It was a normal morning in Agrabah's outdoor market. Venders were selling their individual wares. People were buying and watching as a fire eater performed his act. "STOP! THIEF!" Guards yelled as a young woman ran down the streets her shirt holding the bundle she had stolen. Her black hair was tied in a ponytail but one could tell that she didn't own a comb. She was wearing typical street rat clothes. Torn up pants with patches of random cloth that looked sewed together (if messily), a loose shirt that went down to her waist that was apparently holding the stolen goods, whatever they were for the day. But usually it was the same thing, food. She didn't steal anything else beyond clothes that she might need but even then she found scraps just laying in the garbage or in the street. She was even wearing a pair of dirty beaten up boots but you could tell she didn't mind. She was a skinny thing, built for the life on the run barely looking well fed as it was. But what was most curious were her pair of blue eyes that hadn't been seen in Agrabah ever. She looked behind her biting off a swear word whistling sharply as if calling for something. Then out of an alleyway came a big white tiger growling fiercely. The tiger was the girl's protector and method of a fast get away since it got big enough for her to ride the female tiger. She had saved it from a cruel circus that had come many years ago. She climbed onto the tiger clenching the fur, her legs under the belly.
"Let's get out of here!" Roslyn said as the tiger bolted off leaving the guards in the dust.
"WE'LL GET YOY SOONER OR LATER STREET RAT!" The main guard yelled and she giggles.
"Stop making promises you can't keep!" She yelled on back to them a smile on her lips as the tiger slowed down when they got far enough away. They would have their lunch there today. They sat against the wall, and Roslyn took a piece of raw meat and tossed it to the tiger taking out the bread and apples. She turns her head as she heard a clanking noise like metal hitting against metal seeing two homeless kids and she smiles breaking the bread apart and offered the pieces to the kids. They cowed away from her at first.
"Its alright. I'm not going to hurt you. Take the bread. You must be starving." She said with a kindness the kids never before got from an adult much like she guessed. She had gotten the same treatment despite the fact she was a girl and had an unusual appearance. They took the bread smiling in thanks when she heard a fan fair announcing an arrival of some sorts. She went to the crowd curious what it was seeing a beautiful girl sitting in a shade on a cart being pulled by horses.
"Another suitor for the prince." A random guy said answering her question. The prince had yet to choose a bride and from what she could understand not being able to read that much but taught herself a bit to get by that the prince had to choose before his next birthday or risk marrying the royal viser. She same the two kids as the younger one ran to the road the eldest chasing after him causing one of the horses to rear.
"Get out of the way you filthy peasant!" A man in armor demanded raising a whip and bringing it down. She caught it before it could land on the children.
"You leave them alone. They're a bunch a children." She said glaring at the guard her protective instincts having risen seeing the kids in trouble and wanting to cause the guard pain for daring to risk the children's lives. She detested people like this.
"Oh? And what's a little woman like you going to do about it?" He leered at her and she took the whip out of his grip being actually a whole lot stronger than she looked and cracked it, hitting the ground by his feet and then tossing it far away.
"That." She said with a sneer glad she caused the guard to feel the same fear the kids had felt, allowing them to escape. She was knocked onto her back as they continued a scoff from the princess.
"You are nothing but a lowly street rat. You'll die a street rat. And no one but your fleas will mourn you." She stood up dusting herself off scoffing as Xue came over to her snarling at those watching the spectacle.
"If being a princess means being as stuck up as that witch count me lucky." She said acting tough but the words had gotten to her. She wasn't just a street rat. There was a whole lot more to her than that. But people only saw what was on the outside. She walked on, getting her apples and went to her abandoned house that had a great view of the palace sighing softly. "I do wish I was a princess though. No need to run from the guards, eating what I wanted, servants. What a lovely life that would be." She said dreamily Xue having fallen asleep.
"Let's get out of here!" Roslyn said as the tiger bolted off leaving the guards in the dust.
