AGE Twenty-Four
GENDER Female; she/her pronouns
BLOOD TYPE Sweet Green Tea
NATIONALITY Hua'mu; The Drink Empire
OCCUPATION Princess; The eldest daughter of the Emperor of Hua'mu
SEXUALITY Asexual; Panromantic
SPEECH COLOR #7FC269

PERSONALITY
+ Sanguine + Eloquent + Diplomatic
- Machiavellian - Idealistic - Aloof

STRENGTHS
Minagi is well trained in martial arts by the best tutors that her father could employ. Her knowledge of the use of polearms is nearly unmatched by those in Hua'mu. She is a diplomat, and prefers to solve disagreements through diplomatic means rather than the use of unnecessary fighting. Words are strong weapons, and she likes to think herself an eloquent person.

WEAKNESSES
Machiavellian to her core, Minagi is very cunning and ambitious; she is willing to manipulate and exploit others to achieve the goals that she has for Hua'mu. A bit of an idealist, she often times worries too much about the little things that she loses sight of the big picture.

APPEARANCE
A tall woman who carries herself with the poise of someone of royal blood. She oftentimes wears her platinum colored hair pinned away from her almond-shaped hazel eyes or in a loose fishtail braid.

5'8 │ 173 cm
HAIR COLOR │ BLONDE

150 lbs │ 68 kg
EYE COLOR │ HAZEL; brown flecked with green

PREFERENCES
+ Cats
+ Naps
+ Books/Reading
+ Polearms
+ Hot beverages

- Suitors
- Children
- Physical touch
- Vegetables
- Bitter tea

BIOGRAPHY
The first born daughter of the Emperor of Hua'mu, she has been raised with a certain amount of privilege. She's never wanted for anything as her father was willing to grant her her whatever she wanted within reason. From the moment she turned sixteen, he attempted to present her with suitors- thus far, she was able to turn them all away or scare them off by playing pranks on them. She was far more interested in building Hua'mu in her own vision- without the corrupt advisors. She wants to keep their borders open rather than have them remain closed as they've been for the past several hundred years. She wants Hua'mu to catch up with the other nations in terms of technology so that they don't fall too far behind.

TRIVIA
- Her favorite game to play with suitors is to tell them that the only way that she will marry them is if they catch the feral cat with the key around its neck and bring her the key.
- She cannot swim and has a fear of large bodies of water that she can't see the bottom of
- Marriage is low on her list of goals as her love is for her people and her kingdom.

Hanne loves chocolate to the point where she has secret stashes when she gets stressed out. Given the chance, she can and will make herself sick from eating it.

She has daily night-terrors where she wakes up screaming and drenched in a cold sweat from the abuse she suffered as a child from the maid that was tasked to watch over her. The same maid that allowed the original princess to drown.
It is not common knowledge to anyone but Hanne and the maid that she does not truly have royal blood.
She likes to play pranks on those around her- especially the lesser nobles and her siblings.
Hanne is terrified of the dark. Though for her, it's less about the dark, and more about what might be in the dark that she cannot see.
She loves having her hair played with or brushed. Hanne herself loves being touched and given affection by those close to her. She will not hesitate to give Willa or her other friends any PDA if she feels it necessary.

“The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work!”

NAME: Eulalia Sideris
NICKNAMES: Lalia, Lally
AGE: 21
GENDER: Female
BLOOD TYPE: Cheesecake
NATIONALITY: An’elle ; Kingdom of Sweets
OCCUPATION: Inventor / Engineer
SEXUALITY: Asexual / Panromantic
SPEECH COLOR: #FF618C

HAIR COLOR │ Strawberry Red
EYE COLOR │ Jade Green
HEIGHT │ 5’1”
WEIGHT │ 120 lbs.

APPEARANCE:
Eulalia is–at first glance–a small, sweet-looking woman. Her wardrobe when out & about ranges from formal business attire to fancier skirts and dresses. She always wears a metal chained pocketwatch–one that she handmade herself. Occasionally she will mix and match some of her other metallic trinkets or custom jewelry into her outfits. Her attire is the complete opposite when working, where she wears anything easier to move in and nothing that has any long or hanging pieces that could get caught up in the machinery.

