History
Constance was born the eldest daughter of House Rowan, a house that had been embroiled in a feud with the neighbouring House Nallen even before the unification of Dentoria. Being raised in a militant House meant that the young Constance quickly learnt a sort of firm assertiveness discouraged in women by most Dentorian Houses. For the longest time the only daughter in the family, she was doted on by her parents, and while she could freely play with her brothers in their mock battles, she was happily pressed into more feminine pursuits when she tired of her brothers' rowdy arguments. Over the years, Constance grew to become a charming and accomplished young woman, certainly desirable to a young lord searching for a wife.
Though her life was never what one would call quiet, due to the feud with Nallen, the first event that made an impact on her occurred when she was twenty. Byron, her eldest brother and sibling that she was closest to, died with his entire company, while on a standard bandit patrol. No one could believe that a man as skilled at combat as Byron, along with the very best of Rowan's soldiers, could fall so easily to mere bandits, and thus, the blame was placed entirely in the hands of House Nallen. While Lord Morgan had taught his children of all the "accidents" and slights House Nallen had done, and the monthly household disruptions were enough to stir in her a mild dislike of her family's longtime rival and enemy, this was the first time Constance believed in her father's words, and hated them.
Then, when she was twenty-two, the family received news that her aunt Adelaide, who, by being only two years older than Constance, was her chief childhood playmate and companion, had died in an accident. While she would never tell a soul, she has never forgiven Adelaide's husband, Lord Nicolas of Conare, for what she sees as negligence, for she could not see how her aunt, who was nearly a sister to her, could be as clumsy enough as to fall off a balcony. Two bereavements in the space of two years left Constance a quieter, more thoughtful woman, but have given her more reason to fear death.
It was soon after the mourning period for Adelaide had passed when she began courting the young heir to House Allba, Lord Rylan. It was quite a long courtship, but she had no reason to think that they will not end up married. That was until she was twenty-three, when Lord Rylan suddenly had the courtship broken off, and instead married Cerise, the sister of a fast-rising and rich young merchant. So that Rowan would not be offended by what was, in the bluntest of terms, a great slight, Lord Rylan's younger twin, Derek, courted and married Constance instead.
At present, Constance lives with her husband and their two young children in a manor somewhere in the town of Allba, but away from the main manor itself. Her new home is quiet, different to what she had been accustomed to in Rowan, and she delights in her children, is fond of her husband, and likes her good-sisters well enough, but she cannot stand her occasional stays at Allba Manor, where Lord Rylan and his Lady Cerise dwell, and sees everything that was once promised to her.
Personality
Constance is a very confident woman, clever enough to hide it so she does not seem conceited, but one cannot mistake her for anything other than highborn. She is assertive enough to make her thoughts known, without being so forceful that men may accuse her of meddling in affairs where women have no place, but there are some thoughts she keeps secret, believing them to be no one's business but hers. She has been taught, since the day she was born, all the ins and outs of the lifestyle of a noblewoman; managing the household, the finances, raising children, supporting her husband, every skill and accomplishment that could carry her far, and she has excelled at it. She looks completely at ease in a social setting, knowing when to be charming, when to be witty, when to be gracious, when to be assertive, as she does being the wife of a young lord, and the mother of his children.
One wonders, for Constance will certainly not say so, if there is an ulterior motive in her determination to be the best wife, the best mother, the best lady she can be, for not many women would shrug off having a suitor many were certain would be her husband, instead marry the sister of an up and coming merchant, as easily as she seems to have done. Constance is a generous and congenial lady, it is generally agreed, but those who say so do not see the bitingly critical woman that appears ever so fleetingly before people who do not know her well, and more frequently before people who do, and, especially before people who do know her and are the focus of her disapproval.
Over the years, Constance has grown quieter, more hard, more bitter, but only those close to her can notice even an inkling of this change. Constance is a woman whose pride and ambition has been bruised greatly, and she knows how to keep a grudge. One may live out their entire lives not knowing the extent of her dislike, even hatred, of them, if she so chooses. The most obvious of her grudges is against Nallen, who she blames for Byron's death. She is fond of her husband, close enough to love him, given a few more years, but will probably never forgive him for not being his twin. She likes her brother, Kiefer, who is now heir to Rowan in Byron's place, and enjoys his coversation, but does not forgive him for taking a dispassionate stand against Nallen, and for essentially not being Byron. She is polite and gracious when conversing with Rylan and Cerise, and seems to have put aside how she and Rylan had been close to marrying all those years ago, but her pride is still hurt from his earlier slight, and she takes a vindictive delight in their continued childlessness, and subtly putting down Cerise at any opportunity.
Appearance
Those who know Constance would say that there is no doubt that she is a beauty, with long auburn hair that curls softly at the tips, and blue eyes, and has the presence of mind to flatter it further with a regal air. She is tall for a woman, and has kept a good figure despite recently giving birth.
