The new princess was striking in her expertly tailored dress. Her bright green eyes seemed to survey everything with curiosity. After so many years away, the return of the royal family was almost hard to believe. But their presence here was undeniable. News of their arrival was sure to lift the spirits of the kingdom's people.

Leo was standing near the doorway, in her full set of formal military attire. It was a stark white uniform with many gold embellishments, including the buttons on the front and the tassels that draped from her shoulders. There was a red sash across her chest, and underneath lay some light armor. On her hip was a silver straight sword in its ornamental sheathe. She had been asked to assist the royal guard while things settled down, and she was expected to wear her best.

An officer stopped by, and whispered something in her ear before quickly departing. The woman nodded and took a few steps forward. She bowed before the others, her medium-length blonde locks falling loose beside her face.

"My queen, the palace grounds have been secured. Please enjoy the amenities with ease." As she raised her head, her keen blue eyes met those of the princess. She smiled softly, but didn't say anything out of turn.
Did I say something wrong? I just thought it was a realistic and intriguing role to add in.
It's mostly just a representation of your character's strengths. But sure, I wouldn't mind giving out another stat point at certain milestones. I don't want you guys to worry about it too much though.
Okay, interesting. I like that angle.
Of course. We are all in agreeance then. Just say she’s about 17 then (there’s no reason to keep it ambiguous out-of-character). And I’ll keep Leo at 18.

@Vampiretwilight I was wondering if you had any thoughts about my character? Or if there’s anything you’d like to me change?
That's fine with me. 18+ characters are normally preferred by me as well, but we'll have to see what they say. I'm fine with it in this case. This is like storybook fantasy, I'm certainly not looking for anything too wild.
If @Writing Novice wants to be 14 or 15, I can make Leo 17 instead. I don’t want to have to deal with an uncomfortable age difference.


Leo Clark

Age: 18
Role: One of the princess' warrior/suitors
Powers She is extremely acrobatic, and very skilled with her straight sword. She also has a special mount - a white unicorn. The unicorn is fairly intelligent, but it doesn't speak. It has minor magical powers, primarily purifying materials and healing injuries. Unicorns traditionally only allow women to ride them.

Bio: Ms. Clark was born as "Constance". However, she was fated to leave that name far behind her. Her father held an important military position, and so her family was always well-to-do, living in a nice manor staffed with servants. However, her parents were never able to conceive a son before the death of her mother - and so it seemed that their position would one day have to be filled by another family. But Leo proved to be a very energetic and tomboyish young woman, who got into all kinds of trouble during her childhood. She always admired mounted knights, and she even begged her father to train her with the sword. He was reluctant at first, but eventually the girl came to develop a real skill for dueling. By the time she was of age, she was far superior to him in one-on-one combat. She sparked the romantic interest of several men, but she turned them all away in her self-confidence.

It became clear that Leo would make a fine officer, after all, especially as she matured and became more refined in her mannerisms. She and her father came to an understanding, and it was decided that she would join the army to make a name for herself. She started as a ranking officer due to her family's influence. She's been enlisted for less than a year, but she has already received multiple promotions and commendations. In particular, she became known for driving off an enemy force under difficult conditions.

Her unit got caught up in the unexpected invasion of the town of Grasswall. Despite being vastly outnumbered, she commanded her men brilliantly. She successfully evacuated all the town's civilians, and eventually she managed to beat back the enemy force. This has earned her the title "the Hero of Grasswall". On another occasion she returned from a campaign riding on a unicorn - apparently having earned the creature's respect. This feat in itself caused quite a sensation among the nobles, and since then there always seems to be a spectacle whenever she makes public appearances.

Personality: Leo is keen and highly perceptive. She knows how to conduct herself, and she has a strong composure. However, she is a passionate person in the end. Her personal sense of justice sometimes gets the better of her duties. Sometimes she gets a wild streak, and takes time off from her office to chase her own wild fancies. But she is a courageous warrior and a loyal friend. Her heart is unstained by greed or envy; she is a model knight.
Yes indeed. Though if you are going to play the princess, I wonder who VT will play.
@Havoccultist Well, that’s alright. I actually thought your Garland-like character would have been really cool. But at any rate thanks for your interest and well-wishing.
