Fiona Dietrich

**Fiona Dietrich** is the ruler of Sovella and its people, after she murdered both her parents in an act of “the greater good” due to their authoritarian and rather immoral treatment of their kingdom’s denizens.

## History

Having to tolerate it for years, Fiona eventually decided to overthrow her parents to try to save her people, but after realizing that an overthrow would likely cause a civil war of sorts, she begrudgingly opted to kill both of her parents by method of poisoning them. She would then go on the next day to tell the public a fabricated story of their deaths and that she would be the subsequent ruler after her crowning. Once crowned, her immediate course of action would be to alleviate the immense pressure on the people and replenish them with accessible food and water and the like. Fiona Dietrich was born into a powerful family that served as the governmental spine of Sovella, a large sovereign state that the Dietrichs were the rulers of. Being born into a state of high wealth, status and importance, Fiona was known to be very curt and straightforward in her youth, and still retains these traits to this day. As a royal family member and an heir to the throne, she was trained in the “ways of the monarchy”, their abilities, both governmental and supernatural, as well as their goals. That is, she would’ve if it weren’t for her parents’ hedonistic lifestyles that although satisfies them, comes at the cost of her subjects. It should be noted that she has grown attached to the denizens for quite awhile, and has several low-ranking friends that complain to her of their suffering. This left Fiona morally pained and guilty inside, and while she does give out handsome rations and hefty checks of cash to those that ask, she felt that it wasn’t enough. She had to do more. It was also around this time that she would be trained by her father how to fight and control her powers.

During a meeting with her parents, Fiona begged her parents to lighten up on the people and give them more rights and autonomy, but it was ignored. Over time, the situation got worse in Sovella with plagues and famine claiming the land in lengthy intervals, one right after the other.

With no other choice, being ignored after even going through unofficial and official means to free the people, she decided to overthrow her parents and replace them with either herself or a ruler that would ensure Sovella’s security and safety. This was advised against though due to the implications and possibility of a civil conflict. So, after 2 more years of constant mulling and thinking, she decided to assassinate her parents. This completely surprising move was all she could come up with as she hadn’t wanted anymore pain or suffering in the land, and had suffered herself with the loss of her closest friends to rampant plagues. So with no other choices in her mind, she went ahead and poisoned her parents by preparing them a “mighty feast” on their birthday. After going to bed, she was awakened by her father who, while sickened, had wished her blessings in her life before returning to sleep. The next day, both of her parents were found dead, sleeping peacefully in their bed until the time of their demise. Although broken and very sorrowful, Fiona immediately went onto the next step to restore Sovella, wearing a smile and burying herself in her work.

## Personality

Fiona is a bubbly, straightforward and kind individual that can be somewhat easy to distract and childish at times. She can also be hasty, cynical, rude or curt at times, although she rarely acts this way. There is a darker half to her though, and it was said half that allowed her to kill her parents with little to no remorse until the deed was done. Not much is known about it at the time. Fiona seemingly has an attachment to food as she can be seen most of the time nibbling on cheese sticks and fruit. Despite her self-sustenance abilities and high stamina, she can become mentally fatigued or irritable if she hasn't eaten in at least eight hours. For some reason (probably due to her hairstyle) she dislikes being seen without her crown. She also has a very intense phobia of water due to a near-drowning experience during her childhood, in which one of the guards barely saved her from certain death.

## Appearance

Fiona’s relatively light-skinned and tall, standing at near 6 feet tall and has a freckled appearance. She has brown, mid-length hair and a rather broad-shouldered stature, mostly due to her cape and epaulets. Under the velvet cape (which can also function as a hood-less cloak), she wears an outfit that resembles those of the King’s/Queen’s Guard. Due to her appetite and affinity towards food, Fiona’s quite chubby under the outfit that seemingly has a sewn-in girdle to give her a stocky but well-built look. When smiling, she is seen with a noticeable gap in her teeth as well as as them being almost bucked.

## Powers/Abilities

* **Trident Proficiency:** Fiona can form, wield and use her personal red trident as a deadly weapon with staggering precision and dexterity. Being able to create the weapon via magic at the age of 15, it is her preferred weapon of choice.
* **Trident Summoning:** Via unknown magic, Fiona has the ability to create one or more tridents for usage. This can include a singular one, two or many smaller ones fit to use as throwing knives. She can also force several to jut out of the ground underneath her opponent at hypersonic speeds for a deadly assault. In addition to tridents, Fiona is also able to summon weaponry that resembles them such as sai or tekpi.
