[quote=@lady horatio] Hello! Y'all still have room for another princess? (With a possible guest appearance from her big brother later?) I am totally coming up with this on the spot, so constructive criticism is more than welcome! I wrote a more secluded princess from a very small kingdom; they try to keep out of everybody's way and have never had much desire to expand their borders. When the invitation came, it was honestly a surprise (and was likely meant for her brother, who is not allowed to attend, as he is the only member of the family [I]physically incapable[/I] of keeping his head down).

When left to her own devices, she's often buried in thick sweaters that hide her narrow shoulders and delicate collarbones; she loves nothing more than to give the shapeless projection of a girl. When forced to dress up, she falls somewhere in the intersection between practical, occasion-appropriate, and eclectic, choosing clothes that are comfortable enough to stand around in for hours at a time and accessories that are creative, playful, sometimes hand-crafted. In public, she favors the kinds of hats, scarves, and makeup that make it hard to pick out too many of her actual features at onceโ€”her own sort of armor.[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“Ÿ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ผ๐“ธ๐“ท๐“ช๐“ต๐“ฒ๐“ฝ๐”‚[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]Paradoxically, Gen is perhaps best known for her near-total absence from social media. She leaves the endless selfies and attention-grabs to her older brother, Philip, who never met a stranger in his life and has more friends than Gen does polite acquaintances. Genevieve prefers to communicate from behind a Twitter account full of cryptic poetry and wry commentary on current events. She also maintains a Tumblr that is 90% reblogs of aesthetic photos, well-intentioned signal boosts, and yet more poetry. She is self-possessed and curious, and would never admit that part of the mystery she creates around herself is because she would far rather be misunderstood as pretentious than more correctly labeled as shy.[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“›๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ + ๐““๐“ฒ๐“ผ๐“ต๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT][b]Likes:[/b] photography; one-on-one conversations; cats; vintage clothes; collecting sea-glass [b]Dislikes:[/b] media attention; large crowds (though she will happily play wallflower to watch the goings-on, and loves to blend into places she will not be recognized); close scrutiny; any exercise that is not (limited) hiking [/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“‘๐“ฒ๐“ธ๐“ฐ๐“ป๐“ช๐“น๐“ฑ๐”‚[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]Genevieve grew up relatively unsupervised. The kingdom of Maris is a place of contradictions; so small that they don't often stand on ceremony and the noble and upper-middle classes regularly mingle, but holding tight to certain proprieties, largely for the purposes of self-protection. This means that Gen has been well-educated in court etiquette (almost all theory; little practice) and knows her keep from top to bottom, as she's always been able to wander it freely. She grew up in the shadow of an older brother she loved but didn't understand, and still wonders if his outgoing, reckless streak will make him a better ruler than she could ever beโ€”or if it will damn their country if not taken to heel.[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“•๐“’ + ๐“’๐“ธ๐“ต๐“ธ๐“ป ๐“’๐“ธ๐“ญ๐“ฎ[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]Face claim is Anna Tatton.[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“ฃ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ถ๐“ฎ ๐“ข๐“ธ๐“ท๐“ฐ[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT](optional) [url=insert here]TBD![/url] [sub][i]A Few Lyrics here[/i][/sub][/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“‘๐“ฎ๐“ฝ๐“ป๐“ธ๐“ฝ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ญ ๐“ฃ๐“ธ[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]TBD[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“ž๐“ฝ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ป[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT](add anything you want; fun aesthetic-y stuff; please use hiders for any of these, pets, fun facts, etc)[/INDENT] [/hider] [hider=Kingdom Sheet][center][h2][color=skyblue]Maris[/color][/h2] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRB5onNWsAYxJfW.jpg:large[/img] [color=skyblue][I]A picture of the keep in wintertime, before the previous generation of Anders renovated it.

Both rulers are known for their shared wisdom and desire to keep their heads down, politically speaking. (Their daughter comes by her shy reserve honestly, though they may come to regret allowing her to be quite so sheltered, especially in light of current events.)[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“š๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ญ๐“ธ๐“ถ ๐“’๐“ธ๐“ต๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ผ[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]Keeping their location in mind, the royal family has stuck to a palette of blues and graysโ€”sometimes elevated by gold or silverโ€”for generations.

Marisians are generally considered to be an odd people, so isolated and close to their court are they. Stereotypes might range anywhere from stuck-up to cowardly to almost backwards. Some might say they're stuck in the past, even though Maris is technically a "petty kingdom" that broke itself away from a tyrant's rule about four generations back and has fought to maintain their own identity ever since.[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“ก๐“ฎ๐“ฌ๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ/๐“ก๐“ฎ๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ฟ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฝ ๐“š๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ญ๐“ธ๐“ถ ๐“—๐“ฒ๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ธ๐“ป๐”‚[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]As mentioned above, Maris was once part of a larger kingdomโ€”conscripted into scuffles the people did not want to fight and finding their cliffside fortress used for tactical advantage. "Mad Prince Harry," the cause for most of the dissent, is still spoken off only in disgusted whispers, and the name "Harry" has long been out of fashion for this reason. Marisians won their independence largely by simply locking their doors and keeping out of the fray until Harry's reach eventually extended beyond his means, bringing his downfall. The remaining subjects are descendants of that first court to take a stand and the refugees that took in during that time.[/INDENT] [color=skyblue][b]๐Ÿ’Ž๐“ž๐“ฝ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ป[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]More to come as I think of it![/INDENT] [/hider] [/quote] We would be happy to have you!
