Dark Fairytale RP: [Always Open]

Meanwhile, as the worlds went on around her with their fights and dragons and warriors, the Princess lounged in the folds of a black wool blanket, tracing the lip of a gold and crimson teacup idly with a perfect porcelain fingertip. Since arriving in the grand castle of the "evil queen," as she called herself, the Princess had occupied her time in wait of developments with the Grimm brothers. After all, the queen's techniques were cruel, certainly, but they reaped results, and the Princess expected the Grimm brothers would withdraw their stories and remove their influences on the lives of her realm. Translation - far fewer husbands for her to please, which she would be nothing but thankful for.

She dipped a finger lazily inside her cup, stirring a sugar cube into the bitter concoction the queen had offered her earlier. According to the gossip of the servants, the queen had yet to kill any innocents, although they could be mistaken. In the back of her mind, the Princess had hoped that by being present and influencing the queen, her supposed "curse" on the innocents of other realms would be lifted. Still, the queen rarely acknowledged her, and she had yet to grant the Princess's request of a conversation with the brothers themselves. She suspected nothing, of course.

So the Princess acted her perfect aristocratic role on the couch, bossing around the servants who surrounded her and sucking down the kingdom's tea supplies with not a care in the world for her many concerned husbands or powerful dragons or medicine men. Perhaps she would visit the nearby wood for a stroll soon, perhaps not, but Aspen's main occupation was waiting for her future meeting with the brothers, which she was sure the queen was arranging at this very minute.

Right?

Mandie winced as she noticed more and more people entering the room, and as the density of the room increased, she backed away into a counter, which she pushed herself on top of to avoid the overwhelming crowds. She watched as noodles were passed around and opened a drawer with her toes boredly, from which she plucked (with her fingers) a few wooden spoons to cook with. One she tossed to JC, the second she chucked to Leo (it hit the puppy, unfortunately), and the last she slid along the counter to Calliope.

As Mandie worked, she caught herself murmuring along with the guitar playing outside. "She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh," she whispered, tapping a vague, off-tempo rhythm with her fingernails. Only once she realized who the source of the guitar playing was did she stop and fold her hands, lips slightly curled in disgust. So easy it was for him to irritate her now. Then again, the boisterous personalities of those around her weren't too pleasant to her, either. She propped her heels on cabinet handles and continued to watch idly.

The Poor Among Us

It is CRAZY late over here and I am far too tired to trust my writing skills, but count me in on this! I'll write a char sheet tomorrow. :) Would you prefer another scholarship kid or a rich kid?

Married at First Sight

Nicolette shuffled to the right shyly, sneaking glances at the men. Examining their faces, reading their emotions through their eyes, only heightened her anxiety, and she wrung her hands together. Finally, as the doctor opened the door, she proceeded through the door with trembling legs and saucer-sized eyes. There was no going back now, after all. And, she reasoned with herself, if the one they suggest isn't right, there's no harm done. The six weeks pass and we go on with our lives. Still, she couldn't convince herself to relax, no matter how hard she tried.

Mandie noticed Leo's glance and slinked farther away from Nate to join Leo and Calliope. "Sorry to leave you, Calliope," Mandie began. "And it's nice to meet you, sir. I'm Mandie, by the way. Would you guys like any help? I actually smuggled some baking supplies in my duffel, but those could be for now or later, whichever you two would prefer. It seems like everyone else is looking for alcohol, anyway, and I've never been its fan." She glanced over her shoulder at some of the others and pursed her lips judgmentally.

As Mandie spoke, she was not idle. She knelt down to the counter's level and opened each cabinet, examining the contents. Pretty porcelain plates and crystalline glasses lined one. Another held packaged snacks, like dried fruit and chips, in an airtight container. A third hid away canned goods, including tomato sauce, which she withdrew from the cabinet and tossed in Calliope's general direction. It was a comfort, having things to do and a given task in mind. "Chilling out" and finding things to talk about had never been her strong suit, and having a job - creating the ship's first dinner - was relieving.

Does anybody want a Fairy Godmother?
If not does anybody want a clingy infatuated Fairy stalker?

If not then The Princess @MushyKetchup will more than likely end up being Fin's Godchild (and this could well have happened more than once before with both backgrounds.)

If I didn't mention you and you like the idea let me know, I'm sure we can try and work something out.

@Tombprince

I'm cool with it if nobody else wants a fairy godmother. :)

High School Rp

I would be interested in joining if the idea develops a tad bit more (like what kind of culture the high school holds, where it is, public or private, that kind of thing). :)

@sakurasan Right, right. By the way, sorry my character despises you. I promise it's nothing personal. XD

MK

Can You Hear the Distance Calling? (Accepting)

@MushyKetchup Wait. I'm looking at your relations and... in this, does everyone know about everyone's past??? I would think my char wouldn't go around telling but I don't know if it's already out there.

