open starter ;;

The weight of all of Portugal was felt deeply upon Ines' shoulders. The revolution was surely all that was on her mind these days, which both emboldened and saddened her. She was proud to lead her country in the fight against the conquering Norway, but it was a task that did not come easily. At every turn, she found plans foiled, spies murdered, tortured, made examples of. She sent good men to die so horrendously. If she said she slept well at night, she would be lying.

After another heated meeting with her council she decided it would be best to take a walk around the grounds to clear her mind. It only helped so much, but the fresh air felt good on her lungs. The salty sea in just the distance filling the air. She imagined the sound of the waves in her mind, and found that to be more soothing than anything. Turning a sharp corner, she found herself nearly colliding with another and gave a small, audible gasp. "Apologies. I was not paying attention, I fear."

( ANGEL COULBY, SHE/HER, CISFEMALE ) HEAR YE, HEAR YE! Allow me to introduce INES BRAGANZA of PORTUGAL. The THIRTY-FIVE year old QUEEN is known to be BRILLIANT and GRACEFUL, but rumors about court claim SHE can be COARSE and IRRATIONAL when crossed. Only time will tell where their interests belong. Penned by CAT ( cst + 25 + she/her ).

about the mun;

hello everyone !! my name is cat, 25, she/her prounouns, i decided to rejoin the rpg world recently and am excited to get back into the groove ! i’m pretty free and i’m open to lots of plots so feel free to slide into my dm’s !!

about the muse;

ines is incredibly smart, which is one reason she has successfully ruled without a king or ties to another nation as an ally in that way. however with potential war on the horizon, she has been more considerate of the need for a secure marriage. still, it is not at the front end of her plans for portugal, as the country has thrived thus far. she is very private on the matters of love, and while she is incredibly loving and protective of her family, her firm hand may not always allow her to show it. now that they are openly rebelling against norway, ines is more focused than ever on protecting her country, and negotiations for securing allyships are very welcome.

potential plots/connections;

i’d love for her to have her siblings to sort of work out familial tensions, especially her brother since she would not be where she is without his giving up the throne. this could be a source of conflict as the pressure can build up and get to her. another connection would be a friend who she can feel vulnerable with. ines is always trying to put on a front, and that tends to cause her to feel her feelings all alone. a potential betrothal would also be a neat connection, as ines is, again, private about her feelings. it could be a relationship that is forced and she simply brings herself to tolerate this person, or it could actually grow to be something.

again, i could totally think up lots of more things, specifically catered to other characters, so feel free to reach out for plotting!!
