Alysanne
Character
Visits to Chandrila were scarce. Family reunions always ended in drama, arguments and an urge to down a large amount of alcohol in as short a time as possible. Nonetheless, Alysanne continued to drop in at certain points, just to inform her family of her latest contact details. And to assure all of them that, yes, she was still alive and no, she wouldn't be heading back to whatever school/convent/asylum they'd dutifully arranged for her. Such was the focus of the good Theoban Valora.
The last meeting had ended with threats, smashed glasses and promises of a sword fight. That'd been one of the more pleasant occasions.
The mood had been suitably charged since she'd stepped foot inside her family home. The 'estate' was a middling pile off past some farmland, surrounded by trees and a couple of rivers. Alysanne knew every inch of the estate from her childhood. She spent countless days out there, searching for smuggles or stolen treasure; fighting deadly Sith troopers or dangerous pirates with her stick-cum-Sword of Justice and Truth. She wanted nothing more than to run off back out there, but she knew she had at least a couple of hours of you're a disgrace to this family and I didn't pay all that money to get a cheap slut as a daughter and if you had any decency you'd come back home and marry Milton.
Once the usual pleasantries and formalities had been made, Alysanne took a quick break to cool the air. Mainly to go outside and smoke a little; leave her parents to simmer down a little. She stepped out of the house, walking towards the garden in the breezy, early-evening air. Quite why her family were still so obsessed with Milton of all boys, she'd never know. Her recollection of him was a weedy stick of a guy who was decidedly more interested in the other boys than he was in her. Must be some money in it. Or prestige. Or both.
Cigarra lit, Alysanne moved towards the shaded edges of the garden, where the orderly rows of flowers and plants became a disorganised, thick mass of hedgerow and thicket. Where the gardens ended and the rest of the estate began. Least that way, she'd be hidden if her mother decided to come stalking out for round two. Slipping into a shadowy crevice between thorn-bush and hedge, Alysanne looked up at the sky and breathed, reaching for her datapad. Maybe she could convince her folks to lend her some credits. Or just steal them. Wouldn't be the first time.
