The Peony of Huawan

Coronation

Royal Palace of Huawan, Lian.

In accordance to Peonic lineage and royal ancestry, Yan was not supposed to have claim to the position of The Peony and remain a princess of the empire. Her oldest brother, Ryuunosuke Yan, and her oldest sister, Shizuka Rowena (née Yan) was the crown prince and the crown princess, respectively. As such she was reportedly excused from the royal tutelage which was subjected to crown prince and the crown princess of Huawan.

In 2011 after the massive HIA 311 crash that killed the crown prince of Huawan, Ryuunosuke Yan, the oldest sister, Shizuka Rowena was next in line to inherit the Peocracy. However the untimely demise of the Empress Dowager Lingxin Yan in 2011, and the death of The Peony Akane Yan and Lord-Professor Hikari Yan in 2014 leaves the Peocracy without a head of state. The royal council enacted martial law until a new monarch was coronated, and that the Royal Premier, Lord-Admiral Zheng He, was to handle state matters.

Upon the approach towards Princess Shizuka Rowena and her coronation. A secret agreement was brokered between the princess and the government of Hammerstar. In the 2014 Winter address to the People's Council, Princess Shizuka unveiled that she refused The Peonic throne and that her dual citizenship as a Hammerstarian hinders her claim to the throne. Her subsequent departure in January 2015 meant that Yan was next in line for the throne. Yan was reportedly distraught by the entire event.

Yan's coronation as The Peony of Huawan, 2015

Although she accepted the throne, she was absent at her supposed coronation a month after her oldest sister rejected the title. The country was under the Royal Premier, Zheng He for a full year, until Yan came back to public light in the 2015 Spring Festivals as the unofficial monarch.

Yan was crowned The Peony of Huawan on the March 3rd 2015. She gave her first address in the extraordinary meeting of the Peonic Council. Afterwards, she appeared before the diplomatic corps, court, etc. in the Royal Palace where she gave a speech. Both the meeting and ceremony at the Royal Hall were broadcast live on television.

Following the ceremonies, she appeared on the balcony to acknowledge gathered crowds, and ended her speech with a promise that "We will do our best to ensure the welfare of the Peonic state and her interests, met."

Reign

Yan in the Imperial Council meeting in the Ancestral Hall

When Yan ascended the throne, plans were already in place to increase further autonomy of the eastern government and the cooperatives, which will stabilize the overly centralized power balance in Huawan. Yan has advocated the increasing autonomy of the regions by reintroducing the administrator system to streamline legislation and communication from governors to prefectures. Her establishment of the Eastern government of Huawan is also an unprecedented move.

Yan's reign is also marked with increased communication towards other countries and the end of isolation towards international politics. Her staunch actions led to immense diplomatic relations with other states, including Huawan's role in the founding of the World Forum. In her current reign she has done more diplomatic visits than her mother and grandmother combined. She also introduced the "cooperative" initiative, in which Huawan could cater to client states to become a royal dependence of The Peocracy, with Huawan providing defence, international representation and further requested agreements made, each with varying powers. Her signature "Railway Diplomacy" is famous in the region, with Huawan attaining multiple railway contracts in the region and strengthening Peonic diplomatic relations with other nations.

Locally Yan is a strong advocate for environmental protection, healthcare for all, increased sustainable industrial investments and infrastructure development. She also has remarkably increased the defence budget of Huawan, more considerable than her predecessor. Yan has also advocated for increased agricultural and fishery reforms for sustainable food development in the nation.

Yan in the 2019 World Forum General Assembly

Though in practice she was almost always the leader of the imperial government. Since the adoption of the current "ruler's edict", the Royal Peonic Imperial Government would undergo a 4 year mandatory review. An amendment by Yan in 2017 led to a 4 year mandatory neutral review of The Peony and her rule by the Imperial council of Huawan, which would apply to subsequent monarchs after her. This led to a monumental decrease of the Peonic monarch's absolute power in the Peocracy. Additionally, the amendment to the ruler's edict meant that bills proposed by the Imperial council do not need imperial stamp, but bills passed must need the royal assent from The Peony of Huawan.

Yan is the foremost representative of Huawan and pays state visits abroad and receives those to Huawan, she opens the annual session of the Imperial Council, chairs the Royal Council held during a change of Government, holds regular Information Councils with her cabinet and receives Letters of Credence of foreign ambassadors to Huawan and signs those of Huawan to foreign nations. Yan also holds the highest ranks in the three branches of the Peonic Military; this is due to the fact that she was the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and therefore she was given military command authority. Although she has relegated duties to the Imperial Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Lord-Field Marshall Roland Young.

