Senna and Jemi have long been close friends with each other. Meeting in school, the two grew close after sharing similar interests.

###### **Opinions**

**Isoira**: *Being so far away I’ve never really cared about them, now I have to pretend I care about their religious practices. Whatever gains goodwill.*

**Furukanne***: They don’t care about us, and if I’m Queen, I won't care about their goal. The Sine continent is infamous for a reason. I’ll make them suffer and eventually come running to Rokalia.*

**Kodra***: Troublesome little faction that Roko said required care. At least Kodria is beautiful.*

**Sylxa***: Another troublesome little nation that needs to be humbled. It appears now that I don’t really like any other nation, I don’t. Their tourists are so weird too.*

**Jesnara***: Whilst their power is respectable, and I love Jess, they think they’re better than they really are. I know we could contest them if we could, but this expansionist way of thinking isn’t going to cut it if I want to be Queen.*

**Rokalia***: The place for me to hide and start a new life if I ever went against the council. Anyway, Rokalia is an absolute shithole that appears nice on the outside. As much as I respect the current royalty, there’s no way they’ve done a good job of protecting Rokalia, actually, they must be doing it on purpose, but why?*

**Reides***: There really isn't a single likeable nation except ours, huh. The Reides can rot with Izra when I beat her to the Queen.*

**Kely-Halia***: My beautiful set of postcard islands standing up to the world. Man, aren’t we incredible? Surely Roko sees how great we are.*

## **History**

Jemi’s education throughout Mismadon Academy, a private educational institution, nurtured her into a competitive and academically astute individual. The academy was designed to pitch students against each other to breed competition in an attempt to maximise academic potential. The academy did this by creating a points system where academic performance as well as deeds gave points. With roughly two hundred students per age group, the bottom twenty at the end of the year were not allowed to progress and were held back, if held back more than twice, they were expelled. This academy was notorious for producing some of the country’s great leaders and academics.

###### ***The social circle***

Jemi was a popular student. This was aided by her looks and her friends. Jemi’s friend group consisted of a large group of varsity sport members as Jemi would partake in sporting events, primarily track and field, where she was an above-average performer, though nothing notable. Jemi’s primary friend group, consisting of twelve girls, were known to cause drama and were seen as overly competitive. What kept them close was their team activities and recreational activities as part of the team. Jemi met Senna from this group. Senna, unlike most others in the school, was a genuine and likeable character. Jemi and Senna shared their competitive spirit and academic performance however Senna was far more sport-focused than Jemi as she was a member of the Mismadon track squad that would compete against neighbouring cities and elite clubs.

Senna, more focused on sport, never interfered with Jemi’s goals and instead would try to assist her friend in achieving them. This was a rare sight in the academy as usually people would only look out for themselves. However, this was only the case in the more academic side of the school. Senna, being more involved within sport, had no reason to oppose Jemi in her academic goals.

###### ***The famed candidate program***

Mismadon Academy was one of three elite schools in Kely-Halia that offered the highly sought-after Queen candidate preliminary candidate program. This was a program for ages 16-27 that would send them onto a two-year course to determine if they should become a preliminary candidate to become Kely-Halia’s Queen candidate. Jemi’s parents entered her into the course at 17 years old. The course was done in after-school time periods and would usually take up an extra two hours per day.

Kely-Halia’s preliminary candidate program consists of seminars, lectures and projects focused on politics but also campaigning, good-will activities, interviews and exams. To be eligible, one must be a female in the top ten of their age group for academic performance and receive at least ten recommendations from high-status individuals or professors. Jemi was not in the top ten of academics, or even in the top thirty. However, Jemi had an outstanding thirty-seven recommendations from high-status individuals so was allowed as an exception.

###### ***Earning the scorn of peers***

Jemi’s large number of recommendations generated scorn within the program as some taking it alongside her did not deem her worthy of being on the course and would frequently claim corruption. Jemi received this number of recommendations from her Father’s power within his company.

Dexter Kalla-Halliojun was a business owner with a large number of connections in high-places. Dexter, instead of asking for favours, would instead blackmail these individuals into recommending his daughter. Dexter’s company, a tech giant in Mismadon, gathered personal data on a number of high-status individuals through spyware and backdoors injected into various software that he would offer to the individuals as an ‘elite package’ not accessible to the typical public.

###### ***A genuine candidate***

Jemi excelled in the course with her Father’s backing. Jemi was selected as a preliminary candidate after the course. Jemi became Kely-Halia’s underdog Queen candidate through a series of votes within the leadership of the country and people. Jemi was genuine and believed to fit the look of a Queen as well. Jemi became popular amongst the public for her real desire and passion of Haliojun prosperity whilst other candidates seemed to be faking it or did not have the country's best interests at heart. Jemi, to many of her old ‘friends’’ dismay, became the country’s Queen candidate two years later.
