	Elizaveta stands around 5'6" in height and is a slender 115lbs; possessing natural sandy blonde hair and bright azure eyes that are set off by her peachy complexion and full dusty rose tinted lips. She has almond shaped eyes, high cheekbones and a strong jawline; all prevalent among her family line.

	Though rooted in old world customs and charm, she adores modern style; preferring to wear the latest trends and color combinations, though all of them constantly retaining class and elegance. Her attire always consists of a well thought out ensemble that is planned down to the very last detail while in public. 

	When relaxing she will usually opt for cotton button down blouses and tailored jeans, though still making sire each detail is in place; even her [i]messy[/i] hair styles will be thoughtout and meticulously chosen. Never one to just grab something and go, she tends to plan out her wardrobe days in advance with multiple choices for any occasion that may arise.

[center][u][color=a187be]• Benevolent • Contemplative • Scrupulous • Argumentative • [/color][/u][/center]
	Elizaveta is a kind and old soul, carrying herself as if she is from another time period. A graceful young woman who is as comfortable among the aristocrats as she is with her own people. She will not hesitate to stop an important meeting to help a servant pick up a spilt glass or exit a procession to hand over an umbrella to a child or elderly person if they are stuck in the rain; a trait that has endeared her to her people.

	 She is a person who will look at a situation from all angles and perspectives; weighing the pros and cons before she makes a decision. She is meticulous when it comes to details; whether that comes to what she says, how she acts, a choice for her nation, or even down to how she chooses what to wear. Each detail is carefully planned out with a specific reason and purpose. Now that does not mean she takes long to favor speak, she is quick witted and knows when to trust her gut. 

	For all her good though Elizaveta can be confrontational; if she feels people are not listening to reason, being cruel, or just holding their position to be stubborn she will let them know how closed minded and superficial they are being. She has a sharp tongue and does not care who she insults or offends if the situation calls for it.

	Elizaveta is the only surviving child of Alexander and Dominika Romanov, the former Czar and Czarina of Noslainia; making her the sole heir of her empire and the last of the Romanov Line. The only other surviving member being her Grandmother Alexandria Vladlena Romanova, the Grand Czarina.

	The Grand Duchess was raised with all the pomp and circumstance befitting the next Czarina of an Empire. Schooled, from a young age, in all things she would need to be able to run the government; politics, various languages so that she could easily converse with other nations, etiquette, history, warfare and so forth.

	Up until her sixteen birthday she was sequestered away behind the walls of the palace, constantly surrounded by guards, as her grandmother governed the empire. Elizaveta was not allowed outside the palace walls or around her people until then. She studied hard, always wishing to prove to the Grand Czarina that she was ready.

	Since her sixteenth birthday however things have been very different. The Grand Czarina presented her to the people and Elizaveta took a very hands on approach. Quickly inserting herself among her people and working with them to help rebuild her still shaky empire. Listening carefully to their concerns and not afraid to get her hands dirty and help them in any way she could, quickly winning the hearts of her people.

	Now 21 it is time, by the tradition of her nation, to be wed. This is not something deep down that she agrees with but Elizaveta is so rooted in the old ways, this is one thing she had not vocalized her opinion on. She is determined to do what is needed to keep her Empire together and she understands that part of this includes marriage and producing an heir.

[b][i][u][color=a187be]A Brief Summary:[/color][/u][/i][/b] There is no exact date for the birth of the Empire but it is recorded at around 300 A.D. with the arrival of the Nosai Goths from the East. A roaming war culture that found its way through the mountains and into the valley of what was then known as Brimstizine. Little is known about the beginnings but by the 900's the lands had been conquered within the borders of the sea to the north and the mountains surrounding the rest of the Empire. A winter hardened and fierce people they protected what was theirs without question and unadulterated loyalty to their nation as a whole. 

	Because of location and weather, and despite the rich wealth within the lands and sea themselves, few other nations found it worth their time to try to conquer the nation, though some tried only to fail. Internal struggle though has always been an issue for the nation. Some wondrous Czar's have ruled the land and helped with trade to make the nation prosper in every way, then there were tyrants who would ruin what generations had built. It became to be known as the Blaxinza (The Dark Curse Of Insanity), a plight that had come time and time again to the Empire. It was thought to be a thing of myth and legend by the 17th century and for nearly 300 years the Empire prospered and thrived with peace within its borders. That was until the rule of Alexander Romanov.

[b][i][u][color=a187be]The Revolution:[/color][/u][/i][/b] Alexander Romanov began as a loving and benevolent Czar, loved by his family and his people. That was until shortly before the birth of his daughter Elizaveta, the youngest of four and only female to be born to the line that generation. Something triggered with in the Czar's mind and the Blaxinza took hold of him. He became the tyrant of legend and because of his heavy hand, restrictions of resources for his people, and cutting off his nation from the world it was a quick landslide into Revolution. 

