	[color=c05982][sub][ ♚ ] A P P E A R A N C E[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Anareliea has the aire of an imperial princess, with a confidence that exudes every single step she takes; a fact people are quick to notice. Despite the imperium being an electoral monarchy she believes with every fiber of her being she will be elected as heir apparent by the harvest season’s end despite being so young— a trait that translates to the way she walks which causes people to notice her. Setting in at five foot seven and of a modest build with long flowing reddish locks and irises of amber, Anareliea is not the “traditional Hulevian beauty” and if not for her tan complexion would seem more like a forloni. Anareliea lacks boastful breasts and long eyelashes and she knows that while she is attractive she was not what people thought one of the most beautiful women in Forlonia and the Patriarch would create. But Anareliea knows that people will find her aura invigorating and magnetic; and she expects them to find her attractive in some way or another anyway. After all, she is the daughter of a [i]Patriarch[/i] and the King of Forlonia’s [i]sister[/i].

The warmer climate of the imperial heartlands and her taste towards the modest of religion has allowed Anareliea a wardrobe that consists of ivory dresses with few extravagances— though Anareliea has a strong love for gold, brass, and bronze as evident by her amulets, trinkets, bracelets, rings, and bands. Her bracelets were forged by steham blacksmiths and enchanted by elves.

	[color=c05982][sub][ ♚ ] P E R S O N A L I T Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]“Sometimes I think Anareliea believes she is the reincarnation of Gaea herself.” 
	—Pythia Heartspire

Princess Anareliea has quite the reputation as the result of many opportune conversations and actions, though in many eyes it was anything but friendly. People have called Anareliea as a pompous, egotistical, overzealous, overtly assertive, temperamental, and a goddess-obsessed girl with foolish fantasies of an era long gone. The beliefs of such are things that Anareliea will not deny, however, stating that such truths are evident of her sins and the sins of others.

Above all else, Anareliea is a [i]princess[/i] and expects to be treated with the respect, dignity, and servitude as such and considering she believes herself to be of imperial importance and rank this pretty much applies to everyone including nobles of great houses who are heirs of their respective kingdoms. This can come across very staunchly pompous, overzealous, and pretentious in turn but ultimately there is some truth to Anareliea’s expectations due to her particular state of birth and perspective. Perhaps it is due to the dignity and expectations that come from being raised as imperial nobility— a fact that Anareliea couldn’t escape from in her youth. As a imperial princess she was primped, lectured, trained, and educated about how she was [i]supposed[/i] to act and damn anyone who suggested otherwise. The only individuals had right to order her around were those on the regency council, her father, and her mother. Before she was even eight years old she knew this as fact and it may have had a role in creating Anareliea’s pompous presumptions upon her inheritance upon her father’s death.

Contrary to popular belief Anareliea is not without compassion and in many ways due to her religious beliefs is [i]defined[/i] by compassion. She gives coin out to those in need of it, invests in the betterment of others, cherishes the few friends she does hold, and cares about the consequences of her actions even though she knows she has to make unfavorable or detested actions. For people to paint her as a shrew hurts her deeply and is the second easiest way to wound her after insulting her faith in the goddess, a fact that she holds beneath a fire-like surface. For if some of her noble peers cover up how they really feel with ice, Anareliea does so with the opposite. Such temperament is also the bulk of the source of her reputation and probably the least noble aspect of her personality; a fact she so very well knows. Forged out of her disappointment towards the cynicism towards religion, Anareliea has a unrelenting anger towards the way society has been shifting and what is becoming of her fellow man as they allow their base desires and sins to run rampant— actions of deceit, greed, envy, gluttony, lust, and much more have painted her subjects with a target that she sees constantly as she wishes accursed things happen to them despite believing the goddess would not want her to give in to hate but be forgiving and noble regarding humankind even in its darkest hour. But it is hard to be perfect and there are times when Anareliea's patience breaks and she unleashes all of the fire upon them.

	[color=c05982][sub][ ♚ ] C H I L D H O O D[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Anareliea Hulevia is the heir to The Imperium of Gaealia, though she is one of many. The daughter of [b]Patriarch Theodoric IV Hulevia[/b] and [b]Lady Lyssia Forletus[/b], Anareliea was named born six and ten years ago in Gaea’s Gift.

As the child of the imperial court, Anareliea was raised from a very young age by the best mentors coin could gather alongside lessons taught to her by her extended family and even her parents. As the child of the Patriarch she understood that it could be possible one day following his death she could be elected to inherit his duties, responsibilities, and expectations— a fact she never took lightly, even as a child. However such expectations and tutelage never made her feel any less [i]alone[/i], a trait that had enveloped her following her mother’s death when she was nine years past her nameday. Why had her mother left her and how could the goddess ever so silent do so without explaining it? She took to asking questions to the local priests and priestesses who had monitored her mother’s funeral and took interest with their beautiful albeit cryptic explanations so much she started spending continuous time with the leader of the faith, The Oracle; a woman who was also her paternal grandmother, Temari Hahra. 

