Ceisivey of Janviera (Ceisivia; March 831-2 August 855) was Duchess of Theebo as the first wife of Miro III, Duke of Theebo. She was also mother of Orajta, future Queen of Sayamati.

Family
Born in Missie Mansion, Janviera in 831, Ceisivey's birth month was march according to celebration recorded in Janvierese chronicle, but the accurate date was unknown. She was the eighth of ten children of Henther IV, Duke of Janviera and Felisa de Bruence. Her mother Felisa was from one of the most wealthy noble families in Hsindra, and grandmother Madame Dulêce once held a very prominent position in Hsindran court, who was referred to as "invisible queen" in Hsindra.

Her two brothers Henther and Alan will became Duke of Janviera in succession, and the latter's granddaughter will be named after Ceisivey, then married Emperor Kanaunt II as his second wife. Among her sisters, 4 grew up: Cléote, Duchess of Hullijeau; Madhri-Fèlisse, Countess of Jeesa; Manarella Fèlisse, nun; and Mosache, Countess of Forle. Mosache was once a possible bride to marry Fabio III who lost his first wife Cleotia of Bekinla, and Felisa made attempts to made her daughter Queen of Hsindra through the influence left by her deceased mother, but failed in the end with Fabio III marrying Princess Renée of Eadien.

Life
Ceisivey's parents tried to make her Queen of Sayamati by betrothing her to Lebinande I, King of Sayamti. King's mother Theona almost agreed this, nevertheless, the king himself was not willing to get married. Although there were several rounds of negotiations, the king refused every time. Theona wanted Ceisivey to be her daughter-in-law as she coveted dowry promised by Henther IV and Felisa and saw the possibility of strengthen the relationship with Eadien empire by marriage with a Janvierese princess; besides, her close relationship with Felisa's mother made Theona wanted to promote this marriage to some extent.

As there's no possibility of marriage between Lebinande I and Ceisivey, Theona suggested that let her youngest son Miro III, Duke of Theebo, marry Ceisivey, which dissatisfied the duke and duchess on the grounds of small possibility of Miro becoming the king who had two elder brother Lebinande I and Isacca (future Isacca I); in fact, among three brothers, only Miro III hadn't become the king. The attempt of marriage between Ceisivey and Isacca made by the duke and duchess fell into failure, because for Isacca's future wife, Theona favored her niece Atula of Mohal, and Isacca himself was willing to marry Atula more.

On 26 November 850, Ceisivey married Miro III. Due to discontent of the duke and duchess, Ceisivey's dowry was reduced, resulting in some unhappiness, but in Emperor Reramonsi I's reconceiliation, this marriage was made fluently. Seven years older than her husband, Ceisivey, who became Duchess of Theebo, left no record about her relationship with her husband. This couple had 2 children: Orajta, Queen of Sayamati and Joan Isacca, Duke of Theebo. These two children almost never felt mother's love, as Ceisivey died at their young age and they were raised by grandmother Theona in most of time.

Holding a prominent position in Sayamatian court, Ceisivey was the second only after Queen mother Theona among ladies of this kingdom, because both King Lebinande I and Isacca didn't get married yet. When Ceisivey was pregnant, her mother and brother reportly held an evil sacrificial ceremony to pray a son for Ceisivey and curse Lebinande I and Isacca to die with no heir. They expected Ceisivey can become king's mother one day. In fact, when Queen mother Theona was tend to retire from the palace, Ceisivey enjoyed the status as queen, while many nobles considered that she was very close to the position of queen.

Although in this situation, Ceisivey still didn't like Sayamatian court with strict rules; instead, she was willing to spend her time in Theebo, where she can be free and without any restrains. The duchess had made some contributions to the court of Theebo, who let it free from Sayamatian-style solemnity. Many people held the opinion that because of her advantage in age, the duchess can dominate her husband in Theebo and transformed the court according to her taste, where she was the ruler, while in Sayamatian court, she had to be submissive to some people.

Ceisivey died in 855 after giving birth to her son Joan Isacca. She had neither chance to be the queen, nor king's mother, However, her daughter Orajta will marry King Isacca I (also Orajta's uncle), and gave birth to Joan II. Her great-grandson Lebinande will succeeded the throne after Joan II died with no heir. Therefore, through her children, Ceisivey was the ancestor of all Sayamatian monarchs since Joan II.
