## History

### Early Life

Aimee Bridgerton (Born Aimee Ciara Bridgerton) was born the first child of Princess Addison of Aubrey and Prince Huy of Aubrey. Since she was an only child at the time, she ranked below her mother in the line of succession, taking the place of her aunt Alice Crawley who had married to be Queen of Trenwith. It wasn't long though when that changed with the arrival of her younger brother when she was around four. Like many of her ancestors, Aimee made sure that Edward would have a good relationship with foreign powers.

Aimee was lucky enough to know her grandparents, great grand parents and she was able to be introduced to her great-great grandfather: King Manuel I before he died.

### Teenagehood

Since Aimee was now a spare in the line of succession, she was now looking elsewhere for when she had to marry. This place was the Downton Imperial Empire. Tsar Colin I had recently came into power when Princess Addison introduced the pair at an Alliance of the Kingdoms meeting.

Because Aimee was now the spare in the line of succession, she wouldn't have to attend university like her mother had and that freed up her time. By the time she was at the end of her teenage hood. She was informed of Colin's eventual intentions, as he had gone to the monarchs of Aubrey: King Arthur I, Queen Marlene I and Aimee's parents: Princess Addison and Prince Huy to inform them about wanting to make Aimee the Tsarina of Downton. However, Aimee was told not to worry since Colin was waiting until she was nineteen.

### Early career life

Colin delayed his proposal to Aimee so she enrolled herself into multiple charities, most of these being in the the technology industry since she had found herself rather invested in programming whilst being in her secondary school.

Alas, Colin's proposal eventually came to Aimee. She immediately accepted him and the plans began for the two of them to get married. This union between another member of the Aubrey Royal family as well as the Downton Imperial family was another step to peace between the two countries. The last time someone married from the Downton Imperial family to the Aubrey Royal family was when King Arthur I and Queen Marlene I married. Before the ceremony, Aimee was given one of the Downton Imperial Empire tiaras to wear throughout the wedding before she would be handed the Tsarina tiara. As well as this, Aimee renounced her place in the Aubrey line of succession, instead if the inevitable came where Aimee would be involved in the running of the Aubrey Royal Family, Aimee would stand beside her new husband as Tsarina instead of being a princess of Aubrey. Aimee chose to have a simpler wedding dress to some of her peers choosing to have the day centred around her happiness of becoming married to the man she loved instead of having her dress being chosen as the main attraction.

On the day, Aimee tried to involve as many people of the Aubrey Royal Family as well to show her dedication and past loyalty to the family and how grateful she was for them to support her throughout her early life and creating her to be a Tsarina worthy of the title and country. She chose the sisters of Lord Shawn, Duke of Aubrey: Lady Candace and Lady Charlotte as well as Lady Brenna, daughter of Prince Andrew, Marquis of Aubrey to be her bridesmaid. Aimee also wanted her brother to be involved as well and chose him to be her ring bearer. To her surprise, her wedding was what inspired Edward to pursue a relationship with Lady Brenna.

### Early motherhood

It didn't take long before Aimee and Colin's first child was born. Grand Princess Jessica Bridgerton was now the first in line to the Tsarina title however that was soon to change with the arrival of the Tsasarevich: Leopold Bridgerton. Aimee knew that her main task was to produce a heir and a spare to keep the Downton Imperial curse at bay. Although, the main thing that Aimee was credited for was showing dedication to her growing family since she chose to prioritise her family, although that began changing when they began growing up.
