Alsynnia Argyle

== Overview ==
Lady Alsynnia Argyle was a Collingian aristocrat, and the unofficial twin sister of Queen Ana Kellic. She was abandoned at birth by her queen mother Christa Gravina, but eventually married into the aristocratic Argyle Family. Rumors of her royal lineage spread, culminating in a democratic election and public debate between her and Princess Ana. This debate was an orchestrated farce however, with Ana being dubbed the winner despite Alsynnia proving to be the far more competent and publicly adored candidate. The debacle sparked widespread public outrage, resulting in Alysinnia and her family's exile from the Collingian Empire to the Kingdom of Velocitus. It is not known what happened to her after this point. Some say she and her family lived out a quiet and comfortable life in the KOV, other theories state that she re-married into Velocitan royalty, creating an entirely new lineage and sewing the seeds of revenge for centuries to come. 
=== Early Life ===
Alsynnia's early life was fraught with difficulty and strife being a twin of the royal Kellic lineage. Prevailing PVT superstitions stated that were a woman to give birth to twins, one was a soulless golem; destined to be filled with the evil spirit of Mogyawth. Many twins were sadly killed for this reason, but more affectionate mothers would secretly send them away in an attempt to hide their terrible secret. hence her distraught mother, Queen Christa Gravina, left her swaddled in the middle of the night on the doorstep of Francine Fountain's Home For The Poor, with only a pendant in her bassinet inscribed with her name. Only a month later the heartbroken queen took her life, jumping from the tallest tower of Kellic Castle. 
Alsynnia's formative years were quite dreary, living hand to mouth at the foster home and performing menial tasks to scratch out a living. She was however quite an astute and observant learner, one day drawing the attention of a university professor James Lewis White, who offered her his world-class tutelage free of charge. While this twist of fate put her on the path to success, it was only when Damien Argyle, a member of the aristocratic Argyle family, happened upon her one day shining shoes in the streets and instantly fell in love. Shortly thereafter they married, and it was only then that Damien realized she was the twin of King Rudolph IV's daughter, Ana Kellic. 
=== Alysinnia's Claim To The Throne ===
Word of the news spread across the kingdom, eventually reaching the halls of Kellic Castle. When the rumor could no longer be ignored, King Rudolph ordered a democratic election and public debate between Ana and Alysinnia in an attempt to defuse the situation. Such a novel proposition was met by the public with great enthusiasm, which clamored at the chance to be part of the political process. In short order, a debate was held between Princess Ana and Lady Alsynnia, broaching numerous topics relevant to a potential heir. As the debate wore on, it was clear that Lady Alsynnia had won the public's adoration. Her sharp wit, tact, humility, and populist appeal outshone Ana's smug elitism. Many times Alsynnia left Ana quite literally speechless, resigning the moderator simply to move to the next question.
==== Defeat And Exile ====
While it was clear to see that Alsynnia had "won", the mechanics of politics are sadly much darker. The entire "display of democracy" was just a perfunctory formality; a show for the masses, and pretense to claim plausible deniability once Princess Ana was inevitably crowned queen by the compromised Collingian House Politica. When it became clear what had happened, public outrage erupted across the kingdom. More motivated protestors dubbed themselves "Alsynnia's Army". Tensions came to a head as Alsynnia, along with her immediate family, were exiled from the city by the king and sent to the far-away Kingdom of Velocitus. This was his final action, as days later the elderly king contracted Bloedhoes and died shortly after.
