## Biography

### **Origin**

Cupa was born in the wilds of Rathnir - her mother was a human, but her father was a creeper. Her father, the first creeper, was originally a pig, but after consuming copious amounts of gunpowder, he glitched into the form of an explosive, green abomination.

Cupa's anatomy is entirely unique, a consequence of her lineage. In place of a heart she has a music disc within her chest - the source of the disc is unknown, though it does provide Cupa with the life energy to be considering semi-immortal, and allows her to recover from injury far faster than most other living creatures. However, the disc does render her to be very unstable, at risk of glitching and being warped into the form of an abomination, far more dangerous than her current humanoid form. To prevent this from occurring, Cupa possesses a stabilizing relic, an apple forged of solid gold, enchanted with a spell to act as a corporeal anchor, keeping her from transforming or glitching.

### **Early Life**

Cupa and her parents lived a simple life outside of civilization in Rathnir, until a group of bandits began to persecute them for being 'abominations'. These bandits captured Cupa's mother, and Cupa never saw her again - she is presumed to be dead. Cupa and her father fled across the untamed lands of Rathnir for a short time until they happened upon a ruined frame of obsidian. As the bandits closed in on them, a bit of volatile gunpowder caught flame, and within the frame a swirling purple gateway had opened. Without any other options, Cupa and her father lept into the portal, which thrust them into a hellish wasteland. Continuing to flee, they crossed an unstable strip of reddish rock, which sunk into the lava just below. The bandits did not dare pursue them after seeing the state of this infernal dimension, and returned to Rathnir.

Cupa and her father roamed through the Nether for nearly a day before arriving upon another obsidian frame, though this time, it was already active. Again, the two stepped through the humming portal, passing through to the sound of waves upon a shore and seabirds overhead. As they looked around, they saw a group of armed men, one wearing a crown. Instinctively, the two cowered in fear, and as the crowned man approached them, they fled all the way to the shoreline.

The man introduced himself as the Imperator of the Uraki Imperium, Neo Aurelian; he had just arrived with a scouting party to survey the island he had just claimed: Eska. A generous man, Neo did his best to calm the two down, and offered to make them the first two residents of the island, seeing that they had been through immense hardship.

Years later, Cupa lived within the castle that she had built on Eska with her father when Neo made a surprise visit to the island, the first time he had been there in person for many years. He came with several attendants and several gilded boxes. Neo presented Cupa with a crown, and deemed her to be a High Princess of the Uraka for her service - she had transformed the island from an uninhabited land into a sprawling town, and he saw fit to reward her with not only a title, but ownership of not only Eska, but all the surrounding isles.

### **Life as a High Princess**

Cupa united the islands of Gulligan under her banner and continued construction projects, using several enchanted relics to allow for submarine construction to occur with ease, granting workers the ability to breathe both air and water. As High Princess, she met a visitor to the island, Maple, who decided to live there after meeting Cupa and touring the isles of Eska and Marsklo. The two took a liking to each other, and were eventually wed, with Cupa deciding to found the royal house of Guil to commemorate their union; this house would consist of the rightful owners of the isles of Gulligan and heirs to Cupa's domain.

### **Current Affairs**

House Guil expanded to contain Kami after he befriended Cupa. In an attempt to discover a means to prevent herself from glitching permanently, without need for a stabilizing relic, she studied the language of the enchanters, and became fluent in the runic script that allowed magic to be imbued into items. For now, Cupa has unfortunately been unsuccessful at finding a means to cure herself of the glitch, and must rely on her golden apple to remain in her stable form.
