Lady Uniana Le'Gondren Nalfein is a prominent socialite and currently maintains partial citizenship in Ta'Vaalor.

Uniana was the only child of Lady Vlienive and Lord Chengric Le’Gondren. Her father a minor noble and aspiring vintner, her mother of an ancient noble house and a former courtesan. She is the cousin of Lysistrata, Lear and Vyctus Scio on her mother's side.

When she had come of age she was inducted to the Order of the Lily, a revered training house for the courtesan arts, though it was alleged to create operatives in all matters of the clandestine. When it was discovered that she had a latent aptitude for manipulating air currents she briefly was put into their elemancer program but her ability to pull and weave the flows of essence was sloppy and she seemed uninterested in attempting to apply herself to their rigorous research requirements. Even still, more recently she became something of a student of Lord Veythorne, prior to his reclusion, learning more about the theology of air as well as the physical properties of the element.

After graduating from the Order of the Lily, she spent several years entertaining and offering companionship to the upper echelons of the City-States society. Hearsay suggests that sometime around 5102 her frequent trips to the West were due to her supposed involvement with the Dark Alliance and that she was perhaps intimately connected to the Painlord Eryael. It is rumored that at some point around 5106 Ta'Illistim put her on trial for her supposed crimes towards the City-State during the second Griffon Sword War. This could explain her complete disappearance from society and the gossip that she was serving as a lady's maid. At the end of summer 5121 she reappeared into society on retainer under the mysterious "H". This would be her last assignation and she retired from her Order before the end of the year.

She is presently engaged to Lord Teveriel Anduin Vaalor and using her passion of cartography and understanding of air currents to operate as the Chief Navigator of his fleet.


Appearance

You see Lady Uniana Le'Gondren Nalfein the Socialite.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is shorter than average. She appears to have come of age. She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin. She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets. She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows. Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.
She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is holding an alum-slated viridian silk fan in her right hand.
She is wearing a fanning necklet of cabochon emeralds and minute black pearls, a shoulder-gathered emerald satin chiton with a dramatic plunging neckline, an upward terminating faenor cincher of wrought thorn vines, a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring, and some soft ebon suede ankle-tied sandals beaded with oblong nephrites.


an alum-slated viridian silk fan
Intricately etched to mimic the curve, length, and texture of a rose vine, three of the fan's alum slats are imbedded with tiny malachite chips, while the remaining three are carved into a twisted thorn shape. Viridian marbrinus silk stretches between beautifully wrought slats and is painted with a blooming ebon rose, whose petals are appliqued with crushed velvet. A pair of malachite cabochons is set within the alum handle, which is fitted with an ebon-veined viridian silk wrist strap.


a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring
The signet is made of faenor in the design of an elven-style crest, divided in the imperial style. The background is composed of green jade with a single blood red spiral curling from the top to encompass a black rose. Set below the rose is a thistle of deep amethyst accented with hues of blood red, resting atop a black dagger. Flanked to the left side is a stalk of golden foxglove resting on an ebon wine goblet and to the left is a pure white lily with a blood red center.
