Ilyana Warrick is the youngest child of Sir Aektor Warrick, lord of Settenhowe and the surrounding farmlands. Tall and dark-haired, she physically resembles the rest of her family, but doesn't otherwise have much in common with them. It's an open secret that she has a strained relationship with her parents, and much of what she does seems to be an attempt to rebel against them. She's rarely seen at Warrick House any more, preferring to spend most of her time in the village or roaming the countryside. She usually wears simple, well-worn clothes in some combination of black and dark brown, blue, or green, often looking more like a thief or vagabond than an aspiring noble lady. She's irreverent and sarcastic, loves to compete in footraces and acrobatic challenges, and spends most of her evenings drinking and gambling at the village tavern.

Despite all that, however, Ilyana's upbringing still shows through in various ways. She speaks with the clipped, high-born accent that the Warricks' personal tutor instilled in her, and when she acts, it's often with the unconscious assumption that others will follow. She can also be more than a little self-involved, and despite her belief that she's on the side of "the common people", she has no real idea of what it means to be poor. Nevertheless, her willingness to fight for those in need is genuine, as is her hatred of injustice, corruption, and greed. She's also always loyal to and protective of her friends, and whatever problems she has with her parents don't seem to extend to her siblings -- Ilyana likes to tease them, particularly Edmond, but when things turn serious, she would do anything for them.
