work evolved even more after the adoption, with her reports becoming weekly- and her general workload ~~increased~~.

==== The Seige of the Ehrtfort ====

=== The Seige of the Ehrtfort ===

----

As tensions arose between the Colony of the [[Ehrtfort]] and the rest of the Kingdom of Stone Bay, Malena quite often found herself tied up with diplomatic work between the Kingdom and the Colony. While gathering information on the Colony was a key aspect of her duties, she also found herself delivering a gun to the [[High Inquisitor]] on behalf of the Kingdom. This eventually led to her bringing the people of Stendahl to the Colony's land- which resulted in the death of Umeriad Stonebraid, an important religious figure in Stendahl at the time. It was shortly after this incident that Shasta Fablemaster ''(then known as Shasta Lascelles)'' was disowned from the Lascelles Family. It was around this time that Malena's health took a sharp decline.

Eventually the [[Nieseatian War]] began it's end, and Benjamin Lascelles was killed by the necromancer [[Metinos]] in the middle of the multi-day [[Seige of the Ehrtfort]]. In the same battle, Malena was also killed by Metinos, where a small part of her soul was taken by the Necromancer- which eventually made her health decline further. Though unlike her father, she awoke due to [[The Curse]] within the Ehrtfort itself. After a ceasefire was called by [[Bridget Maldore]], Malena was granted safe passage from the Ehrtfort to her own people.

After a ceasefire was called by [[Bridget Maldore]], Malena was granted safe passage from the people of Nieseat to her own side.

Mere hours after being informed of her father's death, Malena was obliged to act immediately in her father's stead as [[Lord Chamberlain of Stone Bay]], speaking during the sitting of the [[Court of the Prismarine Throne]] where 10 individuals were selected to infiltrate the [[Arcane Battery]] within the Ehrtfort and kill [[Macadier Maldore]].

~~==== Beginnings of the Chamberlain ====~~

=== Beginnings of the Chamberlain ===

----

After Macadier Maldore was killed and the Colony of Nieseat fell, Malena became quite close with [[Dylan Malahide|Baron Dylan Malahide]]. Simultaneously, Malena had become quite overwhelmed with her new responsibilties of being a Baroness of Stone Bay ''(which gave her the title of "Lord Chamberlain")'', and eventually gave up her lordship in exchange for being knighted into [[The Most Noble Order of the Bay]]. After this, she married Dylan Malahide and became Malena Malahide.

Much of Malena's life after returning to the name of Malena Lascelles became quite standard, with much of her time being spent confined to her office and home of the Citadel.

==== The 14th Prime Minister ====

=== The 14th Prime Minister ===

----

As time passed, Malena eventually strived to return to her roots of being within [[The Parliament of Orlan]]. Starting off as a [[Magistrate]], Malena found herself as the Home Minister under the 13th Prime Minister of Stone Bay, [[Ghaunt Blazeborn]]. During this time, she presented 11 bills, 7 of which passed into law.

Line 88:

After working tirelessly within the Parliament for three terms, Malena found herself exhausted and burnt out- despite her successes. After deciding to not run for a third term as Prime Minister, she refocused on her work as Lord Chamberlain. Though, during the term of the 16th Prime Minister, Malena sat as the Speaker of the House for a short time before the Parliamentary Session was unexpectedly dissolved at the request of the Prime Minister.

==== The Lord Chamberlain of Stone Bay ====

=== The Lord Chamberlain of Stone Bay ===

----

During her time within the Parliament, Malena had become quite close to [[Hazel Firwen]], who had taken back their position as [[Lord Mayor of the City of Stone Bay|Lord Mayor]]. The two had slowly grown from neighbors, to friends, to partners. Though they would never legally marry, a wedding ceremony and reception would be held- where the two would exchange their vows infront of their closest friends and family.

In the ~~current~~ day, Malena ~~has worked tirelessly on~~ the ~~creation~~ of the Kingdom's ~~current governmental system~~. ~~She is often visited by~~ her ~~''"wife"'' [[Hazel Firwen]]~~, ~~whom~~ she ~~has developed a deep bond to after Hazel's return to~~ the City~~. Presently~~, ~~she is often found working hard in her office~~ in the ~~Citadel- trying to piece together an entirely new government~~.

In the present day, Malena is often found within the Citadel, sitting at her office desk. Her days consist of writing laws and working towards finalizing the Kingdom's newest iteration of government. Though on her occasional breaks, she can be found walking laps around the City, or watching sparring sessions in the James Barker Arena.
