Lawful ⬥ Practical ⬥ Considerate ⬥ Honorable
Clara Aspenwood is the head of the House Aspenwood, and holds the family's seat on the Council of Nobles, which she has held for the past thirty years. She is known for her practical nature, and her children inherited her classic Aspenwood profile. Some inherited her lack of expressiveness, which is often seen as a sign that she is ice cold. Despite the appearance, Clara has always behaved with the utmost propriety, and clearly believes strongly in the concept of noblesse oblige. She is not a tall woman, but those who meet her seem to always remember her as towering over them, and her light blonde hair may be liberally salted with gray and white, but it's not particularly obvious. The impression most people come away with is that this woman might very well have never done anything wrong in her entire life.
Character written by both Luridel and Athena.
Relationships
| William Aspenwood Husband. He married into the House, surrendering his claim to his original title. She accepted his proposal because she felt he would be a good partner. Over time, she came to love him, and although often not obvious to those unfamiliar with the Aspenwood's lack of expressiveness, she clearly views him as her equal in all things. |
| Amadeus Aspenwood First Son. They have always been close. |
| Bertrand Aspenwood Second Son. She was often busy after his birth, but she clearly gave him as much affection as she could show. |
| Cressidha Aspenwood First Daughter, Third Child. Cressidha began her journey with tailoring after Clara lost most of her old gowns in the fall of Stormwind. They have had a strong connection as Clara raised Cressidha to be able to and ready to be an independent minded woman in a world that would try to cut her down. |
| Colson Aspenwood Third Son, Fourth Child. Clara passed along her particular stoicism most obviously in her fourth born, and they have nearly identical smiles. The gentlest of her sons, Clara has always been as warm as she can be to him. |
| Mordecai Aspenwood Colson's husband. He is quiet, but anyone can see he makes Colson happier than he's been in years. He's family. |
| Avrenne Esprit When the duchess arrived in Stormwind as a refugee, suddenly bearing the weight of her entire House unexpectedly, Clara felt an all too familiar sense of kinship of her own past. She took the younger woman under her wing, and did what she could to establish the duchess into Stormwind society. Not quite friends, they are close enough to it that it seems to fit. There is respect and a sense of mentor/mentee even now. |
