Ausra

Ausra Roze Kavaliauskė|| ||27 years-old || Princess of Lithuania|| ||3rd in line for the crown

[fromdusk-toausra]

Ausra loved a good party, especially one next to water and that didn’t involve sewing herself into a ball gown. It had taken weeks, but the rebuild was finally completed and it seemed everyone in Khatanga had shown up to the lake to celebrate. Glass of chardonnay in hand she’d been talking to anyone and everyone she came across. They all seemed to be in such good spirits and with the promise of dinner with her sister to look forward to she didn’t see how the day could get any more perfect. Saddling up to someone new she took a sip of her glass before grinning at them. “Isn’t this just great? I’m always so impressed by how even the simplest of events that the palace hosts end up so wonderful. The first one I attended was a garden party like this, crazy to think it was already over a year ago. Not gonna lie though, all that time and I still get lost in this place,” she said with a laugh.

Rasa seemed amused at the whole display. “Seriously, Dawn, over half a century we’ve known one another, and you still think there’s something I haven’t seen?” she gestured an idle hand towards her sister, moving it around in the air for a few seconds. “Besides, there’s nothing I haven’t seen anyway,” her shoulders traveled with a shrug, but eventually, she acquiesced to the request and closed the door behind her with a click.

“Better?” she wondered, although the way her eyes rolled said she believed it unnecessary. “I asked myself how long it would take until you came over to my room with a satisfied smile upon your face at the news that Eamon and I are bunking up together, but I suppose you had other plans,” she found herself teasing, and found herself a place to sit. “Anyhow, I haven’t seen you in a while. I thought maybe you’d like to have dinner and catch up?”

“Well yeah, but what if someone walks by? What if it’s a boy and he sees me in my underthings!? With my luck I’d end up the talk of the palace and it’d be horrendously embarrassing.” Her older sister didn’t have reservations about such things, and in some ways Ausra envied that. Still, she wasn’t about to start running around the castle naked in an effort to desensitize herself. When the door finally closed she finally exhaled and relaxed, though her arms stayed crossed over her chest. “Much. Thank you.” 

Turning she headed to her closet to pull out something to wear while she listened to Rasa speak. “It was certainly on my list, though I feel like it would have been weird if Eamon had been there when I did...” With a smile though she looked back at her sister. “Seems like things are going pretty well, so should I say I told you so now, or wait until later?” Laughing softly she pulled a short casual dress on before pulling out the matching blue sandals to complete the outfit. “We should! I was planning to head down to the lake party for a bit, then we can go to dinner after? You’re going to the party right? ‘Cause the snow finally melted and I am for sure not turning down an opportunity to relax in the sun with a glass of wine.” Heading into the bathroom Ausra decided it was best to at least do a little bit of make up, especially if Frederic was going to be there. Thinking about him she blushed slightly at her reflection. “Hey, weird thing, have you met the crown prince from Switzerland before?” she called back to Rasa, not sure if their parents had told her about the potential betrothal or if she had any information on him.

Ausra had been enjoying the party immensely. Coming from a northern country didn’t mean she didn’t enjoy warmer weather a a nice body of water to soak in. Looking at the woman next to her, that seemed to have an air of familiarity that she couldn’t place, she couldn’t help but grin. “Isn’t this just wonderful? After all of the snow, an the avalanche, and everything that everyone’s been through it’s so nice to finally be able to relax and enjoy everyone’s company. I won’t lie though, I did enjoy the rebuilding phase. I had no idea so much went into building a building.” She paused a moment to chuckle. As a man walked by she reached out, grabbing a couple glasses of wine off a tray he was carrying. “Their both white, sorry I didn’t ask. You want one though,” she offered as she held it out.

He looked up at the knock with a slight frown, he wasn’t expecting anyone. Staff tended to announce themselves, or at least they had back at home - the Prince couldn’t recall if anyone had done so here yet, and frankly didn’t care. The one person he’d actually want to see, his twin, wouldn’t have bothered with knocking. One twin’s space had always blended seamlessly into the other’s. Frédéric waited another moment, hopeful they might go away or maybe he still expected people to open the door for him.  

With an irritated sigh, the Prince stood and crossed over to the door, pulling it open with a bit more force than necessary. The girl who stood there was familiar but the overwhelming sense of her nervousness drew all of his attention. Briefly he considered what his sister would say, or rather - how she’d encourage him to act. And then decided he didn’t care. 

“What do you want?”  

