A Princess who wants to bring her people back to Afai, the spirit of the world.
"Princess Aniya (ah-ni-yah) was born on the hottest day of the year, yet she would live a quarter of her life surrounded by ice and snow. When she was 15, snow began to fall and the trees and animals rested for the cold. It never melted—not completely. Snow falls almost every day, save for what used to be the warm season, which now provides dry icy winds and just enough sunlight for the few crops able to survive."
Aniya is the Princess of the Kingdom of Ilonia (ill-loe-nee-ah). She turned twenty-one just under a fortnight ago, and her parents are no longer listening to her pleas to remain unwed. She feels Derik is too young and immature for her, even though she's only one and a half years older than him. She's polite, but snappy in a calm way. When people try to get in her way, she becomes cold, especially because she doesn't like being told what to do. Aniya tends to rebel, but deep down she just wants to make her parents trust and believe in her.
Hair:4a; also uses cuffs for their royal hair accessories around their braids, twists, and locs, often with royal cuffs
She usually wears braids with cuffs as that's the noble style at the time and it helps keep their hair healthy in the colder weather; however, for more formal events, she’ll wear intricate braid designs and/or puffs!
Usual royal crowns are copper tiaras with opals or emeralds
