Inez

Early Life

Inezariyah Rosalind Amren Winnow, or Inez, as she now introduces herself as, was born into an influential fairy royal family. As the crown princess, Inez was expected to marry young, bear a child, and continue the Winnow Dynasty.

Inez spent her childhood longing for a life where her existence did not hinge upon her family name - and she got it, after the mysterious death of her first husband. Upon returning home and denying both title and crown to the kingdom she had married into, the King took pity upon her poorly heart and granted her one wish. Inez was escorted by royal guards out of the Feywild to pursue just one, quick adventure before she returned to her duties as the crown princess.

Soon after leaving the bounds of the Feywild, Inez ran into Serana Graveheart, who travelled with her into Daggerford.
