Dina Ephrata Niit n Taag (née Wythe; born in 1679) in a Shirerithian-born noblewoman, who since 1704 is the Countess Consort of Highpass (Passikraapin) through her marriage to Count Oze IV. In 1723 she was appointed Imperial Minister and Chamberlain of the Imperial Household.

Family

Dina belongs to the Imperial Bloodline and House of Wythe. Her great grandfather (paternal), Johnathan Nelson Wythe II (Kaiser Wythe) (1573–1591), reigned as Kaiser of Shireroth 1589–1591.

Her parents are Lord Chrysostom Wythe, Count of Woodshire (born 1607) and Winona Zell née Tomchin (born 1645). Winona was Chrysostom's second wife, though they divorced in 1701. Winona has since married Lord Feier Zell, a minor noble from northern Brookshire. Dina has four living siblings of which her brother Edan is her only full sibling. One further half-brother, Caspar, died during the Kalirion Fracture before Dina was born.

By marriage, she belongs to the House of Niit n Taag. She has a son, Ozymandias Jaas Peet Niit n Taag (born 24.XV.1704 AN), and two daughters, Isabella Novichoka Dina Niit n Taag (born 1707) and Kaja Alexandra Sepp Niit n Taag (born 1711).

Biography

Dina grew up in a sheltered existence in Shirekeep. Despite her father's renown, she did not engage much with Shirerithian society, preferring instead to study, read, and make art. She enrolled at Metzler University in 1697 to study in the prestigious Public Policy Program. A coursemate of Dina's, Teddie Lettice, and Dina herself were assigned to internships in the Ministry of State, the Office of the Steward and the Commission for the Fiscus. Dina's father entered into a relationship with Teddie, and subsequently divorced Dina's mother, and then wedded Teddie. Thus, Dina's coursemate Teddie became her stepmother. From that point onwards, Dina had to title her new stepmother Mother Teddie.

At her father's and stepmother's wedding in 1701, Dina was seated next to Oze IV, the young Count of Highpass. The two began courting, first secretly, before they began courting with their respective families permissions in 1702. Dina's father, Chrysostom, was initially quite reluctant to the marriage, feeling it was not "noble enough" for his daughter, but upon Highpass's independence as a sovereign county, he became more than enthusiastic. Thus, a wedding was organised sooner than initially expected for all parties involved, and Dina and Oze IV were happily wedded on 12.II.1704.
