He is overprotective of people that he loves and would do anything to protect them. He doesn't like seeing people he trusts being hurt. He has the most trust of Ashley and Scarlett and won't let anyone get to close to them, even if he knows better or knows hes not strong enough to win. He has an extremely powerful will for a little boy that can surprise people, but he doesn't care what others think of him. He is defiant, caring and strong, but he doesn't know how to back down on a fight once hes started. / Ashley is quiet, but intelligant. She doesn't like it when people hurt people she cares about, but she is less ruthless and more clear about what she does. She will talk out against others and is good at talking to people, but avoids it. She says little, but sometimes that is more powerful than saying alot.

History: Ashton and Ashley were found in the streets of france when they were six years olds, straving and hungry after there parents had died.

The twins were brought back with her to her home and taught how to serve and be obidient, but after living with Scarlett for a year they started to treat her more and more like there mother. They had compassion for her and she inturn felt that she could connect with the cold hearted twins. They stayed at her home with the other servants, that they made a few friends, but when Scarlett had business else where they were invited to be her personal occompanies. They followed her where every she needed to go and looked over her even if they were still young.

NarcissisticPotatos right. It's nothing that needs to be edited. It's clear that they weren't there on 'official' business because they had no one escorting them.

Lords and Ladies of the Court (A medieval politics roleplay)

In a moment of confusion Scarlett was suddenly on the dance floor with a man she couldn’t easily recognize at first. He had come to her so quickly and brought her along and before she knew it she was caught up in the graceful dancers. Her mind told her that it was a bad idea. That she was foolish, but her curiosity told her that she had to know more and her heart told her that she wanted to dance. So, she continued to dance. She was surprisingly grace on her feet for someone who dropped things so easily. She had spent hours upon hours in the ballroom with tutors, who would try and teach her every little step. She simply enjoyed the feeling and the rush of being in someone’s arms as the music carried her away from life.

She wasn’t frightened, but she wasn’t trusting of the man. Until, about half way through she felt a shift in balance between them. He came in closer and whispered in her ear. Scarlet had been foolish to think that she hadn’t been recognized by anyone here, and up until this moment she had been thinking about it. Excitement was quick to cloud her thoughts. His comment at first startled her and you could see the confusion for a split secound, but she was quick to understand. She gave a quick laugh as if it had been a joke and looked at him with her alluring gray eyes that was all you could see from her mask. She knew where ever this ended it wouldn't end well for herself.

Although he was getting to close for Scarlett’s comfort, she simply gave him what she knew he wanted to see from a ‘wolf’. She smirked, slyly, but almost flirtingly. A simple gesture could say so much. “A wolf in sheep’s clothing can’t fool everyone I see, but a lion could fool the world. Wouldn’t you agree?” It almost seemed like a riddle when she said it, but it didn’t mean anything more than it was. It was just a game, hopefully one that would give her some space so she wouldn’t have to try and smile through his close relations. If he got any closer, she might break. Now that she knew who she was dealing with she knew she couldn’t let that happen. She had to keep him fooled like everyone else with a sly smile and a few mind games. She could smell the wine on him, so it couldn't be too hard to charm him.

Queen Victoria walked to the front of the stage in the silence and took a deep breath into the microphone that was tied to her ear so that everyone could hear. Their was a crystal bowl that was transparent, so that everyone could see her hand reach in and out as the names were called one by one. The setting reminded the young queen of cattle, trapped in a fenced in area and she was the Sheppard that led them back to there deaths. There were four guards positioned around her and guards lining across the walls, so nobody could run and nobody would think about running. They wanted them to feel trapped, that’s what this day was all about. The city was dirty and run down, but it was better than the other villages. Behind the stage there was the flag of the people, a purple flag with a beautiful flower growing up from the ground, but it wasn’t how it used to be.

Now the dragons flag stood beside there flag, even higher than the peoples. It was snow white, with a dragons egg painted across it in mainly different colors to show there birth, but it was just a reminder for the people that they weren’t any closer to freedom. The queen thought about what stood behind her and how she was just as guilty, but how that guilt never affected her heart. It never made her think twice about her father’s goals or ambitions.

