Bio:

Arabis was the first born child to the Kingdom of Viypa making her first in line to claim the throne.  She lived a pampered life until the age of six when her parents entrusted the young princess to Nepeta a loyal old maid.  It was Nepeta’s job to teach the young princess humility and patience outside of the castle's walls. After eight years of living with the maid, Nepeta had passed away in her sleep leaving Arabis devastated. She returned to the castle’s enormous empty halls and her parents loving arms. Shortly after arriving home, her mother had informed her that they had been blessed with another child. Arabis was ecstatic upon hearing the news that her mother gave her and wanted to meet her younger sibling. Ophidia however was disgusted by her presents. He begged his parents to send her away again. But they would always insist that she was part of the family and that Arabis belonged with them.
As the years went by she grew to love Ophidia. However Ophidia’s feelings towards her did not change. His hatred consume him to the point where he came up with plan to kill his family and assume the throne. Ophidia’s saw money as no object. Traveling to a poor district in Viypa, he sought out a desperate person to assassinate his family. There he found a young man looking to be part of the royal guard. He approached the man and offered him a position in the royal guard. But there was a catch. In order for him to be truly worthy he had to kill the “corrupted” King, Queen and the Princess. Ophidia had informed him of their routine. Thus the young man agreed and set out on his mission.
Strolling through the vast marketplace the King and Queen were holding hands while their daughter was greeting all the townsfolk as they walked. The young man walked behind the King and queen. In one swift motion had stabbed, with incredible precision, the King and Queen. Upon impacted a combination of blood and poisonous gas spewed out of their body’s enveloping the assailant, people fled in a blind panic. During the panic Arabis was tousled around being pushed further away from her parents.  She saw what she believed to be her parents lying on the ground making her run towards them. When the gas cleared there lied the bodies of the King and Queen with tears staining their faces, lifeless eyes locked onto each others still holding hands, in a pool of their own blood. The young man laid dead behind them.
Arabis was devastated at the horror that had just unfolded. Upon seeing their bodies she fell to her knees and cried out to the goddess to save her parents. The Goddess had heard the young girls prays and had sent a messenger in the form of a scorpion. The scorpion informed her of the true tragedy that had just unfolded. Realizing of the consequences, Arabis had pleaded to the Goddess to spare her brother's life. The Goddess Ivy took pity on Arabis by granting her wish of keeping her brother alive, but under the condition that Ophidia’s would never set foot in the light again and to live as a filthy low animal. The Goddess had sweared that Arabis would uphold the laws of the kingdom and for Arabis to never go against her judgement again.
