Marcella Hughes Clark

HIH Marcella, Empress Consort (nee. Marcella Hughes Clark) is the current and second wife of Emperor Basilean IV & II of the Hybro-Gorathic Empire. The two married in July of 322, during the Nichibotsu-Kolanski Colonial War second phase and the destruction of a Hybreitan fleet, leading to significant public protest during their wedding.
Marcella Hughes Clark was born in Coalton, Novac to Jameson Hughes of the Hughes Silversmith Co. and his wife, Sarlotta Juarez Clark, a Kordynian born Cordolvan socialite. Hughes-Clark began acting in her early teens and was 'discovered' in 312 at the age of 14. She played several small roles as various persons, such as Princess Arisinia of Hybretia in the War Epic "Onwards to Ephesus". Her breaking role at the age of 17 was that of Alexandra Burce in the 315 romantic comedy "It Happened in Faraday" which made her an international star. She followed with her award winning role as Keila of Tysos in 316's Battle for the Republic, her leading role as Marie Danbrook in "Last Stant at Montgomery", and Empress Charlotte in the controversial film Letters from Llywelyn.
Clark was signed to an untitled film in 319, which soon came to be titled "Ecstasy (319)". The film detailed the events in Varsais leading to the War of 241. Despite initially being designed to justify the actions of the Varisian separatists in creating Novac, likely by using the leading lady's history as the lead in patriotic films, the film mutated into a self indulgent mess. When released in theaters in 319 the film immediately drew harsh criticism due to it's depiction of Phillipe IX, its nudity, and incredibly controversial scene where Hughes-Clark's character is forced to perform for the Varisian King's indecent pleasures. Varsais banned the film and retroactively banned others of Hughes-Clark and the director. 
It was at the Hybretian premier for Ecstasy and the Hybretian debut of Letters from Llywelyn that Hughes-Clark was introduced to the widowed Emperor Basilean IV & II. They began corresponding and he attended the premier of her next film insteads of attending the annual Reading of the Names in 321. She moved to New Hybris and married the Emperor in July 322, to massive protests as the Battle of the Demedju Sea had only taken place a week prior.
