Amaya Milena also known as Amaya of Venzia, (Common: Mia Milena) (9th of Malin's Welcome, 1905 - Present) called the Queen of the People and by few Mother of Haense, of House Colborn, and was the 21st Queen-Consort of Hanseti-Ruska through her marriage to Aleksandr II of Haense in 1927.

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, the Viscountess had lovingly bestowed unto her youngest daughter the name Amaya to honor St. Amyas of Yore - the patron saint of medicine, healing, and botany. However, Amaya's 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. For years, she only donned the color black and was often subjected to stares and hushed murmurs of intimidation and distaste from her peers.

As Amaya grew older, the trajectory of her life would change drastically when her cousins, Erik and Carolus Colborn, and her aunt, Elia Colborn-Stafyr, stepped in as her guardians. The trio 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 history to the healing arts, the latter of which she was particularly fond of. In spite of her reserved demeanor, she harbored an adventurous - and similarly fiery spirit that began to blossom under the nurturing care of her relatives.

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 mere 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 adopt a cold demeanor at times - 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, inevitably fostering 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, and the trio would become close friends after Amaya offered her aid to the injured siblings on numerous occasions. As her career in the hospital continued to flourish, so too did her ability to connect and empathize with those around her, which would come to shape her reign as a Queen of the people.

In her youth, Amaya also befriended Fabian Kortrevich, who would come to be her closest confidant and mentor in courtly affairs. Similarly, the Grand Prince, Aleksandr Otto, emerged as a significant and unexpected presence in Amaya's life. His liking for her, stemming from their encounters in the clinic, opened a unique chapter in her journey. Through the care she provided to the Grand Prince after battles, a bond flourished, laying the foundation for a relationship that would shape the course of her destiny.
