Background
Birth and Early Life
Kara was conceived while Avery R. Ehrveil was in hiding following her forced abdication. Seeking refuge with Isaac Acentino, Avery found herself under the protection of one of her most trusted allies. During this time, the once-great Empress, now a fugitive, spent her days strategizing her next moves while reflecting on the weight of her past decisions. It was in these moments of exile that she and Isaac, bound by shared burdens and unspoken emotions, found solace in one another.
From the moment of her birth, Kara’s existence was kept a closely guarded secret. She was raised in an environment of caution, trained in both combat and diplomacy from an early age to prepare for the uncertainties ahead. Avery, determined that her daughter would not be a pawn in the empire’s relentless power struggles, instilled in her a deep sense of independence and self-preservation.
Education and Training
Under Avery’s tutelage, Kara was taught the art of strategy, history, and governance, learning firsthand the weight of leadership. Meanwhile, Isaac ensured she understood the nuances of negotiation and alliance-building, honing her ability to navigate the complexities of politics. Despite her secluded upbringing, Kara was not sheltered—her parents ensured she experienced the world beyond their hidden refuge, shaping her into a leader who understood both the struggles of the people and the demands of power.
Connection to the Ehrengard Empire
Though she was born away from New Terranova, Kara’s name alone tied her irrevocably to its fate. The question of her legitimacy and potential claim to the throne loomed over her existence, despite Avery’s efforts to distance her from the political chaos of the Ehrengard Empire.
Some within the remnants of the empire viewed Kara as the rightful heir, a beacon of restoration for the kinder Ehrveillian Dynasty. Others saw her as a threat—a reminder of a fallen Empress who still commanded loyalty from key factions within the Empire. Whether Kara herself seeks to reclaim her family’s legacy or forge a new path remains uncertain.
Personality and Philosophy
- Pragmatic yet idealistic: Kara possesses her mother’s sharp mind and her father’s measured approach, balancing ambition with caution.
- Loyal but independent: While she respects the Ehrveillian legacy, she does not see herself as bound by it, determined to define her own identity.
- Calculated but compassionate: Having witnessed both the cruelty and necessity of power, Kara believes in wielding influence with wisdom rather than force.
Legacy and Future Prospects
After the death of Avery R. Ehrveil, Kara A. Ehrveil and Nordvik Alvaldi met up and decided to merge the ashes of the Ehrengard Empire with the faltering sovereign state of Saludo to form The Second Lilaris Empire.
