Introduction: The Princess, Raya Sabore (rah-yah sah-borr)
The first born of a noble family in a western military colony in the Eastern Shrine country, Raya was always a precocious girl with a talent for the arts. Her father, Artorius, was a high-ranking Western Nautica Officer, now retired. Her mother, Mara, is a mystic from the Pearl Archipelago, who worked at the western military colony as an enchanter and healer.
As a child she excelled in both the academe and the physical aspects of her schooling in the 2 colonies she lived in. She is fond of her drawings and writing especially when she’s alone. Although she lived a comfortable life, her father was busy handling his duties at the time, and her mother had to continue her career as well, leaving her alone to herself most of the time.
She and her parents traveled to the Pearl Archipelago to visit her mother’s relatives. her cousins were her closest playmates and she was well known as the interesting little lady. Despite her status among her neighbors, her family merely used her and her father’s wealth to benefit with great food and status.
During another visit to the Pearl Archipelago, her father was swindled by thieves and framed for charges concerning money. Honorably,thinking that the justice system in the archipelago would be swift and true, he turned himself in to the authorities without the presence of an arrest warrant. Jailed, he was waiting for justice to prevail. Mara then devised a plan to give him safe passage out of the country with the help of her family.
They were able to get him back to the safety of the military colony but to this day, his face is shown throughout the town bearing the charges still being pushed. The thieves tracked down the location of the house where they stayed and like vultures they kept eager watch over the estate waiting for another opportunity. Mara then had to relocate Raya and found a smaller but safe house in a nearby village.
A dark magic engulfed the parents and they were bickering regularly. Endless bickering about money and rumors of lies were in the air, there was a time where Mara bore a child, Raya’s half-sister. The same man who is the father of her sister also abused and traumatized her. She created within her, an abyss to store all the memories of everything bad that would happen after. This trauma combined with the horrible treatment by her peers made her very vulnerable and sickly.
Because of her status as a foreigner, she was shunned from receiving any awards for her achievements. There were even instructors that would tell her she was not smart enough to achieve her dreams. Despite the pain she went through, she had her favorite professors and friends to help her through that trying time. She graduated from the Academy hopeful that the next phase of her studies would not be so horrid.
She decided to improve her talents in The Aggregated Artes in the Academy of Higher learning. She was delayed in the application so she attended the 2nd trimester of the academic year. She was greatly accepted for her art as well as her looks.
Despite her quiet nature with acquaintances. she is a very sought-after person. Whether as a friend or as an ally, she was always in demand.This brought relief from those horrible years prior. She thought she’d never be able to become herself once again.
She desires a comfortable life, the same as she lived before. She wanted to live quietly so she could put everything behind her and forget.
