Description: Soft chestnut hair frames a heart-shaped face, dominated by large, dark eyes and fair, clear skin. The height of Keely's brow and the high sweep of her eyebrows suggest almost an attitude of permanent surprise. The overall impression favors youth over any dramatic beauty, though she tries with a careful hand at tasteful makeup. Her best features are those eyes, framed by a sooty thickness of dark eyelashes. Her second best feature is her mouth, dynamic, mobile and expressive, with lips neither too full nor too thin. As for the rest of her, she can take or leave it.
Personality: Keely wants to think the best of everyone. Her gentle heart is sometimes undercut by awkward privilege - have you tried just not being poor? What if we just let the shav'arvani alone and asked them nicely to stop killing our trade caravans? - and a well-intentioned awkwardness that leads some of her tries at social excellence to be more dithery than not. She has high hopes and a tendency to expect a lot from herself, to which she often applies Capital Letters of Real Importance. Her worst enemy is her own embarrassment, over which she is determined to reign supreme ... somehow. Kind, hopeful, and full of fond wishes, she is excellent at finding way to like people, and it is this type of charisma that makes it easy to like her. Naturally inclined to introverted pursuits, she finds herself wishfully lurking at the corners of the ballroom, dreaming of being a woman for whom the splendor she loves comes easier.
Background:
A young princess flowering in a well-tended garden, Keely is cursed by little more dire than a preponderance of sisters. Well-educated in the palatial family estate at Bastion, Keely grew up a wistful child, dreaming of a different kind of _more_ than the kind that might populate the dreams of those without her advantages. A quiet life is not a Grayson direction, and Keely always found some of her more adventuresome siblings honestly more worrying than not.
When her older sisters removed to Arx to make their way in a world that embraced their heritage, Keely stayed home, studying with the seraph of Bastion and learning about different dances and the history of her House, all the while her elder sister, Liara, rose to the challenge that House Grayson had to offer her and accepted the mantle of High Lady from His Majesty.
When Keely set forth for Arx, it was as a sheltered, privileged girl, hoping to reach for womanhood in a capital city full of the shades of reality that she never really saw before beyond her garden walls. She wishes to grow into the kind of powerful woman who dominates a dance floor, a courtier of Renown and Poise. Up until now, she has not been great at Poise. A young girl with powerful and diverse sisters, she has always been shadowed by their accomplishments, but one day, perhaps she shall grow into something fantastic in her own right.

Name | Summary |
Aella | She reminds me of my sister, rambunctious and full of spunk! Also 2 cats named Piscetta and Twiddlywinks... *Squee* |
Aethan | Teacher of the word 'hornswoggle' which I now want to use at the most inappropriate times, seems very nice and very much like what one expects from a Princess of House Grayson. |
Ailys | My charming and delightful young cousin, how nice to run into her while re-learning my way around the city. She was right about the chocolate coffee. |
Aleksei | She seems really, sincerely kind. That's never a bad thing. |
Arman | The Princess is convivial, warm, and posssesed of an earnestness that one can only find endearing. |
Artorius | She must have many admirers, though wears the Grayson modesty in a Lycene bar quite well. Red looks good on her. |
Athaur | It is not often that I have a Princess appear in my hall. But she was polite and charming. Hopefully my brother does not offend her. |
Audgrim | You don't expect princesses to give you a bear plushie and almost make you cry, but there she is. Keely Grayson. Gods bless her. |
Cadenza | A bubbly Grayson princess! She is very organized and is adept at throwing parties. |
Caspian | A most pleasant woman, who makes everyone feel comfortable, even the lowliest people. I get the feeling she is a gentle woman, but that gentleness wraps a steely resolve when tested. |
Cesare | A princess who holds a core of sweetness and mischievous delight beneath her shy exterior. A quiet delight. |
Corrigan | Very polite. A bit jumpy and stared a /bit/ too long, but very polite. |
Cristoph | What an utterly delightful new friend to have made. Keely Grayson shows tremendous promise, I hope the rest of the Compact is bracing themselves for what's to come. |
Denica | Keely is that lovely kind of woman that is full of warmth and has a gentle nature to her. I wish her well in her endeavours in the city. |
Desma | Blushes way too easily but she does have an eye for good clothing designs. |
Elora | She's a warm and sensitive woman. |
Erik | She knew how to defuse a situation with a stranger, wickedly clever that one. |
Fairen | Like all Grayson princesses, her manners and politeness are unfailing. A most charming conversationalist with a personality that helps put one at ease quickly, which is a rare quality in a person. She seems to find some topics unnerving - whether due to overfamiliarity or wish to not become so I cannot tell, although since she claims to be an adventurer, likely the former. In any case, I'm delighted to have met her. |
