Livessa is the older daughter of Sir Erek Ivounel and Lady Amera, Sister to Sir Baldwin Ivounel. A noblewoman of the house Lenouvi she grew up as being outcasted with the others in the so called bastard branch. Livessa grew up watching her brother struggle proving his duty to his kingdom.
She was born as the middle child to the respectable family of Ivounel, and brought up with the same high standards that her brother had. Though she was never a child to simply take her place in the world. Livessa was a wild-child and she would often slink after her brother tracking him everywhere, there was nowhere he could go without her following.
Livessa was never the lady her parents wished her to be, she was never accepting her place as a woman. She would often sneak off and ride her brothers horses through the countryside, when she could not follow her brother she would sneak off to the tavern and watch the games the men would do to earn money. This Gambling was an addiction of the highest sorts, and when she became of age she would be playing, and collecting coin. It was no place for a Lady, it was no place for a Ivounel, and somehow she hid it from her parents.
Lady Amera had her daughter schooled, and cultivated her skill at painting. oh yes, Livessa could paint, it was one thing she could sit still and just do, without the distraction of cards and coins. She became well known for her paintings and was even asked on her sixteenth birthday to do a portrait by one of the high noble families .. this was a great honor for her family and they were all very eager to see if other nobles would follow.
There was no time really for other nobles to follow however, When Baldwin returned from his training he knew something had changed in his sister, instead of tracking him she would slip away. One night he followed her and he thought it would be a fun game, this time he would be tracking her instead of the other way around! But when he found his sister carousing and gambling he grew furious and snatched her away from the tavern, Vowing never to allow her out of his sights again.
Of course he was now a Knight, and could not always watch her .. now could he.
Recently she has wedded Argon Brais and has taken the surname Brais. Some would say the young woman has finally settled down. The pair are said to be trying for an heir .. just what the kingdom needs.
