Queen Heather Bogden

Queen Heather Bogden of Revitallia was the wife of Jack Bogden and the last queen of monarch-ruled Revitallia. She has fled the country with her husband following the 2010 Revitallian Revolution, along with their 15 children (she was 8 months pregnant with septuplets when the family fled). Heather promoted causes to help single mothers in the country and tried to calm her belligerent husband during times of crisis. Recovered documents show that she was experimented on as a part of Project Aphrodite: the full extent and specifics of the experiment is not known.

Early Life

Born in 1984 to a rich aristocrat as Heather Slater, she experienced a lavish childhood. Her family owned a few manors around the country and so she was always on vacation, and homeschooled as most aristocratic children were. She stayed at her father's house in Isea, a small city outside Bogdonpolis. Her 19 brothers and sisters lived there as well, and her mother had an entire floor of a wing to herself.

Heather had a close relationship with her mother, but was never very close to her father. Her father, Lord Boris Slater, had a couple of mistresses, but was officially married to Heather's mother, Diane. Diane was constantly pregnant, and had Heather in one of her first pregnancies. As a result of this, Heather grew up being in constant exposure to pregnancy, a role which she had to later fill well. After having 3 sets of triplets, 2 sets of quadruplets, and a pair of twins, Diane was in a car crash organized by anti-royal insurgents. She died when Heather was 14.

Since she was a girl, she wasn't allowed to go to college. She was betrothed to the King's son during the final days of the Vietnam War, and was witness to Queen Amy's inflation sentence: the first and the second. She swore to the King Jack on his coronation she'd bear him the most children.

Life as Queen

Following one of the largest wedding ceremonies in Revitallian history, the new queen was supposed to get pregnant quickly. She did, and during her first pregnancy her every need was attended to. Any craving or discomfort she had was immediately put to rest, and she was paraded through town once a month to show her growth. After being a month overdue, she gave birth to twins, Samuel and Adam, on March 8th, 2000. She continued life as a royal queen and mother, and then began a program to help the single mothers of Revitallia's cities. The program she established made doctor's agencies provide them with food, clothes, and basic care for no fee to the mothers. Shortly after the program was put into effect in August 2003, she gave birth to a set of triplets.

Heather dutifully served her husband in her role as queen, entertaining royal guests and being a mother to his children. She gave birth once more in December 2007, to another set of triplets. A month or two before the Revolution broke out, she announced her newest pregnancy to the nation. A week before her family was evacuated to an obscure Caribbean Island, a banquet was hosted in her honor at the royal palace. It was there she found out what her husband's plan was for them.

At some point during her time as queen, her husband purposefully exposed her to the core substance of Project Aphrodite, but it was dormant and Heather didn't know about this.

Exile

To escape the incoming rebel armies, King Jack took Heather and their children to a private island in the Caribbean. There, Heather finished her term, giving birth to septuplets two months overdue in early 2012. It was on the island that the experiment done on her kicked in. She became pregnant yet again in 2015. Following the raid on the compound in 2016, she told the Revitallian officers that she was 7 months due with triplets, while looking full term with a single child and not knowing herself.

Later that month, she was recaptured by her husband's forces, and at the compound it was revealed to her that he had run the final, largest test of his version of Project Aphrodite on her. He then strapped her to her own bed and proceeded to allow the doctors to finish the tests on her. It was only a day later when she was rescued and her husband finally captured, but she was already twice as large as she'd been the previous day.

The trial was held three months later, and she had to testify. However, at that point she was huge, beginning to rival the size of the Empress Cassandra of the original Empire. A special section of the courtroom had to be cleared for her, and the witness bench was widened and strengthened drastically for her.

Current Life

Following the trial, Heather wanted to live a life away from the public's eye while still having her children in a social environment. So she moved in to a suburb 50 miles away from New Rome, in a fairly wealthy area. While a house large enough for herself was being built, she had to deal with the confines of a normal-sized house. Within 4 months, the house was finished, and she and her family moved in.

She continued to grow, but much more slowly. At a parent meeting for her eldests' middle school, she ran into many people. Some of the men are now trying to win her over, even though she doesn't like any of them. Mostly, she is just upset and scared at the size and duration of her pregnancy, seeing as she has been pregnant for almost a year and a half and doesn't seem to be stopping soon.
