My main characters of Monarchy X Anrachy, Natalya's primary story! The Petite Affairs of Natalya was just a spin-off of mXa.
Natalya Charnetskova- The Grand Duchess of Imperial Perovskia and daughter of the Czar. She enjoys daydreaming, eating sweets, and having tea parties. She is spoiled rotten by her father, so its not uncommon for her to be selfish and forget the feelings of others. Doctors predict that she won't live past the age of 16 due to severe anemia.
Alistair Glazastov- The Holy Knight of Imperial Perovskia and Natalya's most loyal keeper. Though he is the best known swordsman of Perovskia, Alistair is very antisocial. He loves to read and write, and he absolutely adores Natalya.
Ilarion Voroshilovskii- The former Prince of Perovskia, knight of the monarch and one of Natalya's keepers. He has a dark past but hides it with his outgoing personality. Ilarion enjoys music and plays many instruments including the violin, harpsichord, and piano.
Lachlan/Lorna Armitage- Ambassador of the kingdom of Chelicerea, official portraitist of the Perovskian court, and a knight of Natalya. He is actually a woman in disguise who wishes women had more influence in politics. A very calm and composed swordsman until Abstract art comes into the conversation.
Elodie Beaulieu- A purged Soucoyant and Natalya's only Lady-in-Waiting. She is a defiant young girl who is head over heels for Lachlan.
Story:
Natalya enjoys her lavish, secluded life but when she moves into an abandoned castle things change. She meets a talking skeleton named Adrastus and he casts a spell on her, turning her into a living doll. Her keepers, Alistair, Ilarion, and Lachlan aid her in her quest to find seven singing towers and collect pieces of a song that is said to revive the old order. It's Natalya's job to destroy the song before Adrastus can use it to his advantage. There are more than just talking skeletons and living dolls though; vengeful Dark Artists and a blood-thirsty Soucoyant are after the Grand Duchess and her knights. Can Natalya keep her sanity long enough to rid the kingdom of the looming threats or will her anemia kill her first?
