Sophia en Olea-Fielinya

GRRR I WROTE SO MUCH THEN THE PAGE RELOADED, THIS COULD TAKE A WHILE.

Birth in Noxwind
Sophía en Olea-Fielinya was born to Lúka en Olea and Naeva en Fielinya. She was born in Noxwind, the capital of The Imperial Archonate of Sylvania. She was not a planned child. Her mother professes no memory of her birth, despite the reassurance of her father that she is biological. Early in her life her father, Lúka en Olea, returned to his homeland in Aristios for his normal duties, Leaving her and her mother alone, her mother would become increasingly absent as she worked on the Shylvakë language, besides Naeva never really wanted the child in the first place. This would leave Sophía plenty of time alone to pursue her passion projects…

A Young Scholar
Just like her parents Sophía was fascinated by language, culture and history. She spent countless hours in the family home in Noxwind, Deciphering ancient texts and memorising history books. She could speak, read and write Common, Shylvakë and High Aristii fluently, by the time her contemporaries were just mastering Common. Her lonely obsession with these ancient hobbies distanced her from the outside world, other children and it resulted in a social anxiety and awkwardness that persists to this day.

Restrictions
Eventually Sophía had read every book in the Noxwind library (at least those worth reading), she had seen all the sites and met all the people. She had eventually turned to mischief making as a way to pass the time. It was time to move on. Packing up her belongings and bidding her Sylvanian family farewell, she boarded the fastest ship to Aristios.

Arrival in Akirâshalam
After weeks at sea Sophía would reach the Imperial Provinces of Aristios and the grand city of Akirâshalam. After the cold formality of Noxwind, Akirâshalam was incredible. The sights, the sounds and the smells astounded her. After wandering the streets for a while, scraping by by reading and writing for those who could not and with no house, she managed to purchase a small house near the city centre and gain a steady job. She began to work as a maid and scribe in the Imperial Palace. Due to the controversial nature of her parents marriage, no other Olea knew of her existence whilst she worked for them. During this time she developed an interest in government and politics, from all the letters she processed for the Imperial Government. The occasional mark or crease in the paper of these official letters, where she had opened and read them, caught the attention of a very important man, Otto en Olea. At first he thought she was an Ashai spy, sent to spy on him personally. But slowly Sophía proved her loyalty, and her worth.
