She grew up on the family estate with two older brothers. She was an exceptionally quiet girl and would spend her days sat in her room colouring and painting. She was encouraged to read a lot with the Yakovlev family having "Book Club" every evening when together,  where the family would gather in the lounge and read books for an hour. By the age of 11 she was obsessed with the Narnia books and began writing her own stories in the Narnia universe.

In 2016 she began study at the Rakalin Academy for Girls and her teachers described her as a book worm. She would spend breaks and lunchtimes in the library reading various books. She naturally as a result did well in school but she struggled to make friends.

By the time she was 13 she had become to be recognised as a pretty girl and her mother tried to get her involved in beauty pagents and modelling. She did three competitions, coming 2nd twice and winning one before convincing her mother that she didn't want to do them. Meanwhile she also succeeded in helping Rakalin Academy for Girls win her age groups Academic Challenge (annual competition that is a combination of a quiz and essay writing) competition in 2018 and 2019.

In 2023 she graduated from the Academy with straight A grades and had intended to go to University to study History and Literature however she was then approached to join the Royal Preparation Academy and gladly accepted as she believed it would give her access to world class lecturers. In addition to studying International Leadership Studies she is also studying Literature.

Sofya Naumov
RL Yael Shelbia

Sofya was born in 2005 in Gaia. Her mother was a poet who lived on the Isle of the Goddess and her father was a doctor. Her mother was extremely devout follower of Sessifet and has three husbands. She is the eldest of four children but the only one of her fathers children.

She spent much of her youth on the Isle and enjoyed spending time in the temple there. Her mother believed she'd likely become a priestess. Initially she was happy to go along with that however at the age of 12 she began to prefer spending time watching the dancers that often performed and practiced in the various courtyards and open spaces of the Palace of the Goddess. In 2017 she persuaded her parents to allow her to attend the Gaia School of Performance despite her not actually being the most elegant of dancers. Her mother was able to pull some strings and get her in. She however was quiet bright academically, especially in languages and by the time she graduated in 2023 she could speak Lodjain, Aostan, Rus and Norse. She graduated with mainly B Grades but an A in Languages, her teachers however said she would have done even better had she not spent so much time flirting with boys.

During the 2023 Summer season she received a lot of attention from many noble families and her parents had received fifteen different proposals for her marriage. Sofya was torn between marriage and University however when she was approached at joining the Royal Preparation Academy she accepted and has opted to include Linguistics in her studies.

Lady Emiliya Zima
RL - Gabrielle Corrêa

Born in 2004 Emiliya is the daughter of a former Royal Ballerina and Duke Radoslav Zima, a minor noble from Isleka, the smallest island in Lodja. She grew up on the island as one of only six students her age at the school until the age of 11 when she was sent away to Tyr to attend the Island School of the Hills, a rural based boarding school. There she spent a lot of time in the forest and at the coast as the school placed a emphasis on learning in the great outdoors.

In 2019 she came to national attention when her mother was featured in a reality TV show. She then found herself being asked to appear in teen fashion magazines and the like. While initially she liked the attention she started to get a little worried about some of the "weirdos" this attracted and in 2021 gave up involvement in such enterprises. Despite the media attention she was doing well at school and excelled in natural sciences and geography. She graduated in 2022 and began studying at Gaia University for a degree in Rural Management. However she also was engaged to Duke Tomoslav Krupin and in early 2023 it was discovered he was cheating on her with a pleb who had got pregnant. As a result she wanted some time away from University and left. She was unsure what to do in the long term however after spending time at a spirtiual retreat and having been encouraged to get involved in the Summer Ball season of 2023 she was approached to join the Royal Preparation Academy and took up that offer in September 2023.

Ophelia Danilov
RL- Elysée McMenamin Sanvillé

Ophelia was born in 2002 in the city of Zhary. Her parents are Lord James Danailov and Lady Grace Danailov who are the current nobles connected to the city of Zhary. She is the younger sister of Lady in Waiting Jasmina Danailov.

Like her sister she is a gifted musician and while her sister played violin Ophelia played cello and flute. At school she was a top student in maths. When her sister was a candidate for Queen Ophelia's parents were convinced that their elder daughter would be named Queen and so told Ophelia she would inherit the family businesses. This however lasted only three months and the taste of being the daughter getting the attention for a short while helped her grow in confidence. Ophelia attended University in Gaia to get a degree in Business Law and would graduate in the summer of 2023.

