Crowned Princess Marianne of Crala

Siera spent most of her early life in Brindleton Bay. Her father was Prince Robert, a minor prince of Forgotten Hollow, and her mother was Cecilia Piotr, the sister of Prince Marcus of Brindleton Bay. She also lived with her twin brother, Eilan. The family didn't inherit much money from their relatives, and stayed in a small flat off the beach of Brindleton. She also didn't have many connections with her extended family either, especially her cousins, the Imperial Family of Yustea (back then it was still Forgotten Hollow). Her paternal aunt, Princess Marie of Forgotten Hollow, was overbearing and rude. She constantly sought for attention and obsessed over her more fortunate relatives, especially Robert and his family; asking them for money constantly. Many distanced themselves from the Princess, including her own brother and children. They refrained from Forgotten Hollow to avoid Robert's sister, but occasionally visited their cousins when they knew she left the country.

Siera was arranged to wed her now husband as babies but weren't able to meet until they were teenagers when Joska already was Kaiser years earlier. After months of talking and going out on dates, the pair have a tender and loving relationship. After the arrangement became public, many weren't keen on their future Empress Consort, since she was a low noble that had no titles to inherit nor much land. The late Kaiser Vaughn picked Siera due to her good health and close ties with her paternal family, who were descended from the royal family of Yustea. On their wedding day, the guests were more enthralled by the bride rather than the groom, who was seen as demure and like a fairytale princess. All of the guests assumed she was innocent by the way she spoke and her hesitance to be with the new groom, the Emperor. It seemed her initial image was fairly positive with the people. However, Siera's image of innocence was only a façade.

## Succession to the Throne of Yustea

### Preceded By

Lady Sakura of Brindleton Bay, Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Sulani, and Windenburg

### Followed By

Crowned Princess Marianne of Crala

Her introduction to Cralian life and culture was hard for her to adjust to. Especially since she and her groom produced a child right before their wedding. Joska and Siera were hoping they would be able to hide the pregnancy until after the wedding, but the baby, Marianne arrived earlier than expected. For the next few weeks, before the wedding was for Siera to recover. Joska tried desperately to keep the baby out of the public eye and the royal court. The heir's birth was announced after the wedding and the scandal was quietly hushed up by the palace. However, it left a stain on the emperor's reputation and especially the new empress. Nonetheless, the couple were pleased with their baby girl and celebrated the birth. They continued to throw celebration parties as their future children were born. Now, throwing big parties for the births of children is a common practice throughout Crala because of the Emperor and Empress.

## Relationships

Now empress, Siera now has better standing with Yustea and the imperial family. Princess Marie has been trying to bug her and ask for royal favors and money, but the most she did was arranged for Marie's son, Milo to marry her cousin in law, Kata. Marie, now thinking she can take advantage of Siera, has tried to have more influence on her, like suggesting she still keeps her title of Lady of Forgotten Hollow even though mostly everyone had changed their to Yustea or took it out entirely. However, since then, she has refrained from responding to any of Marie's advice.
