Personality Summary:
Once a vivacious and outspoken child, Charlotte has become a more reserved and thoughtful young woman. The mistreatment of Lorenzo and the cruelty she witnessed in high society shattered her youthful naivety, awakening a fierce sense of justice. She is selective with her trust, often indignant and fiercely protective of those she cares about. Charlotte despises seeing anyone looked down upon and isn’t afraid to speak her mind when she witnesses mistreatment, though her words are always delivered with grace and eloquence.

Despite such, she retains a compassionate heart, deeply empathetic to the pain of others. Her experiences have left her yearning for connection, but she masks her vulnerability with humor and sarcasm. At times, she can be awkward and anxious, especially in social settings. Yet, mention a topic she loves, like astronomy or literature, and her dorky enthusiasm shines through, making her eyes light up with genuine joy.

Her time in isolation fostered a stubborn independence. Charlotte rarely asks for help, preferring to shoulder burdens alone. This can make her seem distant, but it is a shield she built to survive the pain of loss and betrayal. Beneath the surface, she dreams of adventure, inspired by the stories she devours and the music she composes. Though life has humbled her, Charlotte remains fiercely intelligent and well-read, with a yearning for a world where she can make a difference.

History Summary:
Lady Charlotte Vikena, fondly called "Lottie," is the only known surviving daughter of Duke Walter Vikena and Duchess Emina Vikena. Born in 1717, her arrival was bittersweet, as it came with a difficult birth that left Emina’s health permanently affected. The Vikenas, who preside over the Vermillion territory with their main estate in Veirmont, were beloved by the public. Their romance was legendary, and the anticipation for a male heir was high. However, Emina's health complications meant that Charlotte would be their only child, much to the family's and kingdom's disappointment.

Charlotte's early years were full of warmth and joy. Walter was a devoted father, taking on the role of her best friend and confidant. He made time for her despite his responsibilities, and their bond became a defining part of her happy childhood. Emina, though also loving, grew increasingly strained under the pressure of securing an heir. As Charlotte grew, she charmed those around her with her beauty and sweet disposition, easily making friends at school and excelling in music and academics.

However, the once-happy Vikena household began to fracture. King Edin Danrose, who had admired Duke Walter’s strength, became disillusioned with his declining performance and the lack of a male successor. This disappointment turned to torment, as King Edin publicly and privately humiliated the Vikenas. Emina, desperate to placate the king and salvage their standing, made secret deals that put even more strain on her marriage. Walter sought solace in alcohol, and the couple's arguments became frequent and severe, shattering the family's harmony.

The turmoil affected young Charlotte, who became increasingly troubled. She exhibited dramatic behavior, often running away or isolating herself, unable to process the intense changes in her home. Then, one fateful day, Walter whisked her away from the public eye. For an entire year, Charlotte lived in isolation with her father, and when they finally returned, Walter's mysterious death soon followed. Charlotte’s mental health deteriorated, and Emina took her to doctors, though Charlotte never regained her memories of that lost year or learned the truth of what had happened to her father. Emina’s vague explanations only added to her confusion.

Walter’s death left a void that Emina struggled to fill. Consumed by grief, she grew stricter with Charlotte, focusing all her energy on molding her daughter into a perfect lady. Her remarriage to Duke Lorenzo Vikena, a self-made man who had risen to manage Caesonia’s banks, further distanced the mother and daughter. Lorenzo, though kind-hearted, was an outsider to noble society and often the target of ridicule. He made frequent social blunders, even bringing his pet ferret to court events, which only deepened the family’s disgrace.

During her teenage years, Charlotte faced immense isolation. The Vikena name, once synonymous with honor, became a source of shame. Former friends turned their backs on her, and Charlotte was frequently mocked in high society. She struggled to find her place, humbled by the relentless judgment of those around her. Yet, she remained fiercely loyal to Lorenzo, outraged by the cruelty he endured. It was a harsh awakening to the true nature of Caesonia’s nobility.

At twenty-one, Charlotte's life took a darker turn. During a ball hosted by King Edin, Emina and Lorenzo suffered public humiliation at the hands of the king. The devastating event led Emina to take her own life, leaving Charlotte and Lorenzo shattered. The following year was a blur of grief and sorrow. Charlotte withdrew further into books and music, her only solace in a world that had become cold and unforgiving.





Have you ever been in love?
No, I fear I have not. There is a certain allure to the idea, of course—a mystery shrouded in wistful dreams. Yet, I cannot be sure if it truly exists or if it is merely the work of poets weaving enchanting tales.

What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.
Kindness, without a doubt, and a heart that remains true even amidst the cacophony of societal expectations. Oh, how I have longed to feel that I could be enough for someone to withstand the jeers of a bickering crowd.

How do you display affection? What is your love language?
I am rather fond of a warm embrace, one that lingers just long enough to make the heart feel all aflutter. There is a certain magic in feeling someone close, a reassurance that they are truly present.

Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?
Ah, yes. It was in a sunlit garden, and a young boy kissed me ever so sweetly. In my absolute shock, I ran off as if chased by wild beasts. Rather tragic, is it not? Especially considering I fancied him quite a bit.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?
I must confess, I do not. Love, I believe, requires an understanding of one’s very soul, not just the admiration of a fine smile or charming eyes. Though, I admit, the notion is terribly romantic.

What does marriage mean to you?
Marriage, I think, is rather like a beautifully bound book. It appears grand on the outside, but the true value lies in the story written within. In my world, it often seems a mere convenience or a societal expectation. Yet, I cannot help but dream of a love so profound that committing a lifetime to someone would feel like the most splendid adventure.

Are you currently crushing on anyone?
I once harbored quite the crush on Leo Smithwood in my youth. We had the most delightful adventures—at least until I ruined everything with my flighty garden mishap. It’s rather embarrassing to recount!

Do you ever consider having children in the future?
Perhaps, with the right person. The idea of having a family—one filled with warmth and laughter—does hold a certain appeal. Yet, I would need to be certain of a life filled with love and not obligation.



Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?:
Ah, a rather complicated tale, I'm afraid. My early years were filled with affection and gentle nurturing. But as my parents’ lives unraveled, so did the warmth they once provided. By the end of it all, I often felt more like a ghost haunting the corners of a fractured home.

