One of us! One of us! LOL. Anywho, hi newbies! I'm a player in this already, but I'm also making a new royal character alongside you guys to hopefully provide a character that's not pre-established in the world yet that you guys can create some relationships with. She's going to be an Alidasht princess and I'll provide her description here: Shehzadi Ranya al Kadir is the Sultan’s veiled and sheltered youngest daughter. Publicly, she is seen as a serene, holy figure blessed by Suna and some believe she should be worshipped. Privately, however, she is spirited, mischievous, flirtatious, and much bolder than anyone knows. Only her family has ever seen her face and known it was her. In public, she always hides behind veils, screens, or palanquins. She grew up mostly within the palace walls, but she secretly sneaks out disguised as a servant. She loves to dance, explore, and enjoy small moments of freedom. Ranya’s emotions bring about strange little occurrences like candles flaring, metal humming, shadows shifting, but she pays no attention to them. Sultan Raif does not allow her to claim the throne and he has declared that any sibling who harms her will lose their claim entirely (because succession in this country isn't determined by birth order or gender, but by the current Sultan/Sultana and who they think is best fit.) He does this because she strongly resembles their deceased mother and he's afraid losing her means their mother, Esrin, will be gone from this world for good. This makes her both protected and politically risky. Her uncle and Grand Vizier, Hafiz, watches her with unusual interest, almost as if he knows more than he shows. In private, she prefers colorful, daring clothes. She enjoys singing, dancing, and teasing those around her. She has even trained in elegant rope-dart combat, approved by her father as an extra layer of protection to her. Her loyal companions are Aisha, a white tiger, and Azrael, a black jaguar. So my thoughts are that she definitely needs some siblings to bond/fight with. There's also potential of other characters from the other countries having met her when she was disguised as someone else. So there ya go! Hoping this can maybe spark some additional ideas for some people!
