Background:
Anna Prosledina-Gorsky was born on the 9th of Ziwa, 1895, in Khovrov, within the Duchy of Bloatia, Slorbo-Glormoria, to a Chevan family of hereditary Glormorian nobles. She was the youngest child and only daughter of three. Her father, Ostrov Prosledin-Gorsky, served in the Badarnik Grenadier Regiment of Slorbo-Glormoria from 1895 until 1904, when the family relocated to Illergrade after his promotion to a noble guardianship position. Her mother, Maria Prosledina-Gorsky (née Shchedrina), had worked as a weaver for the House Chatsburg since 1898, designing clothing for the royal family. Anna was captivated by her mother's work with the loom, particularly how she received punch-card designs for royal garments and created the punch cards to send back. This early exposure to mechanical programming would inspire Anna throughout her life.

As tensions rose towards the Great War in 1913, Anna's family distanced themselves from the royal circles they had once been part of, even severing ties with the House Chatsburg due to their personal aversion to war. By late 1913, Anna's parents settled in Dunsk, and Anna travelled to Sudica to begin her higher education at the Galastad Institute of Technology, studying Chemistry. She also pursued a secondary education in vocal performance and pedagogy at the Sudica Institute of the Arts.

By the end of the war and the completion of her studies in 1919, Anna received a job offer from a prominent photography studio in Skavburg, Bloatia as a photochemist. She decided to visit her family in Dunsk before starting her new role and took a steamer to a newly established Faruan port. However, upon arriving, she found no sign of her parents, as the town and surrounding region had been ravaged by civil war. Her eldest brother, Dmitry, reached out to her in Skavburg, informing her that their father had been killed in a targeted attack due to his ethnicity in early 1919, and that their mother had been severely injured. Anna traveled to Illergarde to be with her mother during her final moments in early 1920.

Devastated by the loss of her parents, Anna returned to her position as a photochemist in Skavburg. Yet, the pain of not receiving timely news about her family remained with her, driving her to study wireless telegraphy and radio communication. She pioneered several telecommunication techniques, including methods for transmitting text and images via facsimile.

Amidst the worsening political turmoil in Bloatia, Anna moved to the small town of Orshepit in East Chevan by 1925. There, she became the local photographer and radio producer, seeking a quieter life. By late 1927, Anna began looking for opportunities to apply her expertise in photographic production and telecommunications to Faruan businesses, hoping to emigrate to the Republic and capitalize on her skills.
