Appearance
If Torea knew how to hold herself gracefully, talk lightly, and dress smartly she would far outshine her sister Rowena. She is tall with a slender neck and piercing blue eyes- brighter than any of her siblings- and deep red hair. Her skin is pale and unblemished. Yet she runs instead of walks, talks about politics and hunting instead of gossip and dresses, and her clothes are somewhat behind the fashions.

Personality
Torea is headstrong with far too many opinions according to her mother. She enjoys hunting (thanks to her brother) and would probably fight with a sword if given the opportunity. She's intelligent (too intelligent by all reports) and is the only member of her family who suspects that her parents aren't the kind and benevolent Lord and Lady Paramount that they present when their children are nearby.

History
Like all of her siblings, she grew up with a loving family and was rather spoiled. As a child she was very, very close to her brother and often accompanied him when he went on hunts (leading to her developing a love of hunting as well). He taught her swordplay on the sly (at least until she was 9 and her father caught on and put a stop to it) and excelled at all of her lessons- except ones requiring grace and tact. She once jokingly told a visiting lady that her sister Rowena had inherited all the grace and buttery words while Torea got all the brains in the family.

She suspects that her parents aren't quite as nice to the people as they act when their children are present although she currently doesn't have total proof of this. She also understands the very real threat Lord Alan and his forces present thanks to her love of war books. As such, she might be the only one (besides her mother and some war advisors) who knows exactly how dangerous her life has just become. She knows what happens to captured nobles.