When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?:
I would climb the tallest tree I could find, hiding among the leaves like a mischievous little monkey. From there, I could eavesdrop on all sorts of conversations, which would often make me giggle. It was my secret realm, far away from the world's troubles.

What were you like in your teenage years?:
Before my mother’s passing, I still had a spark of cheer, though I was always a touch secluded. I had a small circle of loyal friends who stuck by me, despite our family's declining reputation. But after she was gone... I suppose it felt as though a part of me left with her. I became quieter, more reserved, though I tried my best to carry on.

How close are you to your parents?:
My mother and I were once inseparable—she was my confidante and greatest friend. My father, Duke Walter, was also dear to me before he passed. Now, Lorenzo is all I have left, and I do care for him greatly. Though, truth be told, I do wish he would cease his endless attempts to appease men like King Edin and Count Calbert. It pains me to see him so diminished.

Do you have any trauma that haunts you?:
The sudden deaths of my parents weigh heavily on my heart. There are nights when memories of those dark days wrap around me like a suffocating cloak. But I must carry on, mustn’t I?

What advice would you give your younger self?:
Oh, sweet little Lottie, you should run away and keep running—at least until you find a place that feels like home. And perhaps don’t climb so many trees; you nearly broke your neck more times than I care to count.

Were you an obedient child or defiant?:
I was obedient, certainly. I dared not speak out of turn, for even a hint of disobedience would earn me harsh consequences. Lorenzo is a far gentler man, and I do sometimes wonder if I ought to finally embrace a rebellious streak. It might be rather thrilling, don’t you think?

What is your biggest regret?:
Locking myself away after my mother’s death. I lost precious friendships that I may never recover, and I fear I have condemned myself to solitude.



Describe your ideal Sunday morning:
Oh, how I adore a rainy Sunday morning spent curled up in the den. A steaming cup of tea, a hearty breakfast, and a good book are all the company I require. The sound of rain tapping against the window panes is simply enchanting.

What kind of person do you aspire to be?:
I wish to be someone who can stand tall and brave, regardless of what the world thinks. Someone who can change things for the better in this kingdom, even if it means facing down the harshest critics.

What bad habits do you have?:
I am dreadfully prone to sleeping in and eating more pastries than I should. Oh, and lying? I am positively awful at it. My face gives everything away in an instant!

If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?:
I would whisper to my mother, warning her against marrying Lorenzo—not because he is unkind, mind you, but because perhaps then we could have fled and found peace somewhere far from this kingdom’s chaos.

What is your greatest fear?:
Being utterly and completely alone. The kind of solitude that seeps into your bones and makes you forget what it feels like to be loved.

What are your pet peeves?:
Double-dipping at events. Truly, I come for the food, and that behavior is simply unsanitary! Also, passive-aggressiveness—why not be direct? We’d save so much time!

When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?:
Alone, most definitely. When someone tries to comfort me, I tend to become awkward and stiff, as if my mouth is tied shut with invisible corset strings. It’s an unfortunate trait, really.

Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?:
My tongue, of course! One look at me and you’d see I am hardly built for fisticuffs. But words? Those I can wield with a fair amount of grace.

Dislikes


Sexuality:
Bisexual

Hobbies:


Life Goals/Dreams:
Leo would like to see as much of Eromora as possible, especially the exotic kingdom of Alidasht, a land he’s yet to set foot in. He’d also like to leave his mark on history, lead a remarkable life and a lasting legacy. Right now though, he dreams of finding out what happened to his father.

Fears:
Ending up in a marriage similar to his parents, one of constant contention and misery. That responsibility will one day hold him back from enjoying life and lead him into a life of stagnation and monotony.

Personality:
On the surface Leo appears fairly shallow, he places a great deal of emphasis on wealth, status, and appearances. How others perceive not only him, but his family, matters greatly. He plays his cards close to the chest, likes collecting secrets and strategically reveals those secrets to make his time in court a bit more interesting. He likes to stir up trouble, likes for life to be entertaining, and loathes boredom. He is mindful of what he says around those higher up than he, knowing the importance of having powerful allies. Around others, he is very much extroverted, while also appreciating time alone to recharge. When it comes to commoners, servants, and those he views as beneath him, Leo is generally not one to give them the time of day.

Beneath the surface, Leo cares deeply for those close to him. Though his temper is generally mild, hearing a bad word spoken about his family or a close friend is a sure way to set him off. He lacks patience, tends to be impulsive, and has an adventurous spirit. Leo holds himself with confidence, many would also say arrogance, and he rarely lets fear or nerves hold him back from anything he wants. Ambition drives him, he strives to prove his worth, seeking out friendships, and one day even a marriage, which will better his house and social standing. He is competitive, just as headstrong as his parents, and highly opinionated. A thrill-seeker with a neverending thirst for new experience and adventure.

Current occupation:
Heir of Stravy

Any past occupations?:
None

Relatives:
Father-Duke Feralt Smithwood
Mother-Dutchess Alice Smithwood
Sister-Lady Thea Smithwood

Skills:
Hunting, tracking, good with animals, endurance, charisma

History Summary:
Leo grew up wealthy and privileged in a house of constant turmoil. The only thing his parents could seem to agree on was their mutual disdain for one another. This was a constant source of stress for young Leo and he often took comfort in spending his time exploring the outdoors or with his many pets. He was always that child that just couldn’t keep still, he needed something to do, some new place to explore. He grayed the hair of just about every tutor and teacher he had and lessons in anything that didn’t interest him were often pushed to the side for something that did. He loved being outside, climbing trees, exploring his surroundings. Leo was drawn to activities like fencing, archery, and hunting, easily bored by lessons in mathematics or literature. History only interested him when they learned of warfare and battle, or to hear of far-off lands so very different from his home.

It was his father who noticed his love of the outdoors and who, when he had the time, took his son hunting. Leo always got along better with his father, idolized him, and tended to take his side during his parent's frequent arguments. His father was often busy, doing what a young Leo could only assume was important Duke work, serving king and country, work that simply had to be great and important. He never had a strong connection with his mother, maybe there were just too many headstrong types in one house, but inside his home was always a place of conflict and the outdoors were happy and peaceful.

