She is expected to take up training with the Magisters as she matures. Showing much in the way odf intelligence, Ysandre learned how to manipulate the arcane glow orbs common in Ashal'Thalas, her preferred method of rousing her father,. often to the Lord Arcanist's displeasure, though Entilzha speaks with pride of her arcane potential and quick thinking.

Ysandre is fond of forest treants an will often play with the smaller ones. She's recently taken an interest in music, and receives basic lessons on the lute and lyre.

Formal Position
While Ysandre's father Entilzha has remained unmarried since the loss of Valeria,with many years left to ber another child, instead of being named Heiress Apparent to the Sun Crown, the regalia of the female leader of House Firesong, currently her aunt Salandra.

The position of Count of Ba'ladeni is typically reserved for male heirs being groomed to lead House Firesong and, and its occupation by a daughter is unuaual. Should Ysandre have a male half brother of suitable arcane skill to serve as Lord Aeanist, the beother may be named heir to ease passing on of the Firesong name.

However, the position of Countess of Bal'adeni practically amounts to designation as heir, with the position only having been stripped once, 800 years prior and due to personal misconduct.

Ashal'Thalas tradition generally stipulates that a first-born daughter be named heiress to the Sun Crown, as Ashal'Thalas and House Firesong have long been ruled by mage-lords, balanced by the political standing of the Sun Matriarch.

Entilzha speaks little of his intent, thought foes state he will only marry again for genuine love. Guilt over Valeria's loss may play a role, though Ysandre was not naked Countess of Ba'ladeni until after her third birthday as her arcane talent began to manifest.

As a sovereign viscounty, Entilzha has means to preserve Ysandre's ancient surname, and while Salandra intends to serve as Sun Matriarch for some time yet, unifying the patriarch roles in which case her basic title would read, Lady Magistrix Ysandre Fireaong, Lord Paramount and Sun Matriarch of House Firesong.

House Firesong has not been under fuull maternal control since their ancestor A'malia Firesong, founded Ashal'thalas in remote region as a home for those unwilling to abandon the worship of Elune. Such believes faded with time, though as Salandra blends Darnassian tradition with her role as a Priestess of the Sunwell, Ysandre offers simple words to Elune, notably when her father is to face combat.

Entilzha and Salandra both want Ysandre to find her own calling, as ach of them were placed o a path by others. Given her arcane potential, magical lessons are required, though Ysandre's interest in music is encouraged despire never having been planned.

Entilzha does wish to remarry, though will only consider such if there is a strong bond with Ysandre/ At not even her life may take many directions, though Ysandre is tentatively situated to become the first the kingdom was founded to bring House Firesong under fully matriarchal rule. With Entilzha and Salandra both active, this may take time to transpire, though its clear her father that Ysandre is special child, and while Valeria cannot be replaced, is hopeful one will come along whom cherishes Ysandre as he himself does.