Although lacking in height, her body is relatively toned due to the physical work she does on a daily basis. She keeps her hair short, never quite reaching her shoulders, in order for her to work safely, though she still tends to tie it back & out of the way anyway. She is hereditarily fair-skinned, but occasionally tans lightly from working outdoors.

PERSONALITY:
Curious Intellectual Kind-Hearted
Peaceful Sensible Hard-working
Determined Outspoken Excitable Stubborn

HOBBIES:
Reading Studying Exercising
Experimenting Discussing ideas

SPECIAL SKILLS:
Woodworking Metalworking
Blacksmithing Steamwork

STRENGTHS:
Eulalia has always had a high sense of self-esteem, not letting others’ thoughts about her affect her feelings or hinder her wants. She has become very good at physical work, as it is important for her trade. Artistic skills have also been something she has excelled at, and continues to use to this day; drawing blueprints, designing projects, etc. Eulalia has learned a lot from taking things apart and putting them back together, as well as failed past projects–she sees them as learning experiences and enjoys the puzzle-solving aspects of it all.

WEAKNESSES:
Eulalia tends to put her work before anything else. This sometimes leads to her forgetting to take proper care of herself when she gets too indulged in a new project, and has led to her growing ill in the past. Her eagerness to share her work can cause her to talk continuously, which some may consider an annoyance. This also makes it hard for her to approach anyone, as she doesn't always know what to talk about besides work. She doesn’t pay much attention to politics, despite how much she likes to speak with those from other nations, so she tends to be behind the times with current events.

LIKES:
Machinery Traveling Sightseeing
Praise Pastries Pastel colors
Puzzles Dancing

DISLIKES:
Hot weather Spicy food Rust
Unfair treatment Politics
Being restricted Disappointing others

BIOGRAPHY:
Eulalia was raised in a high-class family, but one that had earned its status through the work done by her father, Ergon Sideris’ craftsmanship. He ran a successful business chain of different types of crafts: woodwork, weaponsmithing, jewelry making and the like, which brought in a hearty income for his family. Lalia’s mother, Nidia Sideris, took care of the paperwork and dealing with people, especially when making sales. She was the people-person of the family.

Lalia watched both of her parents closely, learning specific skills from each of them. Although initially her mother wanted for her to follow in her own footsteps–to be like the other noble women and one day take her spot–she could tell that her daughter was taking more of a liking to the physical work and the creations of her father. Thus she allowed Lalia to begin learning the same skills once she was old enough. Eulalia had no issue with playing the part of a lady, and would still follow her mother’s lessons. After all, she liked that part too. But she truly wished to work, and to create.

The young crafter studied hard in school in order to better understand the trade she was getting into. Lalia would always make her way to the top of her class, no matter the subject. She was soon well-known amongst the kids as the girl who was breaking an archetype; and the other, more lady-like girls would tend to tease her for choice of career. None of this ever seemed to bother Eulalia. She was strong-willed and kept her mind set on her dreams. Although, this led to it being hard for her to stop talking about them when she actually did meet someone who was genuinely interested in her or her work.

Years & years of practicing and experimenting honed Lalia’s skills enough for her to join her father on business trips to sell their creations to the surrounding nations. Earning her own money, and establishing a name for herself, she soon branched off to open her own workshop within the city, where she continues to spread the good name of the Sideris family’s work. She has taken a liking to the traveling part of the job as well, and focuses a lot on those business trips to take their inventions around the world. Eulalia also uses this as an opportunity to learn about the technology from other areas to mix with her own, as well as figuring out each nation’s needs and how she could make something to help them.

TRIVIA:
Eulalia has forged a range of weapons and occasionally likes to try sparring with them to learn how to use them. She has taken a liking to the rapier.
Although she is very work-focused, she still tends to have a soft spot for anything cute and pretty.

Calligraphy is one of his greatest passions
His pursuit for knowledge and literature is seemingly unmatched. He loves learning about history and other cultures.
He is a well traveled individual- having documented the people from the other kingdoms in his journey across the world with the man who trained him.

