As a young girl, there was rarely a moment where she wasn't being waited on hand and foot, from the handmaidens laying out her dress for the day, to the robotic attendants who assisted her down for meals, and even her hand-picked instructors who made certain that Audra was able to learn in as comfortable and easy an environment as possible. All was well and good until Audra grew utterly tired of having everything planned out for her on a day-to-day basis. She may have been a princess, but did that mean she wasn't allowed to enjoy herself? Much to the chagrin of her father and mother, Audra spent much of her youth sneaking out of the grounds to play with other children, enjoying the air on her skin and the ground on her feet. It was freeing in a way that she never thought possible; people had this sort of fun, this sort of excitement on the daily. After much pleading, her parents relented and Audra was allowed to spend time with other youths, under the watchful eye of guards that hovered just out of sight. It was during these play sessions where Audra's competitive side bloomed. It started friendly enough, sports and games being played among friends, and she appreciated that the other teams didn't go easy on her because of who she was; though they did come to regret it when she got upset whenever her team lost an event. It was all in good fun, though every loss was taken seriously by Audra, and every victory was celebrated. As Audra developed into womanhood, her attitude became no less competitive, a far-cry from the typical royal behavior that was once taught her by her instructors. Having experienced such fun as a youth, she wished to carry that feeling into maturity, and she did up to a point. Because of her position she was forced to spend less time engaging in sport and more time learning the way of the royal world from politics to strategies to the perfect way to greet foreign dignitaries, but inbetween her lessons Audra would often sneak off and make members of the court find her. Sometimes she would hide on the roof, others in the cellar, but upon being found she would promptly return to her lesson; nothing wrong with a spot of fun to mix things up. When it came time for Audra to marry and take over duties fully, she didn't feel pressured into choosing a husband; there was a boy she was often sweet on - not to mention the numerous suitors she happily led on time and time again, but she was utterly dismayed to learn that her marriage wouldn't be to a husband of her choosing. Though she valued being able to do things for herself and to make her own decisions, she understood that an arranged marriage would be beneficial, if not happy. She would sacrifice her happiness for her title. As the day of her wedding approached, she silently lamented the days of her youth now long gone. The marriage would have been more than just a political dealing, more than a rite of passage, for Audra, the marriage would signal the end of her semi-carefree pursuits. In truth, ever since her parents retired five cycles prior, her carefree life had all but vanished, but she still held out hope that excitement would be had. Perhaps it still would. [b]Other:[/b] Despite reluctance to sit through lessons, Audra retained a great deal of information and knowledge over the years - particularly when it came to diplomacy. Diplomacy was taught to her as one of the most important aspects of being a ruler, and though she would just as easily pick more 'aggressive' diplomatic solutions, she fully understands the importance of talking things through - or at least attempting to do so.
