Initial Creation
Relena was created for a private roleplay with a medieval setting. In her country, she was the sixteen year old princess and sole heir to the throne. Her father was elderly and her mother, though beloved by the people, died of illness when she was a toddler. After a rebellion led by a lord named Markus, he killed her father and married her to secure the throne. Relena suffered through an unhappy marriage, as she refused to willingly consummate it and was often spiteful. Markus, for his part, turned to maids and then taunted her about spending money from her coffers if a bastard child should arise. Despite this, she was friends with her husband's bastard daughter, who was a lieutenant and only a year younger than herself. She often went to the camps with her husband and stepdaughter, and on one occasion, attempted to better herself at chess in order to share a hobby with Markus. She lost often and swore the men she played against to secrecy, leading to rumors that she was having an affair. Markus threatened to divorce her and leave her destitute, but she continued to retaliate against him.
