| 1 | + | Marrione Aligné, the third child of the Duke and Dutchess Aligné, has never known extreme | |
| 2 | + | hardship nor extreme glory. A lower noble house, the Aligné lineage has always concerned | |
| 3 | + | itself with local affairs more than grand politicking. While this has protected the house | |
| 4 | + | from any major misfortune, it has also resulted in little political favor or sway in | |
| 5 | + | higher courts. From a young age, Marrione spent their time enjoying the privileges of a | |
| 6 | + | noble life. They studied fencing, learned ettiquette and discourse, and spent many | |
| 7 | + | afternoons and evenings in their family manor's library reading for leisure -- a rare | |
| 8 | + | luxury in the largely agrarian semi-feudal society surrounding them. At some point, she | |
| 9 | + | discovered a deep love for the theater, reading stageplays in the library and taking any | |
| 10 | + | possible chance to watch a performance put on by a traveling troupe that may come through | |
| 11 | + | the capital of her family's duchy, the city of Havre sur Mer (full title: 'Havre sur la Mer | |
| 12 | + | Celeste'; translated: 'Harbor on the Celestial Sea'; short: 'Havre', 'Celeste', | |
| 13 | + | 'Havre-Celeste'). Havre-Celeste, despite being a fairly well-appointed city with any of | |
| 14 | + | the finer amenities a noble might desire, is still very much a city in an agrarian region, | |
| 15 | + | and lacks much in the way of artistic venues. Now an adult, Marrione desires to change | |
| 16 | + | this lackluster facet of his home, and build a new legacy that might grow to overshadow | |
| 17 | + | that of his own noble lineage by building out a theater and theater troupe for which he | |
| 18 | + | can produce (and watch) plays to his heart's delight. In order to do so, and knowing that | |
| 19 | + | they have experienced very little of the world, Marrione has decided to set out into the | |
| 20 | + | wider world(s) to gain a deeper understanding of life, tragedy, romance, comedy, and most | |
| 21 | + | importantly -- drama. | |
