Alusair Obarskyr

Alusair Nacacia Obarskyr (the Steel Regent) is the princess and regent of the kingdom of Cormyr, and the youngest child of the late king Azoun IV and queen Filfaeril. Alusiar leads Cormyr as its regent (she is unofficially called the Steel Regent) for her infant nephew, Azoun V. She plans to rebuild Cormyr and regain the realm's status as the leading power in the region. Her first concerns are raising morale and reconstructing the army. As regent, she tries to keep Cormyr fully independent, by fighting attempts to influence her country's policy and economy made by agents of its neighbors, Sembia and Westgate. She is advised by Vangerdahast, who also advised her father.

Appearance
Alusair has ash-blonde hair and oak-brown eyes.

Personality
Alusair was known to have heated political arguments with her father which would involve throwing plates and goblets. She initally had no desire to be the Queen of Cormyr. She confesses to wanting Brace Skatterhawk as a lover, but due to the likelihood of him being a son of Azoun IV this would not be proper.

Background
Princess Alusair spent most of her life adventuring in the Rocklands, together with a group of knights of noble descent. She proved to be an excellent tactician with superior fighting skills and was nicknamed the Steel Princess.

Possessions
In her left boot, Alusair keeps a dagger with a large blue-green jewel at the pommel, which acts against magical attacks from her enemies. Alusair has a hollow metal sphere that, upon spoken command, can transform into a key to unlock a secret vault in the depths of the royal palace. It is one of only five, the others possessed by the king, queen, Vangerdahast and Alusair's sister, princess Tanalasta. Alusair uses a sword in combat, and keeps another smaller court sword in her saddle when riding.
