History / Backstory:
Her mother was a very close friend of LionHearts in his youth and the reason for his favorable outlook and quit urging for equality between humans and therians. Shortly after the birth of her daughter she was the victim of one of Clements first witch-hunts against Therians... escaping with her daughter, but too wounded to sustain her flight she brought her to the one man she could absolutely trust with her.
LionHeart took the baby in and raised her as his own, caring for Illiana's mother and ensuring that she was given a peaceful send off to Lunaris when she came for her. As a youth LionHeart had been known to spend time with her and it was generally accepted that she'd given him a daughter, since he was a still just a knight, nothing was thought of the affair and life resumed for all parties involved. Save one detail. LionHeart's contempt for Clement for orphaning Illiana. that resentment has carried over to Illiana who while civil around Sol's priests finds clement intolerable.
As a young woman she developed a love affair with LionHearts collection of books and the wealth of knowledge the libraries had to offer in the various cities LionHeart visited during his ascension to Lordship. In her travels she gradually came to learn and understand that she was quite sheltered from the 'real' world and began to spend more and more time abroad, even going so far as to enter into other kingdoms in disguise to learn how other cultures lived and treated their own inherent Therian population. Much of what she learned gradually stripped away her naivete and innocent minded views. As she grew increasingly jaded with the world at large and her cynical methods of approach to situations began to clash with her fathers more optimistic views. Oddly, instead of creating strife it created a synergy between 'Father' and daughter. Paving the way for LionHeart to establish his two man teams of knights that patrol and devote their times to training the common people's militias that are prevalent in his territories, and while there are a number of therian communities in his territory they're generally accepted as Illiana makes great efforts to spend time among them whenever she can so as to foster better relations between Humans and her people. It was during one such visit she met her on/off lover and had a child with him. She keeps it a very closely guarded secret. In her last few years she's taken more and more to spending time gossiping with the noblewomen in King Osgoods court. She's quite fond og the good king and encourages her father to remain good friends with the king... and perhaps take his advice to build himself a proper lords keep.
It was during a travel near the edges of the Plainslands that she met a spirited young woman named Lyndis, the 'Savage' as she called her, was surprisingly regal and civil with her, once Illiana got past the fact the woman was a little immodest and 'barbaric' in nature. their travels together were a contrast in differences as they slowly developed a friendship and close knit almost sisterly bond. This bond led her to find her 'calling' in helping Lyn rebuild her clan. A number of therians from the communities within LionHearts lands eagerly accepted the task to help her rebuild and have relocated. While highly unusual, the now closeknit nomadic tribe has managed to do well for itself with Illiana's firm hand on their economics, Lyn's organization and planning and Leona's martial prowess. All three women have managed to get the clan back up and prosperous, leaving them more time to move abroad and gather more aid for the clan.
Illiana, surprisingly only resents her Biological father, and not LionHeart who's done much to temper her anger and rage, with the firm Guidance of Lyndis, who dispite everything has become a good friend even if her and Illiana's personalities clash. While older, she respects Lyn's ability to understand and accept her more learned and educated views.
Illiana and Leona have a standing rivalry for Pack Beta. Both women are almost too evenly matched, Illiana's tenuous hold on the title is by dint of her education and friendship with Lyndis, and her ability to shed light on issues the other two miss. Where Lyn is well rounded and charismatic, Leona's physical prowess and tenacity are balanced by Illiana's 'civil' diplomacy and educated thinking.
