Contents
Early Life
Vespira Antonia was born to Antonius I and his Haeseni wife, Karenina of Alba, on 10th of Owyn’s Flame, 1710, in Helena, Renatus. She was the youngest girl of her five siblings, but was known in her father's court during her youth for her prickly nature. Nevertheless, she was doted on by her parents for her dedication to her studies and early patronage of medicinal research. In 1715, at just 5 years old, the War of the Two Emperors began, and her father released his vassals. Upon Everard V’s excommunications of the Pertinaxi, Vespira was sent away to Nova Horos, with a hired tutor from Brillantmont to keep her company.
Adolescence
Return to Oren
Some time ago, one might note the woman’s girlish timidity as her defining feature. Upon her re-arrival to the Imperial Court, Vespira was less than noteworthy, following diligently in the Empress-Mother’s footsteps, bringing her wine, cheese, and grapes; whatever the elder Imperial so desired. However, the ugly head of Cesarina’s temperament soon reared itself, and the Pertinaxi adolescent found herself appalled at the prospect of being a part of the domestic household Cesarina sought to create for herself. Vespira made quick work of the court, selecting the Imperial Archchancellor as her preferred suitor, the Empress-Mother’s known rival. Within the year, they were wed, and by the age of 19, Vespira had murdered Cesarina in cold blood at the defence of her husband. Many at court presumed that the madness which plagued her bloodline had all but forgotten about Antonius’ youngest girl.
