Rosalina Asaki

**Rosalina Asaki** was a matriarch of the Roserita Clan, reigning as the queen consort of Azuren before her death. She was the daughter of Ume Asaki and the descendant of clan leader Asuka Asaki, one of the leaders of the tribes before its dismantlement. Her clan was approved to rule over Azuren and established one of the first monarchies recorded.

After the tribes had dismantled and lived as ordinary people, the Roserita tribe had stepped forward and ruled over Azuren for many years. Her clan was also one of the first kingdoms that had first appeared within Azuren, ridding it's chiefdom status. Under her rule, she possessed many colonies, including northern Soraya and Lyarik, which was relabeled as Illyria. She was often frowned upon by the tribes and attempted to get rid of her multiple times, but failed because of her tribes power. She was eventually overthrown after the tribes had successfully gotten rid of her and ridded Azuren from having any rulers.

## History

Rosalina was born to Ume Asaki in the easternmost part of Azuren into the prestigious Roserita Clan, sometimes referred to as the House of Roserita. Her father left the family from a young age, leaving her mother to care for Rosalina and her siblings. She was the oldest of many siblings and was the next in line to inherit their name. Because of Azuren no longer being ruled by tribes, it did not have a government and requested for one of the tribes to step in. This resulted in the Roserita clan volunteering to assist them in government. Because of their good and strong relations with the former tribes, they agreed because of their status, creating one of the first kingdoms.

As the Roseritas were ruling, Rosalina was trained vigorously because of her strong claim to the name of the Roseritas. She was often exhausted and burned from all the training she had to intake, but was nonetheless ecstatic about her status. She was isolated from her family and friends because of her training, and as a result, she lacks proper social skills to interact with others.

Many other neighboring clans were interested in her hand in marriage, but was refused due to her being fifteen at the time and her fear of her daughter being taken advantage of. When she turned eighteen, the son of the Mosou clan, Takashi, was interested in her and did not want to marry her for power, but for love out of his heart. Her mother, full of distrust, allowed Takashi to be around her to interact with her.

Rosalina notes that he was courteous and showed her immense levels of respect no other son had before, often giving her space and not forcing her to be a doting housewife, the societies expectation during that time. Eventually, Ume started to see Takashi being the right fit for Rosalina and allowed her to have her hand in marriage to create an alliance for both the Mosous and Roseritas. Takashi and Roserita had a blissful marriage as noted by her mother, acting like a happy couple and never fell out of love. She notes that their relationship was "oddly good," and they never got into any arguments.

Roserita still continued her training, despite being married and started to invest herself in the kingdom politics frequently, acting like the pawn in a game of chess. She was seen as a high in power figure, despite her not claiming the clans fortunes and rulership at that time. Because of her high status, she was seen by the other tribes in a high manner because of her charisma, intelligence and wits to be the next ruler, with her husband also being perceived in the same manner.

After many years go by, Ume had died because of a landmine attack, leaving Roserita to be the heiress to her mothers name and claimed it. Though, her mental state had started to worsen over her mothers death, almost breaking down during her coronation. Her mothers death had started to take a toll on her and she started to rule with a firm grip instead of a democracy like she had promised. With the power she held, she created the first monarchy and ruled over Azuren. Despite the peace and prosperity, her demeanor shifted from a kind and loving woman to a demanding and extremely hostile individual. She was often criticized for her demeanor and was then frowned upon. Takashi would try to comfort her, but found it difficult due to her emotional outbursts.

Throughout two years, Rosalina manages to improve and recovered from her mothers death, and managed to receive approval from her people after she explained her troubles, ruling Azuren peacefully without any problem and was seen as one of the finest rulers because of her charisma and wits. She begun to take over parts of land to symbolize power, including Lyarik, to which she renamed Ilyria, and parts of northern Soraya unauthorized. Her power was defined through the land she was maintaining and often had a tight grip on what the people were to do and not supposed to do based on her society. She started to lose who she was and started to take more land to symbolize her power, causing the tribes to have more disapproval over her.

As her disapproval was starting to increase, uprisings were caused in Lyarik and Soraya, pleading for independence from her reign, but insisted on keeping them as her colonies in order to negotiate for their resources, securing her title as one of the most powerful matriarchs at the time. However, her life began to pivot after her colonies began to rebel against her and her rule, with the people of Azuren also rebelling. When she attempted to calm the uprisings down, it then escalated into a civil war between the supporters of the Roserita Clan and those who were not in support.

Slowly, her colonies became independent after the Lyakonian-Azurian War and many other conflicts, resulting in the clan not only losing popularity, but their power. Rosalina attempted to regain power, but was quickly overpowered and was overthrown shortly after by the people because of her rule and ridding the rule of the Roserita Clan because of her corrupted nature she assumed, dying when doing so because of a bomb being implanted within the castle walls. Her husband had managed to escape and presumably took a new identity after.

Her mother, Ume, described her as very intelligent and capable of ruling a large clan with many members. She showed utmost respect to those lower and higher than her, remaining polite and never judged those around her.

However, after her mother had passed, she started to take a spiral and acted out more, becoming emotionally frail and quick to anger, often lashing out on Takashi and her knights because of her grief. However, she begins to improve on her behavior and managed to win the publics eye back, becoming a sweet-tempered and charismatic ruler that attempted to do the best for her people by maintaining a strong economy and putting her funds aside for different matters, but after realizing how other countries resources had benefited hers, she slowly became mad with power and begun taking land in order to symbolize her standing point as the leader of all the land.
