The Queen of Ostwall

Falor by birth, Ostwall by Marriage

Rhoslyn took after her mother in stature, her build small and delicate in comparison to her tall, broad built father. The young queen often sporting expensive jewelry as a token of the King's affections. Being queen, she wears fine clothes to suit her high station. Rhoslyn is fond of wearing flowers in her hair, the soft beauty it gives her completing her well maintained facade. Her nails and hair are immaculate. Her brown hair is neatly pulled away from her face. A soft smile is never far from Rhoslyn’s face, her tone honeyed and soft. Her presence often puts others at ease. It was her beauty that attracted the King of Ostwall.

Generally content with her life, and can often be found humming along to a tune or skipping around the castle. She tends to be rather innocence, which is rare to find for a woman her age. She’s incredibly book smart, but her knowledge in Falor politics tend to be lacking. She is quite fond of the perks that come with being Queen of Ostwall. Rhoslyn is dreamy and eccentric, not seeming to notice or care about what others think of her. She does whatever she wants, never seeming to notice the weird stares when she decides to dance barefoot in the rain or sit in a tree singing with the birds. Rhoslyn lenjoys exploring nature, fond of climbing trees and riding Zeus.

Rhoslyn is the daughter to one of Falor’s richest, and strictest, cloth merchants. Growing up she was spoiled and always had anything she wanted, having new gowns and jewelry every other day. She was the apple of her mother’s eyes and her father had big plans for her, searching for a perfect suitor for his daughter ever since she was a few months old. As a child, Rhoslyn was lively and cheerful, she loved to attract the attention, not always for all the right reasons. She was smart and could talk anyone into doing things to her likes, sometimes even her own father. A woman well known for her beauty and fashion sense. She was different since she was little, people would not only talk about her beautiful appearance and fashion choices, but also about her constant denial to be second best to any man. Her leading and sociable nature though made her loved and liked by many people, especially royals. She loved to attend balls and go out, she rule Falor’s social scene as a teenager. It was during one of these balls she attended that she met a man and fell in love. He was a few years older than her, but she did not mind. The two started seeing each other in secret and their relationship lasted for a long while.

When her father found out, he arranged a marriage for her immediately. The man she loved was an actor and her father did not approve of him, nor did he want him to take his daughter’s hand in marriage. Even though the man had proposed they eloped and ran away together, she knew she had to choose between family duty and their love. Forced by her father to give up the man she loved, only weeks later, Rhoslyn was condemned to marry a man she felt nothing for. The man who she loved traveled away on the high seas and she was left alone. Therefore she didn’t have much of a choice when she was forced to wed to the King of , in order to save her family and their name. She didn’t love him, but she at least liked him even though he was much older than her.

The true change in her life came when her son was born. It was the happiest moment of her life and she grew closer to her husband through out the pregnancy and birth. They became the ideal family. Fate however had other plans for them, and her son passed away at age three. Rhoslyn became depressed. A few months later, she discovered that she is once again with child and doesn't know how she should handle the situation.

Elroy's general appearance can be summarised rather neatly; he is a youthful, attractive boy. He is, however, a rather unimposing figure, standing at a meager 5'9 and never having quite developed a muscular build as his father had wanted. Instead, his frame is lean and well-toned, giving the impression he exercised purely for 'the look', as opposed to any legitimate intention to gain strength. His skin, too, is soft and unweathered, without a scar or rough patch to be seen. This, more than anything, highlights the sheltered and pampered life he has led, much to the irritation of his late-father and prominent figures such as 'The Count'.

Having been blessed with the good looks of his mother, Elroy has always been particularly vain and is known for setting the fashion trends at court. Indeed, his father would often chastise him for his 'womanly' devotion to his appearance and fashion. While his fashion-trends change over time, he has currently been wearing generally intricately floral patterned and colourful robes, wth his opponents quipping that if he put as much effort into the understanding of combat as he does into his own dress every day, Falor would have crushed the rebellion over a year ago.

Dusting himself off when he rises from a chair
Overly-apologetic
Clears his throat whenever he tries to be firm
Gestures while speaking - a lot
Runs his hand through his hair idly

Where his father would have had him training with the squires in the courtyard, Elroy spent his childhood among the poets and playwrights, learning the value of culture and writing. He has, as a result of this, always had a unique appreciation for history and more specifically, how he shall be remembered in history. His cynics would argue that it is this unnatural desire to be remembered well in the years after his death that influences his attitude and the decisions he makes, though none are entirely sure if there are any truths in these claims.

