Adrienne Rosby

Appearance
Standing at five foot four, Adrienne is hardly one to strike an imposing figure. Her beauty, however, is unmistakeable. She seems a veritable vision of the Maiden, herself, with coppery hair - caught somewhere between brunette and auburn as the light strikes it - gilded, with honey-kissed highlights that frame delicate - yet firm - features when unruly strands inevitably escape their bindings. The blush of youth, and the undeniable gifts of womanhood are, to the chagrin of any man with eyes to see it, rarely clad in anything but the robes of her station, proclaiming her a devout servant of the Seven. Though those robes may conceal, they cannot but cling to curves not yet lost to old age - nor is she a doddering, scowling old woman as most expect of the images oft brought to mind: that of a Septa as ancient and wrinkled as the crone, herself. No, Adrienne presents a quick and easy smile, a light sprinkle of cinnamon-colored freckles, and eyes like melted chocolate dusted with gold that smile in tandem with flower-petal pink lips that are too oft tilted in mirth as she spreads the healing Light of the Seven.

Timeline
344 AC - Born to Lord Reynard Rosby and Lady Betha (Stokeworth) Rosby

353 AC* - Targaryen invasion at Duskendale. At 9 years of age, Adrienne's eldest brother is cut down trying to get her to safety. The young Adrienne finds safety and solace at the sept - devoting herself to the Seven in light of the trauma she has been witness to, and the passion of Septon Abelar during the crisis.

370 AC - Adrienne is summoned to King's Landing for the celebration, and a promotion to the Most Devout by the High Septon.

* Humoring his second of three daughters, the Lord Rosby allowed Adrienne to foster with the Faith under the condition that she still attend court and grow 'as a Lady should,' while learning with the Faith. What her father saw as a phase, or a child's fleeting fascination, Adrienne and Septon Abelar saw as a calling from the divine. Her quick mind, small stature, and nimble fingers were readily turned not only to learning the Seven Pointed Star, or learning the ins and outs of healing and tending to the wounded and infirm...but to practicing more subtle arts, in time. Her gentle - yet determined - manner, and quick wit put to test those at court, on the street, or even in the Sept to aid the Septon in currying favor, or ensuring that the Divine 'servants' and 'messengers' were properly placed in societies both high, and low. There is no urchin too low, and no Lord too lofty for the Seven's grace - nor for Adrienne's. For where the Divine goes, so too does she - and one never knows how the 'favor' of a hurt tended may be repaid, in time.

It was with some measure of chagrin that Lord Rosby eventually 'wed' his daughter not to a nobleman, but to the church, in time. While her father cannot quite comprehend his daughter's fanaticism, it is - at the very least - one less dowry to be bequeathed.
