The Virian Chronicler

Name: Lady Faria Ingrao Origin: Carpathian Carpathian temptress Lady Faria Ingrao is the eldest daughter of Lord Ignacio Ingrao.  Like her father, she is hedonistic and promiscuous.  She cares little for the family business and spends most of her time on leisure activities such as going on shopping sprees, attending nightclubs and entertaining lovers.  She is extremely selfish and loves being the centre of attention.  She gets a thrill out of shocking people and often behaves outrageously in public, like her father.  She cultivates a bold and daring appearance, often wearing skimpy revealing outfits.  She has a cruel streak and will turn nasty on someone if they don't accede to her wishes.

Name: Ford Ardglass Origin: Virian  Ford is the eldest of the three Ardglass brothers, who are the sons of Emmett and Ardleigh Ardglass.  Ford and his two brothers are cousins to Vanlose, Sam and Maurey Ardglass.  He is extrovert and rather vain, believing himself to be attractive and desirable.  He enjoys heavy drinking sessions and flirting with young women.  His sense of humour is rather crude and he is fond of making sexual innuendoes.  Although not an overtly bad person, his company is an acquired taste and he can become annoying.    

Name: Avareen Fermanagh Origin: Virian  Avareen Fermanagh comes from a Virian farming community. She has eight siblings. She is mostly cheerful but can be prone to melancholic moods at times. She worked on her family's farm until her crystal bond was discovered by a visiting priest. She then went to study at the Temple of Scherza in Shintillah, Southern Viria. She found Temple life difficult. Through her attendance at Lord Lyandro (Lyle) Menehari's drama classes, she met his youngest grandson, Lord Sylvio (Syl) Menehari-Cesario. They became friends and Syl ended up recruiting her into the Carpathian Alliance. She studied at the Donovan Institute and trained as an operative. She initially resisted her arranged marriage to her elderly tutor Caratacuus Helvellyan but soon realised it was a better option than marrying a farmer chosen by her parents.
