Lily Alana-Kaiwi

Her home city is known for being a cesspool of tension and hopelessness, her ancestors were descended from slaves brought to the city from the south of Nostrora, she saw numerous riots between the old Longinian residents and the numerous newer residents from the south. Her parents taught here that change can be done through peace and negotiation. But her friends quickly became wrapped up with a local group of Councialist Radicals. Before she knew it, she was involved in it too.

Her stint in the group ended before she knew, they were raided by the local police force and she was put in custody. Her parents refused to bail her out and what she saw inside changed her.

When she left after 2 days (there wasn’t much in the way of real evidence) she poured herself into work and but when it came time to apply for the Empires many universities. She was rejected, the prevailing reason was the fear of here past ties to Councilists, a banned group in the Empire. She didn’t take it well, her dream from childhood was to become a member of the Assembly, but it seemed that dream was over.

She was working the Unabé records department when the Lord Speaker came into the building to request a document. Alana-Kaiwi was assigned to aid him, and the Lord Speaker impressed with her talent and charisma offered her a job within the Lord Speaker's office. She rose through the ranks, not unlike Lord Speaker Liang. Eventually when the previous Vice Speaker retired, she was tapped for the job. She was confirmed by Emperor Merode shortly after his election.

As Vice Speaker she is seen as the next in line, and much like her predecessor is more than willing to bend the oath in order to push forward the Empire. In 2207, she became Lady Speaker after the Lord Speaker retired from his position.
