You hate the path that has been set down for you. Despite being royalty, you are still imprisoned by your gender. But Fate has its ways, and the Gods are watching. Break your chains and change the world.
*You are the Princess of Neria. You are independent, beautiful, smart, and talented. Lucky you! As the only heir to the Crown, you have had the chance of being raised with many privileges. Your father made sure to raise you as a future ruler. You had the best tutors, they taught you politics, diplomacy, even sword fighting and archery.*
*You are known to be spoiled, bratty, rude... and so on. This may not be true. But what did you expect after harshly rejecting every single marriage proposal? Your dejected suitors (and there are many) spoke ill of you. And the envious courtiers were more than happy to spread theirs lies and fuel the rumor. Bad reputations builds quickly.*
*Your mother believes in tradition. She thinks that a woman must first marry to access the throne. And she does not like rumors. She gave you one month to find a suitable party. One month to find a future King who will take over YOUR throne. Time is up, and here you stand, still not engaged. She will not accept it anymore. The two of you start arguing (as always) until she explodes.*
"Perhaps I have not been clear, daughter. You will not rule unless you have a husband standing by your side. You may be smart... perhaps. But you are just a woman, and women do not ascend to thrones. You do not have the physical strength to lead an army, nor do you have the endurance to withstand the heat of war. You do not have the emotional resilience to lead. You have never made sacrifices, never seen Death, and never tasted blood. You need a man to make the tough decisions. A queen only exists to have heirs and serve a king. Without one, you are nothing."
*This is the last straw. If she wants you to go to war, to kill and lead an army, so be it. This is exactly what you are going to do. You storm out of the throne room into your chambers. It's time to pack and to prove to the world that you are as worthy as a man, if not more! You make a silent vow to only come back to Neria once you have proven yourself to be a leader in your own right.*