His attitude sometimes gets him into trouble. He's very prideful of his work sometimes to the point of arrogance.
He's weak to a pretty face regardless of their sex. Though women in pursuit of him will fluster him. Men are easy for him to understand and charm, but women are a different story.
His organization skills are lacking. His library is kept neat and orderly, but his personal living space is the exactly opposite.

- Ruined books/scrolls

- Uncertainty He doesn't like not knowing what or how to act or do. He's very rarely been unsure of himself to be put into this situation, and so it makes him uncomfortable to be put in the hot seat.

Sen practices calligraphy everyday to the point where he has near permanent ink stains on his palms and fingers.
He's a firm believer that cats are better than people, and will sometimes go out of his way to push people away.
Both he and his sister were sold by their parents into a form of slavery, and one of his main goals in life is to reconnect with the girl that he's not seen in years. He was sent to a red-light district, and she was sent to become a geisha in training.
He was raised in a red-light district that specialized in both male and female entertainers, and he was a popular entertainer after coming of age.
His love of poetry and calligraphy came from the many men that courted him and paid for his company. After he was released from his contract after being injured, he sought out a profession where he could be around the things that he loved most.
He walks with a slight limp from his injury during a practice for a dance. He fell, and was unable to continue performing.
In his personal room, he still has the trinkets and gifts given to him in his time that he worked as a courtesan.

NAME Caslan Fang
AGE Twenty-Four
GENDER Male
BLOOD TYPE Piña Colada
NATIONALITY Hua'mu; The Drink Empire
OCCUPATION Noble; Knight
SEXUALITY Unlabeled; Sexual
SPEECH COLOR #6373D8

PERSONALITY
+ Adaptable + Protective + Charming
- Guarded - Hard-Headed - Self-Doubting

STRENGTHS
Caslan is the epitome of caring and selfless. Some may not see these things as a strength, but he certainly does. He will always do his best to do right by the people he cares for and those he serves. He strives to do his very best at absolutely everything when he knows others are watching him.

Having started his training at a young age, Caslan is a skilled martial artist. His abilities earned him a place among the royal guard, though not in a high enough position that anyone should know his name. He is incredibly physically strong and employs a bo staff most efficiently of any other weapon. His style of fighting is very blunt, as his size makes it difficult for him to be terribly agile.

Perhaps his greatest strength is his ability to switch off his emotions, rendering him incredibly intimidating. It's not something he likes to do, but Caslan certainly understands that some situations call for it. He has been used more than once for window dressing, made to accompany a party simply to stand there and look large, dissuading anyone from trying their luck.

WEAKNESSES
As much as he tries not to, Caslan wears his heart on his sleeve. He allows his emotions to get the best of him, which has gotten him into trouble more than he'd like to admit. He can't just stand by and let something happen that he doesn't agree with. As a man, he feels it's his duty. As a knight, he's expected to do as he's told. It's a wonder he has yet to be stripped of that title.

Caslan has a weakness for physical attraction. He is extremely flirtatious and often finds himself giving in to his urges, despite knowing he probably shouldn't. Few things matter to him in this realm. All he cares about is whether or not he is attracted to an individual. It can certainly get in the way of his work at times.

When it comes to his younger sister Sindia, he is extremely overprotective. They've both been through so much already in their lives. Caslan can't stand the thought of his sister experiencing more heartache. She is the most important person in his life and the only one he shares his heart with. She is the only one he can trust.

APPEARANCE
Caslan is a sight to behold. He is big and imposing, having filled out in his later teenage years. The training he underwent made his muscles hard and seemingly carved from stone. His service to royalty has also left him marred. He bears a scar across his left cheek and around the right side of his neck that he will wear for life. His dark brown eyes and sun kissed skin contrast his stark white hair, a trademark of his family.

