Morana.

It's a fitting name for someone who has lived in the darkness their whole life. Like death, darkness can also symbolize the unexpected or that which is feared.

From the moment she was born, her life has already been associated with darkness. With hair dark as the night and skin white as snow, she was a damned child indeed.

Born from the household of Leora, she was the exact opposite from what they had expected. In the Kingdom of Versá, The House of Leora was known to be the light of the kingdom. Every member of the household was born with hair white as snow and eyes green as the forest.

But Morana was the opposite despite having the family eyes. This made her the black sheep of the family. Even her own parents treated her like an outcast. Love and compassion are something that she had never felt before despite the name Leora means compassion or light.

How funny it was for her family to be like a two-sided coin in the face of the people. Only when there is an event or festivals will the girl be dressed up in the finest dresses and hair ornaments to showcase was a 'compassion' and 'loving' the Leora house was.

But all of that change when she became the wife to the Duke of Erdune from the Northern continent. Like its name, the Duke was known for his ice cold gaze. Hair white as snow and eyes blue as the sky, he was given the nickname 'The Icy Duke'. Many try to paired the daughters with him; and many fail for the Duke was famous for his icy remarks.

Which, did left all of the female in tears by the end of the day. And surprisingly, Morana seems fine with it. As long as she escape from her family, she will be content with her position even if the Duke wanted to take in a lover or a mistress as well. If she was indeed a damned child, then might as well being pair up with the icy cold Duke.