As soon as Frederic opened the door Ausra’s hands stopped fidgeting. She’d like to say it was because she was able to regain some semblance of composure, really though it was because he was surprisingly and stunningly attractive. She might have seen a picture or two in the past, but really, they hadn’t done him any justice. Her five foot four stature suddenly seemed very short compared to him and she couldn’t help but be intimidated a little bit.

His words pulled her from the slight daydream she’d found herself in with a start. After a moment a smile settled back onto her lips as she formed a way to adress the question of why she was at his door. “Uh...to meet you? I think that would be the most direct answer to the question you asked. Unless maybe you meant it more in the overarching sense of our potential future together, in which case, a mutual respect any many happiness's?” She was babbling again though, and after a soft, somewhat awkward laugh, she tried to restart. “I think I’m getting a bit ahead of myself there. I’m Ausra. Ausra Roze Kavaliauskė, the Lithuanian princess who’s name I’m really hoping is ringing a bell, otherwise this is going to be a very awkward conversation.”

Ausra had been stressed for the past few days, ever since she'd received the email from home. It seemed there were considerations being taken for a betrothal to the Swiss crown. Ausra had spent so many years thinking her parents would be too busy with her siblings to think about forging an arrangement for the younger middle child. Not to mention that it wasn't exactly like men were lining up to ask for the hand of the energetic princess that talks too much.

After days of anxiety about it though, she finally decided it was best to bite the bullet. It somehow seemed less stressful than walking around wondering when she'd run into him. Dressed nice, standing in front of his room though, thanks to the help of a number of maids, it didn't quite seem like the best idea anymore. With a gulp and a shift in stance she took a deep breath though and fi ally reached out to knock on the door. She didn't know Frédéric well, or at all really, but hoped it wouldn't go too bad.

“Laying…on the ground…is very good for your spine?” Lilliana repeated as she walked in, seeing her laying on the ground. She didn’t even know if she should join her in laying on the ground, even though it does look comfortable. With a shrug, she laid down next to her and…”Good lord,” she whispered, feeling much, much better now. “It does wonders for the spine, doesn’t it?”

“Very good actually! It helps straighten and reset it, which can ease a lot of pain or discomfort you have. Especially if you spend a lot of time bent over or with poor posture.” Grinning, Ausra watched the other woman lay next to her. She’d seen her around the village over the last months, but she couldn’t say she really knew her. “Isn’t it!” she asked excitedly, glad it had worked for her. “I’m Ausra by the way, or Dawn if you prefer if that’s easier. From Lithuania. I don’t think we’ve met before, but I’ve seen you around.”

A rare day off in the aftermath meant one thing for Gio: still helping with the rebuild of the castle. It wasn’t like he had much else to do and if he chose to try and relax as people had been telling him to do his mind would wander to places he didn’t want it going. It wasn’t until one of the other guard practically forced him out of the west wing that he decided to sit down for a little bit, if only to appease others. As he passed one of the empty room he noticed the familiar red locks of the Lithuanian princess and grinned, moving inside to stand over her. “Oh, I’ve learned that over the years. Sleeping on the ground is a beautiful way to set it straight.” Gio sat down next to her but didn’t lay back, just placed his arms over knees and gazed down at Ausra. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a princess lay on the ground before. But then again, you’re not an ordinary princess. Thank god for that.”

“Thank god for that?” she questioned with a  laugh. She was glad it had been Gio that had walked in, it felt like it had been months since she’d last seen him. “And besides, any princess that liked having a happy spine would lay on the ground more. How’ve you been by the way, I feel like it’s been forever.” With a little effort she lifted herself off the ground and spun to sit and face him. “I’ve seen you around the west wing too, helping rebuild. I kept meaning to say hi, but they do keep you busy over there,” she said with a laugh.

It had been a long couple of weeks since the avalanche and Ausra had been staying busy with the rebuild effort. It seemed most didn’t want an entirely untrained princess trying to rebuild a home. The Lithuanian was nothing if not persistent though and she’d made use of herself wherever she could. 

After a particularly long day she’d been thawing her appendages out in a scalding shower for much longer than anyone really needed. It was soothing for aching muscles though, and she liked watching the water run down the glass sides. It reminded her of the serenity that came with rain. Finally emerging though, she hadn’t been wrapped in her towel for more than five minutes before her bedroom door swung in with gusto. Ausra must’ve jumped five feet with a shrill scream before her senses caught up and she realized who was there. “For the love of-! Just close the door already, Dew, before somebody sees!” 