6'7" 200 cm
HAIR COLOR WHITE

295 lbs 134 kg
EYE COLOR DARK BROWN

PREFERENCES
+ Comfortable Silences
+ Night Time
+ Big Meals
+ Swimming
+ Sindia

- Mice and Rats
- Peppermint
- Assholes
- Getting Flustered
- Family

BIOGRAPHY
Caslan doesn't remember his parents. His mother died giving birth to his younger sister Sindia, and his father left shortly after in a fit of heartbreak induced insanity. With their absence, Caslan and his sister were left in the care of their maternal grandfather, and Caslan's namesake. Once a caring man, the loss of his daughter and only child turned him bitter and cold. He blamed Sindia for his loss, despite her being only a child. The older they grew, the worse it became. One step out of line would be answered with mental and physical abuse. Sindia was worthless, Caslan was useless, and neither of them was fit to have the family name.

Caslan did his best to protect Sindia. Even at a young age he tried desperately to keep her innocent of the horrors that their grandfather wished to inflict. Unfortunately, he was too small, too weak. He couldn't truly do anything to the brute of a man he had been named for. And so they endured him until Caslan was 12, when the old man passed in the night. Simultaneously Caslan was free of his tyranny and thrust into the seat of the Fang family. Many distant relatives attempted from the day of the funeral to refute Caslan's claim to the title and estate, but none succeeded in anything more than pushing him away from the concept of family as a whole.

In an effort to better protect himself and his sister, Caslan put more emphasis on his basic martial arts training. He wanted to know all he could that might keep them safe. He found that he had a knack for fighting and gave himself over to the life of guarding Hua'mu from all that might threaten it. When he suddenly grew into a pillar of a man, he was placed as security in the palace itself, where he has served ever since.

TRIVIA
- He experiences a fair amount of aches and pains due to his size. Swimming and floating weightlessly in water is the only thing that relieves it entirely.
- Caslan murdered his grandfather, a secret not even Sindia knows the truth of.

NAME Prince Azen Margeux
AGE Twenty-One
GENDER Male
BLOOD TYPE Carrot
NATIONALITY The Vegetable Kingdom
OCCUPATION Youngest Prince
SEXUALITY Homosexual
SPEECH COLOR #FFC23E

PERSONALITY
+ Kind + Easy-Going + Loving
- Irresponsible - Air-Headed - Gullible

STRENGTHS
If anything can be said about Azen, it's that he knows how to have fun. In fact, it's his first priority at any and all times. All he wants to do is enjoy himself, no matter what that means. It could be a late night spent lying in bed with a good book or a day of running around in common clothes so he isn't recognized. Azen knows how to blend in no matter where he goes.

Although his tendencies are often irrational, the one thing he believes in most is true love. He dreams of it in vivid color and puts his heart fully into any of his relationships. To be loved by Azen, whether platonically or romantically, is to know what it is to be love. He is an incredibly passionate boy ready to lay the world at someone's feet if that's what it takes.

Azen also possesses the ability to talk himself out of just about any situation. Whether it is the gift of persuasion, because he's a prince, or because people just get tired of dealing with him has yet to be fully determined. But Azen likes to think he has a silver tongue that keeps him out of the trouble he should be getting in.

Something very few people know about is Azen's impecable singing voice. If he hadn't been born into a royal family, he would have certainly become a traveling bard by now, traversing the lands to bring people tales by song.

WEAKNESSES
Azen is, without a doubt, hopelessly careless. This is especially true when it comes to his princely duties, which he believes to be a farce. He would much rather be galavanting through a forest than learning how to fence. His carelessness also applies to his heart, with which he is incredibly reckless. Azen has a tendency to throw himself into every situation, making it difficult to backtrack when things go wrong.

It's no secret that the young prince can get a little bit difficult to handle. Either he is unaware or just ignores the fact that many people find him an annoyance, rolling their eyes when they see him approach. His lively demeanor can be a bit hard to deal with. Many would rather avoid him altogether.

Azen's refusal to take anything seriously gets him into hot water more often than he would like. Giving off the appearance of the perpetual jester certainly gets tiring to those around him. He can be exhausting at his worst, but he seemingly refuses to change.

APPEARANCE
Azen Margeux is fairly petite for a boy of his age. He has no real muscle to speak of, as he spends most of his time goofing off. His lovely orange hair has been the envy of many. It is matched by bright blue eyes and the winning smile of a prince. Azen prefers comfortable clothes to those designated for him and can often be found running about in a simple shirt and trousers, foregoing shoes altogether.


