Biography

Early life

Princess Anne Caroline was born on the 5th of Horen’s calling of the year 1789 of the First Age. Five years prior to her birth, her paternal grandmother Anne I and her paternal grandfather, Joseph II have ascended to the throne. Anne and the late Empress are said to have shared a close bond, from Anne Caroline’s birth to Anne I’s death. The princess shared a lot of her late grandmother’s features, starting from the typical Novellen nose to the unique shade of red hair.

In her early childhood, the young imperial was often seen following around multiple people she deemed important, one of them being the Empress herself, her father and multiple Imperial State Army soldiers. She reportedly was close to her older and younger sister, the Princesses Josephine Augusta of Crestfall and Helen Antonia of Crestfall.

Her education was overseen by multiple court tutors - though one has been recorded to say that the princess was a rather slow and stubborn student. According to multiple sources, she would much rather spend her free time painting and climbing rooftops. Nevertheless, through hard work and dedication, she later became a licensed medic at the age of sixteen summers. She reportedly enjoyed hunting within the woods behind the Imperial Capital of Providence, spending most early mornings on horseback.

Upon reaching the age of eighteen, she was wed to Simon Casimir of House Pruvia.

Military Career

Anne Caroline enlisted into the Imperial State Army at the start of the Sedanite Rebellion and even made it up to the rank of Lieutenant for some time. However, after years of absence, she was demoted back to her previous rank.

"My comrades, my husband, my life - all could be lost. But such is our life, a soldier's gamble. We either win - or we lose it all." - Anne of Crestfall, ca. 1818
