Mariyama

"If a Monster they want to see,
Then a Monster I shall be."Crown Princess Thronewaiter Mariyama Sarine Daprehied was the eldest daughter of Queen Sarina I. and Prince Consort Jaeson Sierenay and the older sister of Crown Princess Eilith. At age thirteen, she did not bond as a soul sharer, thus her claim to the throne was compromised. After a riding accident, in which Queen Sarine lost her life, Mariyama was framed for regicide and exiled to the north of the island, where she found refuge with the Blackweads of Smallport and the Exiles of the Uninhabited islands. After gathering an army of fellow exiles and renegades, as well as those who saw her as the true heir, she was imprisoned in the Titanfort. She escaped with the aid of an unknown entity and expanded her army with the Searers. She destroyed the Four Guardian Towers, engaging the tribals in the war. She laid siege of Eddrene and conquered it in four days, killing her family and relatives so that no one could challenge her claim to the throne. Mariyama ruled Erah for thirteen years and is responsible for the soul sharer genocide. 
She becomes Princess Mariyama, Lady of Sah Dayak and the official Royal Secretary and Advisor to Empress Daprehied. Her apprentice and eventual succesor is her cousin, Prince Eadwyn of Era. 
Her name is dervied from the Old Sharer word maeri, meaning night, and the suffix -yama, meaning loved. Night-loved or night lover.
