Biography[]

Karen Liu was born in Eforminet, Iskirra. When she was fourteen her father Bataar was elected councilor of the city, and their quality of life vastly improved.

She first met the young crown prince of Amarna, Richard Stirling, when she was sent to the royal court as a spy for her father, who was desperate to increase his status. Karen fell in love with Richard, who returned her affections. However, Richard's father, King Aldous, forbade them from marrying. Richard promised Karen that he would marry her as soon as Aldous died and he became king.

Unable to be his wife, she defected from Iskirra and became Richard's official mistress.

As Richard became ill, he began shunning Karen, ashamed of his appearance. She continued to visit him, spending much of her time acting as his nurse. With the death of Aldous, Karen was stunned to find Richard unwilling to go through with the marriage he had promised her when they were young.
