Empress Zurie

Empress Zurie is the 39-year-old leader of the Celestine Empire and globally recognized fashionista. She is infamous for her many rumored dalliances.

History
Born as the only child to her royal parents, Zurie was showered with affection and riches from the earliest of ages. She attended many schools and universities in the Celestine Empire as well as the Barony, where she developed a love for fashion. The nobility all over the Core obsess over her extensive (and gorgeous) wardrobe to this day.

Although she has had many suitors from all corners of the Core Empires, the Empress has never married. To great controversy, she has two young children; Lady Selena and Master Sennet.

Characteristics
Empress Zurie is the best dressed individual in the world, and she intends to stay that way. Tailors and artists come and go from her palace in Chateau with alarming frequency- Zurie's need for everything new and exciting seems insatiable.

The Empress is always casual, adressing everyone she meets- from peasants to Emperors- in the same nonchalant tone. Despite her apparent disinterest, she is the most powerful woman in the world, and demands to be shown the respect due to her.

However, she allows numerous newspapers to print what are arguably ghastly stories about her rumored affairs. Empress Zurie doesn't seem to mind the tabloids.

Rumors

 * The Empress went to many schools when she was young. People say she did poorly in her lessons, and was frequently kicked out. Others claim she is some sort of prodigy, soaking up information like a sponge.
 * A common joke is that a way to solve the various financial crises around the globe is to sell off Empress Zurie's wardrobe. Indeed, any inquiries to the Empress on how much she has spent on her magnificent outfits are met with a grin and a wink.
 * The Alfaxmos Imperium is relentless in their attacks on Zurie, especially her bastard children. Some think they protest too much. The Empress, however, never responds to such attacks. Some think she protests too little.
 * The rumors about Empress Zurie's sexual prowess are legendary. Some say she averages a dozen men a day, horses when they can't do the trick, and women when she's bored. Her proponents say the rumors were started by Alfaxmos newspapers, but they are illegal in the Celestine Empire. Curious indeed.