The words given to her by her grandmother were hopeful, compassionate, and uplifting in a time of darkness— a fact that triggered a change in Anareliea that people began to notice. But as she got more faithful she also got more [i]angry[/i] and her philosophies began veering on templar-like points of view. Despite Anareliea trying to reign her own anger in and understand the virtue in peace and kindness she soon began to realize that her discontent occurred only because humankind was failing their goddess and everyone she talked to about faith dismissed the religious truth despite it had been not long since Gaea’s disappearance compared to how long their race had existed. These were not fairy tales made to inspire or terrify children, these were scriptures of fact and they were being written off as fantasy. Some of the biggest detractors being people within her own bloodline. How dare they. Gaea had [i]created[/i] them and requested them to work together and they were telling her that she was now mythological fiction created by scribes. Anareliea could not understand it. She [i]wouldn’t[/i].

As she was taught more to be an imperial princess and expanded her studies, the fire within her did not fade. She began drawing from it and unleashing it on her servants and courtiers. She began to become a zealot and a condescending noble who was above all others but god. Eventually someone close to her sarcastically coined her as “Saint Anareliea”— the name stuck though with varying effects. Anareliea ignored the childish nickname as she kept bettering herself as best as she could. 

She began studying the magical sciences, political history, and the social sciences alongside deepening her beliefs. To atone for her sin of wrath she had to be virtuous where she could be. She began donating to charities and investing in people with her allowance as a noble giving her the reputation as a kind noble among the smallfolk of the imperial capital. And then eventually she was sent off to The Conclave to be taught an imperial education as well as to find a prince to marry; though Anareliea doubts there is a man able to contend with her needs, sins, and expectations.

She would be curious if the approaching new term in the academy changes that.

	[color=c05982][sub][ ♚ ] M O T I V E S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Anareliea has studied at The Conclave since she was old enough to attend and has been surrounded by the best mentors in the realm and some additional ones that only she could afford. With the passing of her father, Theodoric IV, she is one of the members of her house that could possibly succeed him but until then she will remain at The Conclave as a student of the arts and sciences.
[/color][/indent]
	[color=c05982][sub][ ♚ ] C R E D E N T I A L S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75][b]Diplomacy:[/b] Ranked third in her attributes despite her pompous attitude, Anareliea is good with charming those who deserve her good grace and diplomatic wit but she often is too temperamental to do this with complete grace. She wishes she did not have such sinful wroth but it is a product of one of humanity’s burdens that Gaea gave them to persevere over. After all, humankind was not made perfect. Regardless, Anareliea tries her best with courtesies and understanding political arrangements but is often times too shrewd and apathetic to consider them. 

[u][b]Faith:[/b][/u] Anareliea has always been the daughter of the faith and a devoted servant of the goddess of creation herself, Gaea. Since she was a young girl she has always felt alone in the universe no matter how much time she spent with her kin, but she found solace and true company in the cathedrals of the most devout; her mentor being  Oracle herself who was coincidentally her paternal grandmother, Temari. In the years since she has dove through tome after tome and every scripture or lyric she could read or hear. Faith is everything to Anareliea.

[b]Intrigue:[/b] Politics are necessary to keep the realm under control, especially the seedier politics. But due to her overbearing personality few people trust Anareliea or her servants. She tries to find out what people know and while she is an imperial princess and possible heir people do just not announce their deepest secrets to her. She will have to get better at it.

[u][b]Magic:[/b][/u] Magic is fascinating and probably her second most interested subject. After all, she is forloni and deserves to be taught their magical sciences. She has in the past flirted with education of this manner by visits from Tiberius Thornwell in her youth, whom was the son of the man who discovered the arcane arts. She is also aware there is holy magic as well and wants to learn about it— especially if she is to be one with the goddess.

[b]Martial:[/b] In Anareliea’s mind, the art of combat is best fit for a knight or marshal and not a lady who is going to be a ruler. Whilst the understanding of military matters might be interesting and necessary if she is to rule she would elect someone who is skilled in this form over learn it herself. Her efforts can be placed elsewhere.

[b]Stewardship:[/b] Logistics are for commanders, mathematics are for stewards, and other sciences are for alchemists or other artisans. Outside of her jewelry she prefers to give her excess wealth to the smallfolk in charities and bounties. Coin is not important unless you are in war, are building something, or investing in someone— coin should go to the people because that is what Gaea would want.[/color][/indent]
	[color=c05982][sub][ ♚ ] C O M P A N I O N S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Anareliea has several kinsman at The Conclave, but has fleeting relations with them. The only of those relevant to her immediately include her sworn swords as members of the imperial royal guard, the headmaster of her maids named [b]Reina[/b], her cousin [b]Irimina[/b] and her compassion towards avian companions.

