|aliases=Menisi the Watchful

|first appearance={{chl|Vernoue (Pt. 1)}}}}

==Appearance==

She has "dark, coal blue" eyes and bright red hair. Her face is described as "severe," and similar to her mother [[Ielane du Marquin|Ielane]], though while Ielane's is warlike, Menisi is cold.  

==Personality==

Menisi is the black sheep of the family. After trying to murder Ielane, she was disavowed and no longer seen at court.<ref name=":0">{{VERef|10.00 L}}</ref> Described to have an obsession with things that went beyond mere ‘scandalous’, past ‘depraved’, and into horrific,<ref name=":Perspective & Past">{{chl|Perspective and Past}}</ref> Menisi possesses a brilliant mind twisted toward indulgence and manipulation. She cheats on her husband openly and indiscriminately, taking both male and female lovers from any status or station. She delights in flaunting each affair in [[Naodin|Naodin's]] face, relishing his fury—and the inevitable attempts he makes to try and kill her lovers.  

==Background ==

Though she was known to fight with her mother, her sharp mind meant she was considered for inheriting the throne over her older sister [[Shardele du Marquin|Shardele]]. Driven by her interest in divination and fortune-telling, Menisi sought out [[Rastandius]], the greatest [Soothsayer] in the world, in hopes of glimpsing the future. The [Soothsayer] offered her a way—through a potion known as the Faye’s Eyes. When the [Princess] drank half of it, she was overwhelmed by visions of countless futures in which her mother brought misery to every one of her children. After forcing Rastandius to flee, Menisi plotted [[Ielane du Marquin|Ielane's]] murder, but was caught by Dame [[Vensha]]. Within the month, she was forced to marry Grand Duke Naodin of Nomaudrel.<ref name=":1">{{VERef|Vernoue (Pt. 1)}}</ref>  

After the skirmish between [[Ailendamus]] and [[Erribathe]] ended, the two [Princesses] enter [[Nuvityn|Nuvityn's]] court to ask permission of [[Tserre Ettertree|Tserre]] for tutelage for Vernoue with the [[Half-Elf]] refusing. On the last moments of Vernoue's test, Menisi strong-armed Ielane with the rest of the [[House Marquin]] members to help Vernoue in the way only Ielane can.<ref>{{chl|Vernoue (Pt. 2)}}</ref>