When he was older all he wanted to do was get away, travel as much as he could, climb mountains and explore cities far from home, see the sunrise in as many new places he could find. A new horizon always offered more excitement, more possibilities. He always knew a time would come where he’d be saddled with too many responsibilities, just as he saw his father was, and he wanted to enjoy life for as long as possible. Finding out his father had gone missing was a devastating blow, and then to have his mother almost immediately go and shack up with some former servant only salted the wound. He had a void in his life, an endless string of unanswered questions, and he was alone in his grief and confusion.

Additional History-Leo gets a sister [+]

When little Leo first found out he was getting a sibling he always assumed he was going to have a brother, and truth be told when he learned his parents had gone and had a girl he was a bit disappointed. At first. But the first time he held his baby sister and his father told him that he now had a very important job, of being a big brother, of looking out for his sister, he was thrilled. He’d never had any responsibilities before, and now he was trusted to help lookout for a whole person. Eventually, after what felt like forever, the tiny baby turned into a person and he finally had a sibling to play with, to go on adventures with, and life in the Smithwood household was a lot less lonely.

Leo never minded his sister tagging along with him, and when his parent’s constant arguments became too much he was always happy to find distractions for them both; things like hunting, horseback riding, climbing trees, or contests to see who could find the best rock. Despite his mother’s instance that many of their adventures weren’t suitable for a young lady, Leo never listened. He was always of the opinion that acting stiff and proper was all well and good for when they were at court or in the public eye, but the enjoyment of the natural world and the beauty it held was meant for anyone brave enough to seek it out.

After their father’s disappearance, Thea certainly seemed to change, but she remains one of the few people Leo doesn’t judge. Everyone grieves differently, youth is the time to figure out who you are, a little partying never hurt anyone; no matter the alleged antics of his dear sister, Leo always finds a way to excuse the behavior. At the end of the day, the first job his father ever trusted him with, to look out for his sister, remains his most important one.

Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?

“It was a mixed bag, but I never wanted for anything really. My parents always fought, and, I realize my father was not an easy man to get along with, maybe not even a good man, but he was a good father. My mother, she's a bit of a perfectionist and I am far from perfect, but I wouldn't call her nurturing or neglectful.”

When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?
“The forest, nothing more peaceful than to be alone with the world and all its wonders.”

What were you like in your teenage years?
“Rowdy. Let’s just say I got into my fair share of trouble.”

How close are you to your parents?
“Decent relationship with my father, we went hunting, he gave me advice when I needed it, but I wouldn’t call us close. I only speak with my mother when necessary, but when I must I do my best to keep a civil tongue. She is still my mother after all.”

Do you have any trauma that haunts you?
“The loss of my father, after so much time I can only assume the worst, but it’s the not knowing, the unanswered questions, that haunts me. What happened? Did he suffer? Is he alive? And just between us, did my own mother have a hand in it? She certainly didn’t grieve much, in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her happier. Wasted little time in shacking up with some servant girl. Can’t help but wonder.”

What advice would you give your younger self?
“Doesn’t matter, I wouldn’t listen.”

Were you an obedient child or defiant?
“Defiant, no quicker way to get me to do something than to tell me I can’t.”

What is your biggest regret?
“Mostly I don’t believe in regrets, but sometimes I wish I had a better, closer, relationship with parents. Both them. Maybe it would answer a few questions.”



Have you ever been in love?
“No, certainly not in the way poets describe it.”

What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.
“Someone I share common ground with, a friend. I think that matters more than love, or desire, a home should be a sanctuary, a place of peace. Can’t have that with someone you can’t stand.”

How do you display affection? What is your love language?
“Physically, or with gifts I guess. I’m no poet.”

Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?
“My very first kiss was at a ball my parents threw, a quick peck, and I believe the girl was a distant cousin. Nothing special. Now my first real kiss came later, and I guess the best word is awkward. Just a pair of kids who didn’t know what to do with our hands, or tongues, until our mothers found us and gave us both a scolding.”

Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?
“Certainly not, that’s lust, infatuation, and a bit more exciting than love if you ask me.”

What does marriage mean to you?
“It’s practical, to have two houses unite for power, wealth, status, and to bring about the next generation of nobles. Important, for society, a fine way for two families to better each other. Noble’s don’t marry for love, we have affairs for that.”

Are you currently crushing on anyone?
TBD

Do you ever consider having children in the future?
“Of course, how else would I continue my legacy, my name, my father’s name?”


Describe your ideal Sunday morning:
“Up before dawn, watching the sunrise somewhere new, maybe on a mountain top, or in the forest just before setting off for a boar hunt. Something like that.”

What kind of person do you aspire to be?
“Great. A man that history remembers, who leaves a legacy behind.”

What bad habits do you have?
“Several, where to start, my mouth gets me in trouble, my eyes get me in trouble, and despite that, I still go looking for more trouble. Got this habit of stirring people up, watching the drama, guess it makes me feel a bit at home. Chalk that one up to my childhood.”

If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?
“I’d be sure to be around the day my father disappeared.”

What is your greatest fear?
“A dull life of mediocrity for one, but worst of all to end up being the sort that marries a version of their mother. No thank you.”

What are your pet peeves?
“Anyone who chews food the way cattle do cud. And those without ambition, boring folk, and having to talk them.”

When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?
“Alone.”

Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?
“The latter is more civil, but a good fistfight is so much more fun. Guess it’s a draw.”

Life Goals/Dreams:
Just doing his best he could for everyone whom he serve.

Personality Summary:
Generally a pleasant person, John often tries to steer away from conflict and enjoys a more cordial and entertaining conversation, as long as that person maintained that same dance and be respectful to him. He had virtually no taboo topic, he’d talk about his research, his daily life or even random stuff in an often witty way and understandable to normal people. Humble yet unabashed about his upbringing and accomplishments, he would engage with anyone while still being himself, a man of commoner's upbringing, and he would not be shamed for it.

That is, in most interactions. There are certainly other people who are aware of John's more ferocious attitude, though very few could pin point to a consistent pattern. He could easily be openly threatening when he is angry, but other times with that same anger, he would back down and be dissonantly stoic. It would be difficult to actually feel it when he actually switches to his more colder more emotionless side of him. John has incredible control over his emotions, and could easily hide away what he really thought of a person and display what they wanted to see out of him: a good, kind, naive doctor.

John has a remarkable intelligence both emotional and intellectual, though the former manifested later in his life. He is able to understand layers of complexities with little time, as well as observant people astutely. His position as a fellow of the Varian Institute allowed him to interact with people from all walks of life, from the lowest of commoners to even the most powerful lady of the Varian kingdom, giving him an encyclopedia of experience when it comes to dealing with people.

