Josefina de Porphyropolis Kyani

Josefina de Porphyropolis Kyani, more commonly known as Josie by her friends and family, is a political figure and member of the royal family within Amarillo.

She was born and raised in the Mediterranean island of Porphyropolis in the Southern Drakaen region of Las Islas Doradas. As adult, Josefina became the second queen and fourth monarch of Amarillo after the death of her mother, Empress Connie Aulian de Porphyropolis at the end of the Second Amarillian Civil War.

Early Life
Josefina was born on the island of Porphyropolis in the Amarillian region of Las Islas Doradas with her mother Connie de Porphyropolis, father Knarr Kyani and her mother's parents Soronaca and Delta de Porphyropolis. Being the first child of the Amarillian Royal Family (House de Porphyropolis) in a long time, her life was threatened by citizens from the neighbouring nation of Pasifa, who were enemies of Amarillo during the Kelp War, a conflict over sea level that was coming to a close at the time of Josie's birth. After her birth, she was given the title of Princess as Connie de Porphyropolis was announced the Heir to the Amarillian Throne. Despite being a child growing up in a well liked royal family, her childhood years weren't all that pretty: Josie, at the age of 3 months old was kidnapped for the first time by a Pasifan who was later identified as Jom Jîri. Her father, Knarr Kyani also disappeared immediately after her birth, resulting in her never meeting him until her early teens, despite writing letters to him with the help of her mother as soon as she learnt to read and write. She would experience several other kidnappings in her early childhood until finally being placed under protection by her mother once found in a tree in the Pasifan capital Suzukafun in the middle of the night.

Josie was homeschooled by her mother in Porphyropolis from a young age, primarily as a precaution of safety for Josefina's life, but also due to the lowest level of educational school in Amarillo at the time being a university, of which Josie was too young to attend. Due the fairly isolated location of Las Islas Doradas in comparison to the mainland of Amarillo, she was well protected and sheltered from conflicts such as the 2nd Amarillian Civil War which threatened her family and her grandfather's rule as King.

Parents:
From her birth, Josie never met her father, Knarr Kyani due to him disappearing the same night of her birth until the age of 13, where during a visit to Puerto Amarillo to visit her mother, she bumped into him into the street. His state was confused and violent, unable to remember that he'd had a daughter, instead looking for his long since dead son who'd been born years before Josie. However, her relationship with her mother was very close, never far behind one another and almost always seen together, from foreign diplomacy to the gardening of Hirane, a town located in modern day Aurica, which at the time was a part of the Amarillian Empire and of which Connie was the Mayor of. Growing more distant once Connie became Empress of Amarillo and spending less time together, Josie would never recover from the sudden death of her mother during the 2nd Amarillian Civil War after never being able to truly say goodbye face to face. However, due to their strong connection and the magic behind Connie being partially undead, she was able to continue to communicate to her late mother throughout her period of grief.

Grandparents:
Josefina spent many occasions, especially during her childhood with her loving grandparents in Porphyropolis; Soronaca de Porphyropolis and Delta Canalopin de Porphyropolis. Delta was very friendly and playful with Josie, taking her boat trips from Porphyropolis to meet her mother in Hirane, or on even further travels to meet her Great Aunt Tiffany in New Yoake, located in the old nation of the Nachtenreich. After her birth, Soronaca decided to clean the baby Josefina, unable to find soap, he used a bottle of Vodka as a disinfectant, the infant proceeded to swallow some of the vodka bathwater, causing her to becoming violently sick only a few hours into life. Soronaca, after being scalded by Josefina's mother, Soronaca was restricted to washing the child, leaving that duty to Josie's mother and grandmother until she was old enough to wash herself. Josie was also brought along to Soronaca's victory speech in Suzukafun, Pasifa at the end of the Kelp War, nearly witnessing his assassination as a Pasifan Nationalist attempted to stab him on the stage, being quickly scooped up by Delta, Josie was carried to safety, but remained in Pasifa under the protection of her grandparents, despite the risk of kidnapping increasing after the commotion.
