Some people will tell you that Temptation should have been my middle name, though my first name would have then been Deceiving. I am Korrina Annsley Joy MacMillan Kl'ramordan, and I am nothing that my appearance would reveal to you. Most assume that I am a naive, unassuming young adult that could be easily taken advantage of. However, beneath the layers of sweetness and the pretense of ignorance lies what could prove to be a most deadly foe. I was born February 18, 1536 (year of my family's homeland) into an unusual circumstance to unusual people to live an unusual life. I am the blood daughter of Kerrinne Lynne MacMillan, one of the most notorious and elite in RhyDin's history also one of those most underestimated, and Lord James JoyKnight - a fine and proud Templar Knight with a weakness for women and sex that had the potential to wreak havoc upon his entire existence. I was conceived in one heated night of passion only to be born unto a different father nine months later, for my mother's heart had been won by Vois Sthavar Kl'ramordan - the leader of the Restorers of Light guild at the time. Vois adopted me shortly after I was born and he and mother were married for the first time, he is my father in my eyes - for I have known no other. Nor could any other ever mean as much to me. From the MacMillan bloodline I inherited the line of pyromancy that runs back generation upon generation, including my famous late Great Grandfather, Karal Bairde MacMillan - Master Pyromancer who created the three legendary Claymores of Fire. From the Joy bloodline I inherited the fierce loyalty and determination of the Templar Knights that dominated the family's genealogy along with my father's strong sense of sexuality. From my adopted father, I learned that any thing worth believing in was worth fighting for. While his and my views of the world differ, he will always be a person I hold the highest respect for. Unfortunately for me, my mother really was not meant to be a mother. It is not to say that she is not a good mother, but it is to say that she seldom finds time to be a mother. Her work has always come before myself and my two half brothers, and her work came well before any man she shared a bed with as well - which probably contributes to her inability to have a lasting relationship. I grew up in a time when my mother had switched alignment from the light that betrayed her to the darkness, and I have learned of the dark influences of my Aunt, Karrah Lynne Sable, who turned to the darker arts of necromancy and the occult rather than the pyromancy bloodline. All of these factors have molded into the highly devious, highly confusing, and highly dangerous woman that I have become today. I have mastered control of fire unlike any other in my family before me. The elemental entity of fire even gave me one of his own - a small sphere of fire that follows me around cackling and hissing in constant conversation with me. I have not yet met anyone other than me that can communicate with this globe of fire. No one is quite sure what this 'gift' is supposed to do, but many suspect that it will protect me at some crucial point in my life. I have other plans for it though, since I have created a bond with this globe that's been my sole companion since I was ten. I spent my childhood being shuffled from the House of Ivory where our Nanny, Velicity, would watch me to various boarding schools in Scotland, England, Switzerland, and Sweden. I don't remember how I came to hate my mother, only that I held such a huge hatred for her and resentment for her for many years. From age 14 to 18, I even conspired with my Aunt Karrah on her schemes and ill-fated plots and attempts to kill my mother. On the brink of my 19th birthday, I finally have come to appreciate the type of woman my mother is. She is no "Mother of the Year", but she is the backbone to everything that occurs seen and unseen - though mostly the latter - in RhyDin. She has left me a legacy, an empire, a future to inherit. Though I intend on building my own empires in my coming decades, it brings me pride to know and to finally see and understand what it is my mother's hard work has given her...us. Aunt Karrah's insanity has spread too far for me to feel comfortable around her anymore, though I still visit her on occasion. No one else will, and she is blood. I don't feel sorry for my Aunt; she has chosen her path knowing the ramifications of what could happen by doing so. Through her I have learned many valuable lessons - the most important being, never deny what is your birthright. I am a pyromancer above all and everything else. Fire is my life, fire is my soul, fire is my heart. My life has now been devoted to Lord of Magic, himself. He gave me his name, his mark, and a strength inside of me that burns hotter than any fire. My home is now at Castle Meridwen on the island of Lentar in the Isles of Seren, a childhood place that I still hold dear. I feel as though I am needed there, and so my mother has named me Duchess over the Isles of Seren. Family