	Though this Revolution was not like others, quick and swift as even some of the military forces were for it. One cold winters night as Elizaveta was only a baby her grandmother whisked her away for foreign soil for safety but was unable to help the rest of the royal line. All perished, quick slaughters for most of the line but Alexander was tortured for his crimes against humanity before he finally succumbed to death. The Nation was torn. Some wanting a new fresh start, others wishing to remain loyal to the crown. It was the Grand Czarina Alexandria that was able to convince the people of the nation to peace. 

[b][i][u][color=a187be]Rebuilding:[/color][/u][/i][/b] Alexandria returned with a now three year old Elizaveta at her side to rule until her grand-daughter came of age. Since that time the nation has remained divided and isolated from the rest of the world for the most part. The Grand Czarina working tireously to rebuild her nations trust and foreign relations. It has gone well but the nation has much rebuilding to do to become what it once was and what it could be. 

	Once Elizaveta, who had been sequestered until her 16th birthday, came to the eyes of the people though things began to take a drastic turn for the positive. She is rooted in the old ways but she understands a need for the future. She is a hands on diplomat and has helped to reform the education and health care systems of her nation. Wanting what is best for her people. This marriage is the next step to help her nation heal, for without an heir, it will fall to the rule of the Council and while wise with much knowledge of the modern world the two remaining of the royal line fear the Empire will be torn into states that would war instead of remaining the unified lands it has been for more than a thousand years.

	Veta has a dual outlook on herself. On one side of the coin she knows she is a decent person and will work hard to do whatever it takes to see her nation thrive once again. Her gentle natured smile show her heart and her hard labor worn hands show her ethics. Though on the other side of the coin she fears what most in her nation fear; that she will one day succumb to her fathers madness. She has herself tested regularly for any shift in her blood, hormone levels, etc. as well as attends therapy sessions three times a week just to be sure. Her doctor says she is the picture of both mental and physical health but that does not sate her worry for what tomorrow could bring.

	Veta was nonetheless surprised to learn that Nikolai was the one she is betrothed to but it was a pleasant surprise. While she does not know much of him she tried to learn something's. He seems like it could be a good match and while deep down she holds little hope for love in an arranged marriage she at least would be quite happy to be able to develop a strong trust and friendship. Do not be mistaken, she would adore to love and be loved by her future Czar, but she is not naive. She has prepared something small for him, a token she prays he enjoys.

[i]"Yes, I remember the reports. Grotesquely tragic. I cannot believe that he is already having to attend this function. Has it truly been a long enough time of mourning?"[/i]

[i]"I have to admit that I am rather nervous. I know there will be a lot of preconceived notions about me and while I refuse to judge anyone until I get to experience them first hand; others are not as... Forgiving."[/i]

With the weather being far more pleasant than in her own nation, Elizaveta was exceptionally excited to be able to wear something she normally would not be able to outside of the warmed walls of the palace. Perhaps it is a bit understated and more casual than some but it is refined enough for a simple welcoming and in her mind it is not the outfit she wears but the gift that she brings to the hosts that should be the cetner of her introduction.

[i]"I have never attended a ball but I have made sure to study what is required of them. I look forward to seeing how this goes, though I hardly imagine this will be a Cinderella event. Though if I loose a shoe at midnight I will be interested to see who finds it."[/i]

The gown was designed with the elements of her country in mind; the cold, the snow flakes, the glacier blue that can be reflected on a clear day; all to compliment Elizaveta's eyes and skintone. Thrilled at its completion ad while it may not be as seductive as what some of the other royals will be wearing she feels comfortable and confidant in the gown. Yet beyond the gown she is most excited to wear the necklace her mother once wore so many years ago, it allows her to feel that perhaps she is with her on this night.

[i]"What does one wear when out and about and not working? This seems like it would be wonderful to show that I do indeed have a more sultry side, I hope grandmother does not find it in my bags before I depart."[/i]

Elizaveta is in adoration with this ensemble, it hugs in just the right places and yet retains a classic style to it. Still much more reserved than perhaps what other women her age would wear but she is just now stepping out on her own. It is one thing to wear jeans and work shirts when rebuilding a nation with her people but her grandmother absolutely detests Elizaveta wearing red, claiming it makes her look like a harlot.

[i]"Oh a young lady should never go anywhere without a brilliant white pant suit within her wardrobe. It is just so versatile. Perfect for an impromptu business arrangement or a quick spot of afternoon tea."[/i]

One of Elizaveta's favorite suits to wear, it allows her so much comfort and allows her to change her blouses and accessories to fit any number of occasions. She actually owns similar style suits in multiple colors but white is and will always be her favorite.

[i]"Everyone needs a break from time to time. I prefer mine in the cool air watching the city go by while sipping some fresh brewed coffee."[/i]

Veta enjoys the simple things in life, especially after so many years being sequestered away for most of her life. Now when she needs a moment to herself she throws on something casual, but that doesn't mean she won't still try to look her best. A light jacket, boots, a few accessories, and she is ready to watch the world go by.