[b]Irimina Huvelia:[/b] Irimina is Anareliea’s cousin through her father’s brother Dhaeric, the current head of the imperial navy and one of the central members of the imperial council as they delegate on who should succeed Theodoric IV. Irimina is similar to her cousin in that she is also deeply religious though without the fire that so often makes people wary around Anareliea. She’s good with numbers, almost obscenely so— a talent Anareliea admires greatly. She is the same age as Anareliea although two inches shorter with raven black hair and amber eyes.

[b]Reina:[/b] In many ways Reina is not just the lead servant amongst Anareliea’s maids but also her handmaiden. She handles all of Anareliea’s mundane tasks and serves without question. Sometimes she thinks Anareliea is too harsh, but understands her better than most nobles. She is a decade older than Anareliea and has rich caramel skin with raven black hair.

	[color=c05982][sub][ ♚ ] R E L A T I O N S[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75][b][color=00a651]★★★★★[/color] Princess Aleandra Charlottian Pridedane:[/b] There were many occasions during Anareliea’s childhood to meet other children though out of all of them she connected with Princess Aleandra Pridedane the most. However such strong bonds were in innocence and not as learned adults. As the two educated themselves they drifted apart though Anareliea does not feel sorrow for such. She finds her friends ideals admirable albeit different and despite their private arguments occasionally becoming volatile Anareliea has apologized every single time she has acted out of turn. Not because it wasn’t becoming of a princess but rather that she was her friend and had earned more respect than what was given. She hopes with her finally joining The Conclave they could understand each other better then they have in the past.

[b][color=00a651]★★★★[/color]  Prince Brendan Ophelius Tromvara:[/b] Anareliea has met Prince Brendan in several encounters such as balls, coronations, and tournaments though most of these encounters have been brief at best; she admittedly is more familiar with his siblings. However, upon one encounter the two spoke of many things including the faith— a fact that had unsurpsingly caught Anareliea off-guard given few were interested in speaking about Gaea with her due to her ‘reputation’. She tried to explain herself in the brief amount of time they were allotted and found perhaps a potential friend who could be converted from his skeptic views that she viewed as uneducated. She looks forward to talking in a more casual setting, at least.

[b][color=f7941d]�[/color] Prince Edgar Kazimir Marlowe:[/b]

[b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Prince Ezran Selran Taake:[/b] Anareliea has been introduced once to the Prince of Darkthrone but otherwise he didn’t leave much of an impression due to his lack of sociable skills or nerve to interact with her beyond courtesies. She remembers him being quite shy and meek. She wonders if he has changed at all in the years since.

[b][color=ed1c24]★★[/color] Prince Seldo Leonine Forletus:[/b] Familial bonds aren’t necessarily favorable as is evident with Anareliea’s relationship with her cousin, Prince Seldo Forletus. Whilst she enjoys his wit and cleverness to play political games her temperament disallows her to tolerate it when it is directed at her; she abhors how his wit can turn into snark and how his cleverness translates into a “dance” of words that Anareliea cannot outmaneuver. Even if she feels he is wrong he always has the right words to prove himself right by a slight justification or cleverly-worded fact of opinion. She can never win in a debate against him and his cynical approach to religion does not help things at all. 

[b][color=f7941d]�[/color] Prince Maco Subdar Queon:[/b]

[b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Princess Rhelissa Sevareviel Fel:[/b] From Anareliea’s perspective, the Princess of Aladore has never struck many conversations with her and when she has had her input it has been rather rude— statements such as “I really don’t care to have this conversation.” And “I’d rather not indulge with your preaching, my lady.” have consistently annoyed Anareliea. Though there is some light at the end of the tunnel despite the aladori cynicism taking a forefront in that Princess Rhelissa finds Anareliea’s religious tirades and lessons intriguing so ultimately the reception is a bit mixed. She presumes it is positive but Rhelissa’s brand of honesty irks her.

[b][color=00a651]★★★★[/color] Princess Telaivas Telamonius Turanis:[/b] Despite their relatively close locations in proximity, for quite some time Anareliea didn’t have much of an opinion on the Princess of Xahria. They have met, however on several occasions though the frailty of Princess Telaivas was an interesting manner— having been healed from magic she wondered if she had gotten interested in the studies of the newfound science. Despite the cunning and mischevious side her newfound friend had they bonded through the way magic intrigued both of them and often wrote each other over magical theory and possible applications. However despite their friendship they are admittedly not too close and don’t share much secrets outside of their shared passion.

[b][color=aba000]★★★[/color] Prince Ydrian Kareth Hawkhart:[/b] Anareliea has not had the displeasure of meeting such a vivacious swordsmen in her life and although it seems it is unavoidable she hopes that he will behave appropriately whilst within her presence. The Conclave is not his harem and she is not Prince Ydrian's harem princess.
