Diamond

## Background

### 1996 - 2016: Nerai

House Diamond was formerly ruled by King Larnar, the first born son of Queen Irai II. With his wife, Lady Elizora of House Obsidian, they raised two children: Prince Omon & Princess Talza. Unfortunately, Prince Omon died during a pandemic that spread across Gemworld in 1994. As the new heir to the throne & with her father also falling sick from the pandemic, Talza rushed to have children of her own in case she suffered the same fate as her famiy. Her father would pass away when she was four months pregnant with the twins Zushan & Hadrane.

Princess Nerai was born the next year, making her the third child & second daughter of Queen Talza & Sir Reishan. Two years later, they welcomed thier last child Prince Talzanar. The children of House Diamond were not that close as most royal siblings are. As the four grew up, it was clear that there all had very different interests. Zushan cared most about ruling their house, Hadrane focused on becoming a mother one day & Talzanar wanted a life free of responsibilities. As Nerai knew she would likely not inherit the bloodpower, she focused on her academics like her mother. This divide led to them becoming close friends with children in other royal families instead. Nerai became close friends with Princess Kynalanae of House Agate, as she spent a lot of times with the mages of House Diamond to help master her blood power.

Nerai quotes Kynalanae as being the person to help her realize that she was interested in girls. Nerai quickly developed a crush on her, one that Kyna was unaware of for some time due to her having a small crush of Nerai's brother Zushan. After this realization, Nerai would go on to be involved with many other royals & commoners though this cannot be confirmed other than some rumors floating throughout the realm.

In 2013, a war broke out in Gemworld between House Amethyst & House Opal with many other houses picking sides. However, House Diamond was an anomally as they remained neutral in the war due to their status as the spiritual center of the realm. Despite staying away from all the fighting, Nerai was quite fascinated with combat & decided to learn the art. As the war waged on, Nerai spent the next few years learning combat from the best her house had to offer until the war somewhat died down. Afterwards, Nerai was able to convince her parents to let her travel to House Turquoise so that she could further her training there as the house was known for their elite warriors.

When Nerai returned to the Diamond Domain, she learned that her eldest brother was now engaged to Princess Wrynne of House Topaz. Their parents had brokered an alliance & decided to marry their children to seal the deal. As Zushan was the current heir to the throne, Wrynne would eventually rule House Diamond by his side & bring honor to her family. The only problem was that Wrynne was not interested in Zushan, or anyone of the male species for that matter. Nerai quickly picked up on this & seduced her brother's fiancée.

### 2016 - Present: Diamond

While Nerai's upbringing was filled with the usual demands of etiquette & courtly affairs, she desired more for herself. She yearned for a life beyond the confines of the palace & the expectation that she would marry into another influential family to strengthen political alliances was not something she wanted to.

In an act of defiance against her family's wishes & the royal engagement that had been set, Nerai made a daring decision. She & Wrynne decided to run away, leaving behind their life of privilege & the comforts of the palace. The couple embarked on a perilous journey together, seeking freedom & the chance to live a life of their own choosing.

Eventually the pair found themselves none other than Earth. After months of struggling & getting themselves adjusted, Nerai & Wrynne found themselves in an interesting new career: mercenaries.
