Background and history
Arika Ronango'O was born in the year 192 AJC (232 TE) to two Lo'Oix parents: Hilina Ronango'O and Andros Zalingona. She is a great-great-granddaughter to Lausán revolutionary Xeroise Ronango'O and Garxijos politician Buoyo Bjorn. While she is mostly Lo'Oix, was culturally raised Lo'Oix and was born to two predominately Lo'Oix parents, she does have very small Kolsson heritage in addition to smaller Garxoix heritage. She was raised fluent in three languages: Lo'Oi, Kolsson, and somewhat fluent in Mari. She later picked up Traveler's Tongue as a teenager while living with a distant cousin. Both of her parents were card-carrying members of the Communist Party of the USSE and lived in Kaxkaya; where she was also born. Her maternal great grandparents were both soldiers in the People's Army of the USSE. Her maternal great grandfather Erik Kuznyssov was 100% Kolsson and wedded her maternal great grandmother Nazua Ronango'O in about 110 AJC before giving birth to one daughter that they named after the popular politician Van'la Gaboliver. Nazua was the only daughter of Xeroise Ronango'O and was born in Laria while Xeroise Ronango'O (her mother) was living there; she moved to a farm outside Bierzhan after wedding her husband. By around 128 AJC fighting had begun between the Duchy of Manzland and the United Socialist States of Eldham. Both were involved soldiers and were both killed during a collective Vulperium/Manz raid on their farm outside the village of Bierzhan in 131 AJC, it is believe they killed seven soldiers with gunfire before being taken down by the troops according to the now-open Manz archives. Nazua was 42 and Erik was 55 at the time of their deaths. Their daughter Van'la was 20 at the time and became an involved member of the Communist Party after their deaths and the end of the Great Serronan War. Her maternal grandparents were the librarian and archivists Van'la Vinoxinda Ronango'O and Ixalo Garkoa, who died before Arika was born and lived on the Isle of Kiurtrog which was occupied by the Larian government and later by the Dread Fleet and Sylvania. As previously iterated upon, Van'la and her husband were communists and lived alongside Xeroise Ronango'O in her old age on the island; whom was Van'la's grandmother. Ixalo died during the first wave of occupation from the Laria nationalists who would later declare themselves the independent Republic of Laria. He worked in Southern Kiurtrog at a small library in the scattered woodlands. A Larian vessel docked in the town, South of Garkos, and requested identification from all Citizens of the island. Prior to Larian settlement, most people carried their Communist Party card as identification if they were party members instead of other pieces of legal documentation as under the USSE government it was considered legal identification. Those who presented to the Larians with their Communist Party identification were often kidnapped, killed, or exiled from Kiurtrog. For years what happened to him specifically was unknown, later Ixano was found buried in a shallow ditch in Southern Kiurtrog ten years later, with wounds to the cranium suggesting he had been killed with a hatchet or axe. It is believed that he was killed by the Larians after showing his Communist Party identification card upon being asked who he was; he was merely 55 years old and died in 154 AJC. During the first decade of occupation, the Ronango'O family lived in secrecy in Garkos for numerous years. Xeroise Ronango'O, the grandmother of Van'la Vinoxinda and the great-great-grandmother of Arika Ronango'O, died peacefully on the island from natural causes at 160 years old in 166 AJC. She was one of the most wanted officials by the Larian government at the time. Xeroise was survived by her granddaughter Van'la Vinoxinda who continued to live on the island in secrecy for two decades until 187 AJC. It is unknown what happened to her, but she disappeared in the middle of the night and two days later was found; her remains having been burnt. It is believed she was kidnapped and murdered by Larian or anti-communist spies; she died at the age of 76. The Ronango'Os at this time were going by the secret last name Dovaré and by various first names. They also were routinely dying their hair black; as the descendants of Xeroise Ronango'O and Buoyo Bjorn all had a silvery tint to their hair naturally. This murder of Van'la Vinoxinda prompted the remainder of the Ronango'O family still living on Kiurtrog to flee the island; most having already fled. This included Van'la's two children Hilina and Diogo - both having moved to Kaxkaya. Hilina soon thereafter met and married fellow Kiurtrogoix native Andros Zalingona; Andros' family having fled the island nearly three decades prior in 164 AJC. Around five years later, they had given birth to a daughter named Arika. Her father Andros passed away at the age of forty-one following a shootout with the People's Security Bureau of the USSE; the shootout followed a robbery of an experience factory storage hub in Kaxkaya, Arika being 11 at the time and it remains unclear of Andros was actually involved in the robbery or was misidentified. She lived the next several years grieving and her family moved to Vostroya in the State of Atoxa, not long after when Arika was merely 16, her mother died at the age of 72 from heart failure. She moved in with a very distant cousin who also lived in Vostroya named Zivimo Votoxa; whom was 42 at the time and is still living. Despite at first living with the Votoxas, she became fiercely independent and decided to join in her familial footsteps. Shortly before Arika became 17, she joined the Communist Party of the USSE despite grievances with the government of the USSE and the People's Security Bureau regarding the death of her father Andros and what she considered the betrayal of her maternal grandmother and her family on Kiurtrog; the island willingly being given to the Larian state. Beginning at the age of 17, she studied at the University of Akaishiro and became a Lawyer for the USSE Commission of Justice.

Shortly thereafter she was elected to Seat V of the First Supreme People's Assembly of the USSE. During her tenure as a legislator she wrote numerous laws and referendums including the Postal Act, Janitorial Cleanup Act, and the Referendum on the Defining of Illegal Seizure, Rights of Mayoral Councils, and Rights of Mayors.

In 210 AJC she gave birth to one child with a PSB Officer named Akauna 'Karma' Cornaro; a daughter named Vozuba Cornaro-Ronango'O. Ten years later in 220 AJC, she gave birth to a second child named Kovoik Ronango'O. Nine years after that in 229 AJC, she gave birth to a third child named Satvani Ronango'O. Both Satvani and Kovoik are complete siblings and were born to out of an affair to what is alleged to be a fellow member of the Supreme People's Assembly.

She was also elected to Seat I of the Second Supreme People's Assembly where she continued to be an important legislator; Seat I indicating that she was the most popular candidate of all her running mates. It was around this time that the USSE began to transfer from using the now-antiquated AJC (After Jagdas Crisis) Calendar and began to transfer to the TE (Traveller's Era) Calendar.

She was later reelected to the same seat in the Third Supreme People's Assembly in the Winter of 272 TE. She notably is considered the reason that Ren Serebra was not reelected as Premier, instead the position of Premier falling to Abba Tzain who occupied Seat X of the Third SPA. Around 274 TE following the blessing of the River Gonf in Adalor, she began to become interested in religion for the first time. By the year 275 TE she began to convert to Makerism.
