Pennibelle Carbrady

Pennibelle Lothaen-Carbrady of the Noressen, Duchess of Welshire, is the wife of Garrimon Lothaen (King Beauregaerd's brother) making her Mikoa Lothaen's aunt. Mikoa admires Pennibelle for her confidence, unique appearance, earnest compassion, and the way in which she complements Garrimon.

House Carbrady
Pennibelle was born to a cadet line of House Carbrady of the Duchy of Welshire, in the Kingdom of Bruhinn. She inherited the title of Duchess as an adult. She is the only Noressen since the death of Neitsches the Conqueror to be head of a Bruhinnen royal family. Pennibelle focuses on serving Garrimon and House Lothaen, delegating her role as head of House Carbrady to her cousin Lorilaine.

Of the Noressen
Pennibelle is a direct descendant of Prince Roth of the Noressen, son of Neitsches the Conqueror, and therefore carries the titular suffix "of the Noressen." She has the striking features of a Norester -- tall, blonde, blue-eyed, and wide-shouldered. She regards her heritage as a matter of course, neither hiding it nor drawing attention to it.

Personality
Mikoa describes Pennibelle as sweet, gentle, earnest, and compassionate. Good with children, although she has no children of her own. Broad-shouldered, taller and heavier than most Bruhinnen, she carries herself confidently, but without condescension. Mikoa models much of her behavior as a Princess on Pennibelle, viewing her as a good example of humility and grace. When Mikoa goes into exile, she briefly considers taking the alias "Pennibelle" but decides not to.

Fate (Spoilers!)
In Book 1, Pennibelle disappears and is presumed dead during the fall of Snow Anchor.