5'7" 170 cm
HAIR COLOR Orange

135 lbs 61 kg
EYE COLOR Blue

PREFERENCES
+ Going Barefoot
+ Good Conversation
+ Sweets
+ Singing
+ Cute Boys

- Responsibility
- Being Yelled At
- Snakes
- Locked Doors
- Getting Bored

BIOGRAPHY
There was never a boy who wanted to be prince less than Azen Margeux. Okay... it wasn't that he didn't want to be a prince, it was just that he never saw the point of the charade his family put up. From a young age he realized that his father didn't have any true power. He would sit and agonize over whether or not his ideas would be approved. Who ever heard of a king that needed approval? And yet he asked Azen and his other children to carry on their responsibilities and duties. They were the face of the kingdom, after all, and had to make a good showing.

No thank you.

When Azen discovered ways of slipping out of the palace and away from his guards, all hope was lost. No matter how hard they tried to contain the young prince, his antics continued. His father appealed to him time and time again. He may not be the heir to the throne, but he still yet bore the Margeux name and he should act like it. When scolding failed, bribery was attempted. When Azen continued to act out, bribery turned to pleading. That only lasted one instant before locks and extra guards were employed to keep Azen under control. It wasn't long, however, before he was out once more. At that point, his father gave up on him completely.

Azen's infamy is known throughout the vegetable kingdom. Gossip of the young prince's fun turned into a favorite topic, no matter how the crown tried to hush it up.

"I met him in a bar and he gambled with me on an arm-wrestling competition."

"I swear I saw him racing horses bareback in the countryside. He's the red-headed one, right?"

"Of course you don't believe me, but I'm telling you, I've kissed the prince."

Not every story was true, though most of them were. Azen's number one priority was always to have a good time, whatever that meant for him at the time. It wasn't until recently that his father shoved responsibility down his throat once more. Despite his image, Azen was to attend the ball in Hua'mu in the name of their family. He claimed the rest of them were far too busy, but Azen knew the truth of it. The only reason he was being sent to fraternize with the enemy was because he was expendable. No one in his home land, least of all his father, would care very deeply should he never return. It was probably the jury's idea to try to get rid of him. They had all the real power anyway.

Azen departed the vegetable kingdom with an entourage of guards and his father's veiled threats to behave himself. In his mind, this was just another adventure. Should he be imprisoned or killed in the process, then so be it.

TRIVIA
- Azen, though flirtatious, has never slept with anyone. Rumors to the contrary are numerous and totally false. Not that he does much to argue them.
- Azen is quite claustrophobic.
- His best friend is his horse Umbra. He doesn't have any true human friends to speak of.

S K I L L S
Crafting: Reya is very good with her hands due to years of creating jewelry for her families merchant shop. She is usually able to pick up any sort of crafting fairly quickly.
Actress: She's fantastic at letting herself fall into a character role who is nothing like her true self. She thanks her mother for this skill, though at times she could consider it a weakness. Being a good liar isn't something she's particularly proud of and this "skill" can sometimes get her into trouble.
People Person: She's charismatic and can get on the good side of most people.


W E A K N E S S
Tease: Though she has fun flirting, she often doesn't know what to do when someone returns her advances. When they do she withdraws and becomes rather shy and will freeze up. Most people shy away from her boldness so she doesn't deal with this often, but some people will catch her off guard. She has only ever had one genuine relationship.
Fighting: She is not one for physical combat as her mother sheltered her from most things that would have given her chance at self defense.
Letting Go: It feels difficult to be herself. She can't seem to let go of the act that she's been holding up for so long. Putting her walls down and letting someone know her true self feels impossible.

T R I V I A
Reya actually has a nice singing voice, though she doesn't like to show it off.
Her only true romantic relationship was with her best friend, a female whom she has not seen since being sold off to the chieftain.





