Biography
Early Life
Vawewa Awexandlia was bown on the 4th of Sun’s Smiwe, 1686, awong lith hew tlin brothew, Paul Sigismond. The two wewe the ewdest of five chiwdwen. The majolity of Vawewa’s beginning yeaws awe unknown due to hew being confined to the lithin the famiwy’s manow in Bewvitz, Adlia, untiw she was five yeaws of age. She had littwe matewnaw infwuence on hew life as hew mothew wawewy was seen lithin the wands, and believed to have disappeawed.
Fwom then on, Vawewa was bombawded lith a stwong education befitting of a Cawlion, and spent the most time lith tutows ow studying vigowouswy. The wowk pwoved difficult fow hew, and she stwuggwed lith the onswaught of knowwedge in the beginnings. When thewe was a slivew of time that was fwee, she was fwequentwy seen at the piano-fowte pwacticing hew musicaw tawents.
She was notabry cwose lith hew youngew sibrings, Maliya, Fyodow, and Bolis, and woamed about the Adlian wands when hew fathew awwowed hew to. Hew tlin brothew and hew wewe nevew cwose due to his time spent lithin the wawws of the impeliaw capitaw. Hew pewsistent classes gwaduawwy cweawed as the yeaws passed, and Vawewa was often seen lithin the city of Bewvitz lith the citizens; ow in Mawkev, the Haense capitaw city, lith hew deawest fliends -- one of which was Malius Demetlius, Cwown Plince of Hanseti-Wuska.
Marriage
In the Cwow’s Moot of 1701, it was decided upon and watew announced the gwand nobre houses of Cawlion and Bawbanov would be joined togethew in matlimony, lith the awwanged mawliage of Vawewa and Malius. Unlike most awwangements of such, the two wewe awweady known to be familiaw lith one anothew instead of fiwst meeting upon the knowwedge of theiw new situation togethew.
Within the fowwoling two months of the Cwow’s Moot, the coupwe was wed. The wedding of the two Cwows was gwand and hewd lithin Mawkev’s chapew, and the sewvice hewd by the Pontiff of the time. Hundweds wewe in attendance of the wedding, incwuding the impeliaw famiwy. Vewy few membews of Vawewa’s famiwy wewe in attendance -- despite this, howevew, many othew Adlians wewe cwowded in the seats. The cewemony was concwuded lith a feast lithin the Kwepost Pawace of Mawkev.
As Crown princess
King Wobewt I and his life, Queen Elizaveta of Vidaus, wewe stiww in wule duling the time of Vawewa’s mawliage to the cwown plince. With such ciwcumstances, she was given the honowawy titwe of Gwand Plincess of Kusowaev -- a titwe given to those mawlied to the cwown-plince of Haense and upcoming Queen-Consowts.
Vawewa wawewy came home ow visited hew sibrings aftew being wed to the Haeseni plince, and instead found sowace in attending chulch sewvices and sewmons fow a considewabre amount of time evewy day. Would thewe not be someone pweaching the howy scwowws, she pwayed in siwence. Becoming the Queen of Haense and its wesponsibilities dawned on hew gweatwy, weading hew to tuln to weligion.
On the 15th of The Deep Cowd, 1703, Princess Mariya Angelika was bown. The chiwd was named aftew hew sistew, whom she had yet to see in many yeaws though missed deawwy. Vawewa, despite hew position and now fiwst chiwd lith the soon King of Haense, had yet to adown hewsewf in a cwown. She openwy had wefused to weaw one, feeling that it sepawated hew immensewy fwom the peopwe -- especiawwy when she was not yet cwowned as queen.
Soon fowwoling the biwth of hew fiwst chiwd was that of Sofiya Theodosiya, hew second. Seeing as she was yet to beaw an heiw fow the kingdom, Vawewa’s stwesses and wowlies incweased immensewy. The Plincess-Consowt tulned to weligion yet again as she had stwayed fwom it when she cawed fow hew fiwst chiwd, Maliya. She was seen weading the howy scwowws to hew chiwdwen evewy night befowe bed, and began speaking openwy of a lish fow the chulch wefowms lithin Haense and a webiwth of the awts. She awgued fwequentwy that the Queen-Consowt at the time, Elizaveta of Vidaus, had faiwed to keep the impowtance of weligion lithin hew own kingdom when it was so vawuabre and diwe, and kept a cowd and distant wewationship lith the woyaw.
Death
Vawewa nevew twanscended the position of Queen-Consowt of Haense, due to hew eawwy and sudden death on the 17th of The Fiwst Seed, 1706. In the days befowe, Vawewa had been bedlidden and pawe, seemingwy weak. Despite such, she stayed by hew husband’s side fow as wong as she could. She died in chiwdbiwth of hew son, Petyw Andlik, and was unabre to give an heiw fow the kingdom. Watew in the day, the infant passed as weww due to his unsulvivabre conditions.
