== Biography==
===Early Life===
Josefina was born to Connie Aulian de Poprhyropolis and Knarr Kyani on the island of Porphyropolis in the Amarillian region of Islas Doradas. Being the first child of the Amarillian Royal Family of de Porphyropolis born in decades, her life was threatened by citizens from the neighbouring nation of Pasifa. Amarillo and Pasifa were enemies during the Third Kelp War, a conflict over sea level that was coming to a close at the time of Josie's birth. During those times, she began spending time with her maternal grandparents, Soronaca and Delta, who were among the highest royals in the Drakesland.
After her birth, she was given the title of Princess as Connie de Porphyropolis was announced the Heir to the Amarillian Throne. Despite being a child growing up in a well liked royal family, her childhood years weren't all that pretty: Josie, at the age of three months old was kidnapped by a Pasifan who was later identified as Jom Jîri. Her father, Knarr Kyani also disappeared immediately after her birth. Josie would not met him until her early teens. As a child, she wrote letters to him with the help of her mother as soon as she learnt to read and write. She would experience several other kidnappings in her early childhood until finally being placed under protection by her grandparents after being found, by her mother, stranded in a tree in the Pasifan capital Suzukafun in the middle of the night.
Josie was homeschooled by her mother in Porphyropolis from a young age, primarily as a precaution of safety for Josefina's life. Despite this, she managed to learn a lot about Amarillo's history and politics through Soronaca.

===Parents===
From her birth, Josie never met her father, Knarr Kyani, due to him disappearing the same night of her birth until the age of thirteen, where, during a visit to Puerto Amarillo to visit her mother, she bumped into him into the street. His state was confused and violent, unable to remember that he'd had a daughter, instead looking for his long since dead son who'd been born years before Josie. However, her relationship with her mother was very close, never far behind one another and almost always seen together, from foreign diplomacy to the gardening of Hirane, a town located in modern day Aurica, which at the time was a part of the Amarillian Empire and of which Connie was the Mayor of. Growing more distant once Connie became Empress of Amarillo and spending less time together, Josie would never recover from the sudden death of her mother during the 2nd Amarillian Civil War after never being able to truly say goodbye face to face. 
===Grandparents ===
Josefina spent many occasions, especially during her childhood, with her loving grandparents in Porphyropolis; Soronaca de Porphyropolis and Delta Drake Canalopin. Delta was oddly friendly and playful with Josie, taking her to many places around the Drakesland: Boat trips from Porphyropolis to meet her mother in Hirane, or on even further travels to meet her Great Aunt Maria and her family in New Yoake, in the eastern Drakesland. Her relationship with her grandfather was similar. Soronaca was an avid writer and historian, and was keen on ensuring that the young princess was prepared for life, always sharing stories of Amarillo's history, as well as taking her to political events.
During the first few days of Josie's life, Soronaca was tasked with the duty to wash the young Josefina. Unable to find soap, he used a bottle of alcohol as a disinfectant. The infant proceeded to swallow some of the liquid, becoming violently sick for a few hours into life. After being scalded by his daughter Connie, Soronaca was restricted from washing the child, leaving that duty to Josie's mother and grandmother until she was old enough to wash herself.
Josie was also brought along to Soronaca's victory speech in the Pasifan capital of Suzukafun, at the end of the Third Kelp War. Soronaca suffered an assassination attempt when a Pasifan Nationalist tried to stab him on the stage, but was quickly scooped up by Delta. Josie was carried to safety, but remained in Pasifa under the protection of her grandparents, despite the risk of kidnapping increasing after the commotion, the combined combative skills of her grandparents put her in safe hands.
