Deneva Lowell

Deneva Lowell, Lady of Bryne (138 BU) is a princess from the House of Magi who married Edwyn Iryre, Lord of Bryne. Originally, their marriage was arranged by her adoptive father, Rothard Lowell, however it wasn't long before Edwyn fell fatally ill and perished shortly after. In 118 BU Bryne, without a legal heir and his relatives Orthel and Adling having declared they would not claim the realm, was passed onto Deneva, who became the regent Lady of Bryne. She is regarded as having an unnatural elegance unlike many of her people.

Etymology
There is debate about the meaning of Deneva's many names. 'Deneva' is not actually a Moorish word where she is from, nor does it have meaning in Brythonian. It resembles the Moorish name 'Devana,' which means 'mother of the forest,' or a less common term 'Odene,' meaning 'mother of fire.' It is believed she changed her name to conform more with the cultures of Brythonia upon her marriage.

Her name was not always Deneva Lowell. Before, she is presumed to have been known as Devana Magi. When she was adopted into the House of Lowell, her name was changed accordingly to Deneva Lowell; she lost the Magi surname upon entering Brythonian society, but still held the prestige of her noble birth. When she married Edwyn Iryre, she did not take his last name, as Rothard Lowell believed it best to show off the House of Lowell's newest accomplishment.
