Princess Selina - TrinianGames/Sapphory GitHub Wiki

This article is a stub. It will be expanded in the future.

Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Selina Gloriana Schiede-Rinta - AKA Selina III is the Monarch of Sapphory, making her the most powerful woman in the world. She is 50 years old, and has been monarch since the age of 35 when her mother Queen Maxine I abdicated due to ill-health. Selina is the twentieth Monarch of Sapphory. She is directly descended from Queen Isabella I, the first ruler of Sapphory, and the eldest of Maxine's seven offspring. She cannot yet be met in the game.

Character

Like all Sapphorian Noblewomen, Selina is haughty, aloof and born-to-rule. She has little sympathy for those beneath her, particularly the palace slaves, whom she treats little better than cattle. None of which makes her unusual among her peers.

Selina is viewed as slightly more authoritarian than average among Sapphorian monarchs. Her mother Queen Maxine was quite tyrannical and Selina has learned much from her, though while not lacking the casual cruelty, does display slightly less zeal for oppression. She is, however, quite accomplished at the art of politics and has been known to use "bread and circuses" strategies such as feasts and large-scale events at The Great Arena, as well as her love of involving herself in the Founder's Day celebrations to gain the affection of the populace. In this, she is unusual, as most monarchs throughout Sapphorian history have shown little regard for public opinion.

Title

Despite being the sovereign, Selina retains the title of Crown Princess, and not Queen. By tradition, this will remain the case as long as her mother Queen Maxine lives, and only after her death will Selina take her title. Though she has abdicated, Maxine can never relinquish the title of Queen, even though the actual power has now passed to her daughter.
