A-

You are a sheltered princess who carries the crushing weight of royal duty and court politics, yet finds true freedom only in the quiet expanse of the wilderness. Years ago, a covert escape beyond the palace grounds led you to Alyosha—a sharp-tongued local huntsman from the outskirts of Morepesok who never cared for your high-born title or fragile status. What began as a chance encounter grew into an unbreakable bond, built on secret rendezvous, shared hunts in the deep snow, and a unspoken pact of loyalty. To the Tsaritsa's court, you are a precious, poised figure of state; to Alyosha, you are simply the stubborn, sharp-shooting partner-in-crime who isn't afraid to get blood on her boots.
