The Lionheart

❝ The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. ❞

Imre is Claramond's cousin, on his mother's side. Their mothers were twins, and when Imre's mother passed away, leaving her — just a baby — in the hands of a rough Lord with little interest in rearing a daughter, her Aunt Ysbail took her into Tyrnas Eira and raised her alongside her cousin, Claramond. If her skill as a leader, bowman and/or brilliant strategist is ever in question, Imre is quick to remind the entire room that she was key to the successful campaign against the False King of Ernhed at the age of just twelve and a half years old. [She has the Pretender's small and still-ringed finger encased in her chambres to prove it... . As well as a doting cousin who won't let anyone forget the victory won on the backs of them both — mere children at the time.] And countless more victories since. However, it's her King's dearest wish to see her settle down and marry, ideally, Claramond — but recently, and perhaps because his health is failing, Sulyen remarks that any Highborn will do. Imre has other ideas. First and foremost, she wishes to find her father, who has not been seen at court since the passing of his wife eighteen years ago. For all Imre knows, he could be dead. She can only hope that he is well enough to witness his own daughter spit at his wretched feet.

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐓 ⋅∘⋅ Fierce & Protective
𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 ⋅∘⋅ Imre can spare no time for emotional reflections or thoughts of marriage (much) - she thinks day and night of the future of the Kingdom, and about protecting the people she loves and those who have been entrusted to her. If Salmar is to thrive, it must embrace enlightenment, peace, and tolerance - and only Claramond can ensure that. Her dear cousin may underestimate the forces that plot against him - Pruina, Faramond, and the Council of Lords - and what it will take to defeat them. There will be blood, and Imre will be ready. Once the Kingdom is safe… perhaps she can think about her personal happiness.
Loyal, steadfast, cunning, relentless, bold, grim, clever, broody, liberal, passionate, pragmatic. Rarely shows her softer side. Dead-set on what she perceives as her vocation, forgets to have fun sometimes.

𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐌𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ Intentional, focused, precise. Technical, but forceful.
𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ Since her victory over the Pretender, Imre has held the honorary title of Army General, and so she has always had the run of the barracks & taken a serious interest in the protection of the Kingdom. Aside from her management of Kaerten Castle, she’s taken on the training of recruits, inspecting the army, quarrelling with General Kitan about tactics and ‘sticking her nose in his business’. She’s also often found training herself; archery, riding, and melee. (This may involve Myka.) In secret and unbeknowest to anyone, Imre is also busy rallying support for Claramond across the Kingdom, so that when a civil war breaks out, there may be armies and uprisings to support him.

𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ Sharp, cold air, a swift stroke, an enemy defeated. A warm fireside, lounging in soft furs, starry nights, reindeer, birdsong, honey-glazed candy, shooting arrows.
𝐀𝐁𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ Nightmares about future wars, the thought of Sulyen’s funeral, feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders, the thought of a political marriage and a life of inconsequence.

𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ To ensure that, when the dust settles, Claramond has the throne, so that he may rule wisely in the custom of his father, and restore peace, wealth, and health to the realm and its people. To lead Clara’s army. To find her wretched father and pry Kaerte from his unworthy hands. To wed Myka, one day.
𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ That Pruina and the Lords may prove too powerful, and Clara’s court will die in pain, and Salmar be plunged into the dark days of hedonism and mindless, greedy warfare once more. The day King Sulyen will succumb to his illnesses, because she loves him like a father. That his hopes of her marrying Claramond will be dashed, if he ever finds out about Myka, a common-born soldier, and that it may break his heart. That she’ll be far away on the day he dies & the Kingdom needs her the most.

𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ There are rumours that Imre’s prowess in battle is owed to the ‘witch powers’ of her mother, Queen Ysbail’s sister. But unlike Claramond or Ysbail, these rumours do not trouble her. She’s never paid much heed to those cruelly-wagging tongues, mostly because they make people fear and respect her - and that only plays into her cards. Other rumours, of her abilities and achievements in combat, might well be true...

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 ⋅∘⋅ Imre understands Magic as a powerful force that has damaged the Kingdom in the past, yet she knows that outlawing it will only stoke resistance, persecution, and danger from those who do not learn to wield it wisely. From her acquaintance with Clara’s ‘collectibles’, she knows it need not be feared. Although it remains unpredictable, she hopes Claramodn will find a way to coax it back to the light, and use its potential for the good of the people - that will demand proper understanding, learning, and regulation of it, though.

𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 ⋅∘⋅ Imre has grown up with the wild rumours around her mother and her aunt, but she knows they come from a place of ignorance and fear.

𝐖𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘(-𝐈𝐄𝐒) ⋅∘⋅ none.
