Persona History
Araille (Aria) de Lyons is a noblewoman of the French Renaissance. She lived from approximately 1550 into the early 1600s. She is from Lyon (hence the surname de Lyons) and was born of a French mother and from a father (from whom she developed a love of the harp) whose Welsh heritage came to him from a legendary ancestor who fought during the troubled French/Burgundian civil war times of the 1400s.
Aria often, in her earlier life, dressed as a boy and practised the Arte of the Rapier at some of the more distinguished Salles (Academie Duello, for instance) and although in later life she settled down to a lifestyle more appropriate for her rank and station, she still thinks back longingly on her days of young rebellion and occasionally will sneak out for a midnight (or midafternoon) duel with old friends.
Her interest in music is notable and as she has always had a doting family with access to large amounts of musical personages who have passed through, and because her father was a collector of printed music, she has become somewhat of a local expert and will often hold discussion groups and small musical gatherings for friends. Very quietly she learns about herbs for healing and helps women with childbirth. She avoids being highly visible as a midwife as she wants to avoid notice by the Inquisition as much as possible.
