Line 29:
Marie Brianna entered the House of Vasa as the eldest child of the three, with her younger brothers [[Andrey Vasa]] and [[Edward I Vasa]]. she, by virtue of being the daughter of Empress Emily of Oxeria, was styled at birth Princess Marie Brianna Augusta Louise of Nira and of Sorrel, which she carried until the end of the Saro-Oxerian Union. During the Union, Marie Brianna was traditionally seen as a mediator between the Oxerian and Sarovian nationalists, which affectionally called her "the Good Princess". However, Marie Brianna had a mean temper sometimes and would be terribly offensive to the characteristic Oxerian laziness, which would cause the nationalists great fear should she be their sovereign. Due to this, [[William I Vasa]] would invest Andrey as the Prince of Kiev, which put her after her younger brother in the line of the succession.
 
Marie Brianna was, all things considered, a decent soldier but a poor visionary. Critics of her before and during her reign said she was dull, easily manipulated and un-opinionated, which allowed her to be swayed relatively easy. This led to her becoming friends with some unpopular of groups within the Sarovian court. In an attempt to remedy this, William arranged the marriage of his daughter with the upstart, hotheaded [[Jacob I of Sacro]], to bring peace between their two countries. Brianna disliked her husband but worked faithfully for him in Sarovia and in Sacro. Just prior to when her father was declared dead by Parliament, he chose her youngest brother Edward to take the crown due to the fear of Jacob being King-Consort of New Sarovia. Likewise, William on the specific request of his deceased uncle [[Constantine VI & I Vasa]] gave the throne of the Grand Kingdom of the State to Andrey Vasa's underage son [[Francis I Vasa-Nassau | Frederick Constans Francis Hanke]], despite the laws entertwining the State to the Sarovian throne, which left Brianna with no prospect of a title in her own right. However, when Edward I was forced to abdicate, he declared his abdication so that his eldest sister may reign, throwing everything into Marie Brianna's hands.
