Dona Alejandra

Growing up with her grandmother, on the outskirts of Baron Alehandos estate (MODERN DAY Orreaga/Roncesvalles). She was born in 1742. Her mother died of childbed fever and her father left Alejandra in his mothers care. Whereabouts unknown.

The grandmother, Sofia, had a on-and-off feud with another local wise woman, Marta, for several years. They were best friends when they were children, but as they grew into young women they fell in love with the same man. He flirted with both and, unbeknownst to them, a third woman that he ended up marrying. Sofia and Marta blamed each other and thus the 50 year old feud started.

Growing up very rural, Alejandra spent most of her days outside in the forest, with animals and in nature. Sofia taught her the ways of medicinal herbs, how to care for nature and the animals, and how to survive on the "larder from the forest".

Personality and looks

Alejandra is modest, but not overly reserved or shy. She often talks softly and uses a restrained body language, and generally exhibits a gentle and unassuming / understated demeanour, avoiding attention or drawing undue focus on herself. She is, by many, considered to be graceful, charming, polite and refined.

Alejandra is turning into a very beautiful young woman, according to the beauty standards of the time.

She has a unblemished, naturally fair complexion that exudes a sense of purity and refinement. Her complexion would have been highly prised and admired, the look that most women tried to achieve using cosmetics. She is also starting to develop a fuller figure with a well-proportioned body shape (curves in all the right places! Ample bosom, rounded hips, and soft, rounded features).

Her face is heart-shaped with soft and rounded facial features, that conveys a sense of femininity and grace, and a softly rounded chin and cheeks that gave her a youthful and pleasing appearance. She has brown eyes are one of her most captivating features, being large and expressive, sparkling with intelligence and emotion. Her eyes are framed by long, dark lashes, which enhances their beauty and depth. Her eyebrows are naturally elegantly arched and well-defined, framing her eyes and adding to their allure. Her lips are full and well-defined, with a natural, rosy hue that hints at her vitality and health. Her lips are soft and inviting, adding to her overall allure and feminine charm. Her nose is straight and graceful, with a subtle curve that complemented the rest of her facial features. Her nose is neither too prominent nor too small, but rather perfectly proportioned to her face.

Her hair is brown and comes to about her shoulders (currently). It is lustrous with a healthy shine. Long hair was often associated with femininity and beauty during this period, and women would have taken great care to maintain the length and condition of their hair. Her hair texture is lightly wavy, with a natural softness and silkiness that adds to its appeal. The prevailing fashion of the time often favoured straighter styles that were easier to manage and style into elaborate up-dos. But most of the time Alejandra's hair it is adorned with ribbons and / or feathers.

The Estates Economy

The estates of Don Alehandro

The real was the currency of the time and was made out of silver.

1 peso = 8 reales.

1 real = In rural areas, 1 real were sufficient to purchase basic food such as a loaf of bread, a pound of rice or beans, or a few eggs. It was also sufficient to pay for local services (a haircut, a shoeshine, or a ride in a horse-drawn carriage for short distances). It was also enough to purchase a small quantity of tobacco or alcohol (a few cigars or a measure of wine or spirits). It was also enough to buy common household items (candles, soap, matches or cooking utensils).

1 cuarto = 1/4th of a real. Used for smaller transactions and a common denomination in everyday commerce.

1 maravedí = The smallest denomination of currency in Spain and was often used for small transactions. It was subdivided into smaller units called "maravedíes".


(From ChatGTP: Some historical sources suggest that the average annual income of a peasant in 18th-century Spain may have ranged from a few dozen to a few hundred (50-200) reales per year, depending on their circumstances. However, it's important to recognize that this estimate is highly speculative. It depended on various factors such as the size of the landholding and the productivity of the land. Overall, peasants in 18th-century Spain were likely to have earned incomes that provided for their basic needs but may have struggled to achieve financial security or prosperity, especially given the prevalence of subsistence farming and the limited opportunities for economic advancement in rural areas.)
