'''Lady Anne Josephine d’Arkent''' was born on the 15th of Owyn's Flame, 1836, only minutes before her twin brother, Joseph Alexander, within the halls of Sunholdt during a peaceful time within the [[Holy Orenian Empire]]. Anne shared her namesake with her mother, Anne Adelheid of Provins, and maternal grandmother, [[Princess Anne, Duchess of Auvergne|Princess Anne Caroline of Oren]], who was named after the first [[Anne I, Holy Orenian Empress|Empress of Oren, Anne I]]. Her middle name was from her paternal grandmother, [[Josephine, Princess Imperial|The Princess Imperial, Josephine Augusta]].

As such, Anne and her siblings held strong blood ties to the Imperial Family.

By the mere age of 12, Anne had clawed her way into the Augustine Council under [[Charlotte of Aldersberg]], which quickly collapsed only years later. During the Aster revolution, the teenage d'Arkent quietly declared her loyalty to both sides, allowing her to easily hold onto her position when [[Philip III, Holy Orenian Emperor| Emperor Philip III]] was declared victorious. During her time as Lady Revels, Anne quickly developed many friendships within the court, allowing her to hold the position with little opposition. Throughout her years within the Court, she was known to host many pompous events within Aster Hall, which were considered by many to be elitist events that excluded many of the nation's common folk. The young girl was considered by many too be far to young for the position, standing alongside many aged and trusted nobles during her mere teens.

Anne held the position of Lady Revels beneath [[Anastasia I, Holy Orenian Empress| Empress Anastasia I]] till 1856, when she expierenced an unsuccessful Astercalia. Having been so ashamed of not finding a match, the then 20-year-old Anne fled the Empire in the dead of night, sailing to the Kingdom of Ba’as, where she remained for most of her Twenties.

Following nearly a decade spent in Ba’as, Anne finally returned to the Empire. Within a few months of her return, her engagement to [[Edward Clement, Count of Aldersberg| The Count of Aldersberg]] was announced. It was assumed by many to have been an arranged marriage as the two were rarely seen together during their youth and were both entering their older years of adulthood. Prior to Anne’s Marriage to the Count, many rumors spread through the courts about Edward due to his lack of marriage. The couple opted for a private wedding, inviting only members of their family and the Imperial Household. The service was officiated by Father Adrian de Sarkozy, a close friend of the couple. Soon after their marriage, Anne would be with child giving birth to the Heir to the County, Alexander Leopold. Due to complications during birth and health problems of the child, it was quite some time before Anne had any further children, with the later two having similar illnesses that seemed to have no cure.

Anne Josephine d'Arkent(15th of Owyn's Flame, 1836 - Present) was the second child and eldest daughter of John Alexander d’Arkent, the former heir to the Duchy of Sunholdt, and Anne Adelheid of Provins. She was born alongside her twin brother, Joseph Alexander d’Arkent. Due to her familial connections, she quickly climbed the social ladder within the Orenian Courts and later became known for her short, yet active, stents within the Empress's and Queen's councils.


Early Life

Lady Anne Josephine d’Arkent was born on the 15th of Owyn's Flame, 1836, only minutes before her twin brother, Joseph Alexander, within the halls of Sunholdt during a peaceful time within the Holy Orenian Empire. Anne shared her namesake with her mother, Anne Adelheid of Provins, and maternal grandmother, Princess Anne Caroline of Oren, who was named after the first Empress of Oren, Anne I. Her middle name was from her paternal grandmother, The Princess Imperial, Josephine Augusta. The union of Anne’s parents and their subsequent children was a topic of many whispers as the married couple was first cousins, through a shared grandfather, Emperor Philip II. As such, Anne and her siblings held strong blood ties to the Imperial Family.

At the age of three, Anne’s father passed away from causes generally unknown to the public, leaving her brother, Peter Augustus, as heir to the Duchy of Sunholdt. Following the birth of Anne’s youngest sibling, Johanna Eleanor, her mother temporarily disappeared from her children’s lives, leaving the future of Sunholdt in the hands of distant relatives and tutors.

From a young age Anne was seen frequently in court, usually at the flank of her grandmother, Princess Anne, The Princess Imperial, or her paternal great-aunt, Lady Maisie. The young d’Arkent had quite a vibrant personality within court in her youth, often getting into all kinds of trouble with her twin, whether it be attacking other courtiers or shouting during balls. As the twins grew older, Joseph began to receive serious punishments for his actions while Anne remained generally unpunished, causing a rift between the two which seemingly remains to this day.
