Early Life (1905-1927)
Amaya Milena Colborn was born to the Viscountess of Venzia, Dame Ada Colborn, and her husband, Lord Izin Kortreivch in the year 1905. When her mother ascended to the role of Surgeon General shortly before she was born, the Viscountess had lovingly given her youngest daughter the name Amaya to honor the Patron Saint of medicine, healing, and botany, Amyas of Yore. Amaya's childhood was distinguished by an unusual fascination with bugs, particularly spiders, which hinted at her inherent curiosity and love for the natural world. However, her early years were shrouded in tragedy as her mother would die suddenly in battle. The loss of her mother and the subsequent disappearance of her father placed a significant emotional burden upon the young girl. Consequently, Amaya sought to keep to herself, which would create a barrier that seemed impenetrable to outsiders.
As Amaya grew older, the trajectory of her life would change drastically when her cousins, Erik and Carolus Colborn, stepped in as her guardians. The two played a pivotal role in her upbringing, supporting Amaya in the endeavors she pursued while helping her gradually overcome the shadows of her past. Soon, the aspiring student received tutelage from the household servants in an array of subjects, from etiquette to the healing arts, the latter of which she was particularly fond of. Despite her reserved demeanor, she harbored an adventurous spirit that began to blossom under the nurturing care of her cousins.
Remarkably, Amaya exhibited prodigious talents in medicine from a young age. Her journey into the world of healing culminated in a significant milestone at the tender age of fourteen when she secured a role as a physician at the prestigious Hospital of St. Amyas. This early success set her on a path that hinted at a promising future as the next Surgeon General of Hanseti-Ruska. Amaya's proficiency in the field of medicine not only commanded the respect of her fellow physicians but also endeared her to a wide circle of peers within the Kingdom. Despite her success, a lingering trauma stemming from the untimely death of her mother cast a shadow over her interpersonal interactions. This emotional wound compelled Amaya to don a cold demeanor oftentimes - a defense mechanism that shielded her vulnerability from those she did not know. This perceptible coldness did not escape the notice of those around her, creating a dynamic where distinct rivalries began to form. One such relationship unfolded with the Godunov siblings - Lady Alyona and Lord Anatoliy, the duo who initially found themselves on the opposite side of Amaya's sharp wit. The rivalry, however, evolved over time, transcending initial tensions.
