Vazali is the oldest of Emperor Xeres and Queen Vizada's three children.  As Crown Princess she attended the famed Ridallia Academy in Jantrala, then moved into one of the royal family's country estates just outside the capital.  She never dreamed that she would be inheriting the throne so soon, but with her father's unexpected death she took on the responsibility of ruling an interstellar empire still quaking from the Great Civil War.

Vazali is very dedicated to her role as Empress, putting the good of the Empire above everything else--including, at times, her own health and happiness.  A medical condition has left her incapable of bearing a child, and romance is merely a dream better left to women with less hectic schedules.  Her two siblings have moved away and continued with their own lives, while Vazali seems destined to spend her life married to the crown, giving all of herself to the Empire.

She is elegant, kind, hard-working, well-educated, charismatic, powerful--and utterly alone.
