Empress Uvennaer

Empress Uvennaer Vara'tu (She/Her)

Overview

The current Empress of the Kepek Commonwealth, Empress Uvennaer is a relatively young Empress (by Kepek standards). She came into power when she was only 16 Bektep Orbits old, barely old enough to even be considered after her mother stepped down from the role due to her ailing health. She was the youngest of her siblings and was not expected to get elected by the council. But in a rather odd twist of fate, only one of her other siblings was willing to take the role. The sister she was competing with was a very opinionated person and was keen to introduce many changes to the way the Kepek Commonwealth was run, which would have mostly acted against the interest of the ICF Captains on the council. Assuming Uvennaer would be easier to manipulate, they voted her in instead. Uvennaer was keenly aware of this fact however and, with her mother's help, she took many measures to ensure she would not be swayed by the pressure of the adults around her.

This has turned Uvennaer into a very untrusting person as an adult but has kept her safe. She is not very well-liked among the council but is loved by the people thanks to her policies (heavily influenced by her sister) heavily favouring the common folk.