B I O G R A P H Y
Reya grew up with what she believed to be an average life. Born as a middle child, the only female, to a family of merchants. Her father would spend much of his time away in search of rare gemstones to bring back to her mother who would then turn the gemstones into beautiful jewelry. For many years this was the main source of their income. Her mother worked diligently while their father was away and much of the parenting would end up falling onto her eldest siblings shoulders. Over time Reya would learn to help her mother in creating and selling jewelry while the boys would get to spend time away on adventures with their father. Reya became increasingly envious of this year after year. Unfortunately, due to Reya being the only female child, her mother sheltered her from any sort of danger, much to Reya's dismay. Having grown up with two brothers, Reya was a tomboy at heart and she wanted to play like one of the boys; do what the boys were allowed to do. Nonetheless, her mother forbid anything of the sort.

When gemstones became harder to come by, Reya's mother began to train Reya on a new form of income; fortune telling. At their merchant stall, Reya was expected to play the part of a seer for weary travelers to get their fortune told and convince them that it was true. This new lot in life was placed upon her due to a certain allure Reya had about her. A certain aura that most people felt when they were around her which her mother explained as her bloodline brilliantly showing through; the aphrodisiac pomegranate. Reya easily fell into this role, getting better with each traveler. At her core, she just wanted to make her family happy and proud.

Sadly that could never be; Reya had become a source of tension between her parents. As she grew in age, Reya looked less and less like her father or her brothers. She had traits that no one could explain, like her blue eyes. Her father began to doubt her mother's faithfulness, often interrogating her upon his return from one of his "business trips." Her mother had always swore that Reya was his child no matter how many explosive arguments they got in. Reya believed her, though her fathers doubt hurt. The rift between them only got wider as Reya grew older and her father became colder, more distant. It was as if he knew something that she did not.

Six months ago her entire life got turned upside down. Her mother had boasted to her about the Chieftain wanting to meet with them. It was supposed to be so that he could buy their goods, as he was clearly impressed with their families work. Reya was ecstatic. The Chieftain giving attention to their little family business would bring in so many new customers! Her family wouldn't have to ration so much once that happened!

It was all a lie. The goods, it turned out, was Reya. As her mother and the chieftain spoke, Reya learned about her true past. She was not her fathers child, but instead the child of someone her mother had met in the kingdom of An'ell. One of their enemies. She was a hybrid bloodline of Pomegranate and Chocolate. Two aphrodisiacs, her mother made sure to note to the chieftain who was looking for a new wife to bear him many children. Reya couldn't believe what she was hearing. Times were hard, but how could her mother be offering up her daughters life as if she meant nothing? Was this the plan from the moment she was conceived? Reya had frozen in panic, unable to say anything as she tried to process what was happening. Before she could even react, her mother accepted the Chieftains large sum of money in exchange for Reya becoming his new wife; his property.

That was the last day she has seen any of her family members. It was a difficult transition to live with the chieftain; she spent many nights sobbing to herself. Today, she is still rather uncomfortable in the chieftains household but she plays the role as well as she can for her own safety. When the opportunity of a masquerade ball came around Reya sprung into action and offered to escort the Chieftains children to the ball. Luckily for her, he accepted. Perhaps he wouldn't have if she hadn't played the wife role so well.

BIOGRAPHY
Tatiana is the daughter and second child of a major noble in Starch- one with large tracts of land and massive amounts of money and influence. The Barinova household is an influential household in Starch, and Tatiana has been expected to act the part for most of her life. She was mostly raised as a noble child is. Anything she could possibly want was given to her. When she found her love for horses, she was taught to ride properly and bought several beautiful horses and tack. She was raised in luxury, and only had to play the part of noble for most of her life. And she did, and it was done well. Nowadays, Tatiana is expected to make a good wife to a Starch nobleman- maybe even a foreign or domestic royal. She's well-bred enough for it.

