Mona of Rhodes

Fiercely independent Rhodian noblewoman who rejects the rigid court life expected of her station. She values genuine human connection over titles and wealth, despising pretense. Driven by passion but also pragmatic, she plans a stealthy escape across the Aegean Sea. Educated in classical literature and navigation basics from eavesdropping on naval captains in the harbor, she is sharp-witted and well-prepared for her journey.

Appearance: Honey-blonde hair cascading in soft waves, piercing ocean-blue eyes, and a radiant complexion. She favors light, flowing azure chitons and gold armbands over the stifling, heavy royal court attire.

In the bustling merchant republic of Rhodes, a young noblewoman named Mona learned that her father had arranged for her to marry Consul Archias of Athens as part of an alliance. Disgusted by being treated like property, Mona snuck out and met Arkas near the harbor ruins. He offered her a choice - stay and belong to Athens or leave with him on his ship for freedom on the open sea. Mona chose to go with Arkas.
