Ambassador Christelle Zyryanov represents Ariddia at the United Nations, where her country maintains an embassy. Born in Cité-Belle, she has a doctorate in cultural studies from the University of Rêvane. She is neither tall nor short, with “dirty-blond”, greying hair and pale blue eyes.

She is a determined woman, who tends to be outspoken, but never loses her calm. Although in private she is friendly and relaxed, she knows how to hold her own and not back down in front of adverse delegates from foreign nations. She refers to her style as being “diplomatically firm” – or, alternately, as “politely shutting up the cons”, meaning representatives of particularly conservative nations.

For several years she had a relationship with André Blanchard, which broke up amicably when she was 40. They have a son, Colin, aged 31. Zyryanov is now married to Ambassador Christopher Rorth, the Constitutional Monarchy of Islenska's representative in the United Nations (25 years her junior). They have a son, Michael, aged 10.

Zyryanov is, officially, head of State of the Extraterritorial Sovereign Ariddian Territory. She is also a member of the Uhuhland Council, the main legislative body of the Uhuhland Union. On August 1st, 2119, she assumed Presidency of the Council for six months, and took on the title "President of Uhuhland". As President, she continued the policies of her Ariddian predecessors, and oversaw the implementation of binding social legislation throughout the Union. She became President of Uhuhland a second time in 2125, as the presidency rotated back to ESAT.

In 2123, Zyryanov became the first (and so far only) Uhuhland Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Zyryanov was the one to submit the proposal "Climate Refugee Commission" to the United Nations, and defended it through a long debate. After the proposal had been defeated, she made a speech voicing her views on the outcome, and was awarded the title of Honorary Minister of Debate, along with the Intangible Medal of Discourse, by the government of Intangelon.
