But with auburn hair like this:
Age: 21
[bSex:[/b] Female
Date of Birth: March 15, 457
Home: Nation of Valkyom. Her family has been rulers of the nation for many generations. The people have found themselves in good standing as a nation and the rulers a history of being just and fair. Even in times of struggle the royal family has always done what they can to help rally around and protect its people. Because of this the nation has a deep love of the royal family and of course, the royal children. Each birth was marked by great celebration.
The announcement of the Princess’ marriage was a joyous one until the nation learned that there were five potential grooms and none of which were known. This caused an outpouring of concern that turned into rioting. While the King understood the people’s admiration he could not have such chaos and the riot was calmed after a day. The Princess was much distressed that her people were upset and did what she could to explain to them that her marriage would mean great things for the nation. Since her statement was read the plans for the arrival of the grooms and subsequent marriage have gone very smoothly. The nation has come together to give the soon to arrive grooms a warm welcome and the Princess a celebration that will not be rivalled for generations.
Hair: Auburn. Like her Grandmother. Long with a slight wave to it when left unpinned. Often it is elaborately pinned back and away from her face. Both of her parents have a warm brown hue for their hair, her brothers the same but
Eyes: Very blue. A trait of her father’s side of the family. From her mother however she inherited long dark lashes that simply add to the colour of her eyes.
Race: Human though given some of her features it is said that there is elven blood in her history. Those that keep records will tell you that five generations back the King took a high elven princess as his Queen. The angle of Reyna’s cheekbones as well as other subtle features, her long fingers and slender limbs give sign of her heritage.
Physical Description:
Height-5’6
Weight-118 lbs
Frame/Build-Reyna has a small frame with slim hips and narrow waist. Her arms and legs are long. Her neck graceful and her posture perfect. She does not carry herself as if she is small or fragile, on the contrary she is extremely graceful and elegant. Her steps are always sure and precise. Her fingers are long and elegant, matching the rest of her frame. Although she is slim Reyna is perfectly proportioned. Her slender shoulders taper to a slim bust and narrow waist gives way to a slight curve of her hips.
Complexion-Reyna does not bear the pallid pale skin of one stuck indoors their whole life. She is not like her brothers however who have the ruddy complexion of men who spend their time riding and hunting. Her skin would best be described as creamy with a touch of healthy pink in her cheeks. Her lips are a perfect warm red rosebud on her face.
Voice-Her voice is described as warm and comforting by those who have had occasion to talk at length with her. Like her parents Reyna carries a tone of authority when she speaks, though it does not carry a harsh edge.
Quirks-Anything that would have been considered a bad habit or an unseemly behaviour was trained out of her as a young girl. In private however Reyna has a habit playing with her hair, wrapping it around her finger when she is thinking on a problem.
Personality:
Strengths-Diplomacy, level-headedness and careful planning
Weakness-Unable to defend herself (minus a bow and arrow), very little experience with upheaval or real danger, fear of drowning
Reyna is a diplomat in every sense of the word. Calm, in control and always weighing the situation and factors carefully. She has control over her emotions and any in the castle will tell you that they have not seen the princess she a tear since she was but a child. Press further and one might find that they have also not heard her laugh heartily or anger since she was a child also.
She is a good listener and weighs her words carefully in all situations be it the colour of a dress or a dispute among friends.
She is demure and proper but does have opinions and does not easily or simply defer to those around her. She was brought up to have opinions, very thought opinions but opinions none the less.
Her friends in the court will tell you that she is loyal, kind and respectful. Reyna will humbly state that it is those around her that make her better.
Reyna is not seen as overly sympathetic but a good ruler must never show too much emotion or favouritism so she keeps things carefully balanced.
In private there are times when the control weighs heavily on her and she finds herself guiltily wishing for a bit of breathing space, time when she can simply relax and not have to think quite so much.
She is as the kitchen would state, a picky eater and has been since she was a child. There is a stubborn streak in the girl that only comes out when food is involved. There are many things she does not like and will not try despite the cooks best efforts. Reyna is never rude about it but there are many times when as a child she had gone hungry. As an adult, Reyna has learned to be more diplomatic and careful when at feasts.
Reyna’s favourite thing is the royal flower gardens. She has a soft spot for flowers and in particular a small side garden that main royal garden. It is on a small stone path and a bench sits beneath a tree surrounded by fragrant flowers. It is the one place Reyna will go when there is nothing needed from her. It is also the place she feels the most like herself and not the princess.
Reyna knows that her people are relying on her and she strives to always do what is in their best interest.
Background:
Reyna is the third child, first daughter of King Haru and Queen Mikaela. Her brothers are both married, the eldest Ryko is set to be heir. She has two younger siblings as well, a brother and sister and the royal family lost the youngest member to illness shortly after her birth.
Raised in the castle, Reyna watched her parents rule fairly and watched as the people rewarded them with loyalty and devotion. She and all her siblings were brought up with a healthy understanding that the nation comes before all else.
The royal children never wanted for anything but they were never spoiled and rude or brash behaviour was never tolerated. They were reminded that what they must always appreciate the people of their nation and it was the royal family’s job to protect and look after them.
The kingdom itself is quite peaceful and the Princess and her siblings have never known true danger or chaos.
