Emilia Eurythnia

Princess Garb

## History

Nearly twenty years before Princess Emilia was born, the Verk Empire began its expansion across the continent of Etera. The Maevel Kingdom, occupying the northernmost section of the continent, had just enough time to recognize that a prolonged siege by the empire was unwinnable given their comparative military might, especially due to a poor harvest that year that left the small kingdom's supplies diminished. However, that information wasn't well known, and King Eurythnia leveraged the kingdom and its apparent military might, which was enough to at least inflict losses on the imperial forces, for his own status. The Maevel Kingdom would surrender and become a part of the Verk Empire, and in exchange, its people would be allowed to continue on largely unmolested and the Eurythnia royal bloodline would be allowed to retain their titles and some degree of political leverage within the empire, albeit ultimately subject to the laws of the empire.

Some time later, 'King' Eurythnia relocated to the imperial capital where his daughter, Emilia, was eventually born. Growing up, while Emilia lacked the authority a princess might ordinarily have, she was nonetheless pampered and priviliged, only knowing about her kingdom from lessons in history and never truly understanding her situation. She might have been content, had that been her life, but it wasn't destined to be. A scant couple of months before the princess' 21st birthday, something happened in the Empire while it was fighting a rebellion, and a pulse of necromantic energy destroyed nearly all of the towns and cities outside of the capital still under imperial control, including what used to be the Maevel Kingdom. Hearing of the tragedy from rebel sympathizers in the capital, the princess decided something had to be done, and she decided to take up arms against the Empire, joining the rebellion in their final push...

## Appearance

Lithe, luscious, and rather well-endowed, Emilia is blessed with a celestial heritage. Though she is uncertain herself how the blood of Elysium flows through her veins, her violet eyes, platinum colored hair, and golden halo mark her all too obviously as something more than human.

Blessed with a wealthy and privileged upbringing as well, Emilia wears only the finest clothing adorned with a wealth of gems and jewels when not acting in disguise, but while out adventuring, in order to not draw undue attention, and more importantly to keep her father from learning that she's sneaking off to play hero instead of hiring someone to do that for her, while she still only wears the finest cloth, her outfit of choice is based off of one she saw in an eastern play, form fitting and light allowing her to move about easily, with a mask that conceals her features. To aid the disguise, she makes an effort to keep her halo dismissed as well.

## Personality

Despite her privileged upbringing, and perhaps because of her musetouched heritage, Emilia doesn't like staying in one place for too long and loves listening to stories of people both great and terrible. And while she has no great drive to be a hero herself, she can't help but want to aid those who are suffering when she learns about them, but is too impatient to consider long term aid when she might do something immediately. As a result, she's not afraid to rush to the front lines to fight in a battle, even if she might aid more people by working on tax code. She is, however, deathly afraid of disappointing her father by acting improperly, and as a result, she takes great pains to keep her identity secret while adventuring.

## Aspirations

To see the Maevel Kingdom restored and to bring the Verk Empire to justice for the crimes it committed in its wanton slaughter of countless thousands across the continent during the rebellion.
