Daelia Romany
The third child and eldest daughter, Daelia Romany is in the middle of her twenty-third year when she and her siblings are banished into the far reaches of the kingdom.
Standing at 5’7” with emerald eyes that match her dark-red curls, Daelia has the lithe, graceful body of a dancer. Her position as eldest daughter has made her practical and dependable, though she often has her head in the clouds. She is a hopeless romantic who craves beauty in her life. Where her family are builders, she is an artist, and was often called upon to add her carvings to a piece of furniture or weaponry. On many late nights before the banishment she could be found laboring by lamplight in the woodshop, singing softly to herself as she formed a plain piece of wood into a work of art. Her hair is never neatly braided, but always carelessly piled on her head with several wooden combs.
Though outwardly strong and practical, Daelia struggles with lack of self-confidence, anxiety, and loneliness. Her mother always said she had a sense about her that allows her to know what others are feeling. She often can feel when something bad is about to happen; and tends to carry other people worries on her own shoulders. She is constantly at odds with herself. She is lonely, but finds it easier to be alone than with people whom, she feels, don’t understand her.
However, Daelia takes her position as eldest sister seriously, and she is unswervingly devoted to taking care of her brothers and sisters. She feels a motherly responsibility for the welfare of her family, especially the younger sister whom she is closest to. Her most prized possessions are her bow and arrows, which she is highly skilled in the use of—sometimes going off into the forest alone for hours on end to practice with them.
About Me
My name is Rachel Brewer. As the eldest of three daughters and a lover of art and beauty, I feel a certain kinship with the character I have created for The Romany Epistles. I was raised all over the United States and in several foreign countries, as my parents were missionaries—I spent much of my time in alone, creating my own entertainment. When I was little, my mom had to force me to read—but before long, it was hard to find me without a book. Homeschooled all twelve years, I was raised on books, and have developed a great appreciation for good writing. I first began writing in high school when I was assigned several fiction writing projects; I dragged my feet the whole way. I was not a writer, I was an artist and would rather have been doing something else. After a while of working on these projects, however, I began to discover that I found it satisfying to be able to put words and actions down on paper in a way that others can enjoy. I have been writing ever since, though mostly for my own entertainment, and even get to include my love of art by drawing sketches of my characters. I hope that my book Daelia will not only entertain my readers, but that it will be something worthy of my reader’s time.
While working on Daelia I continue to work on my previous writing venture Dorne Avra which I hope to have available to readers soon.