[fromdusk-toausra]

It had been a long day already and it was only half way over. After checking her watch she frowned, realizing there was still so much more daylight to keep working. Still, she needed a moment, so she excused herself from assisting the rebuild effort in the west wing. Winding through the corridors she wasn’t sure where she was going until she spotted an empty room with a large open floor. With a grin she walked in, hesitating a moment before she lowered herself onto the floor. It did wonder for her back, and as a plus, she wasn’t tying up room on a sofa if someone wanted to sit.  With a relaxed sigh she let her eyes drift closed. That was, until she heard foot step approaching. Craning her head back she grinned at the approaching figure. “It’s actually very good for your spine, laying on the ground that is. Would you like to join me?”

To others, SHE looks an awful lot like ZOEY DEUTCH and has been painted as QUIRKY & LOVABLE PRINCESS but behind closed doors, SHE is EASILY TRUSTING/MANIPULATED, & TALKS TOO MUCH but also CARES ABOUT EVERYONE & SEES THE GOOD IN EVERYTHING. It has also been said they are NOT CURRENTLY BETROTHED.

Stats

FC: Zoey Deutch Age: 27 Orientation: Panromantic/sexual [but still very iffy and curious] Nicknames: Dawn Siblings: Oldest [crown], Older Sister [Rasa], Younger Sister [Daina NPC] Country of Origin: Lithuania Likes: Singing, Dancing, Talking, Riding her horse, meeting new people, cute boys Dislikes: Negativity, Pessimism, When People get hurt, being yelled at, Spinach

Behind the tiara...

Ausra is naturally a blonde, but she dyes her hair red. She says it’s because it “makes her look cuter”, which it 100% does. Also because she finds it fitting for both her first and middle name. Ausra means ‘dawn’, Roze means ‘rose’, both of which are commonly associated with warm red/orange tones.

Being the third in-line for the throne Ausra’s never worried much about having to take over the country, so she’s always just kind of done her own thing. She stays out of trouble and goes to all the necessary political functions, but aside from her necessary classes she doesn’t do much to forward her leadership or country knowledge.

She’s low-key innocent. Not in the ‘doesn’t know how the world works’ sense, but in the very trusting and easily manipulated sense. She always sees the best in people and believes that they are good, and that can get her into a lot of trouble, especially heading to a fortress full of rebels. She’ll give everyone the benefit of the doubt, even when it’s fairly obvious they don’t deserve it, and she dreams of a world at peace where everyone can get along. A lot of people might count her as naïve, but she disagrees. Ausra thinks there’s beauty in everything and the world is a gray scale, there’s no such thing as just good and just evil.

Never formerly diagnosed, but girl is pretty ADHD. She has a really hard time sitting still, often pacing while she speaks with someone who’s sitting. And talking, good lord, this girl will talk your ear off. If you show even the slightest amount of interest she’ll tell you everything about her life, she doesn’t know how to keep her own secrets. With that said, she’d adamant about never giving away someone else’s.

Ausra prides herself on her sense of humor. She figure’s she’ll never be super-model sexy, but she can be cute and funny, and she plays to those strengths. She’s even been known to drop a practical joke every now and again.

She’s super worried about her sister since the death of her husband. She doesn’t believe she needs her vices; knowing her sister more than strong enough to make it through. She tends to come across a little clingy, but it’s just because she wants to spend time with her and hopefully see her get better and move forward.

Some Connection Ideas:

Betrothed  He could be anyone from any country, crown or not.  She’s never been one to look forward to that kind of thing, and she’s never really thought about it happening to her. Her parents always seemed more focused on the love lives of her older siblings, to the point where she was convinced they wouldn’t worry about marriage for her. Not to mention that she didn’t always make the best first impressions and so far, no men are lining up to marry her. With Rasa betrothed now though, anything is possible, and for the first time, she’s starting to worry about it.

Childhood Friend They would be a staff member, or potentially a rebel, that spent a lot of time around the palace while they were growing up. The two would have bonded from a young age, then for whatever reason, they would have stopped coming around [school abroad, family moved, etc.] and are only now after years getting the chance to reconnect.

Cousins Family members on her mother’s side. Likely from a country close by that Lithuania has a political alliance with. [Of course Sarah {Rasa} would be involved in the conversation too. Could be as close or not as we’d like to plot them to be. 

Your Idea Here! You got ideas? I want to here about them! The more twisted the better, let’s ruin the innocent baby!
