The Heiress

Julia, Capalla Heiress

You have been raised in the harsh warlike culture of the Capallas. You are a princess: heir to the high throne, and have been taught since birth how to lead armies, how to inspire fear and love in your people, and most of all to hate the Mantags.

For many years, you were well indoctrinated. However, it all broke down when you met Roma. You met him when the Mantags briefly held you captive. No one else had a kind word for you the whole time, but Roma never said anything unkind. He spoke to you of his travels and of his people. During the brief days that you were a captive, the two of you fell madly, terribly in love. He is a Mantag heir, but has no control yet. Both of you are still under legal age, and, even if you were not, a royal heir has little freedom.

To make things worse, you have been claimed in marriage by the fierce and dangerous warlord Khaat'sha. He is old and ugly, but claimed your hand as his prize after winning a great battle against a Mantag fleet. Your father cares little for Khaat'sha, but it was less than Khaat'sha could have demanded, and your father had little choice. He will force you into this marriage.

In order to be together and run away from Khaat'sha, you have agreed to flee with Roma. You were waiting for the right moment, and, when you saw the alien ship you knew it had come. You made plans, and the two of you beamed aboard. In the confusion, you have fled to the ship, abandoning your titles and power for a quiet life together.
