"It is my duty to achieve greatness, and I will not fail."

Kjerstin was born a noblewoman, the only daughter in her lineage, heir to the powerful house Grey.

Let's back up a bit though. House Inglewood is one of the 5 houses that only answer to the king, they each have their own retainers and loyal bannermen. The kingdom is divided in 6 provinces, each of the high houses ruling one of them, while the last, and largest is ruled directly by the royal family from the capital, Stormshield. Of course each of the Houses have their own residence within their providence. There is some scheming and plotting, but ordinarily any dispute is solved with a skirmish, a more or less honorable battle between small elite forces in which it is frowned upon to kill your opponents while they're down. One of those skirmishes claimed the life of Kjerstin's father in a dispute about the profits from a newly discovered profitable mine which runs under a mountain in the far reaches of the provinces, the border running close enough to warrant a skirmish to settle the argument. During battle her father ended up dueling the champion of the rival house, a younger and stronger man. There was some lament about her fathers death, as it had been some years since the head of one of the great houses had actually fallen in a skirmish without being given the option to surrender. Some claim it was was her fathers own fault for being clumsy and seeking the duel in the first place, for not surrendering when he had the chance, or taking part in the battle in the first place, others said the more skilled fighter should have slowed down in his assault, giving Kjerstin's father the option to surrender honorably. With the Lord dead, it fell to Kjerstin's mother to rule in his stead.

Things were hard for House Grey after Kjerstin's father had fallen, her mother had not been raised to lead and while she had capable advisors and people to help her govern their province, it wasn't easy. With Kjerstin being only 3 years old when her father died and the only child and heir, she was always well guarded and cared for, it wasn't easy growing up like this. She had the best teachers the house could afford, and is prepared to take over for her mother when the time comes. That said, she is not perfect, not by a long stretch, with all the responsibility on her shoulders, she tends to act a little haughty, and while she does respect the servants and regular people to a degree, she knows that her own life is more important, more valuable, she was going to be in charge of an entire province.

Of course she does need to relieve stress every now and then, and while she is a capable swordfighter, she tends to retreat to her chambers with one or more of her maids, who do tend to come out rather worn out and sore, they keep their mouths shut, but rumors say that Kjerstin's gender is not exactly normal, those close to her know that she has both, but tends to prefer the company of women, although she did have a few encounters with some of the male servants. But it's not only servants she tends to hang out with, her negotiations with other nobles can sometimes move into her chambers and rumor has it that there's more than one bastard child around. Which are usually given to a craftsman in service to the crown, educated, but not recognized and without any claims to the seat of House Grey.

[A secret?][Close Secret]

Now there is something else to know about nobles such as Kjerstin and House Grey, the royal family and some other nobles. An explanation as to why they are in power and what makes them so damn good at keeping it, why their lives last longer than any ordinary human, something which has been attributed to noble blood ever since the foundation of the six provinces, ending the old days of smaller kingdoms.

They’re dragons.

Tired of being hunted and eradicated the six largest and most cunning dragons of the time decided to end it all, there had been rumours about them but nobody had ever survived an encounter with them, no human at any rate, it wouldn’t raise too many questions if they were never seen again. So they gathered and with the (unwilling) assistance of the most powerful mages they could find, they took human forms. Young cunning leaders the lot of them, the strongest and most powerful became the father/mother of the royal family, the others making up the 5 high Houses, there were some smaller, less powerful dragons, some of their mates and closest friends. It was possible for them to change back into dragons at will, but the process was unpleasant and fairly dangerous, and of course would give away their true nature and as such, forbidden. They do not change their form, never, not even under threat, for the other dragons would come to hunt them down and eradicate their entire family. Of course the bloodlines have watered down over the centuries, some of the dragons did actually mate with humans and when doing so in their human form, their offspring were ordinary humans, long lived, stronger, hero material. Only a few noble families in this age are still pure and fully fledged dragons, the royal family, the Great Houses. Of course the bloodlines have weakened due to interbreeding with the few remaining available partners, which is why they sometimes venture out into the wild to find a wild, untamed dragon, which are rare, and not nearly as powerful as the dragons of old, but bring fresh blood into the gene pool. Kjerstin’s father had done so, after many failed attempts to create offspring with her mother, her mother accepted this with dignity, realizing that she probably hadn’t been fertile, knowing that fresh blood was necessary. It made Kjerstin special, stronger, cleverer and more cunning that many past generations, and over the years her mother grew proud of her, accepting her after as her own. Being a dragon does come with a number of other benefits, such as a better sense of smell, better sight, strength and being almost impervious to magic.
