Early Life
Sigrid’s was born to Carl and Anne Florence in Strasburg, Kingdom of Ahrana on Monday morning at 0735AST on 7 July 1988. She was born a healthy baby and was said to be a very quiet baby in the early days of her birth. Sigrid was named after the Florence Families founder, Sigrid Anne Florence I of Strasburg. The Florence Family are a Noble House of the Imperial Kingdom and can prove their descent from the Mishia Royal House of Sigrid I of Strasburg who was a daughter to a Mishia Royal Prince.
Sigrid was educated at Public School and graduated from a Public Education Institute the Strasburg Public School District. She graduated with top honors and fifth in her class over three hundred student of that year. She attended University at the Moskovo Institute after leaving High School in 2006, she would graduate in 2010 with a B.A.S in Law and Political Studies. She would join the Military to serve her compulsory time for four years as a Royal Imperial Guard in the Ahran Life Guards as Officer of the Life Brigade. She was a Lieutenant in the Life Brigade till the end of her service, after serving her four years she would leave the Military and become part of the Monarchs Military Privy Council under King Gustov XVII of Ahrana. She would serve at that post till 22 January 2016. She then left Public Service to be with her family to help Stephan with their first child.
Military Career
Sigrid served in the Royal Imperial Guard under the Ahran Life Guards Brigade as a Commissioned Royal Officer of His Majesties Imperial Guard. She would rise to the rank of Lieutenant in the Brigade and having her own Division under her Command. Sigrid would take Maternal Leave for the remainder of her Military Service and did not see any Battle Action as did none of her Brigade.
She would leave the Military in 2014 officially with a Honorable Discharge of Completion of Service to the Military Service Law. After leaving she was offered a seat on the Royal Military Privy Council by His Majesty, King Gustov XVII, personally with him asking her to serve on this post. She would serve on this post as Commissioned Officer of the Royal Imperial Guards Commander, therefore being given the Rank of General of the Imperial Guards. She served this post till the 22 January 2016 when she handed her Formal Resignation from the Privy Council. The Monarch accepted her resignation and allowed her to retire from the Military Post and keep her rank of General but not before naming her General of the Imperial Ahran Life Guards Brigade. She would leave the Public Service to help her Husband with their First child Misha.
Public Life
Sigrid would retire to the Family Home in Strasburg a small Town home in the Country away from Public eye, being a descendent and part of a Noble Family she was Privy to the Strasburg Estate but allowed the Estate to operate as a Museum and only appearing to give tours.
When the Tatani Conflict emerged Sigrid’s Family were offered Imperial Protection if requested, being only five miles from the local Imperial Guards base for the Strasburg Estate. The Guards were never requested till the conflict ended with the Revolution beginning. The Imperial Guards were and remained loyal to the Florence-Goring Family till the end. The Red Army had to fight not only the Guards by Sigrid herself as she was fighting with the Guards while protecting her Family and her House. It was said by one of the Guards,
“The General was standing in line with all of us even holding a gun. She could be seen in Combat Dress of the Life Brigade yelling for us to defend this House and this Family. When the Red Army saw that they couldn’t hit us with bullets they charged with Bayonets on their Guns. I turned to see the General for orders and she threw the rifle down and drew out her Handgun and Ceremonial Sabre giving us the Command to let them come to us and attack in close quarters. The General led the way for us and she single handedly killed at least five guys within the first Charge. Thing that was even more remarkable is that she was with child at the time and she still fought to preserve the freedom of the People!”
Sigrid was said to be the most formidable opponent to the advancing Red Army and made a reputation for herself among the Red Army’s Ranks as the bringer of Death. Her and her Husband avoided capture and ventured to the safety of the Palace with her close friend the Monarch of Ahrana, Alexsandra XII, the daughter of Gustov XVII. Due to Sigrid not being part of the Political Corruption she was given the sentence of Exile with the Monarch to the Forests of Ahrana.
