## History

In celebration of the recent Coronation of the First King of Forgotten Hollow, King Taehyung Kim, all of the people of Forgotten Hollow were invited to a festival on the palace grounds. Since Arielle loved parties she was eager to attend. She quickly hit it off with the king and the two spent the entire night by each other's side. The couple courted for years before he finally proposed to her. The two were married in 1001 and quickly began the process of having children.

## Time as Queen

She had three children with Taehyung at first. two boys and a girl. Crown Prince Lucius was born first and was the oldest of the generation. Princess Auriela was born next and grew to be spitting image of her mother, and finally Prince Demetrius was the youngest and the farthest away from the crown.

Queen Arielle was tasked with all the homely duties of the palace and planned all of the events that were held at the palace. Usually Halloween and New Year's Eve along with all Birthdays and Saint Vlad's Day. She didn't have much time for her children but did what she could to be in their lives. She took it upon herself to choose her children's nannies and tutors and would often sit in to ensure they were doing what was expected of them. To those who were not in her family she was cold and difficult to approach. She saw no room for error and had a hand in firing over 700 castle staff in her time as queen.

In 1019 her oldest son Crown Prince Lucius died from sunlight exposure at the Sulani Palace for a Thanksgiving Celebration. In remembrance they celebrated him in a memorial for 5 years after his death. Her youngest son Demetrius took on the title of Crown Prince in his brother's stead. Arielle grieved her son's death for years to come and continued to see his face decades later.

She finally settled down and felt ready to have kids again once Auriela and Demetrius were both grown and married in 1030. She had twins Eveline and Madilyn and years later Vanessa. She decided after Vanessa that she didn't want anymore children and that she would put most of her effort towards her grandchildren and great grandchildren. When the twins were 13 is when a life changing event happened to the Kim family.

The war of 1043 was brought on by Arielle's daughter-in-law Lady Arianna Kim, Demetrius' wife. Her lust for power brought on 1000's of deaths across the kingdom's including her husband's and her own. Arielle saw to Arianna's execution at King Taehyung's approval once they were made aware of the situation before war had truly broken out. Feeling sorry for Cyra and Theon, her grandchildren through Demetrius and Arianna, she let them stay as far away from the execution as possible while it commenced, even though they were both old enough to be expected to attend. The war brought her husband to his knees, the kingdoms lost to Oasis Spring's badly and to make amends most of the Forgotten Hollow children were set in arranged marriages with the enemy or their allies. Because Crown Prince Demetrius died in the war, Princess Cyra and Prince Theon were now orphaned. Theon was now the next in line to the throne.

King Taehyung and Queen-Consort Arielle took Cyra and Theon in as their own and raised them with their own three daughters. Cyra got married to King Adrian of Windenburg soon after and left the nest quickly. Eveline was arranged to marry Lord Ketan Saini of Oasis Springs, Madilyn to Prince Maxwell of Windenburg, Vanessa to Lord Landen Carter of Windenburg, and Theon to Princess Ayesha of Oasis Springs. Ariella was infuriated over her husband's decision to marry their family off to royals and nobles in Oasis Springs but was unable to get him to listen to her thoughts. She was only the queen after all.

This moment is when their marriage began to fall apart. Arielle resented the way Taehyung gave her little respect. She knew she was more than what he made her out to be. With all of her kids all grown up and raising their own families all she had was him. While neither of them ever sought out the company of other's the two never slept in the same bed again.

In 1051 Crown Prince Theon's first child was born. Princess Celeste became Arielle's new passion. Caring for her great granddaughter gave her a new excuse to avoid her husband who was slowly losing his humanity as the years went on. The paranoia began at the birth of the his great granddaughter. It was almost like he knew she would be his downfall. A few years later the couple had another child, another girl named Imogene; However, his wife died in childbirth. Arielle had suspicions that it wasn't childbirth complications because as a vampire it's impossible to bleed out. She didn't make a big deal of it though because she never really liked Ayesha to begin with. In turn she pushed Theon to start looking for a new lover instead. He needed an heir and he wasn't going to get a legitimate one without a wife.

He quickly moved on and married another woman from Oasis Springs, Lady Minerva Saini. Arielle quickly jumped to help plan the wedding to feel out her next Granddaughter-In-Law. She grew to really like Minerva and spent much of her time helping Minerva do household chores around the Kim Manor. When Minerva found out she was pregnant Arielle was sent away by Theon. He had become secretive and aggressive when it came to his wife's pregnancy. He even sent his two daughter's away to stay with Arielle and Taehyung until Minerva came to term. Shockingly, Minerva also passed away after she gave birth to a daughter, Princess Laelia. However, this time Theon was a little messier with his murder. Arielle noticed immediately the traces of deadly nightshade at the scene of the crime and tried her best to cover it up before the castle guards took notice. She knew her grandson was not happy with having three daughters and while this infuriated her she knew there was nothing she could do about it.

