 Too fab to be sad. *~ÉtoileÉternelle*

**Full Name:**

Queen Xenia Argyris of Tourvaille
**Age:**

She doesn't like disclosing that information.
**Employment:**

She is one of the queens of Tourvaille.
**Species:**

She is a sorceress.
**Weapons:**

Xenia's biggest weapon is likely her sharp wits, if not the thousands of knights and guards at her disposal, as well as Gabriel, Kseniya and Njord's. That said, she does have a weapon she can use without approval - a sword and shield crafted with the strongest, yet most beautiful metals from the deepest caves of Avalon.

**Appearance:**

Her faceclaim will be Gal Gadot.
**Personality:**

Xenia Argyris is a woman who was passed off as a ward to the Draconian Crown for many, many years, so she knows her fair share of royal mannerisms. She's a d'Ambrosia by birth, so naturally there's a majestic, golden aura to her. The way she poises herself, the way she speaks, breathes and smiles, you wouldn't question her status as a queen, no matter how new her Kingdom may be.
She has a taste for the arts, partially what encouraged the artists - no matter musical or visual - to join the Citizens of the new Kingdom in numbers. Though she's a woman of elegance who strives for perfection, she can't deny the girl in her that loves to dance and put a show. The arts are a new concept, one she enjoys making the most out of - especially with her resources as the queen of a kingdom.
Xenia is a woman that sees the good in people. She believes everyone deserves a second chance - a clean slate. She's a firm believer in justice and for this reason often makes sure to oversee ongoing cases and quarrels between her citizens. That said, she isn't naive - she knows a manipulator when she sees one. Xenia is smart and nobody should try and discredit her for that.
As persistent as she is kind-hearted, Xenia is not the kind of woman to rest until she sees her plans or ambitions come to light. She fights for what she believes in, she fights for what she thinks is right, she fights for a lot of things. It makes her hard to dissuade, hard to discredit, and above all - hard to prove unethical or undeserving of her throne.
As a former noble of Draconia, a lady of the court, Xenia has experience training for her defense. Though never bonded to a dragon for the sake of remaining her identity a secret, those mechanisms she learned from Draconia and its citizens have manifested. She's remained an active woman, athletic above all. She trains with her guards and knights regularly, always keeping them on their toes, just like she witnessed her would-be father and mother do their own guard.
Above all, Xenia is fair-hearted. She'll go to the ends of the world to make sure her Kingdom is running smoothly, fairly and above all - evolving. She's quite likely the person most fit to be at the throne present time.
**History:**

Athanasia d'Ambrosia felt undying love towards her husband and king, Diomedes. She was a king and just leader, just how her bastard child would eventually be. That said, despite it all, she wasn't able to resist the temptations of the powerful sorcerer tied to Draconia. They slept together, and Xenia was the child that sprouted from that affair. It was short-lived and didn't go anywhere, but it happened and they had a permanent reminder of it.
Xenia Argyris was passed off as the daughter of Athanasia's identical twin sister, which explained perfectly why she looked so much like the two of them. To be quite honest, Athanasia's sister hadn't been too eager to join in on the plan, but after receiving news of being barren, this was the perfect plan. A little too perfect. It was staged, by Athanasia herself. She manipulated the results, made her sister seem barren. It was the perfect plan. She needed her secret to remain buried and this was the way.
Xenia didn't know who she was until she was seventeen. She was a little girl raised by someone who loved her dearly, but it wasn't enough to keep her around when she finally found out who she was. Only Athanasia and her sister knew the truth - the actual version as to why both had suddenly taken to baggier clothes, to prolonged business trips, to just about everything possible to hide a pregnancy. It was a genius plan, Xenia agreed, when she discovered the truth.
The daughter of a dragonlady and powerful, mysterious sorcerer, it's logical Xenia was a sorceress herself, especially one that exhibits signs of magic early on. Allegedly coming from a mother that didn't inherit any sort of magic, this seemed illogical. People whispered, theorized about what Xenia's heritage might or might not be, but nothing ever really got out of hand. Eventually all rumors died out, especially as Draconia's court sorcerer got himself involved and helped Xenia control her newfound abilities.
Growing up and facing several different emotions, some less appropriate than others, it was difficult for Xenia to control her magic. She had her best friend Gabriel to help her, but even that did minimal help. So she turned to a new option, one opened to her by playing with her long lost half-siblings - training with the Dragonsguard. She trained with them, though little by little, she began to draw out from the public eye. It was mostly as a way to please her mother, who wanted her little girl to keep indoors and act more like a lady than a warrior. She wasn't facing possibilities of becoming a queen, not if Athanasia had a say in it - there was no need for her to train like princes and princesses.
Xenia didn't obey. She was a natural at swordplay and found it unfair that she had to be treated differently because of her status as a lady, rather than princess. She was raised like this, treated unfairly in such a way that made her blood boil. But she was loyal and never once slammed back at her mother, as much as she wanted to. She just... snuck out, to train with Amice, Blake and the rest of their group, from all kinds of ages but all within nobility. Though she never felt included, it was the closest she could get to being normal. Having friends. A life. Something other than her best friend Gabriel. And then it happened.
Months after her seventeenth birthday, Xenia overheard her aunt and mother talking. She found out about everything - from her heritage, to the possibility that she might inherit dragonspeaking abilities, to how Athanasia fooled her sister. All of it. And suddenly, her mother - her *aunt*, actually - wasn't the only enraged woman. Both of them were deprived of something important. Athanasia's sister could have had a child of her own. She loved Xenia, but it was never the same as having her own child. And Xenia herself? She was deprived of her rights. Of the opportunity to be a princess, to take over the Dragonsguard, of many, *many* things. So she did something about it.
For once in her life, Xenia rebelled. She confronted them both, about everything, managing to get a confession out of them both. It was all it took for Xenia to decide that Draconia just wasn't her home. Not anymore, anyways. So she ran. She took provisions, dragged Gabriel out of his bed, got their horses, and ran. Not many held true memories of her, anyways, not outside the Dragonsguard. Nothing held her back. So she ran. She didn't stop, not until weeks later, when she met *them*. Or to be more specific - *her*. Her future queen, her future wife, and quite possibly her soulmate. Kseniya Talnika. She was accompanied by this Asarian boy - Njord Odinson.
The two of them claimed of things such as visions and the birthing of a seventh kingdom - the final kingdom of Avalon. She labeled them as crazy right off the bat, but there was something about Kseniya - something *genuine* - that made her reconsider. Xenia likes to claim it was love at first sight. That it was her love towards Kseniya that drove her to follow them into a wild ride full of adventures and findings of creative people to help them in their journey.
It took years, but by the end of her journey with the woman that had definitely turned out to be the love of her life, Njord had turned out to be one of the best friends she ever made, and Gabriel continued to prove his worth as her closest friend above all else. She - along with the three other most important people in her life - created Tourvaille. They created it from nothing, with a strong base of people supporting them. The final kingdom was theirs, born from unfairness but molded and sculpted into one that thrived off equality, fairness and magic.
Xenia's story isn't a simple one, nor is it a complicated one. Many things are still unclear, still untold, still up to be written in her life story, but one thing is clear - she's going to lead this kingdom and give it everything she was deprived of. She's going to make Tourvaille the most fair, most equal kingdom in all of Avalon, that much is for sure.
