Annya Guāng Xī

**Annya Guāng Xī** (previously **Princess Annya of Guāng Xī**) is the second child of Emperor Jao and Empress Mei Lin of Guāng Xī. Her older twin sister is Empress Araminta and her younger brother is Prince Takashi.

Annya was born second in line to the throne of Guāng Xī, just a few minutes behind her twin sister Araminta. Annya felt that it was unfair for her sister to be heir to the throne of Guāng Xī, because they were twins. She was eventually exiled from the kingdom after orchestrating the murder of her father.

## History

For her entire life, Princess Annya found herself in her sister's shadow. Annya became deeply resentful of her sister and spent much of her childhood and teenage years trying to convince her father that Araminta was unfit to be empress. Araminta agreed that Annya should be Empress, but their father refused. Annya hated Araminta even more after that and devised plots to mentally break Araminta. This involved revealing her sister's relationship with Prince Charles of Windenburg, and convincing her father to break them up and set Araminta up in an arranged marriage with Prince Han. She hoped that Araminta would fall apart under the pressure of losing her previous relationship.

Angry at her father’s refusal to make her heir, Annya hired Lady Harmony to poison Araminta. However, the plan went awry and it was Emperor Jao who died of the poison instead. Annya tried to make it look like Araminta orchestrated the poisoning, to get out of her arranged marriage to Han, but this did not work because the arranged marriage was set up so that it still had to go through even though the Emperor died. After Araminta was crowned, Annya tried to convince her to betray their alliances and to invade other kingdoms, but her sister refused. In a fit of anger, Annya revealed all of her plans, and then tried to strangle her sister. Afterwards, Araminta banished her from the kingdom, making her lose her title as well.

Annya's whereabouts are currently unknown.

### Relationships

Annya tends to view relationships only in the light of how they can benefit her. She considered trying to steal Prince Charles from Araminta, but the two already strongly disliked each other, so this plan wouldn't work. Later, her parents hoped to set her up in an arranged marriage with Crown Prince Cornelius of Willow Creek, which would still allow Annya to become queen of a kingdom, but Annya was determined to become the empress of her own people. She was not interested in Cornelius because she believed that Cornelius was too immature and not serious enough to be at her caliber or to be useful to her.

## Instagram Q&A

Q: What started this rage between you and your sister?

A: You mean "little miss perfect"? Ever since we were kids, she has gotten everything she wants. She doesn't even have to try. Everything she has should be mine. I'll show her though...
