In Aaun she served as the Lady Chamberlain to House Alstion, In Adria, she was seen taking care of the wounded and sick within the Clinic of Saint Catherine. In 1913 she would wed the Count of Vaška, Jan Ivanovich, and take up the role as his consort before eventually inheriting the title of Countess of Aldersberg in 1914 when her aunt, Austina of Aldersberg would pass from ailments.

Early Life

Cressida Marie Novellen-Aldersberg was born on the 14th of Sigismund's End to the Lord Arthur Marie Aldersberg and his wife Lady Nastasiya vas Ruthern and her siblings followed long after, until eventually a hereditary illness claimed her fathers life. This is when Cressida's passion for medicine began to spark, The young child often spent her early years by her fathers side. Often did she sit and watch the physicians care for the sickly lord until he eventually did pass. Amongst her many cousins, she stuck out like a sore thumb, being a pale blonde surrounded by the dark-haired Rutherns.

As a child, Cressida was not much of a social girl. Instead of playing around with the other children, she would rather stay couped up in her room surrounded by many books. Her mother was an ambitious warrior and did not really have time to care for the young girl, although reportedly, Cressida did not mind much as she would much rather have her time spent on her studies. Cressida enjoyed being tutored and amongst the other children was a much better student, being a curious child always ready to learn, which led her to excel in her studies though this would cause her to become rather snobby and not understand how to communicate with others.

After her mother decided to go travelling, her paternal Aunt, Austina of Aldersberg, would summon the young Aldersberg to come to the court of Castle Saint Emalyne for the rest of her adolescence.

Moving to Adria

After the summons of her Aunt, the Duchess, Austina of Aldersberg at the bright age of 14 years old, Cressida took her adventures east. Originally being brought to her Aunt as a ward of the court, She instead continued to stay within her books though instead she much enjoyed traveling around this time to further them. Upon her arrival in The Kingdom of Aaun, did Jan Ivanovich decide to show her the nearest city and act as her chaperone between many the destinations of her travels.

Her Interest in the work of Medicine further continued being one of the only trained physicians within Velec, Including the act of Saving her uncle Heinriks life after a heart attack. Though within the year of 1909 did her and two other Medics within the Duchy of Adria establish the Medical guild of Saint Catherines , where her and her fellow councilors trained and educated other medics.
