Calesthan Drazharan

Blurb
Calesthan Drazharan (nee Celehin), Ethuverazhid Zhasan is the fifth and final wife of Emperor Varenechibel IV. One of the more outspoken wives he has had, her penchant for breaking with tradition is well known. Through her influence, it's become the norm in court for women to bow instead of curtsy, and one of her closest allies in court is the radical Archduchess Vedero, champion of women's rights.

Background
Calesthan was born approximately a year before the emperor's fateful marriage to Chenelo, daughter of the Great Avar. Upon turning 13, Calesthan was brought to the Imperial court for the first time. Most who met her were immediately taken with her almost doll-like beauty and gentle mannerisms. It came as no surprise, then, that a few days after her 16th birthday, a letter came from the Corazhas that she had been selected from the many eligible noblewomen as the emperor's wife.

Personality
Calesthan is still as beautiful as she was 7 years before, although time has given her features a little more maturity. She is respected among the courts as a gentle and benevolent soul, who has time for any concern and can smooth over any situation. However, she is still quite young, and has a long way to go before she is a fully-realized political player.

It is well known that Calesthan has a bit of a sweet tooth - but only a bit. Her favored sweet treats are often mild in nature, such as almond paste, praline, and dark chocolate.
