## Early Life

Princess Absinthe is much younger than her oldest brother and a few years older than her younger brother so she mainly relied on her friends to keep her company in her childhood. As a kid her mother was tough on her, Viviana expected a lot from her children and Absinthe was no different. While her brothers excelled in other areas Absinthe was good at music. She spent a lot of time practicing and learning the Pipe Organ, The Piano, and the Violin. By the time she was twelve she was performing in large recitals and sometimes staring in pieces performed by more seasoned musicians.

Alec, her older brother has fallen in love with a werewolf named Ember Blacktooth which is forbidden for vampires to even associate with werewolves in a friendly way, much less romantically. Viviana and King Aries gave Alec an ultimatum, either he leave her or be stripped of all his royal titles and forced to leave Forgotten Hollow. Alec choice to be stripped of his titles so he could marry Ember. Earl Michael, their father, and Absinthe were the only two that remained in contact with Alec after he was kicked out of the family.

In her young age, her best friends were Lady Lea Midae of Sulani, Prince Devin Donahue of Brindleton Bay, and Princess Jane of Windenburg. Absinthe had a massive crush on Devin though and was very obvious about it. Unfortunately, Lady Lea also had a crush on Devin and neither girl was willing to back off for the other. The two ruin their relationship as friends because of this. In the meantime, Devin had no clue any of this was happening and just wanted to be friends with the two.

## Teenage Years

As a teenager Princess Absinthe was pretty popular in school and acted as the Cheerleading Captain in her later years of highschool. She went to the same school as Prince Devin. Lady Lea attended a different school in Sulani which was good for Absinthe since the two were not on speaking terms over Devin. Princess Jane was five years younger than Absinthe so the pair stopped talking as Absinthe got older because Princess Jane was too young to relate with her anymore.

The same year the three entered highschool Prince Devin's nephew Bandon, was kidnapped and murdered by an unknown perpetrator. Bandon was only eight years old. Prince Devin was devastated and looked to his friends for support. Princess Absinthe struggled with being emotionally supportive for Devin but Lady Lea was able to be there for him through thick and thin. Prince Devin and Lady Lea started dating soon after which infuriated Absinthe. Instead of being obvious that she was jealous, she began to shift her focus back to her musical interests and royal duties.

Absinthe quickly became famous with her violin music and won a Starlight Accolade for her piece *The Doll Girl*. It didn't take long for Devin and Lea to break up because Lea was too clingy. Devin and Absinthe rekindled their friendship once he broke up with Lea and the pair dropped her completely.

A few years later in Absinthe's junior year of highschool, King Shane of Brindleton Bay and King Aries of Forgotten Hollow decided on an arranged marriage between Princess Absinthe and Prince Devin. Absinthe was very happy to hear this news and it also interested Devin who had been flirting with Absinthe on and off over the year. The pair became official in late 1160 and broke up in early 1161 because of an uprising political situation. With Absinthe holding an influential role in the royal family of Forgotten Hollow, she often didn't have a say when it came to political engagements. King Icarus of Magnolia Promenade had won the Magnolia Promenade Civil War and had named himself King, executing most of the title holders within Magnolia Promenade to ensure his position. This meant that if he agreed to marry Absinthe, the two nations could eventually become one again once their child takes the throne. Crown Princess Viviana, acting as the regent for her ill father, called of the betrothal with Prince Devin and submitted an offer for Absinthe's hand to King Icarus.

Absinthe was not happy about having to marry Icarus after she worked so hard to finally be with Devin, who she's loved since they were kids. However, Absinthe understood her role and took what she had been dealt with poise. The couple attended the Debutante Ball hosted at the Brindleton Bay palace together as their first public appearance as an engaged couple. After having a little bit too much to drink the couple hooked up outside of wedlock and Absinthe discovered she was pregnant some months later.

With Absinthe still being a senior in highschool, she quickly graduated and had a secret wedding with Icarus to ensure the child wouldn't be born outside of wedlock. The couple had a son named Alaric in 1162. Alaric would become the heir to the Magnolia Promenade throne and the third in line for the Forgotten Hollow Throne. The plan was that once he became king of both nations, the nations would unite again under the Forgotten Hollow flag.

## Young Adulthood

Absinthe was a young mother at twenty and had her second son ten months later at twenty-one. The boys name was Prince Silas and he resembled his mother in the eyes, rather than having the dark brown eyes that his father had.

The coupled planned to have one more child but wanted to wait a while to spend time with the ones they had now. The pair were vampires so they felt like they had forever in front of them to have more children. Lady Zarina, the late Crown Prince Cedric's wife, was not executed after the war in order to give her two daughters a mother and not be raised like how Icarus was. Lady Zarina, Lady Calliope, and Lady Ophira lived with Absinthe and Icarus because the King didn't trust that Lady Zarina wouldn't betray him.

In 1164 Absinthe and Princess Jane began to rekindle their relationship now that Jane was in highschool. A few years later when Jane got married in 1167, Queen Absinthe was the matron of honor for Princess Jane. 1167 was also the year that Absinthe's grandfather King Aries passed away from his vampiric paranoia. Absinthe's mom Vivana was crowned the Queen of Forgotten Hollow and Absinthe became the Crown Princess. Absinthe's dad, Earl Michael, returned to Forgotten Hollow from his home in Windenburg to serve as the Prince Consort of Forgotten Hollow. As for Absinthe's younger brother Orobus, he graduated early from high school and moved to Windenburg to take up his new role as the Earl of Windenburg. He is the first noble or royal member of Windenburg to not be born with the surname Min and still take on a title.
