Lysandra Doharis comes from a fairly wealthy noble family. Algernon Doharis II, Lysandra's father, is a count of a small county, and was awarded his title by virtue of military services in honor of the Empire of Man. Lysandra's mother, Venna Almonio Doharis hails from the Almonio noble family, is a notable scholar and alchemist, specializing in medical alchemy. Lysandra has three brothers, Algernon III, Geoffrey, and Percival, all knights, though Percival has been newly knighted and has not yet seen true battle. Lysandra has been obsessed with learning from a very young age, being able to speak four languages, and able to read six, at the age of 18. In addition to her obsession with reading, she has been trying to follow her brother's and father's footsteps into knighthood. She takes after her mother, more than her father, and is a bit on the short side at 5 foot, 4 inches, so wearing the heavy plate armor was a challenge at first. She did, however, take to the sword and bow quickly. When news reached her home county of opportunities for colonization across the new world, her father urged her to travel there, and make a name for the Doharis family spanning continents.
Upon reaching Southbridge, she secured a home for herself, and hired people to mine for her, and traded around to secure a financial base for herself. She was Knighted, for her efforts in supplying the town with supplies, and founded the First Imperial Bank of Southbridge, and acts as the Treasurer of Southbridge, managing supplies, stores, trade and real estate.
Abilities and Flaws
Lysandra is trained by knights in the art of the sword and bow, and is a skilled linguist, trader, and records-keeper. She has extensive knowledge about the world, especially pertaining to the natural world, and history.
However, Lysandra is a bit short and relatively frail for a knight, so she is less formidable in a melee fight. She is also a bit greedy and powerthirsty, mostly due to having her father as a role model. She knows little about agriculture and gardening, beyond the basics.
