Odissa, the Forgotten Queen
"I have lived forever with a firm belief in my own blood.
That my blood would not lie to me. And my sister would not betray me.
And that became my downfall."
Odissa was the firstborn of the proud First Blood king, Thaumus Tsukinami, and his successor by order of birth, talent, and power. Thaumus had three daughters in Odissa, Ophelia and Odette, so there was no ligitimate male heir to the throne.
Since a young age, Odissa was kept away from her sisters and mother to be trained in the ways of rulership and warfare, and quickly realized that the reason for that is that the men around her look down on women for the sake of being women.
Unfortunately, the more time that passed, the more she felt a distance between herself, Ophelia, and Odette. The women in her life practically nonexistent.
And the one man from whom she always sought acknowledgment, her father, never provided any real love for her until she had molded herself into a stone-cold stern-faced crown princess whose mere presence could make thousand year old generals stand stiffly.
But she didn't want to be another bloodthirsty, ruthless ruler who cared more about getting their name into history tomes as the next Great Conqueror. Oh, quite the contrary.
She had always planned on stabilizing her throne through connections and trade. Build a web of control and power through every field advantage the First Blood territories provide. Build more watchtowers and strongholds rather than hold expensive military campaigns.
She wanted to empower the throne, the empire, with a meticulously thought-through long-term plan.
Her father, after finally bringing Odissa closer when she'd perfected her facade, pushed for her to marry a Sanguine sooner than later. In particular, he wanted her to marry Saeclus, their youngest and most gifted family member.
Seeing no particularly better option around her and knowing of the influence and power being married to a Sanguine would give her, she agreed easily.
What came as a surprise though, was Saeclus Sanguine himself.
Up close and personal, Saeclus was less and less like the images people made of him - a blood-coated sly beast or a cowering and incapable brat - and more like a pleasantly warm august evening. Soft and pretty, a beautifully artistic mind, a strong body.
She loved him before she knew it. And she couldn't quite help herself either. He was so different from what she was used to.
Unfortunately, the first rumblings of hell beasts being set loose from beyond the black mountains came during this time. Saeclus was sent to war to protect their territories and the Demon World, as were all the other army men.
To make matters worse, her father began to feel ill though - he refused to give up the throne - and Odissa had to take on more and more of his duties. She appeared within public eye less and less, believing that her sisters would be capable of handling high society during this time.
And they did, until Ophelia decided that she wanted the throne for herself.
