Biography
Early Life
Born as the first daughter of King Wilhelm I of Curonia and Queen Evelyn Falkenrath, Anabel led a peaceful early childhood, the young noblewoman proving to be incredibly astute, devoting much of her time and energy toward progressing her education. Often times being taunted by her six siblings, specifically her older brother Jarrack I of Curonia, she turned to reading and scholarly avenues to pass her time.
It was in her early preteens that she first made acquaintance with the Imperial Prince Romulus Horen, the two becoming very close friends throughout their early childhood.
Adolescence and Marriage
As the years progressed, the people around the two began to speculate the possibility of courtship between Anabel and the Prince Romulus. The families of both took note of the growing relations, with Romulus’ mother, Empress Helen, bringing forth the idea of a formal betrothal. It was decided at that point for Anabel to take residency within the Imperial Capital of Helena, allowing her to both further her education as well as her courtship with the prince.
Anabel adored living within Helena. She found the culture, people and opportunity to be exactly as she’d always dreamed of. She trained in etiquette under Empress Helen Horen, and built an impactful relationship with the Imperial Princess Amelia Phillipa, whomst she trusted like family.
Romulus and Anabel wed at age 15 on the 4th of Tobias’ bounty, 1706, within the Imperial Cathedral of Helena and overseen by High Pontiff Pontian I. Anabel was the first ever of House Devereux to hold an Imperial title. The wedding was grand, with the ceremony being immediately followed by a reception held in the palace gardens.
The pair were devout to eachother, however only three years into their marriage, Romulus went missing under the pretence of death. This led distraught Anabel to move back from the Imperial Capital of Helena to that of the Curonian city of Avalain, where she still remains. The pair were later reunited with each other after Romulus returned, announcing that his disappearance was due to that of a temporary exile.
