Mertugi

Life
She’s a really friendly girl. She was a splitting image of her mother and her father’s quirkiness. According to her mother and the congress of Furiconia, She will rule both Nyaan and Furicon Empire as long the Empress Metasi still living.

Sadly, Metasi passed away giving birth to Kaeru nullifying the integration of the Empires.

Gaeguli focused on grooming Mertugi while ignoring Kaeru. He even sent her to a privately owned boarding school. Later the same year, her brother was also enrolled.

Years later, an epidemic wiped out most of everybody in eastern Terrosia and

Northern Mimi. Mertugi and Kaeru was transported to an island so they don’t get the disease. They both stayed there for almost 2 years.

Coronation
Even though Gaeguli volunteered to be tested to be vaccinated, his health fails since the vaccine only lessen the effect. Instead of living for 2 weeks after contracting the virus, he live for three more years. That time, He spent most of his time in the bed. He appointed [missingname] as his high king since he cant go out that much.

Mertugi supposed to be crowned at age 12, after her father become delirious and started hallucinating about his wife and mother. He died a month after that.

She founded the Nyaan Univerity of Terrosia where Iyagu and Sammaku graduates in the future. She speak against the pollution. She made an segregated recyclables like papers and metals and general waste. She encourage her citizens to listen to radio every morning for news and morning aerobics.

Media Bribery
When the media become a widespread in the empire, she becomes a target for slandering and fake news. This angers Kaeru but Mertugi just said it will be okay. Kaeru disagreed with this and bribed the media. However, this further escalate the slandering for the Rayshine siblings.

Ambasador of Love and Peace
She’s a pacifist empress. She withdraw most of her troops so they can visit her family. She increases the military age to 18. (lowers again during Kaeru) She doesn’t get angry easily and avoids the path of violence. She settles disagreement as low as possible.

Because she’s an ambassador of peace, many men approached her and tried to court her.