John’s family history was not always poor. His family inn used to be doing relatively decently in the capital Sorian of Caesonia, attracting lodgers from all across the kingdom due to their cheap price. Some of the inn customers throughout the years left behind books that they either forgot or did not need, which would be on display in the common area of the building. That, combined with John’s unusual aptitude for critical thinking, he, despite not knowing how to read at the time, was able to form words and short somewhat-cohesive sentences just by curiously looking through pages and pages of the books on the shelves. With some proper guidance from his parents, John was able to read texts properly and write cohesively at the age of 5, as well as recount familiar stories using descriptive languages. Upon realizing their child’s curious mind and almost insatiable desire to poke things around, Laura and Frances Williamson decided that their son would be much better educated, so they spent their wealth and savings to afford a school for John. And here is a man who loves education. He took to schooling rigorously, consistently being ahead of the learning curve where the teacher often relied on to help weaker students.

John was much more passive and mild-mannered back then. But an outgoing personality, a helpful personality along with an overall non-offensive attitude earned him lots of friends, regardless of social classes. However, his time in Caesonia would come to an abrupt end by a paranoid ruler. John’s sociable personality and his education got him mingled with a fair number of aristocrats. Leaks went to king Danrose that one of his sons was befriending and often hanging out with John, a child of, according to him, ‘a scourge’. And that was it, enough reasoning to banish him and the entire family up north to the mountains.

Frances knew that if they stayed up there, they would definitely die sooner or later. So the three of them decided to make a daring crossing through the mountains to the border river with Varian. The trip across the river almost drowned the family when their boat capsized. Thankfully, border guards noticed the family in peril and rescued them, but harsh climate, rough terrain, and diseases made the initial experience a living hell for the three. But they eventually and miraculously made it to the small town of Kolonivka, where they settled down.

Having lost all belongings in the river trip, Laura and Frances were forced to do hard labour to make ends meet. Feeling great sympathy for his parent’s struggle, the then 12-year-old John too worked in the mines but managed to find a medical apprentice later with a family doctor in the town. At first, his job was merely menial labor of fetching tools, medicine, and preparing treatment, but the doctor was impressed by the young boy’s biological knowledge and sharp intuition, so she closely tutored him and allowed more increasing autonomy over the years. At a certain point, he was able to handle patients without supervision, effectively an independent general practitioner, just under another person’s name.

One day, an outbreak broke out in Kolonivka. Many townsfolk fell severely ill, including the lords in the region. Doctors and officials gathered to tackle the increasingly overwhelming cases, and John was there. His hypothesis was initially disregarded, but as solutions began to run dry, it was put to the test, and soon enough, the outbreak was quickly contained. His precise prediction of the situation earned him a glowing reputation in the town and caught the attention of the local lords, who recommended John for a membership in the Royal Institute of Science at the age of 19, carrying out medicinal commissions across the country, while at the same time, giving him more social expertise along with it. He helped Dr. Hunter handle a mass health assessment program, as well as handling several small outbreaks here and there.

However, after an expedition to the far north of Krasivaya to investigate yet another outbreak there, John's demeanour was noted to have changed. He was still mostly a friendly, kind and sociable person to everyone, but he seemed colder, more stoic and confrontational, but also more meditative. A lot of his simple living lifestyle manifested after the trip. Nobody understood exactly the reasons for the changes, but given the secrecy of the Varians behind that expedition, they knew it probably had something to do with it.

Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?
Nurtured by my parents, neglected by God’s good humor, so I guess it balances out haha.

When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?
When I was younger, I would fall into my mother’s warmth. Now? I guess any quiet place works. Preferably a clean or fresh place.

What were you like in your teenage years?
Well, uhhh…trying not to starve I guess, haha. Oh and I got a relatively comfy job later on.

How close are you to your parents?
They hugged me, they sent me to school, they worked for my sake, they saved my life. I guess we’re pretty close.

Do you have any trauma that haunts you?
The taste of metal. Sounds weird, I know. If you want something more typical, I'm not a fan of strong river currents either.

What advice would you give your younger self?
You might not believe me, but everything will be alright. Just keep hanging in there buddy.

Were you an obedient child or defiant?
O…bedient? I tend to listen to what they say, but I have never been a problem for them, so they just let me do whatever I wanted for the most part.

What is your biggest regret?
Hmmmm…not that I could think of. Mostly lessons learned.


Have you ever been in love?
I don’t think so.

What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.
Other than loyalty and kindness, I’d say being genuine. I want to accept my partner for who she is, not who she wants me to see.

How do you display affection? What is your love language?
Hmm, really depends. It's harder to heal a hurt person with a kiss, despite what fairy tales might indicate otherwise. But at the very least, don’t fake it.

Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?
Never

Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?
Is a high fever an indication that you’ll die? Probably not, and a proper checkup would help in both cases.

What does marriage mean to you?
Just a piece of paper by the kingdom, really. It means nothing much more to people who actually love.

Are you currently crushing on anyone?
…Not one that I can think of.

Do you ever consider having children in the future?
Haven’t crossed my mind, but as with the game of life:...maybe.


Describe your ideal Sunday morning:
I’d sleep in a bit, wake up later and have a cozy simple lunch in my garden, surrounded by the lush florae and the vibrant faunae.

What kind of person do you aspire to be?
Hmm…a person who’s strong enough to weather the storms of life, I’d say, without losing himself.

What bad habits do you have?
People have been saying I’m too soft on people, so I’d say so, hahaha.

If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?
Sometimes I wonder that too. The grass seems to always be greener on the other side. But at the end of the day, trading my yesterday is to wish my life away.

What is your greatest fear?
...I'd definitely say a man with an obsession, and nothing to lose. They may try some really insane nonsense. And it's the innocent people who would be dealing with its consequences.

What are your pet peeves?
Oh my journal litters with complaints. Happens a lot when you work in an important esoteric field. Listing them all out would take a while.

When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?
I kinda already answered, but usually alone in a quiet clean place. Usually.

Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?
I'm not sure. I have a pen here.

Height: 5’10 (178 cm)

Weight: 168 lbs (76 kg)

Eye Color: Greyish blue.

Hair Length/Texture: Thin and straight, falling to just above his shoulders.

