Princet of Sivania Erikai Gaddafi
The gender-nonconforming princet, gladiator, and celebrity bachelor of Sivania, elf Erikai Gaddafi is known, loved and celebrated by the entire continent. Erikai once said in an interview when asked about their preferred pronouns, "Darling, when people think of me, the last thing they care about are my pronouns. No, they're too busy lamenting the fact that my body guards aren't going to let them close enough to kiss me." He followed this statement up with a wink before prompting the crowd around the reporter to scream in what could only be described as obsessed admiration. Despite their flippant views about sexual intercourse she has been known to have an on again off again romantic relationship with First Child of Glitterfjell, Fendir Frostears and is known to always wear a hijab, following the Sivanian tradition of only allowing one's most intimate partners the privilege of seeing their hair, even during hookups and the famous sex parties that Sivania is notorious for. A popular conspiracy theory surrounding her is the idea that he is the reincarnated soul of the infamous Erikur Oblonsky. His father, Alexei Smirnov-Gaddafi only fanned these rumors in a quote, "It's uncanny- truly uncanny how much of Erikur I see in them. They're both so driven and talented. He definitely didn't get it from me. And if they do share the same soul, I hope I have done enough to make their childhood in this life better than their last." Erikai's net worth is almost three times that of their mother Princess Padma due to the their status as a celebrity. They are the most popular musical artist in all of Thymryu and they draw in the biggest crowds for his prowess, skills, showmanship and those rippling muscles as a gladiator. Just last year they were the most written about celebrity in tabloids, papers and even novella's and graphic novels, some of which caused a new law to be written about using a celebrities face and name in pornographic material without their consent. After the lawsuit was settled filed by First Gentleman of Glitterfjell Professor Lev Popov on Fendir's behalf as they were the other person mention in the graphic novel, Erikai famously made a statement at a press conference, "I obviously do not speak for Fendir, but so long as you get the good side of my dick and make me beautiful, you can make all the pornography of me as you want." Despite their crass humor and vain persona they have maintained a steady following over their 23 years of life and have only grown their celebrity and popularity over the years. He will making many appearances at the Brindellis Arts Festival this year, as well as headlining Sivania's ball and the afterparty at The Giant Cockatrice on Friday night.
First Child of Glitterfjell Fendir Frostears
Fendir Frostears is the gender-fluid druid child of Fenneck Frostears and Lev Popov. As the First Child of Glitterfjell they are often using their place and privilege to make political statements, protest or present new legislative ideas. They are known for being incredibly informal and have gotten critiqued for their unprofessionalism. This has been especially true in regards to their fashion choices at significant events with regards to their father's very prominent career in fashion.
President Fenneck Frostears
Fenneck Finnegan Frostears; tailor, Revolutionist, fashion designer, social rights activist, former Prince, and as people know him today, elected President of the nation of Glitterfjell. He hasn't always had the greatest reputation but he has managed to maintain a high approval rating since he was elected following his decision to leave the Kingdom of Thymryu and restore Glitterfjell as an independent nation. He has had many notable partners in his life including the late Princess Nadya Malenthot, the late infamous musician and political figure Erikur Oblonsky, and controversially Empress Natalya Rasputin who is understood to have deceived and used Fenneck throughout their twenty year relationship as an undercover KAV assignment. He then found comfort and companionship with his current husband, trans rights activist, former choreographer and professor Lev Popov. Together they have one child, Fendir Frostears, and have consistently been a well-loved family in their country. Fenneck is known for his charming personality, his status as a queer icon and activist in the community, and his push for democracy throughout the land.
Heir Prince Mikeal Rasputin
The heir prince of Lenisily is known for his swordsmanship, his love for research and for his dashing good looks he gets from his notorious mother. Little is known about Prince Mikeal as he is often kept from the public eye, though rumors have always surrounded the legitimacy of his paternal relationship to Emperor Ivan Rasputin, most notably the rumor that he could be the offspring of President Fenneck Frostears, even though Fenneck has claimed this to be impossible. He is just a few weeks younger than Fendir at the young age of 18 and has yet to prove himself to be as bloodthirsty as his parents.
Empress of Lenisily Natalya Rasputin
Her imperial majesty Natalya Rasputin is the current Empress of Lenisily and wife of Ivan Rasputin. Empress Natalya is responsible for three of the greatest assassination this continent has ever seen, all of which occurred before she married Emperor Ivan and began her career as Empress. She was responsible for the murder of the former emperor of Lenisily Emperor Anessen Staladin; the performer, queer icon, and political rights activist and fiancé of Fenneck Frostears, Erikur Oblonsky; and the assassination of King Zietdrache of Thymryu only twenty years prior. This is her first time stepping foot onto Thymryu soil despite many threats from civilians and the advise of her own military advisors. It is also the first time she and Fenneck will be seen in public together, which almost prompted the Glitterfjellians to rescind their invitations to the festival due to safety precautions. Despite her nefarious background as a KAV soldier and undercover spy her reign as Empress has been seen as a blessing by many throughout Lenisily, especially the nobles after restoring many traditions and hosting lavish parties that had gone by the wayside during Ivan and Anessen's reigns.
