====== Duchess Karla Velasquez-D'Artois ======
A younger sister of Duke Karl D'Artois, Karla was married to Duke-Apparent Piera Velasquez as part of a peace treaty with the White City. Since the marriage Piera has been officially recognised as Duke and head of the Velasquez family. He has also been showing substantially more political acumen then he ever did previously, no-one is under any illusions that this new found competence is coming from anywhere but his new wife.

In addition to her marriage, the treaty with the White City also required a Port-Appointed tutor for [[gm:de_courci#Lady Eleanor De Courci|Lady Eleanor De Courci]], the position of which Karla has also been fulfilling.

Other than these facts, very little is known of the Duchess. She has very pale almost porcelain skin, and has not been seen to talk in the presence of others.
