Age: 27
Affiliation: Silver / House Silver
-Servant of House Silver, Perscia is House Silver’s groundskeeper.
-Grew up on farmland under House Rosenburg in Thule, Perscia always heard of the legendary gardens of the Silver estate.
-She dreamed of being picked as Silver’s groundskeeper, and not only learned about landscaping, agriculture, and natural flora and fauna, but she also learned how to use agricultural equipment in a fight.
-Perscia can use a scythe, garden shears, and even swing around a rake like the best of them.
-Why? Many people across the nation had the same aspiration as her, and she wanted to stand out.
-Seventeen years ago, Rudy and Margaret visited Thule on a trip and Perscia took a chance to impress them. She managed to get a thirty second audience with him.
-But her goal wasn’t to impress Rudy. At least, not directly. It was to impress Margaret.
-She used that time to present her with a beautiful bouquet in which she had grown all the flowers and designed it herself. Perscia had heard of the couple’s favorite flowers and had thoughtfully put something together.
-And…. she might have slipped in that she was very proficient with wielding a shovel and could protect House Silver should the Insomnians attack.
-Imagine a ten year-old very solemnly swearing to protect the most powerful and important couple of Silver... with a shovel?
-That certainly got a chuckle out of them, and Rudy and Margaret decided to give Perscia a chance to study under the then-groundskeeper.
-Perscia flourished, took over as head groundskeeper when the previous one retired, and has been a loyal servant of House Silver since then.
-And don’t you worry, Perscia upholds her words and remembers what she said seventeen years ago – she still practices fighting with her gardening equipment.
-It gets quite a laugh out of anyone who sees her, but she’s deadly serious about it and will challenge anyone who derides her to a duel.
-If Insomnia invades, she’s not going to be a useless servant – she’ll be damned if the Insomnians stomp all over the gardens.
