Veronika Zechshelm

Veronika Zechshelm is the 22-year-old daughter of Kaiser Zechshelm and princess of the Alfaxmos Imperium.

History
The Kaiser once described his daughter as 'dangerously adorable.' Indeed, as a little girl Veronika melted the frozen hearts of even the most stony-faced Alfaxmos veterans, and had free reign of the Imperial Palace in Huss.

Despite enjoying a great deal of fame from the public as a child, her teenage years were spent in relative isolation. She moved from school to school and spent little time on her studies until she was permitted to attend a brief but intense stay at the Imperial War Mage College in Huss.

From then until very recently, she was completely absent from public life.

Characteristics
Despite her unkempt hair, lack of style, and love of drink, Veronika is still her father's daughter. Abject melancholy is only occasionally interrupted by brief bouts of passion- violent, sarcastic, or otherwise. She has a soft spot in her heart for order, and enjoys the perks of her status as royalty.

Her childlike lust for adventure is supposedly dead and gone, but there is a glint in her eye that suggests this may not be the case.

She loves her brother Otto dearly. Her sister Sofie is... definitely her sister.

Post-Coalition War
Princess Veronika fled her homeland with her husband Rusty Calico and they now reside in Kesh, where she advises the current Czarista, Collette Bell. She has lended her experience of her academy years in Huss in the founding and maintaining of a school of wizardry in Kesh Capitol.

Rumors

 * During her teenage years she bounced between schools with alarming frequency. Rumors say that all she did was party and drink, others claim the Kaiser refused to believe she was too slow for the material.
 * Veronika is a favorite punching bag for foreign tabloids. Constantly accused of being a drunk and a whore, a few Celestine newspapers even kept an alleged abortion tally that went well into the double digits. Stories of her supposed daliances range from stable boys to Primarch Zadar. No wonder she doesn't travel much.
 * Many exotic and foreign spirits have been shipped to the Imperial Palace, and it's rumored that Veronika is a serious connoisseur.
 * Some say her time with the War Mages was well spent, and that she specifically studied counters to enchantments. Others claim she sought darker secrets.
 * While secrecy is nothing new for the Zechshelm royal family, Veronika was noticeably absent for years after nearly two decades of being in the public eye. Her personality change fuelled rumors of her death and replacement, brainwashing, and even defection.
