## Felicyta Janowicz

*"Let it be known, that Felicyta Janowicz shall the first ruler in human history who sacrificed her entire country land and power to save her country's people - what politician or ruler in the history of the world would do the same?"* - Johnathan Kirby, about Felicyta's evacuation of Poland, 2051

## **Overview**

Felicyta was born in a small cabin in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sanok, Poland. Her mother died just two years after she was born, due to Tuberculosis. Although Felicyta would always express sadness about her Mother's death, she admits that it's difficult to feel sad for someone she barely knew. Being raised as an only child until the age of five by her father, Sebastyen Janowicz, she eventually was joined by Kvetka Svoboda first from a Czech orphanage in Prague.

Two months later, Rozsi and Zsofia was adopted by Sebastyen from an orphanage in Pecs, Hungary. This group of four would spend their entire childhood together, frequently playing in the vast forests of Southern Poland, sharing memories of snowmen and hot pancakes. At the same time, Sebastyen Janowicz would hire private tutors in order to educate his children on French, English, Arabic, Chinese, and German, along with extensive studies in history and politics. Sebastyen intended to rear them up as capable politicians for the future. Although Felicyta never expressed a dislikiing for this arrangement, she didn't particularly enjoy it either, however would spend the next thirteen years of her life being unable to decide on what she actually wanted to do. During this time she would occasionally go out to Krakow with her siblings, and take brief trips around the world to enrich her cultural experience - of this included a trip to Indonesia, where she posed for her certification in Indonesian Studies in front of a rumbling Krakatoa.

During a stormy Christmas evening when Felicyta was ten, she unexpectedly found herself lost and encountered a number of spectres in the forests, the remnants of dead and regretful soldiers. They claimed she was the Blood of the White Eagle, and this frightened Felicyta, who would spend the rest of her life thinking about the events of that Christmas night. These events continued to haunt her, and Felicyta would occasionally see these spectres at seemingly random times and places in her life, to which she kept to herself.

At the age of eighteen, she left for the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, where she bid goodbye to her longtime siblings, who were also heading off to college in their respective countries. Before leaving, the four of them took a last day trip to Krakow and attended a Christmas party held by their father, which consisted of important politicians and individuals around the world. Before leaving, Kvetka gave Felicyta a crown of thorns and roses, pledging that the two of them will see each other soon.

Upon arriving at college she encountered Maja Kaminska for the first time, who lived with her at a dormitory. The two of them quickly became close friends, and eventually Felicyta began to open up to the idea of finding things that she might like. After fishing in the Vistula, painting graffiti in Krakow Old Town, and dressing up a statue of Pope John Paul II as Jorge Alvarez, Felicyta began to genuinely enjoy her life, at the cost of her schoolwork failing. This was exacerbated by the fact that she began to show feelings for her taxi driver, Franciszek Wysocki, and spent more time being around him. After her father found out about her failing grades, he forced her to return to their old family home, to study in peace. Felicyta for the first time in life refused her fathers demand, and escaped from the University to hide in the city and countryside with Maja and the occasional help of Franciszek. After evading police for fifty two days, they were eventually caught when Franciszek informed Felicyta's father. The Polish State Polish found their hiding spot in the woods and apprehended them, much to the horror of Francisek who watched.

Heartbroken that Francisek betrayed her, but also heartbroken that she had to leave Krakow and Maja, Felicyta spent her next year at home despondant and depressed, barely able to read the texts that her father instructed to. Much to Felicyta's dismay, her father informed her his plan to prop up her as the Monarch of Poland, due to the rising popularity of his own Monarchist Visegrad movement and Felicyta's qualifications. Although she wanted to resist, Felicyta saw once again an image of the war torn spectres in front of her, an array of thousands of soldiers saluting her with solemn looks. Feeling a thousand years of conflict and pain set upon her shoulders, Felicyta agreed to her father's plans. Felicyta would pull through due to the continued support of Maja through a series of letters, and the occasional visit to her siblings in Hungary and Czechia. On one summer night Maja snuck her way into Felicyta's house, and the two of them spent the evening reminiscing over their past friendship, vowing to meet again. For the next five years, Felicyta commited herself to her studies, in recognition of her obligaton to not only the people of Poland, but of the world.

In 2042, Felicyta would meet Maja again, and the two of them would rejoice to see each other again. Allowing Felicyta some degree of freedom, Sebastyen allowed Felicyta to live in Krakow with Maja, until this was interrupted by the victory of the Polish Monarchist Party in 2044. Electing Felicyta to as Monarch of Poland, naming her Jadwiga II, Jadwiga would rule her country effectively the next several years, bringing needed reform to the Eastern regions of Poland alongside a fierce diplomatic situation between Eastern Europe and Russia. Situations like the Annexation of Moldova, attempted partition of Bulgaria, and formation of Reformed Yugoslavia would test Felicyta's diplomatic capabilities, to which she triumphed usually on top. Anticipating the outbreak of a world war, Felicyta made the difficult decision to evacuate her people from Poland, leaving only those who wanted to stay. In what became known as "The Eagle's Flight," a total of 42,000,000 civilians were evacuated, alongside important industries relocated abroad. This action would save Poland from countless needless deaths and atrocities, and although was looked down upon by military leaders and War Hawks, was a decision praised by the international community and even by the Democratic Coalition. Felicyta would continue to lead her people and armies from England, Guiding them throughout the Third Great War and its years of toil and conflict.

## Personality

Mature, reserved, serious, cautious and capable, Felicyta makes her decisions wisely and with no small amount of help from her family and friends. Attached to ordinary people and their struggles, her decisions to abandon her entire company to preserve lives is one that no ordinary Monarch would make. Although sometimes doubtful of her abilities, Felicyta maintains a cool, ice like composure, but can be a loving and affectionate person around those that she cares about. Often described as wise beyond her years, her tendency towards careful but yet decisive decision making makes her one of the greatest Monarchs to have ruled Poland.
