IaniName Pronounced: EE-Ah-Nee Appearance: Iani is very tall compared to most. She stands 6’2” and is a very solid woman. Her wide hips were obviously an advantage in birthing such large sons. She keeps her long russet hair tied behind her in a single thick braid, usually twisted up into a bun. Her face is creased with lines around her eyes and mouth from the turns of being a mother. Though well into her fifties, Iani has aged a bit more gracefully then most and still carries an air of mature beauty about herself. Personality: Iani is an encouraging mother. She was always supporting her sons’ early curiosities with how things work and is now proudly watching them have families of their own. As kind as she may seem, Iani doesn’t tolerate disobedience in the least bit. Her strictness comes out when punishing children for their misdeeds. Staying in the corner for a candlemark meant a candlemark and not a second less. She now tries to be of help to Farah who is in much the same situation as she was herself, being promised to a man for marriage. History: Born in Startol, Iani was the second cousin of the Lady Holder. Her marriage was arranged and luckily for her, she did fall for her betrothed, Simah. Living in Verd Hold she became a mother at a young age to a son, Haine. A few turns Iani had two more sons; Samhain and Samel. She tends to be the understanding one with her boys but after turns of mischief and exploring she’s learned to notice the signs of trouble brewing. She busies herself as a doting grandmother but Iani looks forward to the day Samhain brings her new grandchildren.
