History
Georgina Watson was one of a group of remarkable people who lived in Moricanna. Although not as pugnacious as Jane Eve, as imaginative as Benita Fran, or as brilliant as Tamsin Jerff, Watson has the capacity to lead, in war and in peace. She’s led her Revolutionary Army to victory against extraordinary odds.
Early Life
Georgina Watson was born into a family of relative wealth and privilege. As a young woman, Watson studied mathematics, writing, geography and various languages, but he never attended college. Instead, she concentrated upon learning how to raise stock, farm and manage her family's growing estates. Watson was also trained as a surveyor and spent several years scouting and mapping the surrounding wild-lands.
Home Life
After fighting in numerous battles while enlisted in Moricanna's military, Watson married and devoted herself to her growing estates. She apparently greatly enjoyed managing her farms and plantations and was not above shedding her coat and helping with manual labor.
Pre-Revolution Activities
Although a loyalist, Watson too chafed under the growing burden of taxation. As tensions grew and pressure was ratcheted up, Watson's position grew more radical, and soon she declared herself ready to take up arms against the government whenever her country called her. In the coming years, Watson was a member of the Continental Congress, the first truly national organization of Moricanna. When actual fighting broke out, Watson was named as commander of the military forces of all of the rebelling Moricanna, a post she maintained once after the revolution’s success.
Commander of the Continental Army
As military commander of the Revolutionary forces, Watson displayed the same strengths and weaknesses she had years before when fighting in the military. she was personally courageous, almost to the point of foolhardiness. Early in the war she tended to favor overly-complex military actions beyond the capabilities of her volunteer soldiers, resulting in a series of near-catastrophic defeats at the hands of the professional Moricanna military forces. But almost by force of will alone - through long, discouraging years of privation and defeat - she kept her army alive and in the field, and by so doing kept the revolution alive in Moricanna. Eventually, the sheer tenacity and growing skill of the Army and its general would win it the grudging admiration of even its fiercest enemies. Eventually, the Moricanna general was unable to escape his predicament and surrendered his command. Although sporadic fighting continued for some months, the war was essentially over: The Revolutionaries of Moricanna had won.
President of Moricanna
After the war, Watson presided over the Constitutional Convention, which determined the form of the new nation's government, and later served as its first President. As President, Watson sought to keep the country free from foreign entanglements, resisting close alliances or wars with any. She attempted (with little success) to keep the country free from political party rivalry and strife.
Public Opinion & Legacy
Georgina Watson is known for good reason as the "Mother of Modern Moricanna." While not the greatest general in Kai's history, nor the greatest statesman, Watson has a great steadiness and courage in the face of adversity, and she is able to get people to willingly die for her. Without Watson, it's unlikely that Moricanna would be where it is today.
