🔶BACKSTORY🔶

Evania was born as the eldest child to Emperor Jarerio Archenius. She was expected to succeed him when her time came, and was raised to be prepared to one day rule as Empress herself. She was raised in the grand palace of the Galdorian Empire's capital, Isgildorf. As a future empress, she lived luxuriously. As she got older, she heard the rumors and murmurs of the court, the way they talked about their displeasure of a future woman on the throne. While her father and his close advisor always were supportive, other noblemen openly question the decision of letting a woman be heir to the throne. Evania took great offense to this, not understanding why a man would do a better job than her. She was also displeased and jealous about the way she was treated compared to the other noble boys. She pleaded to her father to let her learn how to use a sword, and in the end he reluctantly agreed to have her spar with one of the swords masters in secret. On her eighteenth birtday, during the celebration tournament to her honor. Her father was assassinated by a squad of masked assailants. During the chaos, one of her fathers most trusted advisors, General Firespear, helped her escape. They fled the capital, disguised as commoners. General Firespear told her to hide, since she now was first in line to the imperial throne. Until the killer was caught, they would surely go after her next. This happened a week ago, and Evania has been hiding, on the run alone, since then. The empire stands on the brink of civil war, as nobles accuse each other of being the murderer. Unsure who to trust. Evania is biding her time, waiting for the right moment to get her revenge and reclaim her throne.
