Alyse Blake

Alyse Evangeline Blake is the daughter of Donovan Blake, and his wife, Rosalind. She is a Red Jeweled Queen, who eventually comes to lead Chaillot's Court.

Personality
Alyse has all of the poise, grace, and backbone that made her grandmother famous and well loved. She rarely hedges around a point, and though she is a skilled diplomat, she hardly pulls her punches. Her men trust her as frank and honest, while still being elegant and refined. She is perhaps the best trained of all of the Terreillean Queens that comes to power following the landen uprising.

Legacy
Alyse is the granddaughter of Evelyn Carlise and her Consort and husband, Gideon Blake. Her grandmother served as Challot's Queen for decades before a bid for power by Alexandra Benedict's followers left Evelyne broken and unable to rule. Evelyn had no daughter, and her young sons were eventually fostered in a noble house upon her death.

History
Alyse is the eldest daughter of Donovan Blake and his wife, Rosalind. Donovan is an Opal Jeweled Prince, and his wife a Red Jeweled Healer. The two refused service at the Territory level, and chose instead to raise their daughter and son in peace, on the Blake estate several days outside of the capital city. Alyse was raised in relative peace, until her family was visited by Hayllians who tried to pressure them into giving up custody of young Alyse, and her brother, Gerard Blake. When Donovan refused, the family was attacked in the night. Only Rosalind was killed, among the family, though Alyse and Gerard were captured. They spent three years as "guests" of the High Priestess of Hayll before their father found and rescued them, returning them all to Chaillot.
