Dominika Maya Murray (née Muverovich; born June 27th, 1970) is a Wealdenite politician and author who has served as the leader of the Unionist Party since 2023.
Early life, family, and education
Murray was born in Horich, Covantia, on June 27th, 1970, to the first chancellor of the Wealdenite Council Alexander Nikolai Muverovich and Olivia-Jane Duffy, a local lawyer and probate soilictor from Horich. Being born in a political household, Murray often found it difficult to escape political ongoings and happenings, and she rarely saw her father, so for the majority of her childhood and early teenage years, she would be living with her mother. However, Duffy died suddenly in October of 1983 after being in a car accident with Murray, who was 13 at the time, involved. Greatly affected by the sudden death of her mother, Murray became closed off and quiet, and faced additional stress when she had to consistently move around with her father.
By the time Murray was 15, her grandparents had moved back to Wealden from Great Morstaybishlia, and offered to care for and look after Murray in her later teenage years. She moved to Blackpool, in Everdane with them, where she attended Blackpool Grammar School Sixth Form studying Politics, History, and Sociology. After completing her two years in sixth form and passing all three subjects, Murray moved away to Chepstow, where she would attend a university course in Politics and International Relations.
Early career
Before her entry into politics, during her years at university, Murray became leader of Chepstow University's politics society, and she also worked for the local Unionist Party in Chepstow, becoming a campaigner, and working with local politician Iain Cromwell.