Elroy has always had an inherently tender and forbearing attitude. He is quick to forgive, and slow to condemn. Almost an exact opposite from his father, who sought to reinforce his ideas of a 'Kingly firmness' and decisiveness that he believed was necessary to effectively rule over a Kingdom. Elroy, however, never quite managed to understand or appreciate the views held by his father and has long since forgotten a great many of his teachings. Today, he rules with a light touch and patience, looking to make peace with his sister under any terms, with the only exemption being his refusal to give up the throne. It is his, by right. Indeed, Elroy's passionate desire for justice in all things has brought him to odds with his vassals, courtiers and advisers who would rather he turned his critical eye toward his enemies rather than those of his own kingdom.

Yet despite having a strong sense of the morally correct and a determination to see his rule mark Falor as a 'just, lawful kingdom', Elroy lacks the strength to properly act on these feelings. His kindness and tolerance is seen by many to be a weakness, if not merely a facade held by the king to hide the pushover he has become. While such claims may be untrue, it is indeed the case that Elroy is not confident enough to openly criticise his vassals (in particular, 'The Count) for any percieved wrongdoing they may make, fearing what may come if he fractures his kingdom once again. One truth that Elroy would certainly like to keep hidden is his deeply-rooted fear of combat, and the horrible injuries that are associated with it, for were those still loyal to him discover the cowardly nature of their king, it is no doubt the case that their 'unwavering' loyalty would begin to fall into question.

Born into the warm summer, Elroy's mother died in childbirth and he was raised primarily by those present in his fathers court. His father, being noncomittal and distant, was not involved in the upbringing of his only son until it was 'too late' to sculpt him into the heir he had wanted, and indeed, expected. Being raised among such individuals, Elroy has not grown up to be a king of warfare, but rather a king of words and peace. He would excel at the politics of the realm even, were he not as reluctant to involve himself as he currently is. His love for poetry and dramatic productions was inspired from his childhood experiences with such writers, and he has quite the skill for poetry, having locked himself away in his study for more hours than he cares to remember when he was a child to write poetry for budding love interests or simply for pleasure, and he continues to pursue the hobby even now in his maturity. Having been by-and-large neglected by his father, who was instead more interested in pursuing grand hunts with his retainers, Elroy has rarely left the capital city, let alone the Kingdom of Falor. This has proven to create one of his greatest challenges; overcoming naivety. Being raised among the luxurious environment of a well-protected castle in the capital city of Falor, foreign conflicts and struggles have always seemed to be so far off, and never quite 'real' to Elroy, and he is finding his sudden adjustment to being responsible for the entirety of the Kingdom of Falor to be a true struggle, now surrounding himself with advisors in order to meet the task. Naturally, however, the advisors he has surrounded himself are also from the capital, being the people he knows, and this has created a problematic imabalance among his leadership that some of his more 'old-guard' vassals are not fond of: the king appears to have ushered in a 'new generation' of young, upcoming figures who, their opponents would say, do not understand the state of the realm and the harsh realities of warfare. They believe that Elroy, and his army of advisors and courtiers, will not be able to lead Falor into the cruelty and ruthlessness that comes alongside any war. This has led to one of his most prominent nicknames, 'The Summer King', an insult whispered behind his back to insinuate weakness, a king who is only interested in the 'finer things' of life, and not a viable long-term figure to lead the nation through thick and thin.

Elroy continued to live his relatively innocent life of playing politics and attending social events with the courtiers and next generation of politicians in Falor until the death of his father not long after he turned 15. The death of his father hit him particularly hard, and though he is ashamed to admit it, not in the usual way you would expect a son to be grief-stricken over the death of their father. No, his father had never been a warm or loving individual, and instead Elroy suddenly fell into the realisation that he was the king of Falor, and it was this revelation that struck him the hardest. Unsure of how to proceed, Elroy reverted back to doing what he had always done, socialising and fraternising with the younger generations of politicians and courtiers of the realm, convincing some in the realm that he was unsuitable to lead Falor. This loss of confidence in the ability of Elroy led to the great schism in the kingdom, and the eventual civil war that exists to this day, when his sister fled the capital and declared herself the rightful queen of Falor. Though she found less support that she would have no doubt liked for her rebellion, she took with her a sizeable chunk of land through rebellious vassals who sympathised with her fight for the throne, believing that by placing her on the throne, they would undoubtedly be achieving the 'greater good' for Falor.

In the two years since, the war has reached somewhat of a stalemate. Elroy has refused suggestions by his most experienced vassals to begin an assault on the false-kingdom of Seabel, instead seeking for an end to the conflict through a diplomatic agreement that will avoid war, and spare the lives of thousands. Greatly concerned by his lack of action, an evergrowing faction of disgruntled vassals led by 'The Count' are quietly rumbling among the shadows, observing and calculating the worth of Elroy as a king at all times. Now, however, with the decennial meeting of peace upcoming, Elroy believes he has finally found his chance to sue for peace with his sister and is preparing to use all of his political might to bring about not only an end to the conflict, but an end to the war without the great loss of life, a feat that will endear him for years to come.
