Nimue Maris

Nimue Maris is a princess of Aucurio and the youngest daughter of King Maris. Her sister is Caelia Maris, and her half-brother is Mordred Pendragon. Her retainer Evaine Lyones manipulated her into struggling against Mordred for control of Aucurio's throne.

Early Childhood
Nimue is King Maris's second daughter and youngest legitimate child. Since Aucurio is such a patriarchal nation, Nimue, like her sister Caelia, was dismissed as a worthless heir. She grew up barely knowing her father, under her mother's watchful gaze.

Her mother bore two more children after her, but both were female, so King Maris did away with them in secret out of anger. The queen began to waste away from grief over her lost daughters and shame for not bearing a son. She had no more love to spare for her two living children.

Nimue first encounters the seer Evaine Lyones as a child. Evaine plants the seed of rebellion in Nimue by telling her that she sees visions of a fairer Aucurio, one with Nimue on its throne.

Caelia Maris
Nimue and Caelia spent most of their time together since childhood, but the two aren't exactly close. Caelia keeps her thoughts to herself and Nimue is self-focused, so they don't share what they think most of the time. Part of Nimue sees her older sister as a tool - as a loyal servant, but one that could be easily replaced. Caelia doesn't particularly love Nimue, but she supports her out of a lack of options.