Although her reign was mired with continuous reforms of what is commonly seen as an archaic rule of law in Huawan, Yan also advocated the abolishment of official political parties in Huawan in 2017 which shocked the international community. Yan was cited that "our officers in the people's council and the royal council must take the needs of the people they represent in utmost priority, not the needs of a non-Peonic agenda or a political interest group that may harm the very people it serves." The move was seen as a similarity with Lingxin's amendment edict which postpones the political parties of Huawan from the attempted communist and capitalist revolutions in 1973.

Yan's reign also restricts further autonomy and civil liberties that may be enjoyed by most in The South Pacific. Primarily in regards to homosexual marriage and birthright citizenship. Although her proponents state that The Peony also enacted laws that forbids the discrimination of LGBTQA+ community, she was also reportedly hesitant to provide marriage rights as well. Furthermore, Yan has continued to ban birthright citizenship in Huawan, and reformed immigration laws pertaining to it.

Yan's increased expenditures for the government also worried economists and observers alike. Fearing that the plans for growth and progress in Huawan may be going too fast for comfort.

Personal Life and Beliefs

Yan lives in the Royal Palace of Huawan and is an avid transport enthusiast, tea drinker and fashion stylist. Yan is also active and avidly popular in Stream and SinoChat. Yan is also a member of the esteemed International Medical Council. Yan is also an avid driver and has a license in commandeering a helicopter.

Yan was born to a practising Islamic family and is a practicing muslimah. However, she was famous to be secular in her outlook of religion.

In 2008, Yan was confirmed to be in a relationship with Peonic culinary artist Laslow Nguyen. The couple announced their separation on 2012.

OOC (Out of Character Information)

Personality-wise. Doctor Yan could be stern if she wishes, but more often willing for a compromise. She shows kindness to a fault especially to her friends and fellow citizens. Yet she is not very forgiving, Yan could be immensely vengeful if she wants to, she will choose her battles.

Yan is a gentle noble lady, that is opposed to war and unnecessary violence. She is very graceful and grew into a woman whose beauty is celebrated as the fairest of the empire. She is kind, with a keen mind and stands up for what she believes to be correct, regardless of the adversities.

Yan genuinely longed for her guardian, Rin. Despite being born from different mothers, they had a very close and warm relationship.

Yan is also caring of other heads of states and her own contemporaries. Even in opposites sides, she never stopped caring for her allies, but was aware that she needed to take some difficult decisions for the greater good of Huawan.

Yan has a warm, caring personality, especially towards her statesmen. Steadfastly loyal to Huawan, she readily follows the decisions of the state without a moment's hesitation. She takes her job as The Peony seriously and desires to become a proper head of state like her predecessors and current contemporaries. Much to the chagrin of Rin and her other ministers, Yan is whimsical in her duties and makes mistakes in her responsibilities.

While typically sweet, Yan can get feisty if she feels like she is being talked down to, particularly in insults. Despite her lacking skill, Yan constantly devotes time everyday to improve her skills and to be of better assistance to others.

In stark contrast to her contemporaries and her siblings, Yan is not a fighting prodigy. Though it was noted that Yan is a natural fighter, Yan does not like to take up arms. Although she did serve in the airforce for her national service. Yan feels that her knowledge and skills is her one saving grace that prevents her from being completely useless to Huawan.

Doctor Yan has supposed Schizotypical Personality Disorder. She does not appreciate previous transgressions in international politics and is swift to announce any actions that she believes might be right for her country. However, The Peony is not a government person. She provides most decisions to the state councils and the day-to-day to the Royal Premier of Huawan, which chairs the Royal Council. Nevertheless, she is considered the de-jure Head of Government with her autocratic power.

Doctor Yan has been criticized as an overly-zealous psychopathic religious dictator, with non-veto of the state council agreement for a totalitarian one-party system, abolishment of political parties and the stagnation of gay marriage legality. Something Doctor Yan amusingly laughed at, knowing there are more skeletons in other countries than her own.

Yan believes in rapid political and trade expansionism. Although she refuses to expand Peonic territories further, she believes that higher political relations and trade deals with other countries are the best way to ensure Peonic interests and position in the world. Much like the organ system in the body.

Doctor Yan hates war and military aggression and is traumatised by the Reizen war nuclear explosions. Causing Yan to push further contingency military movements, and military spending. Regardless of Yan's own sentiments, being The Peony of Huawan, she is full aware of any projects the country has undertaken, and any secrets at her disposal.