While at University she spent a great deal of time at the Isle of the Goddess and became well connected at the court largely thanks to her sisters position. When her sister became Lead Lady in Waiting she had expected that her sister would appoint her as one of the new ones however the Queen was keen to avoid the sense of favouring families that already had power and so she was passed over.

Angelika Kubik
RL-Hanna Edwinson

Angelika was born in 2004 in the small Southern town of Helaov. She is the grand-daughter of General Lubos Kubik who in 2023 became the Lord of the Conclave. Her father was Lubos' 2nd son Vasili and his wife Ruslana. She grew up on the families estate just outside town where she was, along with several of her cousins tutored by various home tutors including several significant priestesses. As such she grew up rather pious.

Once she reached the age of 16 she attended school on the Isle of the Goddess as she was considering a career path in the service of Sessifet. She however did not really enjoy the way the faith was rather strictly taught on the isle and so as a result wasn't too bothered about academic matters. She did reasonably well at school however and was offered a place at Gaia University studying Literature. Once out of the family fold she made the most of enjoying the social opportunities at University and even went so far as setting up a small business with a friend organising raves in disused industrial venues. She is on track to make a significant profit with that business. She however has been encouraged by her father to seek opportunities to advance the family name.

Klavdiya Pavlovsky
Olivia Ponton

Klavdiya was born in 2004 in the small town of Dubenki which sits some 25km to the West of Gaia. Her family own a lovely piece of real estate on the edge of the town known as the Forest Palace (https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2020.10/original/5f96a73285600a6fb930d490.jpg). The family had one time had a great reputation for being wealthy however since her father Ruben became the leader of the family the fortunes of the family have fallen. As a gambler and drunk he has squandered a lot of the families wealth.

 Klavdiya was educated at the local girls grammar school. She was very active in the school musical and performance groups and excelled at ballroom dancing. In 2016 her and her cousin Ivan were crowned national junior champions and a year later defended their title. As a result she was offered a chance to attend the National Academy of Art and Dance. She was also sponsered by a well known dance company and appeared as a model and face on much of their publications.

In 2022 she was offered the chance to continue her studies at degree level and accepted. The high fees at the school have been paid by her model shoots and working in occasional dance videos. In 2023 summer ball season she was passed over by many young noble man because of her fathers growing debts. While normally a girl of her beauty and connections would be inundated with marriage proposals she recieved just one which she rejected.

Katjusha Zaytsev,
Nicola Cavanis

Katjusha was born in 2003 into the prominent Zaytsev family. She is the daughter of Yuri Zaytsev who was the younger brother of Duke Leonard Zaytsev. She has several younger siblings. As a child her parents shunned the mainstream education instead preferring to send her to a forest school. As a result she was given an education based on activities within the forest and play. As a result she's become rather an outdoorsy person.

In 2021 when the civil war broke out her uncle, Leonard Zaytsev, was one of the nobles who supported Leopold Hamsik who carried out attacks that killed Queen Klara. Her father however remained steadfastly loyal and went out of his way to aid the Intelligence services of the various nations involved in supporting the Queendom. Despite this at the end of the war the family were considered outcasts by many of the nobility and are desperate to earn back some respect.

in 2023 Queen Natalya offered her a position at the Royal Preparation Academy but she turned it down believing that it would take at least five years for the family to see any return. Instead she has been accepted into the Army as a member of the Mechanised Cavalry.

Alyona Feofilakt
Olivia Dunne

Born in 2003 Alyona is the youngest of the three Feofilakt sisters. Her older siblings, Ivana and Suma, are married to important nobles in the North of the Queendom where the family are from. During her childhood she spent a significant amount of time with Radislav Emerenko, the great grandson of Queen Sonya. In 2013 the family arranged a marriage between the two.

At school she was considered a pretty above average student and was part of the schools netball team.

In 2021 the family name took a beating when her father was involved in a consortium that had been trapping dolphins and whales and keeping them in farms. As a result the family have become slightly ostricised from high society to the extent that in 2023 Radislav cancelled the engagement. Since then the family, now with her father in prison, have sought to find ways to gain some prestige.
