**Viktoria** was born on the 6th of January 1928 in **Königsland** to her father Karl, and mother Ebba Ailsa. Her father (1875-1943) was the heir to the throne of Roessen, her mother (1899-1943)  was a humble painter from Denmark.

Her father was born in **Berlin** and had served as an officer in the **German provisional army of the dominion of Bismarck**. During operation lionheart his commanding officer was killed and he was forced to take command of his unit. The Aristocratic junior officer ordered his men to retreat into the Roessen forests. For the rest of the war he and his men waged a **Guerrilla** War against the occupying forces of the **Entente**. They were known as the **Braunschweig Bandits**.

After the war he spent some time in Germany but left in exile to Denmark sometime during the **Weimar** years. There in Copenhagen he met the love of his life, a lower class Jewish Danish painter. They married then moved back to Roessen and started a family there. In Roessen he wasted no time in making connections with royalist supporters and veterans of the Great War. He was vocally against Hitler and used the Nazi regime as an example of the flaws of a Republican system. He formed a royalist party. Many Roessen's of german heritage liked him for his sense of humour, and even by some socialists he was seen as a kind and charismatic figure.

Viktoria was not the first born, her brother **Frederick** was born four years earlier. Her father made the two learn multiple languages, history, and philosophy. However his son was encouraged to spend most of their days reading and learning as Karl didn’t want him to grow to become a violent brute of a monarch if the throne was ever to be restored.

For most of her early years Viktoria spent her days horse riding, fishing, and hunting. She often did these activities with her father and learned to shoot and hide in forests rather well, from him.

## WORLD WAR II

Just before the war began Fredrick without his fathers permission enlisted in the **Roessen Republican Guard**. He was killed in 1940 shortly after, during the first battle of Operation Weserübung in Roessen. Fredrick's father grief stricken and angry at the cowardice displayed by many of the political elites who ignored the warning signs and ran rather than protecting the Jewl of the Strait. Took up arms and rallied old comrades from the First World War. They formed the royalist league of opposition to national socialist occupation.

His force of guerrillas disrupted trade, blew up bridges, gave intel to the allies, and carried out assassinations. They even killed a **Reichskommissar**, which led to harsh reprisals and the eventual downfall of Karl. During this guerrilla war Vicktoria and her mother were forced to move around a lot, not knowing what would happen each day and fearful for the future. Some Roessen's saw the royalist league as freedom fighters others as trouble making terrorists. The communist partisans were one such group who did not appreciate their activities or beliefs and saw them as a rival. With one such communist partisan group going so far as to attack the royalist league leading to a complicated partisan war.

In early 1943 a anarchist band of partisans assaulted the royalist league leadership camp in which Viktoria and her mother and father were staying at. Her father ordered his wife and daughter to flee with one of his lieutenants. Karl fought valiantly to buy as much time for them as possible but was shot then hung up on a tree with a message reading “This is what happens to would be kings” the body would later be recovered and buried by royalist league forces.

Viktoria and her mother escaped, they scavenged and hunted for food for some time. Eventually however they were found by the SS. They had been betrayed by the lieutenant who was sent to protect them. Viktoria’s mother was then raped and murdered by the thugs. Viktoria was then sent to **Kirchfelden** concentration camp. There she almost died of starvation until allied troops liberated the camp in 1944.

## GLORIOUS PURPOSE

Viktoria does not talk much about her experiences in the war, she had wished to try to move on with her life despite the constant nightmares and scars she posses.

However In 1946 a representative of the royalist league party and family friend offered her the chance to become the figure head of the party. At first she was reluctant, but decided to take part after hearing the state of the country. She sees the Royalists as defenders of order and justice, and as a way to honour her father's legacy. She stood in Königsland and is now a senator of the republic.

She wishes to improve the lives of everyday folk and to defend the nation from extremism in whatever form that takes.
