Donya was at one time, several smaller regions, constantly at war over territories, landmarks, and philosophyIn the north, closer to Te Nebra, several of the nations touted Entropist philosophy, while in the south, the Naturalists held sway.   Throughout all regions, slow interest in the Industrialist movement gained momentum until an all out war of belief took hold of the nation.  It was during this bout of chaos that the Titaness Queen Donya came to power.

Donya
Ethnicity: Titan
Height: 100'
Opponents: Red Sky Corporation

Lady Donya the Titaness, Queen of Cydonya, is a character who is, quite literally, larger than life.

Appearance

Donya stands about 100 feet tall, more or less (few have had the gumption to attempt to measure her). Her chief adviser, Iden Blott has equipped her with the power to change her size to appear human-sized at will, though she rarely likes to do this. She changes her hair color fairly often (the better to keep her public guessing and in awe of her) and typically keeps it in a long braid, or in an elaborate bejeweled net of finely wrought silver. She is dusky in skin tone and is extremely comely for a gigantic, intimidating woman. She dresses well, preferring clothes which are colorful and elegant. When she goes to war, she carries a spear and helm and wears a huge breastplate worked with the likeness of tigers upon it.

Personality

Donya is extremely narcissistic. She insists on her citizens dressing in black or colorless fabrics and dull jewelry so they won't outshine her. For all her eccentricity, she is a just and generous leader, though she is prone to fits of aggression and is always looking to expand her empire. She takes great pleasure from approaching human men with romantic advances: they make such hilarious faces when a ten-story woman flirts with them.

Background

Donya is from an island far to the west, where many of her Titan kind reside. Well, for her and her kin it would be an island. For most beings, it would be more like a continent. She set herself up in Theos as the owner of a shipping company, but set to work forming a network of spies and informants, selling her information and gossip to the highest bidder. When the time turned ripe during the Soapbox Riots for her to seize the town she did, as well as the other towns in the vicinity, uniting them under her firm rule and building the great city of Cydonya.
