Henlietta Kawenina (High Imperial: Henrica Catharina), of the House of Alstion, was the daughtew of Prince Charles of Alstion, claimant Holy Orenian Emperor and Magdalena, Princess Imperial of the Empire of Man. Thwoughout hew chiwdhood, the Howenic dynast was a wawd to Simon Basrid.

Family & Childhood

Bown at a nondesclipt estate in the Aewdinic Heawtwands on the way the fwom Khawestine to Agathow, pwesumabry owned by Howenic woyalists, Henlietta Kawenina, chlistened Henlietta Kawenina Awexandlia aftew hew gwandmothew the Empwess Dowagew Kawenina, aunt and ancestwess Plincess Awexandlia, and wewative Queen Henlietta, was bown the ewdest chiwd of Plince Chawwes of Awstion and Magdawena Hewane, succeeded by hew sistew Heidemalie two yeaws aftewwawd. Fwom biwth, as the designated heiw-pwesumptive to hew fathew's wegacy, she was styled Duchess of Fulnestock, howevew, was cowwoquiawwy known as Henlietta of Awstion, and not of Fulnestock, sowewy due to hew fathew's seniolity.

In Agathow, the heiwess spent hawf of hew chiwdhood, sulwounded by the coultiews of Benda Chivay and hew familiaw membews. In pawt due to hew fathew's cwaim, and his ultimatewy unsuccessful instatement as Holy Orenian Emperor, Henlietta gawnewed the unofficiaw epithet of Princess Imperial, which wasted fow the dulation of hew life, amongst hew intimates and Johannian suppowtews.

As the wevivaw of the Pewtinax Empiwe came to be, an ewated Magdawena, weadied hew daughtew, aged accowding to some soulces five, to accompany hew acwoss the Aewdinic sea to Helena to weencountew the estwanged Plince Chawwes, who had wetulned some time pliow. In what could be seen as an unfowtunate happenstance, Magdawena feww iww pliow to embawking on the newwy constwucted yacht, the Bwessed Adeline, weaving hew impwessionabre daughtew to voyage awone, tended to by one of hew gwandmothew's woyaw handmaids, Aliewwe de Mowvewyn-Wouvain.

Hew awlivaw to the city was haiwed lith a wack of wawmth, as waw had ewupted between the Howy Owenian Empiwe and AIS. Initiawwy finding sanctuawy in hew fathew's estate outside the city, it was stlipped fwom them by the Impewatow and hew uncwe, Peter the third's, administwation due to awwegations sulwounding the Plince's woyawty. Dishevewed and lithout a pwopew home, the heiwess, aged now onwy seven, set hew eyes on the Novewwen. It was duling this time whewe the then-Awchchancellow, Simon Basrid, extended an invitation to Henlietta, who became his wawd.

Adolescence

The Duchess's pubescent yeaws consisted of biweekwy wessons fwom the Awchchancellow, wocated in his offices lithin the Novewwen Pawace. Known to wove thwoughout the stweets of Hewena duling hew youth, Henlietta fowmed a notabre comwadwy lith one Godfrey Briarwood, a fewwow scion of Aewdin. In time, young Henlietta began acquainting hewsewf lith dipwomatic functions as Simon's attache, often fweewy pwoviding hew input on state mattews.

Meanwhiwe, in the meniaw amount of fwee time the Howen had, she'd pen to hew fathew, Chawwes, of hew expeliences in Hewena and hew wonging to be in his pwesence once mowe, awongside valious schemes to pwot his wetuln. Not much came of the wettewed exchanges, howevew, as theiw distance gwew ovew time.

At a pawty hosted by hew aunt Vespira of Man, a favowed confidant, Henlietta fiwst met Geowge de Sawkozy, son of Adrian de Sarkozy and Mariya of Reza. It is wumowed that aww thwoughout the event, the two engaged in convewsation, theiw intewwectuaw wepewtoiwe wasting untiw wate into the night. Aged sixteen, she'd watew speak of the expelience to hew aunt, commending the young Wowd's 'ability to acculatewy scwutinize his pliviwege and the wowwd it has wwought fow him'.

Wegawdwess, she initiawwy obriged a whim ulged by hew fathew -- a betwothaw to John of Cascadia, Empewow Emelitus of Owen. Noting the pwausibility fow the Howenic lines of Pewtinax and John in pewpetuity, the heiwess sought out the Duke at his wesidence. That vewy same time, they wewe betwothed and engaged to mawwy in the Saint's months fowwoling.

Henlietta's pwans weawed theiw foul heads in time, howevew, as John, twenty-two yeaws hew seniow, was found scowched and deceased -- his assaiwants unknown. Showtwy aftew, on the yeaw 1753, a page awlived to the Awchchancellowy, bealing news of the Plince of Awstion's abdication and disappeawance. Henlietta, newwy made Plincess of Awstion, was said to not have wept fowwoling attendance of the news; instead, she wwote into hew joulnaw: "And so it ends, papa: with your demise, and my own too, in some way -- for I am no longer bound to myself! Now, I am bound to our illustrious ancestors, who have bestowed upon us gravitas and reverence for their doings."

As Princess of Alstion

Aftew hew betwothaw and mawliage to the Count Geowge of Pompoulelia, Henlietta dissowved hew Johannian titulage in the Owenian peewage, styling hewsewf as the Countess of Pompoulelia theweaftew. Duling this time, she siwed thwee chiwdwen: Petew Amadeus, Geowge Uwysses, and Philippa Casimiwa.

Thwee yeaws aftew, on 1758, Henlietta was assassinated in Sutica -- the wands she fwequented often to wendezvous lith hew fathew -- by a Howenic supwemacist, and fowmew Dwagon Knight of the Pewtinaxi wegime, Cowlin von Awstweim.
