 i could never leave,you and the **city lights**.

**Full Name:**

Kseniya Vladimirovna Talnika
**Age:**

Twenty-seven
**Employment:**

Queen of Tourvaille
**Species:**

Seer
**Weapons:**

Other than her power to see the future and the Tourvaillean armies at her disposal, Kseniya carries very few weapons; she is a woman of intellectual cool and strength rather than of force, which is perhaps why she matches so well with Xenia. They do say that opposites attract, right? That said, she does carry around a staff. Not quite as usual as a blade, but she does know how to use it.

**Appearance:**

Her FC is Felicity Jones.
**Personality:**

Kseniya is a quietly diplomatic woman with an aura of genuineness about her, a calmness that puts her companions at ease. She is easily capable of calm, cold diplomatics, but rarely is able to completely exclude her feelings from the occasion. This grace does not mean she is not talkative, indeed the Queen can say a lot, she thrives through public speaking and imparting her opinion, and she strongly prefers conversation that means something.
Born into the high class of Altheria, this reflects in everything from her posture to her well-spoken nature, but nothing about her past this is Altherian, hence why she never felt like that place was somewhere she truly belonged. The arts, a new and revolutionary idea, is something that Kseniya was always passionate about but had never been able to pursue in Altheria.
Her Sight is not something that burdens her, although she does weigh its advantages and disadvantages in both palms. While her genuine nature and generally kind nature leads people to trust her, she can be quite intimidating when threatened. While Xenia and Njord are the brawn, she and Gabriel are more of the brains side of the Tourvaillean new monarchy. Her new kingdom has inspired her; she is accepting, open, and happy. As someone who believes strongly in destiny, to fulfill hers as the Queen of Tourvaille is her ultimate goal until she should die.
Kseniya is passionately protective of her friends and her people to the point she will start an altercation, and is much more reckless about this than if the starting issue is about *her.*Growing up in Altheria she does not lack knowledge of darkness, and likewise does not lack bravery - but it is when others she loves are in danger that this inner fire rears its head and takes her enemies by surprise.
**History:**

When Kseniya Talnika was born, if you told her parents she'd shape the seventh kingdom of Avalon, they'd laugh. They lived in the High Sector - *in Altheria*- who'd want to leave? Most who tried ended up dead, and they sure didn't predict that their daughter was so hellbent on fulfilling her destiny that they'd do something she thought stupid. Of course, nowadays, if you ask them, they never had a daughter. Disowned her the moment it was clear she'd left Altheria. For someone to leave the Kingdom was shameful, and, quite obviously, once gone, they could never return.
But for the first sixteen years of her life, she was the relatively normal daughter of two noblemen (aside from being a Seer) who liked to read books alone and didn't much indulge in the...Altherian culture. She'd watch as their household filled up with siblings, see some of them fated to death and disease and others destined to thrive. But it was her own destiny she craved to see, and it was this that she never saw in the majority of her time spent in Altheria. What was immediately clear to her without the need for Sight was that she, as a pure of heart person who thrives off others, had never and would never belong in her home kingdom where wealth was the only indicator of status and there was no way to fight against injustice.
The dark mood the entire kingdom gave off was unsettling. Most of the sunlight was reserved for the royal sector. Born into the upper class, she never had to struggle but pitied those that did. Many times throughout her childhood the young girl was punished for associating with and even helping the lower classes, further increasing her desire to leave. As she went into her formative years her mother had a vision of her leaving the Kingdom, but the vision did not reach far enough into the future to see if Kseniya would live or die. As a result they kept her held in her room, which hurt the dreamer more than anything else ever could. Having access to scholarly texts, being higher class, but never the education life could offer her, she was frustrated; and eventually, she managed to escape.
The night before she had experienced a dream - her first vision. Of three other people across three other kingdoms, and she had an intuition that it would be important to find them, that it would lead to a birth of a new kingdom. So Kseniya took some food and other vitalities and escaped in the night. Many times over she often died in the Dark Forest but she managed to escape into the Old Forest at the center of Avalon. It took her several weeks to repay the favours an organisation did her after they found her passed out from exhaustion at the border, but eventually, she could continue her voyage into the Winter Forest.
An arrow whisked past her head. She was saved by an Asarian boy - the very boy she had seen in her dream. Explaining the fact she was a Seer to someone she had barely met and that she had seen him in her dreams was hard, but luckily, he seemed to believe her. He did not really want to have to kill someone to accomplish the Asarian trials, so the two arranged to meet again after he too had gotten some supplies. Having someone else with her, someone who was more readily able to get food, improved the standards of her journey as they headed to the Draconian Forest, where they found her. This was Njord Odinson, who was the first of her travelers to found the Seventh Kingdom she had seen in her dreams.
A girl - the girl - wandering in the Draconian Forest. Xenia Argyris. And the two of them, Kseniya and she, like to say that they fell in love at first sight, if such a thing exists. That was probably the main reason why she agreed to go with them, rather than the fact that she believed in their story of visions and kingdoms. She was the bastard child of the former Queen of Draconia (predecessor to the current queen Amice d'Ambrosia), and she had always feared being recognised and tied to the Kingdom - so, perhaps running was on the list of reasons, too. In Draconia they also found another boy, the last of the people who had made themselves known to the Seer in her dream. This was Gabriel Trueblood, also a Draconian royal by birth.
The four travelled together with their respective talents, until they came across a land not yet touched by humankind. It had an aura to it, for sure, and it was decided that it would be there that they would form their new land. They garnered support from all of the kingdoms through promises of alliances - a neutral body formed of people from all the kingdoms for those who preferred beauty over the values of the rest. And for several years it was a matter of building the kingdom. They recruited sorcerers to speed up the building process, and many of those sorcerers are now advisors in the royal court. The artistic culture of Tourvaille is thriving, and those who can't seem to find a home seek to find their place in the mild-weathered kingdom. Ten years after its initial founding the kingdom is thriving under the leadership of the four of them.
