Biography: Born within nobility Eloise immediately had certain responsibilities on her shoulders. Poise and elegance were expected from the young lady and while Eloise was a good student and a fast learner her heart yearned for everything but embroidery- and dance lessons.
As the winds of Storms End continued to blow at her, carrying whispers of far away with them, Eloise started to dream of places outside of the castle. Eloise didn't always understand the whispers, but found that they often spoke of the future. It was an exciting prospective, until she learnt at a tender age that the future wasn't all excitement and weather forecast. When the winds carried the tale of her brother's accident the girl had trashed and cried, but found herself ultimately unable to prevent the event from taking away the sight of her beloved brother. She was only two back then, unable to communicate efficiently and unable to understand, but the memory lingered as everlasting guilt.
The true turning point in understanding the tragic downside of her powers came later. When Eloise was ten her brother Arley married. It was an arranged marriage, but despite the politics involved the two of them had loved each other in a way that made Eloise jealous. She had been, after all, always been the object of her brother's affection. Challenging the new lady Baratheon the young stag was unwilling to give up her brother so easily, but did not realise how little time she had with her sister in law until a dream whispered to her the worst possible outcome.
Guilt stricken the girl did not know how to deliver the message and when her brother and his wife announced the pregnancy Eloise gripped her heart and prayed everyday. She hoped that fate could be changed and picked up on studies for delivery. Eloise's attitude towards his brother's wife changed into a caring and sweet one, ready to do anything for her sister-in-law if it eased her pregnancy. None of it changed the outcome, however. Her beloved brother lost both his wife and his child within a single day, like the winds had predicted to her. The maiden never stopped blaming herself for the loss.
Somehow, despite keeping such away from her, Eloise learned of politics abroad and of the lives she wasn't part of. Somehow knowledge poured within her while her tutors barred her from the books. Part of it was her own slyness, sneaking into the chamber of the maester to read and interacting with the servants while the wind continued to blow in her ears. The young lady became a learned lady, quickly popping herself to be a talent that couldn't be wasted.
Giving into the insatiable curiosity of the female the Baratheons arranged for Eloise tutors all around, which brought her into contact with the Lannisters and especially Kaylee Lannister. There she was encouraged to continue her studies of magic in Essos, where she headed to at the age of 16.
Or so she planned.
An accident, an ambush, the betrayal of the lion. Eloise isn't sure what happened, but she remembers the sigil of the Lannister house paying handsomely to get her out of the way. An act that would have her disappear from the stage for three years before she finally returned, calloused by her experience and wishing for nothing more than justice and the truth.
