Red Queen

## Background

### 1518 - 1537: Anastasia Fresne

Anastasia is the daughter of Lady Victoria Fresne & the younger sister of Drizella. The two girls never knew their father & their mother never mentioned him, which made it clear to the two sisters to never ask about him. Growing up, she was quite close with her older sister. Her mother's overbearing & condescending attitude assured that.

At the age of twelve, her mother married a highly successful & wealthy business merchant named Sir Francis Tremaine. Upon their marriage, Anastasia & Drizella gained a stepsister by the name of Arabella, or Ella for short. Anastasia got along quite well with her new sister due to their their close proximity in age. Her new stepfather commented how he was quite happy with the new arrangement as he had felt Ella needed more company due to his work travels. But the nice times did not last for the Tremaine family. As soon as Francis began travelling for work again, Ana's mother's true self reared her head & began to treat Ella terribly.

Ana first defended Ella, speaking up for the unfair treatment. But after a secret conversation with her mother, Ana's personality switched. She began joining in with her mother & sister on bullying Ella then when her father would return, they would act like nothing happened. When Sir Francis "suddenly" passed away after two years of marriage, Ana quickly connected the dots to her mother but didn't say a word.

With Ella's father gone, Victoria turned her into the family's housemaid & did evey task they asked of her. After a particular incident led to a spat betweenher mother & stepsister, Drizella decided to take it upon herself to burn Ella's dress that belonged to her mother & give her the name "Cinder-Ella" as her dress was covered in soot.

While these antics continued on for several more years, Anastasia began taking a back seat to the bullying after meeting a man by the name of Will Scarlet. He belonged to the Merry Men, a group of outlaws that stole from the rich to give to the poor. Though a confusing concept at first, Ana still found herself enamored by the young man.

When her stepsister Ella was picked by Prince Charming of the Silver Realm to be his new wife, Ana decided it was time for her to leave as well. She wasn't sure where to go until Will offered her a place with the Merry Men. After packing her bags & walking out the door, Ana is confronted by her mother & sister. She accosted her for throwing away her life of privlege for one of a thief. She warned her to never return home unless she's willing to be their new housemaid. With her mother's harsh words ringing in her head & tears running down her eyes, Ana walked off with Will to a new adventure.
