"The Empire must live, Alice. I shan't allow you to send it...no, send us to our deaths. Farewell. Though I shall miss you dearly as my sister, my duty to the Empire, what you failed to do, comes first above all else. After all, we are princesses of the realm, and this has always been our purpose for existing. Long live the Empire!"—Aurelia on her last recorded message to her sister just before embarking on the Imperial Exodus
Aurelia Maxima Ferra Ultra Albia Rosa Vera Ancoria Arzix Whiterose, better known as Empress Aurelia I, was a Ryccian royal in the Ryccian Empire shortly before the Democratic Revolution and the first monarch of the Imperial Remnant. The younger sister to Empress Alice, she was chosen as the next monarch by the Imperial Remnant as, by overthrowing the government, Alice had forfeited her right to the throne according to Remnant doctrine.
A fanatical humanocentrist like Peccatrix, Aurelia readily agreed to flee the country after the Empire's defeat at the hands of the rebels appeared certain. Upon taking the throne, she was considered to be a powerless figurehead meant to legitimize the Remnant's authority and existence. Her personal power over her reign was limited, but this reportedly did not faze her, as she considered Marcio Peccatrix a worthy leader of the Empire.

Political Involvement
In contrast to Peccatrix's almost-dictatorial powers, the Empress only exercised limited authority. Due to her status, she was one of the select few that could freely voice her criticisms of him behind close doors without suffering any retaliation. At times, she acted as one of Peccatrix's advisors if possible. Despite being able to critique and advise him in private, she never attempted to challenge his authority over the state and would almost always comply with his decisions. This was both a recognition of her ceremonial status, which impaired her politically, and her genuine show of respect towards him.
Legacy
Personal life
Despite holding a poor personal opinion of Peccatrix due to his womanizing nature, Aurelia nevertheless respected him immensely as a great statesman and managed to separate her personal reservations from her political judgement. Although never becoming friends on a personal level, both recognized the benefits of having the other as a political ally and developed a strong working relationship, something they would abide by until the end.