When Sigrid was fighting to protect her Home and her Friend the Monarch she was with child and it was noticeable which also frightened the Red Army Troops as to how a women carrying a child be able to fight off Troops and not become weak or wounded.
After the rest of the Imperial Family and Noble Families were sent into exile in the Forests, Sigrid was part of the Exiled Imperial Guard that provided all Royal and Noble Families protection while in exile. Sigrid was even seen teaching self-defense to the Children and Women of the Royal Households as they had no teaching in.
Sigrid found was to ensure that she and the exiled Queen were kept in the loop of the Ahranaian Politics and made sure that the People were taken care of even though they held no power.
Upon returning to life in the City of Strasburg she took up the Family Estate as her Private Home had been destroyed by the Red Army in the Attack that she earned the name Bringer of Death. She fixed up the Estate and begun taking part in the Government of the 2nd Secretary General, Alexsandra M. L. Core, as Private Advisor to the Office of Secretary General. She was part of the Democratic Party of Ahrana and was one of the leading figures in that Party calling for a coalition Government.
Two weeks after being appointed as Private Advisor to the Office of Secretary General she resigned from the Democratic Party and joined the Liberation Party of Ahrana. Since joining the LPA, Sigrid has rose in Power in the Party and became the Election Nominee for Secretary General in the October Elections. Alexsandra M. L. Core resigned as General Secretary of the LPA so that Sigrid could be the Party Leader and hopefully win the Elections. Core had no intention in being re-elected again as she was just to finish the Ivanoff Term.
3rd Federal President of the Ahranaian Federation
Sigrid won the Election for Secretary General with the Majority of the votes thanks to Core who ceded all votes for her to Sigrid in order to win the Election. Along with her wining the Secretary General Elections the Liberation Party of Ahrana won a Majority of Seats in both Houses of Congress therefore making a Coalition Government not needed. However due to the past Coalition member’s stratification with the previous Government they agreed to form a Majority Coalition Government therefore ensuing both Houses with a plural Majority of the Seats.
Florence took the Oath of Office from the Palace of the Presidium and former Secretary General Core was there to hand over Power to her Officially in the Handing Over Ceremony. The entire Government has expressed joy on the era that Sigrid will usher in and hopes to see her make Cores efforts go further.
Personality Traits
Sigrid has been called a Courageous, Strong, Caring, Loving and Kind hearted person that will go out of her way to help or protect the people she cares for and loves. From an early age she was a caring person that wanted only to help everyone she could. As she grew older it became noticeable that she was able to defend herself physically and verbally if needed to do so.
She believed in the honor system and believed that a person was no one without honor and commitment to things they care for. She was honored to be in the Life Guards Brigade and on the Royal Military Privy Council and to also befriend the Grand Duchess and soon to be Queen, Alessandria. When her House came under attack she was seen on the front lines with the troops giving orders and giving her family time to escape and head for the Imperial Palace in Moskovo. Upon reaching Moskovo she oversaw the entire fortification of the Royal Palace and its Defense during the siege. When the Queen gave the order to surrender she did so out of respect to the Queen as it takes a Strong and Courageous Person to surrender to people who will most likely kill you. Through that she grew to respect the Queen even more and was more determined to keep a promise she had made with her mentor the King, To protect her even if it means to die for her.
Upon in being in Exile she taught self-defense to every child and women in exile and even taught at the School for the Children. She is very knowledgeable in the area of Martial Arts and Self-Defense thus making her very wise in certain aspects.
She is very political in all areas of the Politics of the Federation even while she was in exile she was Political. She is seen as the next great Leader of the Federation after Core and the Late King, Gustov XVII.

“During her service in the Revolution even though she was not part of the Socialist Movement she fought on to protect the People from the atrocities the Red Army were committing along with conquering land. Many Communists and Socialists will say what she did is not protecting the people but instead of a crime against the People. However I see her actions as just and a clear indication on her will to protect the people thus I award her the Hero of the Federation three times for her three acts Valor in the name of the People of the Federation!”
