Sibylla Blake, Queen Regent of Jerusalem, Countess of The Dual County of Jaffa and Ascalon. Sibylla is a Northern Sergal with dark blue fur, yellow eyes, pointed triangular ears, a sharp muzzle and a long fluffy tail. Unlike most noble women at the time, Sibylla preferred to wear simpler clothing, like a simple black dress with matching undergarments. Sibylla was the eldest daughter of King Amalric and the only daughter of his first wife, Agnes of Courtenay. Her father died in 1174, making her heir presumptive to her younger brother, the now King Baldwin IV; when it became clear that the 13-year-old King had contracted leprosy, the matter of Sibylla's marriage became urgent. The regent, Count Raymond III of Tripoli, arranged for her to marry William Longsword of Montferrat in late 1176, but within a year, William died, leaving her pregnant and in possession of The Dual County of Jaffa and Ascalon. Shortly after giving birth to a son, Baldwin V, named so after her brother, Sibylla came to be associated with her brother in public acts, thereby being designated as next in line to the throne as Queen Regent. Sibylla's brother arranged her second marriage to Guy of Lusignan in 1180, likely to foil a coup planned by Raymond III of Tripoli and Bohemond III of Antioch, but the marriage deeply divided the nobility. By 1183, King Baldwin had become completely incapacitated by his disease as well as disillusioned with Guy's character and inability to lead. To prevent Guy's accession to the throne, Baldwin had Sibylla's son crowned as Co-King.