Hair Color: Ashen blonde.

Skin Color: Pale.

Facial details: A barely noticable scar across his left eyebrow, though it's covered by his fringe.

Distinguishing features: A soft, youthful face, a lean and fit body, hair swept back and to the side, a piercingly cool gaze. He has another hidden scar, an old and jagged one which runs from below his left clavicle to curve around the base of his neck. He has a few other unremarkable scars.

Clothing Preferences: Tailored, stylish clothing. He has many garments, all designed to make him the most dashing gentleman in the room. Though eye catching, it is always tasteful, never ostentatious to the point of outrage. In private, he does occasionally favour comfort or practicality, but even that attire is of highest quality, as befits a royal.

---

Nicknames: Wulfy. Though he's been called so only by family members or certain acquaintances keen to annoy him.

Likes: Finery | Intelligence | Winning at various contests | Alcohol in moderation | Information | Luxuriant bathing | The scent of rain | Birds of prey | Engaging conversations

Dislikes: Buffoonery | Failure | Disloyalty | Fawning | Disrespect | Unearned victories | Incompetence | Fixing others’ mistakes | Anything lukewarm

Sexuality: Presumed heterosexual. “Presumed” because unlike his father, he is very reserved in these matters.

Hobbies: Sparring with the knights | Hunting | Falconry | Horse riding | War and strategy games | Investing | Leisurely reading | Refining his skills as a future ruler

Life Goals/Dreams: Become the King of Caesonia and ensure the kingdom’s continuing prosperity.

Personality Summary: Ambitious | Charming | Graceful | Self-assured | Cruel | Mistrustful

Outwardly personable, polite, and refined. Regardless of whether he’s truly enjoying his company, or silently suffering at his conversation partner’s idiocy, if he has reason to conceal his true feelings, the other party is unlikely to discern the difference. His barbed tongue will make its appearance against socially acceptable targets – or in private, when his vitriol is unlikely to be reported afterwards. Though sociable, there are very few people Wulfric is truly close to or whom he trusts. He’s the type to bottle up his emotions, as he is not free to express himself however he pleases. Thankfully, he has learned to channel his frustrations in a socially acceptable way, mainly through physical activity. To his enemies, he is known as a merciless, even bloodthirsty man, and so he retains a quietly fearsome reputation, though most daren’t mention it for fear of retribution.

Wulfric views other people mainly in terms of whether they can be useful to him or not. Even when he personally likes someone, he is cautious of such personal preference influencing his emotions. Granted, he is more susceptible to being biased against people he detests, but is aware of this flaw. That is why he is determined never to underestimate (or overestimate) another. Well versed in the politics of high society, it is a matter of course for him to know as much about others as is feasible. He is deeply aware of the social hierarchy and everyone’s place in it. Wulfric can make allowances for people acting outside the boundaries of their current role or status, but believes there must be a good reason for it – namely, that the result would be beneficial to him or the kingdom.

Current occupation: First Prince, The Danrose Heir Apparent

Any past occupations? Due to his interest in numbers, he’s acted as a financier in the past.

Relatives:

Father – Edin Danrose
Mother – Alibeth Danrose
Younger Brother – Auguste Alden Danrose
Younger Sister - Anastasia Danrose
Youngest Brother - Callum Alaric Danrose

Skills: Governance | Etiquette | Wielding influence | Finance | Swordsmanship

History Summary:

Wulfric Adelard Danrose was the first-born son of Edin and Alibeth Danrose. He was celebrated; as the heir apparent, his birth brought stability to his parents’ reign. His safety was of utmost importance, his development of greatest concern. He was groomed into his role as a prince since a young age. He had the best tutors instructing him, and the most loyal of servants attending to him. High expectations were placed upon him, but he fulfilled or surpassed them all. He was clever, attentive, responsible. Practically anything anyone could want in a prince.

However, besides his mother’s soft, subdued love, he lacked in affectionate relationships. Especially during his childhood, his father’s paranoia ensured that Wulfric knew not to befriend anyone. If he showed genuine regard for another person, after all, his father would warn him in private. There were even a few cases where Wulfric was prevented from any further interaction with people he was deemed to be too close to. It is likely due to this that he himself has sabotaged some of his younger brother’s friendships in the past. He has since matured past such pettiness, though he is by no means accepting of his brother’s antics.

If the young Wulfric had one blatant flaw, it was that he was quite the vicious child. This issue was not resolved for some years, as his father encouraged it. It was actually his mother who gently guided him in controlling his temperament and channeling his violent tendencies towards more…constructive pursuits. The reason he came to accept his mother’s influence over his father’s in this matter was a certain incident. It was a traumatic event which remained deeply ingrained in his memory, one which he would claim has granted him some direly needed perspective. Whatever it was that has happened has been thoroughly covered up.

It was to the relief of every of the King’s subject when Wulfric was no longer so wantonly sadistic. Servants especially were quietly grateful for the Queen’s success in tempering the young heir. Though he remained a harsh taskmaster, he became much more judicious and fairer in the application of both punishments and rewards. He also grew more discerning as to what kinds of people would earn no one’s pity even if he permitted them no mercy. Thus, the first prince has become rather favoured, and he is generally supported as the future ruler. In fact, it may be only the lack of a fiancée which prevents his early ascent to the throne. Naturally, finding an appropriate person to fill that role has become somewhat of Wulfric’s priority.

History
Did you grow up nurtured or neglected? I had all the care a prince could possibly want to. (Spoiled, yet stifled…)
When you were upset, where was your sanctuary? Many and varied. Going out for a ride. Exploring the dungeons. Finding a hiding space somewhere inside.

How close are you to your parents? I respect them, what else is there to know? (It’s complicated.)

Were you an obedient child or defiant? Defiance was rarely tolerated.

Romance
Have you ever been in love? Irrelevant. (Yes.)
What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner. Someone capable and loyal. Optimally, in possession of skills which I lack. Willing to present a united front in public, yet show enough spine to disagree with me in private.
How do you display affection? What is your love language? Voluntarily spending time with another person. Doing things with or for them. Sincere compliments.
Have you had your first kiss? What was it like? Quite some time ago, yes. It was lackluster.

