==Overview==
Born in 1800 as a successful clone of an ancient Dralkyria. Seldragia was Project Dralkyria's only living subject that matched all criteria set by the project to become the next ruler of the Dragoian Empire.
She was adopted by King Bles II under the name Seldragia, receiving only the occasional visit from her adopted father and staying confined to Project Dralkyria's facility until 1815, when she was let out of the facility she was created in to train at the Imperial Military Academy alongside Project Dralkyria's two other official survivors. She would be trained at the IMA for the standard 10 years with frequent inspection visits from her adopted Father, who would often give her special tuition during these visits on how to rule as well as the inner workings of House Bles.
In 1825, King Bles II officially dropped himself from the role of King, passing the control of the Empire to Seldragia instead of one of his numerous sons. Despite her now being queen, he continued to give her tips on how to rule behind the scenes. King Bles II supposedly died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of 977 in 1828, leaving an inexperienced Seldragia on her own.
One of her earliest acts as queen was to give an exclusive interview with a popular human magazine of the time, an unusual but not unheard of thing for a Dragoian monarch to do. This interview became infamous primarily because of Seldragia deciding to pose completely nude in one of the photographs included in that magazine against the advice of pretty much everyone around, going on the logic that humans are obsessed with nudity and that she may as well get it over with. The issue of the magazine featuring the interview and the infamous nude photograph sold in record numbers for both the human sized and Dragoian sized examples. The infamous photograph enraged the majority of more traditional Dragoians and prompted several calls for Seldragia to step down as queen despite the otherwise positive nature of Seldragia being a revived Dralkyria having been universally well received by the Dragoian Empire's citizens, many of whom had been expecting an ugly succession with one of King Bles II's sons. Seldragia resisted all attempts to ban and destroy the magazine, but failed in a Triumvirate vote being voted against 3-1 and decided to relent by banning the reproduction of the offending photograph, it's import into the Dragoian Empire, as well as it's display in public. The ban carries no criminal element, with the ban enforced simply by removing the photograph if found. The fallout from this magazine would quickly die down following the ban on the offending photograph.
She is widely regarded as one of the kindest and fun-loving leaders in modern Dragoian History, even those pre-unification, being kind and giving only light punishments unless the crime was really serious (e.g. murder). However, while her kindness extends to all but Scum-Caste Dragoians, it does not extend as much to the masses of humans present on Dragoia (Planet). She will devour human, and keep them oppressed within the Dragoian Empire, but forbids any overly aggressive raids on their own countries, in order to "maintain their population".
She has a disdain for the overly formal nature of being the monarch, and makes it a personal mission to get anyone she's talking with to call her by her name by the end of the conversation and not the usual monarch honorifics such as "Your Grace". Despite gently pushing constantly to get people to call her by name, many of those who had lived with King Bles II as their monarch found it very hard to break out of old habits.
She believes that as queen, her role is to not only do official duties, or "Queen Stuff" as she calls it, but to actually get out into the world and interact with people and sees making herself approachable as key to enabling this. While many in the Dragoian Empire appreciate a more approachable monarch, her overly casual way of doing it has been known to irritate many in the higher castes. As an extension of this line of thinking, she enjoys doing her own domestic chores rather than having someone else do it for her, and is known to frequently venture into the Imperial City, or the villages near her country estates, to get groceries, albeit closely followed by the Royal Guard. Her approachable and fun-loving nature sits well with most Dragoians, but is known to rankle those with more traditional views.
==Love==
"Oh Drarkikins, I don't know how I lived through that war without you at my side." Seldragia talking to Drark shortly after the Dragoian Civil War in 1940.
Seldragia deeply loves a Low-Born named Drark, who she met while he was working on one of her country estates in the Lei Mountains in 1933. She would start to get more serious with her relationship with Drark in 1935, shortly before the Dragoian Civil War officially started.
She finds Drark's cute innocence and total lack of aggression, along with his high pitched squeaky voice, adorable.
She was forced to send Drark to fight for the Dragoian Revolutionary Army, due to not being able to guarantee his safety if he stayed civilian or joined the Imperial Dragoian Army, as being put in IDA uniform would make him a target. Drark was not kept at Seldragia's side, as TwinBragia would use Drark as an excuse to seize full military command by claiming that Seldragia's ability to rule was compromised. In the end, Seldragia came to the conclusion that Drark would be safest as a rebel, being protected by only sending the most incompetent IDA squads to engage Drark's DRA squad, this was all made possible by Seldragia's dedication to keep Drark alive, as well as information provided by Dragyia Agthe.
She has been known to cook sweet treats such as Cookies and Cakes for Drark, especially when he isn't feeling well. Her cooking is not great, but when cooking for Drark, there is a love put in that makes the slightly burnt food she provides taste better. Her busiest period of cooking was during the Dragoian Civil War, where she would send her sweet treats with her weekly care packages to Drark to keep his spirits up during the war.
==Combat Style==
Being a Queen, Seldragia is expected to fight with the royal weapon, a powerful machine-gun/sword hybrid known as the RuhmBlade. She used this weapon while training to get used to it, taking influence from both the Gunner and Trooper combat schools to best utilise it.
Despite extensive training, Seldragia still doesn't have the skills to fully utilise the unique RuhmBlade, being able to shoot with good accuracy in short bursts, but lacking refinement in using the blade or firing in extended bursts.
While Seldragia can use the devastating Dralkyria Lance, she chooses not to, considering the weapon downright unholy in it's firepower, and refusing to use it against any living creature, even a human's food animal.
