'''Beth Áine''' (born '''Wei Fen Qua'''; born 18 January 1974) is a [[Urcea|Urcean]] public official who currently serves as the [[Ministry of Administration of the Realm (Urcea)|Deputy Royal Administrator]]. Born in [[Daxia]], her conversion to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] at 15 while her family was on business in Urcea and subsequent request to be granted asylum in Urcea caused a socio-political sensation and lead to the landmark legal case ''[[Qua v. His Most Christian Majesty's Government]]'' when her father [[Chul Lung Qua]] sued the [[Government of Urcea]]. Baptized as Elizabeth, the remainder of Qua's minority was spent with state-sponsored tutors as she managed to live on her own in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], going on to attend the [[Collegium Scientificum]]. At the Collegium, she met her future husband Colus Áine, and studied political science. Following her marriage to Áine in 1997, Áine managed to use the notoriety of her case to start a political career. Serving as a member of the [[Urceopolis_(Archduchy)#Government|Royal Parliament of the Archduchy of Urceopolis]] from 2000 through 2015 as a member of the [[Commonwealth Union (Urcea)|Commonwealth Union]], Áine became associated with the policies of [[Michael Witte]] and [[Wittonian Socialism]].

Gallant became prominent within the party as being an advocate for a renewed push for what he called the "moral media", arguing that the period following the [[Occidental Cold War]] was leading to laxity in morals in Urcea and that immorality would remain an enemy even if [[Caphiria]] was not. In an unusual step, Gallant launched a nationwide speaking tour that was well received in 2014 ahead of his intended run for Censor. With [[Bridget Farrell]] retiring from the office of Censor in 2015 to run for [[Concilium Daoni]], Gallant won over a crowded field of candidates as one of the few [[Union for National Solidarity (Urcea)|Solidarity]] victories in the otherwise landslide defeats of the [[2015 Urcean elections]]. | ||
