Background
On the surface Chrysanthe has lived a rather ordinary life. She lived with her parents until around the age of 8 and went through standard schooling up until that point. Around that time her parents were approached and told that their daughter displayed ‘promising academic aptitude’ and that she had been selected to attend a prestigious military academy to help encourage and develop her strengths/skills. While her parents were proud they were hesitant to send their only child away for an unspecified amount of time, especially considering the officials approaching them were oddly vague about the academy itself. Everything about the institution seemed somewhat shrouded in mystery and no matter how hard her father researched he could scarcely find any information on it and what little information he could track down was tightly under lock. Despite all of this her parents placed their trust in the Imperial officials, hoping that this opportunity would give their daughter an advantage and set her up for future success.
During her time away she returned home only once or twice a year for short, supervised visits. She never spoke of her time at the academy or her studies and she was tight lipped regarding anything particularly personal. Her father always made note of her large entourage of bodyguards and attendants. He found it curious that one so young would have so much protection but he never thought to question it, in his mind it was a great comfort to know his daughter was safe and well looked after.
Around the age of 20 Chrysanthe returned home and not long afterwards she was elected to her current position as a Senator. She’s held her position for just over 10 years and she’s built a favourable reputation for herself in the political community. Though loyal to the Empire she is somewhat of a quiet reformist working from within to encourage more humane treatment of those conscripted. She can be relatively open minded, finds other cultures fascinating and to an extent she believes that there is a certain strength that comes from understanding and respecting the culture of those they bring into the Empire rather than completely eliminating it. She’s often assigned to handle negotiations and diplomatic work and she has a hand in both local and foreign affairs.
Sometimes it seems there might be more to her and her work than first meets the eye. While there are many rumours floating around Chrysanthe keeps carefully selected company, covers her tracks well and holds her cards close to her chest so it’s anyone’s guess as to if there’s any truth behind the whispers.
