Age: ~23
Appearance: (note: icon temporary)
5'7" tall with a relatively thin, semi-athletic frame. Her blonde hair is cut to her shoulders and held up in a half-tail, with a pair of goggles resting on top of her head both keeping the hair out of her heterochromatic one-blue-and-one-aqua eyes. Generally she wears simple orange-ish tan breeches and a green sleeved shirt, occasionally with a harness made of wood and metal scraps and often carrying one or more of her creations.
Equipment: She has a small set of tools with which to cut and nail together wood and thinner metals, as well as a buckler-like shield with a blade coming out the front, cobbled together from scrap materials. She also has a pair of broken mechanical wings that are missing their old power source and a half finished forearm-mounted crossbow.
Skills and Abilities: She is highly creative, able to use even discarded and scrap materials to create interesting small tools, weapons, and similar pieces.
She is good with carpentry and basic mechanics, with passable knowledge in working cold metal.
Biography: She was born on the island of Éledún, home to one of the most magically gifted groups of humans in her world. However, from her birth it was known to all that she would lack any of these gifts for her entire life. Her eyes were enough to tell them that. So, to make up for the magical inadequacy she was so self-conscious of, she took up tinkering with wood and metal, creating small inventions to help around the town or to help fight(some...working much better than others). She spent most of her life trying to prove herself to her peers, but was always viewed as some eccentric outcast on the edge of town, until the flood washed everything away.

“I’m glad to hear that.” She said to him, “If only every royal shared your view.” In order to match his regal stature, she attempted to fix her own posture, as to appear more professional. "not much of a royal, if I'm frank." He began, looking to deflect her praise. "A few years ago, I was the third son of a two-bit noble. No prospects or even marriage chances, since I'm not an heir. Not like I'm much of a looker either, by our standards. I just got lucky, at the end of the day."
Givena raised an eyebrow to the king. “Sorry if this sounds out of turn, but…you’re the king. You can’t get more royal than that. It doesn’t matter how you got the role, it’s where you sit now. A-and you seem to be doing a pretty good job at it!” She added hastily, making sure not to offend the king.

Regardless, i have question for you now. What are your plans now? Do you wish to explore my city more, or see the islands I've spotted off the coast?"

Givena paused for a moment and thought. She was curious about this place across the waves. From how it was described earlier it very well could be what remains of Vérilia...though whether she'd want to be there if it was, she wasn't sure of. And yet, this city seemed so interesting to the young polymath, yet at the same time it was quite daunting. A whole city full of demons, which she thought myth up until just a few hours ago. It boggled the mind. And besides, who was to say if all of the residents were as welcoming as their king...
A short silence passed before Givena had made up her mind. She took a deep breath. "If you'd be so kind to let me, I'd like to stay here. I feel like...there's so much I could learn here. Maybe some I could help, too." She looks up to him. "Besides, after the trip on the ocean I just had I think I'd like to stay on dry land for a bit."

"Are you any good with building construction or city planning? My poor chief architect is severely overworked and he needs all the help he can get."

For a moment, Givena was caught off-guard. She hadn’t expected a quest directly from the king himself. Then, she started to give it some thought. Even back home she had helped out some with the systems around the city…or at least, she’d try to. She had lost count of the amount of times she’d pitched system ideas to the elders, only to get shot down. ‘We already have magic that can do that.’ They’d tell her, casting aside the fact that she didn’t have that luxury. Here, though? In a place where everyone’s magic had waned, maybe her ideas could really be put into use.
“I can’t say I’m good at construction, but I could definitely help with the planning of it all.” She said to the king. “The broad strokes should already be set, from what I saw, and I’m good at helping come up with fine details to make daily life easier.” She paused, considering something. “Though before I do help, I’ll have to get a better feel for the city and what its people want.

"Well, if you like, my daughter can take you around? She does need to get out more." *He seemed to imply that she spent far too much time inside the palace.*

Givena glanced over at Lilresia. Even with their short interaction, she could tell that the young noble was quite naive. Perhaps some time mingling among the people would do her some good. It could give her a better idea of the people her father led.
And yet, she was hesitant. With a member of the royal family tagging along(was her relation to the king even that well known of?), some may become hesitant to share things they think could be made better. Even with the current throne’s openness to their pleas, that type of royal fear could be hard to unlearn.
She turned back to Hochrescal. Despite her misgivings, she owed the king at least that for giving her this opportunity(and also not killing her earlier. She now knew that was never a possibility to begin with, but still). “Thank you.” She said to him, “I think I’d appreciate the help.”

“I think I’ll leave now.” Givena said. “I still need to gather my things from the beach and bring them closer to the city. Besides, after riding in that boat of mine for so long I need to take some more time before sitting down and resting more. But thank you. Is there anything else you want to talk about before I take my leave?” She asked.

I'll send a man over to help you with you luggage, and show you where we keep our boats. Is that alright with you?" The king added at the end.

“I think I can manage it myself.” Givena reassured the king. “When I said boat I should have specified, it’s closer to a raft than anything.” That or a floating coffin. She thought. She kept that part to herself.
She turned to Lilresia. “I should be back within the hour, then I’ll be free for that tour of the city. Where should I meet up with you?”

“Alright, that sounds good.” Givena affirmed, before departing herself to get her belongings from the shore.