Fairen | Beneath all her polish and charm lies a fatal flaw: she's rather brutal on books. |
Giorgio | Princess Keely is truly more fun to keep the company of than she believes. I enjoyed drinking with her. Perhaps we will have an opportunity to do so again in the very near future. |
Grady | Princess Liara's sister is a wonderful light, come in a time when House Grayson is in dire need of the warmth that she keeps with her. I know we shall get along fabulously. |
Haakon | Rich enough to think kindly, meek enough to be shy and quiet. Never have I met another noble so vastly different than myself. |
Ilira | I sincerely enjoy making her blush. She's all sweet innocence and genteel manners, but I sense a little something wild just beneath. I'd love to scrape the surface. |
Jaenelle | Gentle, soft, yet more than strong enough to face social warefare head on. A beautiful soul, and someone who I enjoy the company of. |
Katarina | Look. I've apologized for climbing on her like that, but she was in the way, and it was a very important birthday baking contest. |
Lark | I think she has some generalized fear of socializing. It's the only explanation for why she gets so nervous when speaking to me. It's a shame! So much potential, otherwise! They really ought to have sent her on more playdates as a child. |
Lenard | Dark hair framing dark eyes like a burgundy dahlia, she is exquisitely poised. A voice soft that conveys a love of life and a caring heart that seems like it could hold the whole world's troubles. Always an honour to meet a Grayson. |
Liara | Would that we could all retain my little sister's attitude to and outlook on all things, unencumbered by darker thoughts. It is certainly always refreshing. |
Mabelle | Such a graceful woman, her movement as delicate as a wisp of air. She is excitable and charming, I look forward to help her break out as a social butterfly. |
Macario | For a Grayson, she's quite nice and approachable. Friendly, sure, but there's a wit to her that's lovely. |
Martino | Grayson Princess Socialite and keeper of fine company. |
Mattheu | Straightforward and knows what she desires to find within others. A delight to speak with, even if discussion finds its way drifting. A smile that will light the way to any shoreside with ease. |
Medeia | The princess has a kind and generous heart. Every time I see her, I find myself reminded that life is able to hold moments of light. |
Nazmir | She is like a spark that sets off an unextinguishable blaze. Charming and well spoken, there's a force natural force to her, one that easily draws people into her sphere and as she grows more confident, it's only going to get stronger. I look forward to seeing what the future holds. |
Nina | Ran quite a lively musical game at a friendly party! My favorite things! |
Noah | She's nice. I'm not sure if that is a good change from Grayson stoic or not. It will win her friends, I just hope it doesn't win her heart ache. |
Norwood | I think she did something to Alis, except I can't quite remember, I feel terrible for not remembering. A Joust? Oh... did she break someone's arm? Or did //I// break someone's arm? Dang. |
Orchid | She is a Grayson princess. Orchid not certain she understands that not everyone seeks glory or to wear something new all the time. However, she seems like a kind princess who was, just that, raised a princess. Orchid would not mind speaking with her more, in a setting that doesn't involve Orchid finding a patron. |
Orick | The Princess has frequented the shop in the past, yet, it was a treat to run into her by happenstance and have a slightly longer conversation this time, she's full of curious ideas and it would seem we should speak again very soon. |
Orland | I want to say I recognize her outside of the meeting we had about singing, but, it could be I'm more familiar with her name and what she had done in Bastion through the stories I heard. |
Oskar | I was trained on social convention because it was necessary for me to fit in, not because I wanted it. I feel like this one and I are not so different. |
Pasquale | She seemed enchanted by the Magpie. A pleasant young Princess. |
Savio | Someday she will recognize in herself the treasure that is so readily apparent to others, and then she will be completely unstoppable. |
Sira | The princess seems kind, if a bit shy. Though, I can't complain about her pleasantries! |
Sofia | How sweetly innocent and charming! |
Veronica | A very sweet and welcoming Grayson Princess. She also has a secret... I wonder what kind. |
Viviana | She was bright and engaging -- and from what I hear, she is aptly named as the Spirit of Grayson. She's a wonder. |
Yael | I'll get her to play with my hair yet, but only some place I can fall asleep. The Princess is remarkable. Kind, open, yet with the bearing one expects of a princess. It was a pleasure to meet her at the Badger. |
Zoey | She tries very hard to fit the mold of what she thinks a princess should be, and given her family that is a lot to live up to. Given time, I know she will find the princess she is actually meant to be, and I look forward to seeing her on that day. |