“Welcome. I won’t waste your time. By now, you should know how this works. Your name, among others, is in here.” The queen touched the bowl and than took her hand away placing it down in front of her dress. Her voice was unemotional, like she was reading pages of a book. She seemed unfazed by it. “I will draw the names and read them out. I ask that the names called come up to the stage without a fight. You see, we do this each year for a reason. A treaty that grants us peace in exchange for a small price. In the words of my father, ‘our peace isn't free, we paid with our children, its better than paying with all of our existences.’ You sacrifices aren’t in vain; they are what keep us, as a nation, intact. We thank you.”

Victoria shifted uncomfortably and reached her slender hand into the bowl pulling out the first name among the list and lifting it up to read. “The first of many. Alicia Mirror.”

The crowd stirred and parted as a young girl, who looked about eleven, made her way forward. She looked confused and like she might cry, but she fought against the urge of tears. Her short brown hair sway as she climbed the stairs and her simple pink dress made her look innocent. When she was standing beside the queen, staring out at the many horrified faces, the queen continued on with names being called one by one until there were at least ten children on stage. “Mercy Dracona Vail, Daman, Vanya Gwanae, Ni-“ She coughed and looked across the crowd with clear pain in her eyes as she tried to continue her sentence, but had to take a minute to breath. “Nixon Farren.” She coughed out the words as if they were acid and continued to go draw names. “Scarlett Thornhammer, Fu, Fea.” She drew names one by one, but she seemed to sad now.

She couldn’t look at the children on the stage with her, until the moment that they all stood in beside her. “We- We thank you for your Sacrifice. Ple- Please follow the guards as they escort you into dragon territory. On behalf of our people, we wish you far well.” She stammered and was quickly lead off of the stage, glancing back at her brother to say goodbye on last time, but the children were already lead away. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying not to let her mind run wild.

Next post should be up in a few minutes to continue stuff... >.o

Lords and Ladies of the Court (A medieval politics roleplay)

When Scarlet dropped her glass and the sound was exorbed in the music, she knew they would be agile to not make a scene. She had served in places like this before once or twice, before her father died. The people always had to let them know that it was there fault and take all the blame that the rich nobles wanted them to have. She watched as a boy was quick to run up and start cleaning it. He was careful to pick up the broken glass, but Scarlet was simply amazed by how fast he moved alone. She picked up one of the stray peices with her gloveless hand and looking at it bueaty for a moment. She had an odd foundness of glass, but once it was shattered, it had entire different meanings. She picked up a few more that had sputtered away on the inpact and she carefully handed them to the boy. "Thank you. You should get back to work with these cold hearted men. God knows if they have to wait for their wine." She whispered quietly into the boys ear, so that nobody would hear, but made her face sturn and solem, like she was giving a comand. She to a step away from the boy and smiled for once, an unlikely occarance for herself, but it made her look much better.

Scarlet walked from the edge of the ballroom to the edge of the dancing, having the enjoyment of watching the dancers flawless twirls and spins in large dress the whirled around with them as they went. She waited the couples with plain faces, dancing at the same pace as everyone else. They were no names to her, even if their names were probably of leaders of the lands. Her eyes caught more of the attention interesting dancers or the odder couples, people that had rings on their fingers that danced to closely to the people that were missing rings. Her curiousity was envoked, but her eyes scanned over the crowds with a level of disgust. She knew she wanted to dance, but she needed to have more trust with a partner than she was going to get. She disliked it when people touched her, but if she felt comfortable with them than prehaps she could have her desired wish. For now, she tried to find better things to do, but her eyes were captivated by the bueaty of the dancers graceful actions that slid across the room.

She was nervous, but she didn't know why. Scarlet gently bit down on her lip and touched her neck were a chocker wrapped loosly around her neck with a bueatiful transparent flower attached to it. It was the only thing of her old jewerly that she had kept on. When she touched its beaded ends, she seemed to clam herself down and relax a little bit. Or prehaps she was simply to excited over mere thoughts to know who to relax herself normally? She would never be able to tell why she was so wrapped up in all this. A 'wolf' wasn't exactly a good dance partner, especially if she was scarred of there touch as well. It shouldn't matter here, but maybe it mattered most of all. Personalities weren't as hidden as they should have been and people were quick to try and keep their titles displayed even if it meant very little.