What kind of person do you aspire to be? The kind who can resolve all their problems, one way or another. A powerful man who will be remembered in history as a remarkable, proficient ruler.
What bad habits do you have? I am told my vengeful nature and delight in taking apart my enemies may be concerning.
If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be? I am more interested in actively shaping the future than ruminating about pointless what ifs. The past is immutable.
What is your greatest fear? Becoming a king past my prime. Being assassinated. It would be a shame.
What are your pet peeves? Poor manners in those who should know better.
When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others? If the other in questions is someone I can lash out at without consequences, then with another. Otherwise, by myself.
Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue? Depends. I am confident in both.

Distinguishing features: Ryn’s pale neotenous face can give the impression that he is frail bodied, but his physic suggests that Ryn could hold his own in a fight if it came down to it.
Clothing Preferences: Ryn has no real preferences when it comes to his attire: he is willing to wear whatever is appropriate for the situation. Whether it be absurdly extravagant or tatterdemalion.

Personality Summary:
Ryn has made acquaintances from all walks of life throughout the years.

Though some may know Ryn differently, for the most part many consider Ryn to be an amiable, mild-mannered man; a man whose talkative nature juxtaposes his secretiveness.

Count of Erwynn (Though he still works the family buisness)

As their influence as merchants grew, their household was granted the title of nobility by the Varian monarch. Supposedly, all within the span of two generations. As the newly appointed Count Hendrix, Ryn hopes to continue strengthening his family’s standing.

Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?
*giggles* I feel I was both nurtured and neglected. Mother cared for us, I can’t say she didn’t, because she still kissed booboos when we got them, but then she’d turn around and scold us for getting those booboos. She’s a funny one, always wanting things perfect and often forgetting children are anything but. Father, he cared I guess. He liked to show it in gifts, but I feel like both of them cared more about arguing with each other and just despising each other that they often forgot we were in the room. Oops, I guess I shouldn’t have said that. Mother dearest is not going to be pleased.

When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?
Oh it was certainly when riding…horses, that is. Or even hunting with dear Leo, probably the happiest memories I have…well fuck, two questions in and I need another drink.

What were you like in your teenage years?
What do you mean? I’m still technically in my teenage years, you silly goose. Ahh what a silly question?

How close are you to your parents?
Nope. I’m done talking about them, such a dull subject and I’m not NEARLY drunk enough for this.

Do you have any trauma that haunts you?
Trauma? No, I DEFINITELY don’t have any trauma. down’s an entire glass of wine in 3 seconds

What advice would you give your younger self?
You don't have to please everyone, you're important too.

Were you an obedient child or defiant?
Unfortunately I was rather obedient as I aimed to make everyone happy. The only time I wasn't was when I'd go on adventures with Leo, those were against Mother's wishes.

What is your biggest regret?
Only regret I have is not drinking and partying sooner. Opium would have been so beneficial at times.


Have you ever been in love?
I love my brother, but definitely not in the way you mean. Figured I'd clarify that before you twisted my words, you sick bastard. In love though? Only thing I'm in love with right now is this bottle of wine you gave me.

What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.
sigh Fine. I'll be serious about this one. I want someone tall, dark, and handsome, a cold exterior who's cruel to me at first. I hate him for his cruelty, but I'm strangely drawn to him. We bicker until the tension is too much and then-pft no no, I'm sorry. This question is too ridiculous, how can I give a serious answer. Ah, that's rich.

How do you display affection? What is your love language?
Truly I don't know, I haven't figured this one out yet. Perhaps it's spending quality time with the person? Fuck, I don't know.

Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?
Oh this one's a funny story! So I was like twelve or something and truly I was just curious about kissing. So Leo and I had planned on going for a ride that day and I got to the stables first. The stable boy, a decently cute fellow a couple years older than me, was preparing my horse. So I decided to turn on all the charm, and by that I mean I shyly said hello to him then I grabbed him and kissed him. He was shocked, but he did kiss me back briefly. At least until he noticed Leo had walked in and he quickly pushed me away, apologized a few times, then took off running. I do feel bad I spooked the poor lad, but it's a fun story to tell!

Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?
Well that's just laughable!

What does marriage mean to you?
Not a whole fucking lot! It seems to be just a contract people make and they end up despising each other. I think it's rare someone gets to marry their true love. Though I guess Mother was able to on the second try…

Are you currently crushing on anyone?
No, I don't know if I'll ever truly crush on someone honestly. (open for plotting)

Do you ever consider having children in the future?
I don't know, I don't want to think about that currently.


Describe your ideal Sunday morning:
Sleeping in and forgetting the world exists.

What kind of person do you aspire to be?
Why must you ask such deep questions?

What bad habits do you have?
You know many say my partying is a bad habit, but look at the joy it brings me!

If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?
finishes the bottle of wine Mybirth….

What is your greatest fear?
Shhhh! Iiifff youuu speak ittt thennn it's reallll. Hehe.

What are your pet peeves?
I fuckingggg'ate pompous assess.

When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?
I guess…uh, sorry I don't feel too well…uh Leo of'en ge's meout ofa sour mood.

Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?
I…uh…excuse me. Blegh!

Height:
6'6

Weight:
275 lbs.

Eye Color:
blue

Hair Length/Texture:
short almost in a military type of cut, always neat and well kept.

Hair Color:
brown

Skin Color:
Tan almost bronze due to the forges fire.

Facial details(freckles, moles, etc.):
Other than bushy eyebrows and a neat, trimmed beard not much.

Distinguishing features:
Roman sports a mighty physique due to his work in the family forges, one that shows through his clothing. His hands are rough and covered in calluses with many small and large scars across his hands and arms. Roman can be imposing, intimidating, and looks like he would have no trouble holding his own in a fight.

Clothing Preferences:
Whenever he finds himself in the south which for him is everywhere south of the mountains, he wears loose but fitting clothes of blues, greens, and purples when dressing for occasions. Otherwise, he wears a plain but sturdy tan coat with nice light clothes underneath. No matter the occasion however, Roman will always be wearing some form of armor in some fashion that he either made or one of his family has made to show off the family name. the only constant between his choices of clothing is a medallion he wears around his neck with his family crest a forge and hammer with a crystal molded into its center. this crystal looks clear like glass but gives off a faint aqua glow that is almost unnoticeable.

