From learning how to control and nurture her magical abilities to discovering how to grow plants without magic, Laurelin has dedicated herself to the practice. She is currently able to manipulate a plant’s growth rate and its physical properties with ease. However, despite the large amount of effort, Laurelin is still unable to spontaneously generate plants. She hopes finding her destined will be able to give her enough strength to finally discover all possibilities of her magical gift. [/indent] [color=73FF9C][b][u]In-Depth Appearance[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Coming to a height of 5’11, Laurelin is relatively tall for her age and has a slender build of only 135 pounds. She has the same strange silver-white hair as her brother and it extends past her stomach when it’s not wrapped up in one of her mother’s favorite hairstyles. Thanks to the status of her blood, Laurelin’s hair is typically braided and elegantly wrapped in some form of a bun. Laurelin also posses high cheekbones and unique sharp blue eyes, and is often described as beautiful and alluring. Of course, she could hardly care about the opinions of others. If it were up to Laurelin, she would walk around the castle in trousers with her hair hanging freely. Unfortunately, being the princess of Orewyn and the daughter of her mother requires a more distinguished and respectful presentation. Similar to her hair, Laurelin is required to wear elegant articles of clothing, meaning dresses, dresses, and more dresses!

The thought of losing him is almost too unbearable in itself.[/indent] [color=73FF9C][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Laurelin Costain is princess of the kingdom of Orewyn and heir to the throne. People across the kingdom are praying for the day she will take the throne and become queen in hopes that she will one day bring the kingdom back to its original glory. The citizens are expecting their leader to be charismatic, responsible, intelligent, powerful, kind, loyal, and dedicated to making the kingdom a better tomorrow. If only they actually met their future queen… Laurelin Costain may be the crown princess, but she is far from ready to inherit all of Orewyn. Rebellious to the very core, Laurelin has an extreme difficulty listening to any rule, at least without keeping her mouth closed. As such, Laurelin has an incredible habit of getting into trouble, especially from her mother. Whether it be escaping the castle to collect rare herbs or simply ‘forgetting’ to attend various events where her presence is required, Laurelin has been confined to her chambers more times than her brother has been complemented on his mature behavior. Laurelin just likes to speak her mind, and the way she sees it, people simply just hate hearing the truth. Unless Laurelin is faking it, she’s never been able to make friends with anyone, with the exception of her brother. Where Lukas succeeds in social skills, Laurelin has always been the fighter. She stands up for what she believes, damning the consequences. Once she makes her mind on something, it’s difficult to stop her, even if she knows she’s doomed to fail. Laurelin is also hardworking and extremely stubborn, traits she is quite proud of. Should things ever get physical in a confrontation, she isn’t afraid to back down. While she’s relatively weak in physical strength, Laurelin’s greatest strength is her ability to never hold back. While Laurelin is quite the aftertaste, she does recognize the sense of responsibility and duty. When things come down to the line, Laurelin will be there to support her family and the kingdom of Orewyn. She might hate every second of it and complain the entire time, but she will be there. Now, that doesn’t mean Laurelin will comply everytime, because, she won’t. Unless she deems it absolutely necessary or she’s in a good mood, Laurelin will most likely avoid it altogether and hide away in her garden. [/indent] [color=73FF9C][b][u]Background[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Born as the eldest child from the ruling family of Orewyn, Laurelin grew up in a constantly evolving and unstable environment. Before she could even talk, Laurelin has had the future of the kingdom hanging over her shoulders. Unlike other children her age, she was overwhelmed with her studies and the responsibilities that came with being royal. Everything was almost too much for Laurelin, and the only reason she got through the stress was because of her twin brother, Lukas Costain. Whenever they could, the two would sneak away from their responsibilities to play games and simply relax. With Lukas, she didn’t have to worry about being the future queen of Orewyn but could just be herself. Laurelin thanked the gods every day for the blessing of her brother. There was no one else in existence she’d rather spend her time with than Lukas. He meant everything to her. As the expectations of being crown princess grew, Laurelin began to hate the position altogether. She started to act out, ignoring her studies and even lashing out at her mother and father in public. Thanks to the tight influence Queen Brona has on the kingdom, very few people have learned of the disrespectful behavior Laurelin possess, but those who know her personally are more than aware of her moody outbursts and snarky comments about existence. Laurelin hated what others described as her ‘birthright’ and the only place she felt truly at ease was in her garden. Laurelin enjoys plants far more than she does socializing with people. Something about being in nature is sacred and she could feel it bring her closer to the gods. While one might not expect it at first, Laurelin is really religious and takes extra measures to pray and show respect to them. She has complete faith in the destined and while she doesn’t think anyone could possibly lover her, she believes the gods will help her in discovering her destined. When Lukas and Laurelin were thirteen years of age, life within the castle became even more overwhelming. A neighboring kingdom by the name of Galinas took interest in a piece of land that was full of valuable resources, land Orewyn also had its eyes on. After four long years of fighting and negotiation between rulers, the kingdoms finally reached an agreement and divided the land amongst the two, greatly favoring Galinas. The war took a toll on both the kingdom and the royal family behind it. Laurelin’s distaste for royalty grew even more and she began to distance herself from her parents and little sister, Auley. With the kingdom badly damaged, the queen made the ultimate decision to rob the peasants of their money by raising taxes. The peasants grew enraged by this decision, and even more pressure was placed upon Laurelin to set things right when she became queen. Laurelin feels quite troubled and distressed as the days of being queen become closer. If it were up to her, she would give this position to her brother, someone who deserves it far more than her. Regardless, Laurelin hopes to forget all of her troubles as the festival of destiny begins and simply focus on finding her destined.
