Anne I (12th of Owyn’s Flame, 1735 – 20th of Horen's Calling, 1800) was the firstborn child and daughter of Emperor Peter III and his wife, Lorena of Augustin. Subsequently, she was the heir presumptive of the Holy Orenian Empire due to her lack of brothers. She also was Princess Imperial as the elder between her and her sister, Princess Lorena Antonia; the title she inherited upon her birth. In the year 1784, she inherited the title of Holy Orenian Empress after her father's death, being the first empress-regnant in Orenian history. Her husband, Joseph, would be her co-ruler.

Early Life
Anne Augusta Helane, born at the Palace of Novellen in New Helena on the 12th of Owyn’s Flame, 1735, was the eldest of two daughters of the pretender crown-prince Antony Helane of the Empire of Man and his wife Lorena Christina Cascadia, the last Cascadian claimant to the Holy Orenian Empire. She was a stout girl of deep brown hair and light grey eyes, a model of the classical Horen traits. Her birth came two years prior to her father's ascension to the imperial throne as Holy Orenian Emperor Peter III. Anne's maternal uncles were both Godfrey II and John VII who both ruled over the Holy Orenian Empire consecutively from 1721-1724 and then from 1724-1725; her paternal grandfather, Antonius I, ruled over the Empire of Man from 1706-1714 until his regency council declared him in absentia.
Immediately upon her birth, Anne was betrothed to the Duke of Helena, Joseph Clement de Sarkozy, son of the then-Lord Protector, Adrian de Sarkozy, of Oren. This match was a product of the Lord Protector's plans to install his son as emperor with the great heiress, Anne, as his marriage claim. However, upon Adrian's sudden death to illness, it was Anne's father that was instead elevated to emperor, and thus was Anne's entire life changed like the flicker of a switch: the virtue of her birth as the firstborn daughter of a son-less marriage made her the defacto heir-presumptive to the Holy Orenian Empire, her betrothed being expected to someday ascend beside her as a co-monarch. However, she would never be officially titled as 'crown princess' in the expectation that her mother would bear a son, only going by the title of Princess Imperial.
Her position as the heir-presumptive made her education a matter of great import to the court of Novellen, and she was placed under the tutorship of her father's archchancellor, Simon Basrid. Her relationship with the Basrid is one that she would frequently cite as bearing an intense influence over her later persona and rulership. He'd enlightened her to the convoluted history of the empire, resulting in her fascination with renewing stability, orenian nationalism and the 'ruby of man', a symbol for a new Oren which she would heed as her personal brand for the rest of her life. Red ruby became the color to which Anne's rulership and character is forever associated with, as she donned no other color other than a mourning black and a marriage white throughout her 65 years of life. Other teachings of Simon that vastly influenced the young Anne were the tapestry of man and the stigmatized 'pure' bloodline of Pertinax from which she hailed on both parents' sides. Similar to her mother, Anne was self-anathematized by nightmares tied to her pertinaxi blood, another motivator for her to later distinguish herself from the conventional culture of Horen.