---

Likes:
- Fire
- Making things with his hands - admiring craftsmanship of any kind
- weapon training
- good stories and food
- gazing at the heavens on a clear night
- seeing people’s reactions to his gifts

Dislikes:
- people trying to be his friend for free services
- thieves
- humid days
- people that don't know when to stop talking

Sexuality:
+Hetero

Hobbies:
> Anything to do with a forge or chisel
> Mountain climbing
> Cave delving
> Cooking
> Occasionally helping others
> Dancing, singing, and drinking

Life Goals/Dreams:
Settle down with a good woman and have lots of little ones to carry on the family business and the Ravenwood name.

Personality Summary:
Roman may be a large and intimidating man but don't let that fool you for the joyful person that lies beneath his stoic exterior. Where he is from in the north, good times are few and far in between so you celebrate when you can and work the rest of the time. Because of this he can be very boisterous when in the right mood and company, the best friend you didn't ask for, a guy that just wants everyone else to smile and have a good time. he can be a bit of a handful sometimes when he gets carried away but won’t let his pride get in the way of a quick apology or admit that he was in the wrong.

This is not to say that he can’t get angry or lose his composure, he is only human. getting him to that point is hard unless you know how to get under his skin. he has a bit of a protective streak for those he cares about and can be quick to turn to anger and violence if they are in danger.

Some people may also notice that some things go over his head. He can be a little aloof when talking about things he isn’t familiar with and can sometimes have issues noticing social ques especially related to the opposite sex. However, his not noticing things all the time can sometimes make him seem more confident in himself.

Skills:
+ Armor, weapon, and Jewelry smithing /repair /Appraisal
+ Above average strength and stamina
+ Attention to detail in his work and in people
+ Weapon Training, can’t make what you can’t wield

History Summary:
well, if you want specifics I'm always up for a beer and a story but to be short?

Life in the far north is hard and so are its people, it’s easy for someone to drunkenly wander home and never to be seen again. taken by the old gods, because of that we celebrate every little thing in this world and have many siblings. my home is the same, the Ravenwood family has many cousins, nieces, and nephews along with brothers and sisters, but I am the oldest and one of the few without a family already.

I passed our rights of passage into adult hood and focused on my trade rather than going out and finding someone to spend my life with right away like many of my siblings. we all work in some capacity at the family business, making intricate pieces of armor, weapons, and jewelry for the nobles across the continents and kingdoms. we are very well known, and we plan to keep it that way for many more generations. for that reason, we all must know what it is like to mine for your own minerals, polish and cut stones, and how to wield and wear armor. for us if you don't know how to wield a weapon or wear armor you can’t make it.

Because I have not found a mate in life my father and mother insist on sending me off to the social gatherings intent on having me wed one of the beautiful ladies of the court. at least I get to take a vacation from my craft occasionally and meet some interesting people along the way.

History
"What? history? I just told you are you deaf?... oh, you mean more questions about my history. Apologies, please continue."

Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?
"I would say a healthy amount of both, nurtured helps one to get interested in things and knowing what you’re getting into. Neglect is going to happen with a large family and on top of that one part of the northern philosophy is that all men must suffer, makes us stronger and forces us to grow."

When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?
"At the anvil, on top of a mountain, the bottom of a cave. better than the bottom of a bottle."

What were you like in your teenage years?
"Hmm, I asked a lot of questions and wanted to play with all of the shiny sharp toys."

How close are you to your parents?
"Like I said before I have a big family, but I would say recently we have grown closer since they have been dressing me up to meet someone nice."

Do you have any trauma that haunts you?
"Yes, I uhh, well, did something stupid and others suffered because of it. no, I won’t elaborate."

What advice would you give your younger self?
"In hindsight I think the silver inlay would have looked better on the kings shield rather than the gold."

Were you an obedient child or defiant?
"Well, if I have to choose obedient, one always has to be careful around a working forge."

What is your biggest regret?
"Spending more time with my siblings would have been nice but I made my decision to practice and hone my skills instead."

Romance
"That's rather personal don't you think?... kings’ orders? Fine."

Have you ever been in love? :
"Yes, her name is Sheila, and she is the best hammer I have ever worked with."

What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.:
"Uhh at this point anyone that is willing to support me and what I do, and I would do the same... I do like wide hips... I hope she is willing to have a big family."

How do you display affection? What is your love language?
"Art and being physical, I'm not the best with words but I'm good with my hands and I would likely give them gifts."

Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?
"Yeah, it was fine I guess, celebrating a nephew’s rite of passage and was making merry with a few of the local ladies."

Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?
"Yes, have you seen some of the king’s heirloom weapons and armor? now some of those pieces are works of art for the gods themselves. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some of those breastplates, pardon the blacksmith jargon."

What does marriage mean to you?
"a commitment to love one another and grow both of our families in both renown and size."

Are you currently crushing on anyone?
"I don't think I have crushed anyone lately, why has someone complained?"

"Violet Damien is particularly enchanting isn't she."

Do you ever consider having children in the future?
"Have I been talking to a brick wall? you really should be paying more attention than just reading from a script and actually listen to the people you’re talking too."

Personality
"Are you asking me about my personality or is it one of those category statements again?"

Describe your ideal Sunday morning:
"Wake up early to a hardy breakfast and stare out the window at the weather before deciding what to do for the day."

What kind of person do you aspire to be?
“An honorable, hardworking man, a good man. Like my father and his father before him.”

What bad habits do you have?
“Uhh well I tend to get a little too focused on the things im working on and can sometimes forget to take breaks… or eat… or sleep.”

If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?
“Stopping my friend from what got him killed, it was my fault really couldn’t quite get the words right.”

What is your greatest fear?
“Losing my senses, being injured to the point where I could not work… a jail cell or worse.”

What are your pet peeves?
“Carless craftsmanship, someone doubting my abilities, people putting others down for their own enjoyment, to name a few.”

When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?
“Depends on the mood but normally alone or with one or two people but not a whole crowd.”

Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?
“How would someone fight with their tongue? That sounds hard to do I don’t even know how you would exercise your tongue to get it that strong in the first place… ill stick with my fists and let Sheila do the talking.”

