## Bio

### Relationships

Baroness Vanna: Araminta is close childhood friends with Baroness Vanna of Guāng Xī, who is now her step-sister due to Araminta's mother and Vanna's father marrying.

Countess Fallon: Araminta is also good friends with Countess Fallon of Windenburg, her ex's wife.

## History

    As the first-born twin, Araminta was born the Crown Princess of Guāng Xī and always destined to be empress. However, Araminta's even-tempered manner irritated her more combative twin sister Annya, who believed herself better-suited to be the future Empress. This caused the two of them to despise one another.

Araminta was originally dating Prince Charles of Windenburg, but she was forced to break it offS2P23 when her father arranged a marriage between her and Prince Han of Qin Xing when the kingdom threatened to attack. The breakup left Charles heartbroken. Araminta still wanted to find a way to make their relationship work but couldn't get ahold of Charles. She later found out from her sister that he had hooked up with somebody else shortly after their break up. She confronted Charles with tears in her eyes before meeting her future husband, Han.S2P26

### Time as Empress

Araminta was coronated Empress as a Teenager following the unexpected death of her father, Emperor Jao. While suspected to have been an assassination, investigators were not able to pin down a suspect at the time.

Following her coronation, the newly ruling Empress chose to appoint Annya as her Royal Consultant, despite the clear rift in their relationship. This did not last long, as she later banished Annya after it was revealed that she was the one who poisoned their father in a failed attempt to murder Araminta.

At first, Araminta disliked Han because she did not want to be in an arranged marriage, but after meeting his family and learning about his past, they grew much closer and eventually fell in love. Araminta and Han were married,S2P50 and then went on their honeymoon in Sulani.

Han and Araminta have three daughters: Crown Princess Zaori, Princess Rin, and Princess Maemi.

Queen Amira of Windenburg suddenly passed and left her young 18-year-old daughter Alice May as the new Queen. This was very similar to Araminta's situation, so Araminta comforted Alice May at the funeral and said that if she ever needed anything, she would be there, and promised she would check in on her every few weeks.S2P91
