## History

### HCU SMP (pre-SD01)

Long before the birth of this server, Fresh joined the HCU SMP. She initially joined the nation of Austria with several other HCU SMP members, but following the dissolution of Austria during a war with Old Cosonia, Fresh started anew by founding the nation of Dai Viet in the Red River Delta region. While never as influential as Old Gazakia, Dai Viet managed to become relatively prosperous, owning colonies on the Malay Peninsula and Australia, and its only major threat was briefly the Sibir Khanate, which was kept at bay by an alliance with Old Gazakia (foreshadowing future connections between Kiskeya and New Gazakia). Sadly, the HCU SMP server eventually died and the world disappeared from Aternos.

### Season 1 (SD89-SD146)

#### Arrival in IMMC and time as Governor of Yura (SD89 - SD101)

On late SD89, Fresh suddenly found herself in a new universe, being this server. She was part of a string of sudden transports which included guapathecat, Deme, the population of New Gazakia, and (later) the slugs. To her dismay, Vietnam was already owned by the Chinese Federation. For a time, she was conflicted between founding a new nation in eastern Australia and joining Wadjina, but this decision was resolved upon the founding of Aurelia on SD92. Fresh then contacted the Head Council of Wadjina, which invited her to govern the new city of Yura. However, between the relative lack of trees and poor land quality, her inexperience in urban planning, the threat of monster attacks, and dangers posed by the exposed caverns which dotted the landscape, Fresh found herself too stressed out to continue and resigned on SD101.

#### Founding of Kiskeya and tension with Brittany (SD101 - SD103)

While visiting the island of Hispaniola following her resignation, Fresh was contacted by the Kiskeyan Liberation Front (KLF), an independence movement which had existed since the founding of the Imperial Protectorate of Vartan. Upon being informed of the plight of the inhabitants of the island, she was persuaded to join their cause. This pulled her into conflict with Amelie, the leader of Brittany and later Prime Minister of Atlantis, who made several failed attempts at reasserting control over Hispaniola, and prompted her to join PAL. Soon after the official foundation of Kiskeya on SD102, Fresh met with guapathecat (an old friend and ally of hers) and Empress Krevrantine to celebrate the foundation of Kiskeya. On the same day, Amelie made a final unsuccessful attempt at justifying her claim over Hispaniola by publishing a fabricated survey claiming that the majority of the slug population of Kiskeya wished for the return of New Wales, but this was swiftly thwarted by a rigorous survey conducted by a team of PAL researchers.

#### As President of Kiskeya (SD103 - SD146)

*Main article:* Republic of Kiskeya

During her time as the president of Kiskeya, Fresh oversaw several construction works such as the reparation and renovation of Harawa Bridge and the construction of Mawana Bridge and Kiskeya Tower. She also helped to set the republic's government up and made several reforms to improve the citizens' quality of life. During her time as president, the Republic of Kiskeya expanded to include the easternmost islands in the Lucayan Archipelago (gained from a treaty with Cherashaw) and the Western Antarctic (gained in the aftermath of the collapse of Undersnow). During the final days of Earth, Fresh directed the entire population of Kiskeya through a portal in New Gazakia leading away from Earth to ensure their survival, and though she intended to follow them after everyone has gone in, she was unexpectedly transported to Terra en route.

### Season 2 (FD1 - present)

After being transported to Terra and stumbling upon Sermadava, Fresh promptly moved there to live a low-profile life free from the stressors of politics.