Some look like marks left by corporal punishment. But the largest, nastiest scars are on her abdomen and back. Based on the angle, one can surmise that the scars came from what should have been a fatal stab wound.
Clothing Preferences: As a servant who works under the Danrose family —one that the royal family may even see— there are strict protocols to what Riona can or cannot wear. Like many of the other domestic workers, Riona is often seen wearing the issued uniform: a simple, modest servant's dress that covers as much skin as possible, from neck to toe, and a brooch which signifies that the person wearing it was a property of the Danrose. When in uniform, Riona's hair is tied into a tight bun or tucked away in a mobcap. On the rare occasion that she is off duty or doing manual labor outdoors, Riona prefers to wear tunics and pants that are long enough to cover her limbs.

Likes:

• Music
• Art work
• Money
• Freedom

Dislikes:

• The Danrose bloodline, the King in particular (though the Queen is a close second)
• Uncleanliness
• Wastefulness
• Unfulfilled promises

Sexuality:
Bisexual/Demiromantic

Hobbies:

• Singing
• Dancing
• Drawing
• Crafting

Life Goals/Dreams:
To get out of her current situation and find happiness.

Personality Summary:
While on duty as a housemaid, Riona is a quiet and reserved woman. She's a conscientious worker who reliably completes what is asked of her, but beyond that, she is more or less invisible to members of the Danrose family and their guests. A living doll, whose sole purpose in life is to be at the beck and call of her betters.

Once hidden from Danroses and Danrose loyalist's eyes and ears, Riona becomes much more unruly, frank, and short-tempered. With how much she must hold herself back on a daily basis dealing with stuck-up nobles, she has little patience left to deal with others' nonsense outside of her job. Had Riona abandoned all sense of responsibility, she would have left this life for another with more freedom. But she doesn't. She can't. Not because she is loyal to the Danrose family —far from it—, but because she holds onto grudges with a vice-like grip.

History Summary:
When Riona was little, her family was killed before her very eyes. With no one else to look after her, Riona was taken in by a family acquaintance who happened to be a gardener employed by the Danroses. As she started to assist the gardener with work, she also started taking on menial tasks below stairs. This eventually led her to be officially trained and employed as a maidservant.

History Summary: Azer Danrose disdained his life for as long as he could remember. He was never good enough. In the early years he tried to be better. Find a way to live up to his brother, but as he grew, he became more bitter and jealous. After one incident, where his older brother had ruined one of his friendships, he snapped, and started a fight. A fight he was was winning until their Father came in and broke it up. Azer was beaten by his Father worse then he had before. The next day he was given to the Militery to "teach him some respect." Being only twelve at the time, made the training basically torture. He remained at the training camp for several years. Ordered that he was not to deploy until he reached the age of eighteen. Azer would fall in with some of the more seedy recruits and became a bit of a trouble maker for his Father. When he was eighteen, he was granted an Officer's Rank, mainly because he was a royal, and tasked with leading a small crusade. Something about magic users in the South. He was well liked by his foot soldiers, as he lacked the pompous attitude of the other officers. During this trip, he found a tome, and secreted it away. Some part of him wanted to use it to hurt his Father and Brother. So he learned in secret. Over the years, Azer became a good military commander, but remained a terrible prince.

❋ To have kids of her own someday
❋ To be able to have a break even for just one day


Personality Summary:
Beatrice is a woman of confidence. Since her mother Queen Rosa is a strong female inspiration for her, Beatrice has learned ever since she was young that women are just as capable of being powerful as men and do it so beautifully. She does not take crap for anyone and is not afraid to speak up her mind whenever people are being rude in general. Beatrice proudly defends her family and her people against those that speak ill against them. All in all, anyone would definitely say she is her mother's daughter.

That said, she did pick up some traits from her father as well. However stern and tough she looks on the outside, she is just as warm and bubbly on the inside especially when it comes to children. Whenever she has free time from her royal duties of being a princess, Beatrice is always seen mingling and playing with kids. As a result, she has a strong bond with the common folk of Varian and she would even help them out personally as much as she could.

However, having a break was only rare for Beatrice. She wanted to be as productive as she can be. She is so warped in the idea that she has to be the ideal daughter and princess that she would always strive to improve herself every day. She easily gets irritated when things go too slowly for her taste and also easily gets angry at herself whenever she fails at something she expects herself to be good at.

She also has a hard time opening up to people, always feeling the need to present the perfect version of herself to everyone due to being the eldest daughter of the Camilia family. She also never even tells them about her love for singing as she thinks a princess must always be studious and disciplined to distance herself from her 'creative hobbies'. She secretly wants to have one day to rest and do nothing, but her constant need of doing something has made her anxious every time she was not being productive. Maybe someday...

Background

Current occupation: Princess of the Varian Kingdom

Any past occupations?: None

Relatives:
❋ Queen Rosa Camilia -- Mother
❋ King Alexandre Camilia -- Father
❋ Prince Felix Camilia -- Brother

Skills:
❋ Weilding the rapier
❋ Singing
❋ Freerunning
❋ Feats of flexibility

History Summary:
Beatrice Camilia was the eldest daughter of the royal family of Varian. Being the firstborn thus naturally becoming the next in line for the throne, she has had a pretty pampered life. Thankfully, her parents were always there to remind her of the value of humility, especially for the noble family. It was because no matter how rich or poor someone was, all of them were equally humans and were deserving of equal respect. Beatrice had brought all the teachings her parents gave to her since she was a little girl and was grateful for having attentive parents who guided her to become a proper lady growing up.

Nice things aside, her servants did agree Beatrice was a lovable headache when she was young. She would run around the hallways from her caretakers, hide in places thus sending her designated bodyguards in a wild goose chase, and even scribbling paint on the pristine walls of her castle. That being said, she was a big sweetheart. She always greeted everyone with a bright smile, never acted like a spoiled brat (except for times she wanted to eat desserts during sleep time), and was generally kind to everyone she met.

Her whole attitude started to change when she was also a young kid and her mother Rosa showed her what it was like to be a Queen for a day. Beatrice was so inspired by her mother that she decided she wanted to be like her someday. Even while she was still young, she insisted that they started her classes on how to be a proper princess, educate her on politics and social studies, teach her swordsmanship skills, everything she needed in order for her to become the remarkable queen like her mother someday. She grew up to be the disciplined, responsible, and bright young woman that she was today. Her servants, bodyguards, and even King Alixandre did admire the young princess for becoming so brilliant, though they could not help but worry that Beatrice was too young to work herself very hard every day. The only break she had was the times when she would go out and spend time with the children of the kingdom. Still, they all simply wanted the best for her.
