Countess Esme of Bedegraine

Appearance
Esme of Bedegraine wears her raven black hair in a waist-length braid. Her ice blue eyes pierce with a famous intensity, and her demeanor is just as cold. Though technically a knight, Esme is not often called to service on account of her crushed sword hand, which she covers up with jewelry and other finery.

Esme looks very young, but it is rumoured she's been running Bedegraine longer than Uther has been alive. She's outlived three spouses to date, and her husband Aron is appropriately timid at the idea.

Personality
Esme is cold, but she is present. Her intense air about her is focused like the point of a blade at your throat, ready to strike you dead where you stand should you make a wrong move.
