## Life

### Childhood

Rhianna was born in Carlisle, Cumbria on the 13th August 1995 to Louisa Rockwell in St. John's Hospital. Louisa had previously been in a relationship with Andrew Rockingham, pioneer of what was then RH100, a brand new stock market developed for UK businesses, but left the country after getting Louisa, then an British Army Warrant Officer, pregnant with Rhianna. Aged 2, Rhianna was placed in emergency care for a kidney defect which nearly killed her and left her without one of her kidneys and severely weakened her system of removing waste from her body. Aged 5, her father returned and was extremely abusive to her and her mother, and at one time, when she was 7-8, she was thrown out by her father. Rhianna, having nowhere to go, or no-one to turn to since everyone was scared of her father, was forced to fend for herself. Luckily, when she was 9 years old, her auntie Emma Rockwell, spotted Rhianna and picked her off the streets. Emma, assisting her niece, took her to Gibraltar when she lived for several years with her cousin, Astrid Rockwell. Aged 13-17 she was a Army Cadet on Gibraltar achieving the rank of RSM, and aged 18 she enlisted in the Gibraltar Regiment, doing her training on Gibraltar, passing her basic training as a Infantry soldier. She remained in Gibraltar until her 23rd birthday, training in being a field medic.

#### Early Army Career

Aged 23, Rhianna returned to the mainland to serve in the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment 1st Battalion as a Field Medic, having passed her Basic Army Field Medic Training (BAFMT). She served for 2 years as a private, during which a memorable incident occured.

On Thursday 10th Feburary 2022, Rhianna and her Platoon, led by Sergeant Wells, were sent to Phuket by Major Sir James Anderson, their Regimental OC. On the deployment, which was supposed to be a training exercise with the local Thai regiment, turned into a debacle. Firstly, they were given the wrong rooms by the hotel staff in a nice hotel, much to the shock of the soldiers who created much noise, and it became her first run-in with the then Commadore Nicholas Mountbatten and Defence Secretary Alexander Nelson. After that, they were given their own huts down the bottom of the hotel but when they were due to go on exercise, one of their own, a corporal hunted down and assaulted Mountbatten, to which the corporal was repremanded, stripped of his rank and sent back to the UK for trial by a military tribunal, whilst Rhianna spent over 3 hours pleading and apologising to Mountbatten for the incident, by which in the end he relented.

#### Rise to Officer Cadet

After Phuket, Rhianna was approached by the Regimental leader, Colonel Sir Graham Antony Walles, who said her performance in Phuket and her subsequent apology to the Commandore, had brought her much praise by some of his peers, and they believed she should have a chance to lead men in the field properly. To this end, he offered her a chance to train at Sandhurst and obtain a commission as a officer. After much deliberation, she accepted the offer and was transferred to Sandhurst as a Officer Cadet.

#### Commission Tribunal

After several weeks training at Sandhurst, Rhianna finally completed her training and after passing out, she was called to the Royal Commissions Tribunal, who interviewed her and her suitability for a full commission. It was decided that, after all her training and usefulness to the Crown, she would be promoted to be a Captain of the Grenadier Guards.

### Marriage to Captain Jacob Harper

Rhianna married Captain Jacob Harper (soon to be Mountbatten), in St. Pauls Cathedral on the 4th March 2022. The marriage was attended by a whole host of Rhianna's friends and allies, notably (then) Vice-Admiral Nicholas Mountbatten, Skar Quilor, Viscount Falkland and Dr. Hana Jimenez. As a result of the wedding, Rhianna was elevated from a common peasant to a Baronetess, adopting the town of Swillington, a small Cumbrian town, as where to hold her title.

## Business Career

### Rockwell Law

#### Foundation

Rhianna founded Rockwell Law a few days after she returned from Phuket, deciding that the state needed a competent, efficient and dedicated legal firm to represent the people of the Kingdom and provide a good legal service, to which many could not afford.

#### The D'Orleans Case

Rhianna's first and major case was to do with the Deputy Chief Constable of the Metropolitian Police, Grace D'Orleans, who was being accused of police brutality when she was stopping protests from getting out of hand by Clyde Biggins of the BBC. Due to the nature of the comment, Rhianna pushed for it to be heard in a court of law, despite their being no real legal basis for the claims to go to Court. The negotiations for the court were ongoing when Grace D'Orleans left the Kingdom, and as compensation Rhianna recieved £900 in compensation for the case.

#### The Mountbattens

Rockwell Law has had a peculiar, but close interaction with the Mountbatten Family. The Mountbattens have, on occassions, consulted and talked to Rhianna about key aspects such as marriage papers, divorce papers or advice on small legal matters outside of the firm. Rhianna's relationship with Jacob and Nicholas Mountbatten is also interesting; the former has asked Rhianna for divorce papers in the past and advice of legal matters such as divorce or marriage. Nicholas, whilst tending to support her rival firm, Edward Chambers LLP, has also occassionally asked for advice.

#### Merging

On the 26th February 2022, Edwards approached Rhianna and requested a merger of the firms into one, with both of them recieving 50% of the profits. Rhianna agreed and by the 27th February, they were partners controlling London Chambers LLP.

### Rockwell Exchange

#### Foundation

The Rockwell Exchange was founded after the death of Andrew Rockingham, her father, when he died in New York after contracting a chest infection, aged 71. On his death, it was announced to Rhianna that Andrew had left her the RH100 Exchange to stop his younger brother (and Rhianna's uncle), James Rockingham, from receiving it. Upon his death and her control over the Exchange, she announced its creation into the Rockwell Exchange.

#### Cleansing

Upon her takeover, there were many who saw her, due to her illegitimacy, as the unrightful heir to the company and demanded she cede control over it to James, who by rights should have ceded it. The enemies against her were many, but her largest foes were the top, where they threatened to close the Market down and send a few countries, notably Ukraine, Latvia, and Slovakia, into recession. In a legal case fought in the British Supreme Court, *Rockwell v. Aridale*, it was ruled that Rockwell have full control over the Exchange. To this end, she replaced those who opposed her and installed what a few would call "Rockwellians", a loyalist group who has consolideated her control over the market..

## Family

#### Andrew Rockingham

Andrew Lewis Graham Rockingham (1951-2022) was the only son of Alexander Rockingham, an American ex-serviceman who had fought in WW2, and Patricia Caldale, a young British nurse. Andrew grew up in this relatively well off family and grew up to be an intelligent and well-read man, eventually attending Oxford where he studied Mathematics and Business. After leaving the univesity with a 1st degree Bachelor of Arts, he spent time abroad in New York working for the New York STock