By the time Celeste was nineteen she began to take notice of all the strange phenomena that went on in her family's past. Arielle explained her suspicions to her great granddaughter and planted the seed in her head that something needed to be done about it. Arielle was done being powerless she had begun to realize that doing everything for her family always left her hurt and used. It was her turn to get what she wanted. She used little Celeste to put an end to Theon's Tyranny. At this point in 1073, Crown Prince Theon had married Valide Sultana Naomi of Oasis Springs and had finally had a son, Lucien. Arielle put the plan into motion starting with her crazy husband.

Paranoia had truly taken the 173 year old man. He spent his time executing vampire after vampire for treason even when they had done nothing wrong. He had simply just thought they were conspiring against him. Arielle had had enough. She knew Forgotten Hollow couldn't take much more of a mad king. So she fired all the castle staff and simply locked the King outside at mid day and watched her husband burn to ash.

## The Power Vacuum

In the midst of all the chaos, Theon Finally thinking he'll become King, Arielle relieved to be free for once, and the planning for Princess Celeste's wedding. Celeste had the perfect opportunity to set her plan in motion. Once Arielle found out about the death of Lucien and Theon she knew what she needed to do to protect Celeste. Since Theon was dead she was the closest to the Throne. She framed Naomi for the murder saying she couldn't control her new found vampirism. Celeste and Imogene both testified to this fact. Laelia was too young to testify at the time and was kept out of the situation. Arielle had Naomi cured of Vamprism and exiled to Sulani where she would never be allowed to step foot into Forgotten Hollow again. Afterwards she stepped down and gave the throne to her Great Granddaughter Celeste.

## The Dowager-Queen

Arielle quickly settled into her position as the Dowager-Queen of Forgotten Hollow and slowly went back to her life of caring for her family and throwing parties. She planned Queen Celeste's wedding to a Vampire nobleman Cain De LaRue. After their wedding she turned her attention to finding her other great granddaughters husband's as well. Laelia was arranged to marry Lord Karam Hsu of Oasis Springs because of her Arabic Lineage. Imogene on the other hand couldn't find a suitor who would give her any attention after the incident with Valide Sultana Naomi. Arielle spent her time raising her great great grandchildren Crown Prince Aries and Princess Verity as they grew into toddlers. However, she didn't stay settled for very long

## The Civil War

As we saw with her husband King Taehyung we saw that age corrupts a vampire. In 1090, Arielle was 134 years old and starting to deteriorate mentally. She became aggressive and paranoid to the point she had to be kept away from her great great grandchildren, Aries, Verity, and Atlas in fear she would bring them harm. Eventually she got it into her head that she deserved to be queen over her great granddaughter Queen Celeste. She began to build an uprising, even getting support from Mt. Komorebi and Oasis Springs to put her on the throne over Queen Celeste. Finally later that year she declared war on Forgotten Hollow under the rule of Queen Celeste and the Civil War began. Unfortunately, the beginning of the Forgotten Hollow Civil War also brought on the Dark Period. What is known is that this Civil War turned into an all out world war and Dowager-Queen Arielle lost the war and was exiled from Forgotten Hollow. This war caused major economic damage to Forgotten Hollow and they are still struggling to recover some 150 years later. As for Arielle she created an empire. While it's still a one, she's had the opportunity to in state herself as queen of a small plot of land she was exiled to called Magnolia Promenade. Her Great Great Great Grandson Prince Sirius, the youngest child of Crown Prince Aries, joined her as her heir after he himself was exiled for murder. He murdered Queen Celeste in cold blood during the Dark Period because he didn't believe in female rulers; However, Arielle is not aware of that fact.

## Finally Queen

As Queen Arielle brought down her Iron Fist. She had her small group of supporters by her side and all was as well as it could be under a mad ruler. As her heir, Crown Prince Sirius was close enough to Arielle to know her secrets and under the table transactions. He used these plans and secrets against her in order to find a way to harm her reputation and eventually her.

The Queen had become bored of the monotony of royal life and sought out something to mess with. She decided she wanted to ruin the marriage of King George and Queen Amadora of Windenburg out of pure spite for their family's role in the Civil War. King George was easily seduced by Arielle and ended up having a six month affair with the queen without his wife knowing. Arielle was eventually with child and George quickly cut off the arrangement as to not be met with scandal. Arielle had a bastard son named Icarus who was quickly hidden away.

She had caught wind of Sirius' distaste for female rulers and had learned of the true reason for him murdering Queen Celeste. She knew her downfall was soon but she was smart enough to ensure that Sirius' didn't get to see the Crown of Magnolia Promenade. She named her son Icarus as her new heir and that he would be legally allowed to take the throne on his 11th birthday while Sirius acts as his regent. She gave this order to her circle of loyal conspirators who would ensure this final law go into place after her assassination.

Not long after this law was written, Queen Arielle was poisoned in the palace by an unknown thief. Many are to believe that King Sirius made this order as an assassination attempt. The law that allowed Icarus to take the throne never passed and the boy's parentage remained a secret that only few knew of. Queen Arielle was 193 years old when she passed in 1145.
