Biography

Early Life

Amelya Valeriya Barbanov was born on the 14th of the Amber Cold, 1750, as the youngest of a set of triplets to the King of Hanseti-Ruska, Andrew IV, and Queen Maya of Muldav. Her mother would nearly pass upon bestowing the three, but survived through the night - as well as all three girls. Shortly after the unknowing period of whether the Queen passed from childbirth or not, Amelya and her sisters were kept away from the public eye for the first years of their childhood.

Her mother, oft paranoid, did not allow her free roam outside of the Ekaterinburg Palace until the celebratory event bringing forth Amelya and her sisters into the royal court. The revelry, renown titled Dance of the Crows, was the initial beginning of Amelya's public life as a figure and symbol within the royal city of New Reza and the overall Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. The ball came to an abrupt conclusion with the announcement of her father's passing, and the kingdom thereafter being sent into a state of regency.

Growing up, Amelya garnered a fine education and mirrored her assigned royal governess and tutor, Isabel Stafyr, in her kindness. The generosity of the princess, in spite of her royal upbringings, was praised greatly amongst the commonfolk and nobility alike. To quote Viktoria Ruthern, "[...] not a day went by where the princess was not seen amid the crowds of passing people in the city. She was, by all means, their princess." Although she lacked paternal figure, the correlation amongst the royal family was notably superlative. In many ways, she was frequently said to have presided in her father's scholarly traits over her mother's.