However, much of her childhood is shrouded in secrecy. Tatiana is an illegitimate daughter. Her mother is the duchess, that much is true. However, her father is an indentured servant on a farm somewhere in Starch. She doesn't know who or where her father is, only that he is not a noble and that, in turn, makes Tatiana not a true noble either. This was revealed to Tatiana when she was twelve. Her father had gotten angry at her one day and told her that she was not his true child. Tearfully, she went to her mother and demanded an explanation. Apparently, in a rash decision, her mother had had relations with a servant father. It was a foolish decision, she explained, but one that had produced her. Tatiana's 'father' realized that the baby his wife was pregnant with was not hers shortly after, but they resolved to disguise it as a legitimate noble instead of sullying their family reputation. Of course, things were never the same between the two again, but they managed it. There are only extremely unfounded rumors floating around about Tatiana being illegitimate- due to silly reasons, such as how her father treats her with coldness, and how her eyes don't quite match either of her parents.

Being told that she was not in fact a noble upset Tatiana extremely. Yet, for some reason, instead of even further encompassing herself in noble life, she began to rebel. She learned how to sneak around, how to lie and manipulate. She started by pulling mischief around the estate, but realized her heart wasn't in pranking. So, she began to sneak out. She socialized with servants, went into the local village on her lonesome. She quickly learned how to masquerade as someone she wasn't, to flirt. And she found that she liked peasants. Since she, a girl who was supposed to be perfect all the time, wasn't a true noble, what did it matter? She made fast friends with many of the other teenagers around town, and got up to varying amounts of mischief with them. It was fun. She hadn't quite realized how restrictive noble life was, how much she had been expected to do and say and maneuver around. Of course, she still loved some aspects of her life- privilege made her a happy girl. She loved to ride horses, something that wasn't commonplace among peasants. But more than that freedom, it taught her something.

Life wasn't fair. Peasants were treated radically different than nobles were in Starch. Peasants were forced to slave away on farms and do the work of the nobility for them, while they simply sat in their estates and profited from it. Tatiana, although raised a noble, was disgusted by this realization. Of course, she had known that this was happening her whole life, but it was suddenly real to her. She wasn't quite a noble but not quite a peasant, either, and the polarization between the two lives came clearly to her. So she resolved to someday do something about it. Someday. When she could.

As she got older, her nighttime sneaking out got less and less. Her mother and father were starting to expect more of her. They began preparing for a marriage, to be a wife and a mother. She didn't really enjoy this. After secretly enjoying her freedom for a few years, she was loathe to give it up to become what someone else expected of her. She still had her dreams of freedom for everyone- and that included herself. As her nighttime sneaking out decreased, it also became more important when she did it. Led by her friends in town, she joined a group of sorts. A militarized group of Starch peasants. They were angry, and sought justice and equality for the people of Starch. They wanted to overthrow the government. At first, Tatiana thought this idea ridiculous. But as she continued to attend the secret meetings, she started to sympathize.

Then, about two years ago, an actual revolution did happen in Starch. The militia was excited by this- they thought everything could change! There would be equality, freedom for all. But that did not happen. Rather, the new king killed many nobles who sympathized with the old king. The Barinovas themselves narrowly avoided execution by pledging fealty to the new king and offering up much of their wealth to them as a gesture of good faith. The new king didn't make things better for the peasants of Starch, and the revolutionary group that Tatiana had fallen into was angry. And Tatiana found herself angry, as well.

Shortly after, she revealed her true identity to the leaders of this group. She narrowly avoided being murdered by pledging her fealty to their cause. As they had been seeking out spies and noble influence, they reluctantly accepted her help. She's mostly done small things for them since- telling them information they would otherwise not know, helping to plant spies in noble households across Starch, and more. Recently, her family received an invitation to a masquerade ball in the Drink Empire. Her parents were planning on turning down the invitation, as they are too busy to go and her older brother is too busy as well, but Tatiana volunteered to go as a representative for her family. She has ulterior motives, of course- the militia wants her to spy for them at this masquerade. And she will.

TRIVIA

Tatiana has a mild allergy to tree nuts.
She has three siblings, all legitimate. There is Viktor (25), her eldest brother and the heir to the Barinova lands; Nikolay (17), her younger brother; and Ekaterina (15), her littlest sister.
She has many prospective husbands lined up, but tries to avoid the topic of marriage as much as she can. Her priorities lie elsewhere, such as in revolution.
