Personality
Lady Bellhouse is an impossibly sweet child, very well mannered and perhaps the politest thing to come out of Thania. She loves people, loves being around them, and loves talking to them. She has a soft spoken, comforting voice that doesn't seem able to raise above room volume. The only time she ever seems miffed is when she's overlooked. As a Princess, it's one thing she's not used to. Despite her upbringing as a princess, she never lost contact with the common man. Her family has always acted in the interests of their people, and she's no exception. Lissa is always willing to hold out a helping hand, and she's eager to please. She's also rather intelligent for her age. Despite that, she can be willful without outwardly appearing so. She doesn't argue, she debates. She's a great debater. So much so that many give up and relent before she does. Then she'll smile and express gratitude. She's more clever than she has any right to be, and sharp as a tack.
She's proud of her heritage and of her country. She loves her Father and her Mother, but she is most definitely a daddy's girl. She respects them both immensely and will often find herself missing them terribly at long stretches without. This respect leads her to be fiercely protective of their names, she won't see the monarchy of Thania driven through the mud. She possesses a naivity that betrays her youth. Hate, war, and death are foreign concepts, spoken of only in her history lessons. She doesn't understand that sometimes there are just bad people who want to hurt. Lissa is the girl who would wander right into the face of danger because, to her, there is no danger.
Lissa possess the brightest silver tongue this side of the Dragon's pass, and enough wits to let that serve where her Guardian's sword arm cannot. She has cultivated a politician's skillset that will serve her well once she becomes Queen. Debate and compromise are her weapons. The mind is sharper than the sword, as her tutors always told her. Speaking of tutors, she's gifted with a bright mind belying her age thanks to the best possible tutors in Thania. While this doesn't necessarily translate into battle tactics, she is quick on her feet and clever, adaptable. She's also, if you cut right down to it, quite adorable. Only a souless monster could harm a tiny girl with big blue eyes-- a deadly combination when you take the puppy-dog eyes she has cultivated into account. What she can't debate her way into, she can guilt. What she can't guilt, well... That's what her Guardian's for.
Cons
The big one is that she's still a child. Still in her teens, and that causes her to be overlooked in many situations. Sometimes her voice of reason is disregarded entirely, and it irrates her. She's no warrior, nor is she a mage, she has no physical offense or defense aside from her Guardian, and she relies on him to protect her bodily. As noted before, she's also incredibily naive, and (despite the politician moniker) has trouble sifted fact from fiction. She'd more than readily take anything at face value, though she's clever enough to figure out an outright lie. Also the fact that she's a Princess is a weakness of itself. One word she's a Bellhouse and a opportunistic bandit may try to kidnap her for a ransom.
Appearance
What's there to say about little Lissa Bellhouse? She's a tiny thing at a mere five feet flat, and doesn't weigh an ounce over a hundred pounds sopping wet. She's slender, almost fragile looking in nature like a strong enough wind or a large enough bird could pick her up and carry her off-- though she's still growing she'd vehemently state. A mess of bright red curls sets on her head and bounces far after she has stopped. It can be straightened out and be presentable, if she has an afternoon free. Wide light blue orbs sit in her eye sockets, giving her a pleasant and kindly appearance. Since she's out and about incognito, she wears common clothing, a bland dress and and bland cloak-- though little help it does to hide her stature. She has her pride written on her forehead and her gait is smooth and unfettered. Lissa also has an intelligent, learned dialect, punctuated with verbal flourishes that just happen of their own accord.
History
Considering Lissa is still only a child, she hasn't had time for much life to happen. She was born in the Thanian castle to the King and Queen of the country. Nothing interesting has happened to her whilst in the castle, unless her lessons count (they don't). In fact, the reason she's exploring the world stems from this nothingness. In order to become a truly great leader she needs to see the world, and not just the walls of her castle. Plus, who doesn't like a little adventure every now and then? She brought up seeing the world to her parents and after a series of good points (and hours of "Debate") they relented. So now she travels with her bodyguard, and she has since found herself in Ley.
Other
Lissa might want you to think of her a woman and lady, but she still has her childish moments. She loves stories of grand adventure and daring. She loves sweets, especially cookies, and small fluffly animals. So much so that an adorable bunny would crack her princessly manner and send her into a fit of squees. She also loves her daddy.
King and Lionheart
Of Monsters and Men
Taking over this town they should worry,
But these problems aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.
And in the winter night sky ships are sailing,
Looking down on these bright blue city lights.
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait.
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay.
Howling ghosts – they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
A lionheart.
His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
Past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind.
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same.
Howling ghosts – they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand
'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart.
A lionheart. [8x]
