**Minerva Lily J. Trappola** (née **Vladimer-Prescovich**) (30 January, 1960–31 October, 1981) was an Latishana refugee, the younger daughter of Boyar Aleksander Vladimer-Prescovich and Boyare Anastasia Vladimer-Prescovich, and the second stepmother of Theodora Agathangelou. She was a late bloomer in terms of her magical nature, only learning she was a magician after nearly killing one of her family's servants in a fit of enragment over the maid's mistreatment of her. Minerva attended Night Raven College from 1971-1978. She was sorted into Heartslabyul Dorm and was a member of the Miracles, the hottest school-aged music group. In her seventh year (back when Night Raven College started at age 11 and had seven years) she was made Abbot of the Stars and began dating Cassius K. Trappola.

After Night Raven, Minerva married Cassius. Along with their friends Linus Aetós, Justus Alexopoulos, and their adoptive daughter Theodora Agathangelou, the couple joined the Lords of Wukong before the events of the unexpected fourth great disaster. She and her husband were nearly killed in several incidents, both of them eventually retiring from the organization all together after she learned of her pregnancy. With the conclusion of the fourth great disaster, Minerva and Cassius had a son, Ace Trappola, of whom the Queen of the Summer Fae Court Claudia I became one of the godmothers.

The summer heatwave of Hallowe'en night in 1981, spelled her doom due to Minerva being already severely weakened by the birth of her only son and further agitated by the news of her parents' deaths due to old age. She passed in the middle of Hallowe'en night, surrounded by Cassius, Theodora, and the rest of their close-knit family. In honor of Minerva, the Queens of the various Fae Courts banded together blessing the family.

## Biography

Minerva Lily J. Vladimer-Prescovich was born to Boyar Aleksander Vladimer-Prescovich and Boyare Anastasia Vladimer-Prescovich, two of the last members of the Imperial House of Vladimer-Prescovich, on 30 January, 1960. Her family lived in Prescovich, capital city of the Latisha Empire before the empire's collapse along with it's fellow nations on the Zaki continent. She had no older or younger siblings, being the only child and thus the heir to the family's fortunes. At the age of 5, Minerva witnessed the collapse of her family's nation and their fortunes by association which led to them becoming refugees. The events of the third and final great disaster five hundred years prior, had greatly destabilized almost all of the nations still left on the Zaki continent and other continents around the world, including even the aftermentioned Island of Sages. While living in the slums of the Sunlight Savannah, she became friends with other refugees from the Latisha Empire such as: Clelia Angelos, daughter of the former Imperial court chamberlin of the Latisha Empire and Silvana Athanasiou, daughter of the former Commander of the Imperial Guards.

Having come to learn of her lineage as part of the Imperial Family and of her simple desire to live simply, Clelia and Silvana helped her adjust to normal life with all three of their families growing closer as a result of their children's strong bond which grew even stronger and stronger as the girls began getting older and older. Their respective families all decided to stay together, forming a unique bond not just as merely only friends but as coming to view each other as if they were each other's family. Eventually, at some point they preformed a long forbidden spell that merged all of their family members into one, creating the Imperial House of Vladimer-Prescovich. Together, they moved all around to different continents and nations searching for a permenant home, only to settle in the Queendom of Roses after much evaluation. At the age of 10, she celebrated her first birthday in the slums of the Queendom of Roses while her parents and her friends' parents built up a stellar reputation as friendly company owners, causing them to eventually be able to buy a home in a different section of time by the time that the girls were ready to begin attending Night Raven College at the age of 11.

### Night Raven years (1971–1978)

> Your mother and I met when we were still students at Night Raven, that is why I was so happy when you decided to attend it. I have a lot of fond memories from that time. Those years were the happiest times of our lives before the cataclysm wars... those were dark times indeed

   At the age of eleven, Minerva began attending Night Raven College, where she was sorted into Heartslabyul Dorm alongside her two friends, Clelia Angelos and Silvana Athanasiou. She became quite skilled at flying and was noted to be one of the few incredibly athletic students that weren't sorted into Savanaclaw Dorm with Galina remarking that Minerva was always the most athletic out of all of the Vladimer-Prescovich children. Considered to be talented in other fields of athletics, she was from the start of her schooling one of the smartest but also one of the laziest kids.

> Those two were like two peas in a pod. Qin Lanzhi indulged all of Minerva's curosities and Minerva indulged all of Qin Lanzhi's food cravings. It was truly a friendship made in heaven or hell, depending on whom you asked about it.

Qin Lanzhi, a skilled half-fae/half-Qilin scholar approached her in her fifth year at Night Raven and the two of them struck up a strong friendship, becoming partners-in-crime to one another. They were popular in school due to their lazy and often chaotic gaming streams, Valleria Aelia (Valleria of the Sun) being one of their most popular games. There was an incident at the end of their fifth year, Qin Lanzhi being injured and dying with the news of the incident being swept underneath the rug. Traumatized by this incident, Minerva stopped doing gaming streams and instead became known for her
