Arcadia Shan-Flavia

= Arcadia I Umbra Shan-Flavia of Fortuna & Elys = "'Here, my confidants, is where my ascension is fortold.' -Upon docking at Russantia to reclaim the Umbrian Birthright, July 2022" Queen Arcadia Shan-Flavia was the Minister of Culture for The Imperial Archonal Union, Princess of Fortuna, and Queen of Elys. She was married to Palus "Dampswamp" Shan-Toss, and would found the Arcadian-Palus Royal Branch of the Imperial Andronikon lineage. She would give birth to Nythres Arcadian-Palus. She was most recognized for her participation in the "Second Golden Age" of The Imperial Archonal Union, the a massive royal wedding of Russantia, and the "Revolutionary Revolution" in Montroig. The latter would soon be her downfall as she was slain by Ren Morningstar during the burning of Terroja City.

Born in Haven
In Feburary of 2022, King Vandoro Umbra of Ancient Umbria gave birth to Arcadia in Royal Harbor (a port town of which is now today The Bohemian Grove (April 24th, 2023)), to which she was named after Arcadian Sheep Retter, a lifelong friend of Vandoro. Here in Chevkri, Haven, Arcadia was declared the Heir to Umbria and all its lands, and the future head fo House Umbra. She was raised on Canine Island by Aki and Skipius. However, Arcadia would go missing 5 years later, causing Vandoro to claim the Imperial Uldarashi s stole her.

Living in Fortuna
Arcadia was characterized by her energy, which was endless in passion. This was compounded with an artistic passion for sculpting and oil painting. She was also a fanatical reader, reading the literary works of authors Heinrich Val Oberstein, Alfred Laurier, Coffeeccubus, Gooblegins, and the Pirate Adventures of Ulifer. She learned how to be an equestrian under the tutoring of her mother, Kaiserin - who managed Kaisara's Hippodrome. She also had an affection for wine, as Fortunan grapes were the richest and frozen in all of Cymru. She did not see her father or brother often, and so was raised by her older brother, Valerius, until she graduated Fortuna's Academy early.
