Artist: Unknown
Name: Na Eun Ginbo
Role / Social Status: Concubine, Noble - Future empress
Age / Race: 29, elf
Appearance: Standing 5’11 Na Eun grew to be tall even for a elven lady. Her family often describe Na Eun to be a ‘horseface’ and unsuitable to birth sons, for her long oval face and small hips, but despite the unflattering descriptions Na Eun can be described as a beauty in her own right. Fair skinned with no blemishes to be found, rosy lips and straight teeth she at least has it in herself to be decently pretty. Her thick long black hair and eyes to match do the rest for her appearance.
Being of a colder skin tone Na Eun often dresses herself in colder colours. Silver, blue and greens are often found in her wardrobe. Though all of them bright and vibrant, so that she doesn’t look too dull. Her hair she usually styles in the appropriate styles of an unmarried woman, down with the decoration of themed fresh flowers to match her dress and ornaments to go along with.
Biography: Filial piety. That was drummed into Na Eun since young. As the eldest daughter of the main family there was little room for the elf to misstep. Especially as the Ginbo house realised that there was no heir to follow up from the main house. As a small noble family that was disastrous as there was little growth to be found if the daughters weren’t married well. Especially Na Eun felt that pressure, as the eldest child she had to represent the hope her family carried.
Though knowing their place the Ginbo family groomed Na Eun as if she was to be the next empress, cultivating her in all subjects a wife was expected to be well-versed in, but also teaching her politics, so that she may be of use in a harsh world of men. Studious and diligent Na Eun picked up well in her lessons, but always found herself bored of her dull life of lessons and teachings. Na Eun longed for a simpler life, where she would have less obligations tied upon her.
These were all dreams, however. There was no way that Na Eun would be allowed to go into the life of a commoner. Ginbo wanted to climb and both she and her sister were expected to contribute. This meant that Na Eun had to endure her dull life and boring existence, turning her into a dull and muted character without much life in her. Accomplished as she was there was no genuinity and character inside of her, having groomed everything so carefully for her duty.
This changed when she turned 25. A crush on a guard, a first love, their talks... For four years Na Eun had to carefully hide her growing fondness over a particular person, a feeling that kept on growing until Na Eun knew that she could never carry out her filial duties. However, reality shook her once more when she and her sister were both sent to the palace, to woo the king, to finally fulfill their duty. To make matter worse she was even selected to become the prime wife of the emperor, the fiture empress, a sickening existence were she would be forever separated from what her heart longed for best. Finally Na Eun snapped, done with hiding, done with her dull life, done with everything forced upon her the elf has finally decided that she will for once fight and choose herself.