@sakurasan

Yeah, that's more of what I meant. I just went back and changed them a little, since I don't know all that much about you and I'm seeing only parts of your personalities at the moment, but that was more of a starting place. :)

The Princess

---

This is her normal, unchanged form, which she can alter at any time.

---

Appearance: The two words that could be used to describe her unchanged form are "delicate" and "beautiful." She keeps these qualities consistent through most of her forms, since she typically plays various "daughters" of her father, the king. Her typical height is around 5'4", and her skin is a rosy porcelain, sometimes dotted with freckles but usually not. She has more strength in her arms than is apparent due to plenty of needlepoint, medicinal work, and other tasks involving her hands. Her eyes are naturally green, but she usually makes them a deep blue when she shifts. Her natural hair is rather short, as despite this conflicts with typical female hairstyles, she finds it easier to manage at that length. However, when she shifts, her hair is usually to the small of her back, since this is what most suitors prefer.

Name: Prefers to be called "Aspen," but has no official name

Nickname/other name known by: The Princess

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Relationship Status: Married off to far more unsatisfying men than she would like, so looking for true romance

Race/Species: Shapeshifter, typically appears as human

Personality: Aspen is the princess one always finds in the stories. Her personality usually remains the same through her transformations as a shapeshifter, though as time goes on, her quirks alter; sometimes, she finds herself unable to do anything but cry (The Golden Goose); other times, she wants nothing more than to dance (The Twelve Dancing Princesses). However, she is consistently a naive, free girl willing to do anything to satisfy her itches. Although she appears delicate and flimsy, when put into a tough place, she holds great strength and can push through the trying times if she puts her mind to it (which she had to do in The Goose Girl). Still, she is no warrior, and if put in an actual duel, she breaks from anxiety far before wielding a sword.

Strengths: She offers fantastic emotional counsel, as she has been put in plenty of situations, ranging from mortally dangerous to plain strange. She is wonderful at most of the "girl" things like needlepoint and fashion, but is also a good negotiator and works out disagreements from an optimistic point of view. She is good behind-the-scenes in duels, working with herbs and medicines and smoothing the frazzled nerves of warriors. And, most obviously, she can shape-shift to nearly any form.

Weaknesses: Although she plays a key role behind the curtain when fights occur, she is flimsy as a feather when handed a sword herself. Even if she chooses a form with great physical strength, she lacks the knowledge and training to hold herself up against an opponent. She is also far too naive for her own good and can find the nice parts of everyone, leading her to be easily-tricked and too forgiving for her own safety.

Likes and hates: She adores romance. She is also somewhat intrigued by medicine, although not enough to pursue it full-time (not that she could as a princess, of course). She admires those with cunning, creativity, and intelligence. Her likes and dislikes vary wildly with time. She dislikes those who are outwardly cocky or rude. She's also mildly irritated by homely people, though she can't tell why.

Skills: As mentioned before, she enjoys working with medicine and offers fine counsel and mediation in a fight. She is a shape-shifter and changes herself to fit with the many story lines she is a part of.

Weapon/Items: One underestimates just how much a corset and several skirts can hold, especially after she added her own pockets to them for convenience. She frequently carries a few bottles of everyday medicine, along with a journal, a quill and inkwell (the latter of which is wrapped in thick, waxy paper), a kerchief, and a hand mirror.

Powers/Abilities: For the ump-teenth time, she can shapeshift.

History/Biography: Aspen was born on a crisp, snowy morning to a rich king and queen, both of whom were of perfect breeding, perfect taste, and and near-perfect political prowess. They governed a fine kingdom neighboring the evil queen's, and the lands her parents controlled were revered for their kind and charismatic peoples. The country also had a reputation for its strange policies, though, most of which involved marrying a daughter as a prize. And that is where her struggles began.
Aspen had grown tired of being married off over and over. The mad scramble to shape shift and visit her many husbands without any of their suspicions being raised grew harder and harder as her father kept adding policies and inventing daughters for her to act as. She blamed the Grimm brothers for this, having heard a bit of gossip about their power to influence life stories, and traveled to the evil queen. There, she begged the woman to let her know when and if the brothers were caught, so she could perhaps meet them, explain her plight, and request their elimination of some of the stories to reduce the immense stress that had been placed on her head. She returned home soon after. However, upon discovering the queen's announcement to kill mortals, she returned to the queen's kingdom, partially to meet the brothers, partially to stay on the queen's good side (she didn't want to be one of the innocents who died), and partially to influence her to do away with the curse. She doesn't quite oppose the queen, but she doesn't exactly support her, either. Because of her closeness to the queen, some believe she is the queen's daughter, making opinions of her skewed.

Other Information: None to be thought of at the moment. Feel free to request it.
