Fausta Tarpeia (Fausta Tarpeia Anicia Anna Eugenia Victoria; b. 18 June 1964) is the Queen consort of Mysia and Electress consort of Nyrundy by virtue of her marriage to Michael I of Mysia. Fausta is the eldest child and daughter of Duke Constantine Tarpeius and Princess Zoe, Duchess of Haenna, and therefore an extended member of the Latin Imperial Family.

Early Life

Fausta was born on 18 June 1963 at Velia House in Castellum ab Alba to parents then Duke Constantine Tarpeius and his wife Princess Zoe, Duchess of Haenna as the couple's first child. At the time of her birth, Fausta was third in line to the Latin throne by virtue of being the daughter of a Latin princess and granddaughter of Emperor Constantine XIX Anicius; as well as the heir to the Dukedom of Haenna. She was christened at the Basilica of St. Maria Outside the Walls in Castellum by Leontius Canuleius, Patriarch of Alba. Her godparents are Diana I Anicia (her mother's sister); Leo X Claudius (Diana's husband); Cyricus Tarpeius (her father's brother); and Ascania Pollia (Cyricus' wife).

Fausta primarily resided in Castellum for her early childhood, living in Velia House until she was twelve. In 1978 her family moved out of Velia House and to the countryside to the west of Castellum and the town of Colonia Augusta. Fausta would reside at her parent's estate in Colonia Augusta until her marriage in 1985.

Education

Fausta first began her education in at the age of seven in 1970, initially delayed for currently unknown reasons. Her entire primary and secondary educations were handled by private tutors and governesses that were hired her father and later aunt, Diana Augusta, to provide lessons in maths, literature, history, and art. During interviews later in life, Fausta has said that she does not look back fondly on her education, and according to those close to her, she says that it hindered her social skills and contributed to crippling social anxiety.

After turning 18, Fausta enrolled at Galata College at the University of Haenna where her studies focused on literature. At Haenna, Fausta participated in student book clubs and ballroom dancing clubs.

Personal Life

Fausta is an avid reader, and is noted to have a personal library of over 1,000 books or manuscripts, including works such as X, Y, and Z. Though Latin is her native tongue, Fausta is multilingual and fluent in Perateian, and Arthuristian Anglic. Since her marriage to King-Elector Michael, Fausta has also become conversant in Audonian and Gariman.

Fausta is also the patron to a multitude of charitable organizations, most of which are located in Burgoy. She undertook her first Nyrund charity event with the founding of the Royal Foundation for Reading and Educational Enhancement in 1986 to support reading and education among Nyrund and Mysian boys and girls, later extending to cover all of Garima in 1996.
