your arms are always stretched out , as if you always wanted to reach for more . yet , back then you only wanted to reach for your brother . small steps quickening as you try to catch up and you get closer, closer, close enough and when you fall . however, tears do not even well up your eyes when he turns around and all you do is smile .
you grow up spoiled as one of your status is supposed to be , a little odd but enough that others avoid you . but you do not care, you prefer being alone anyway, hidden away so you cannot be forced to attend your lessons but close enough that you can still watch your siblings . the only people you adore .
you do not dream of anything and sometimes you consider life boring . now when you look back, you wonder if it was your ungratefulness, the act of being too used to comfort and happiness you could not see , that ultimately led to all of this . it is only when you watch your eldest brother trying to grasp onto life so desperately that you suddenly want to live . for him, for your family , for vengeance .
the king is dead but you lost your brother . when rumors about his death surface you believe them because you need to . because you know . your grief is too big and you try to mold it into a purpose . the need to protect your family , the belief that you’ll find peace after you’ve done the same to the murderer of your brother . vengeance has already consumed you , half-eaten the fear of what will become of you after you’re done .

amelie has a pet raven and a crow , simply because she thinks they make her look bold and edgy . she finds delight in her own joke as she called the raven “Krähe” (crow) and the crow “Rabe” (raven) .
she prefers to dress in dark colours , mostly black . she thinks it adds to the whole witchy and scary vibe she’s going for.
she often wears josef’s clothing or when she’s scolding for wearing men’s clothing she wears pieces of it to honor her brother or attempting to cope with his death
amelie is gifted at playing the cello, an instrument she’d chosen because she thought of it as the “darker version” of the violin . back then , she’d often play for her family , choosing the most dreadful pieces she knew of . however, since her brother’s death she’d stopped playing it.

( Nurgül Yeşilçay, cis woman, she/her, 46) ** ♔ announcing MIHRIMAH OSMAN, the HASEKI SULTAN ! in a recent portrait they seem to resemble Nurgül Yeşilçay. it is a miracle that SHE survived the last five years and for that reason, they are FOR the kingdoms working together. reflecting on them now, they remind me of the crisp sound of silk skirts, the glitter of jewels on a necklace, sliding a brush through your child's hair.

you are not born a princess but rather a daughter among a handful of children of a lesser son with a distant uncle has money and station, but your father has little. you’re barely more than a girl when you enter the harem, a gift for a man you may never meet from an uncle you hardly know. you will get to live in a palace, they tell you. one less mouth for your father feed, they whisper.
an odalik for most of your teen years. you wait upon the valide sultan, waiting for the chance to advance higher in the hierarchy of women. the valide sultan is strict yet kind- you learn the way this world works at her feet.
you become a concubine, a consort, and haseki sultan. you love the sultan, of course you do, and you love the children he gives you even more.
you expect to live the rest of your life in relative peace, your needs taken care of, your children to dote on.
then comes the sickness. you pray it does not come into the palace, but with so many people entering and exiting there was no chance of the walls protecting you. so many fall ill, so many fall dead.
but defne, your sweet daughter, your youngest. she is a victim to the seemingly endless sickness. you pray as you have never prayed before. you fall ill from your vigil at her bedside. you recover, she does not.
your child is ripped from you and it hurts- but you must pull yourself together. you have other children to care for. a sultan to help guide.
they call for a peace summit and you are hesitant to go. you must remain strong.
unsent postcards. losing track of time. flinching at the sound of your father's voice. a swift and gentle handling of a sharp sword. running away from your problems.

nothing is chasing you, yet you fight for your life.
before you're even born you're considered a mistake. a mishap, best hidden but soon revealed, and through your father's pride you're brought into his home as his son. you're never allowed to speak of your mother, yet every day you're reminded of her by the mocking words of your father. you look for her in secret, but it never gets you anywhere. you're a prince, that should be enough for you.
you survive your childhood with the help of your siblings. you've one older sister and she promises you the world. she will whisk you away to someplace far away from your father, and when she goes: you wait.
you study, you learn to cook, you learn to defend yourself. you learn to fight. your sister is no longer around which gives your father's tyranny free reigns over you. the more he realises you are hard to control, the more forced becomes his fist closed around you. you're set to marry a girl your age, against your will, as the tale often goes. this is where you make your escape and once more find yourself at your sister's side.

☾ you’re the first born, your name paving your way to greatness and yet your bones are too fragile, breaking under the weight of expectations and a not so certain fate.
☾ when narisa opened her eyes to the world no one expected her to live. she was weak, a word only reserved for outsiders but at least she barely cried at all.
☾ her childhood floats in a fog, alone. muted and fuzzy. most of her time were spend in bed, her sickness treated as an inconvenience to her duties, the expectations still the same.. her father only ever spoke to her when he asked her about her studies, his eyes mostly clouded by disappointment. and sometimes she’d believe that it’d begun since her birth.
☾ the doctors called it a miracle when her health improved, however she considered it a result of determination and perhaps the answer to her prayers. she’s determined to prove that her birth wasn’t sheer luck but that she was born lucky.
☾ yet, being tied by her illness somehow rendered her as odd. when speaking to others her age she doesn’t know what to say, sharing the same language of cruelty as her family did. she’s blunt, insensitive and sometimes cruel but she doesn’t know better. she’s alone again.
☾ as she becomes older and wiser, she learns how to use her words, twist them to her advantage while keeping a facade made out of stone. she’s known to be detached, calculated but she’s also known for her abilities, her intelligence and perhaps that’s what made her fit to be queen.
☾ she only wants the best for italy and she doesn’t mind making sacrifices but she didn’t know that she’d need to sacrifice her own body. her pregnancy was kept a secret to the public and so was the fact that she had a miscarriage. that she’d never be able to provide an heir. she felt like that helpless child again when the doctor told her that her body was too weak, the birth of another baby probably ending with her death.
☾ when the plague hits italy, again all she can do is watch her country fall to shambles. yet, she doesn’t want the kingdoms to work together, she doesn't wants to rely on anyone else and believes that the root of their problems must be fixed first without any influence of outsiders and promises that can be easily broken.
( dominique devenport, cis woman, she / her, 26 ) ** ♔ announcing VASILISA ROMANOVA, the GRAND PRINCESS OF RUSSIA ! in a recent portrait they seem to resemble dominique devenport. it is a miracle that she survived the last five years and for that reason, they are against the kingdoms working together. reflecting on them now, they remind me of an icy gaze as cold as it is beautiful, the shattering of a priceless vase as it hits a wall in anger, comfort found in the neigh of a white horse.
the grand princess vasilisa romanova , known for her beauty and grace , she charmed the russian court from the moment bright blue eyes opened and a sweet squeal left her mouth . but sweetness could only last for so long and soon enough that babe was a grown woman . a woman who hid her wants and desires behind doe eyes and charming laughs , but to those who really got to know her they could see through the princess' facade . she was not nice , or sweet . merely she was able to trick others into thinking she was , she enjoyed manipulation . her anger , if seen , was something to behold -- a fire would burn behind cerulean eyes as if the gates of hell were opened just behind them . and god help anyone who was in her path of anger .
while she loves her family , she doesn't particularly like them , and she would love to rule russia for herself . not because she could be a good ruler but because she would love to be . . . truly in charge . but if she can't have her own country , she'll settle for someone else's and she has no qualms about batting her eyelashes and feigning love if it means a bigger crown on her head .
“ you’re not as discrete as you may think, ” he announces, voice echoing through the large room as he drops his pen against the grain and leans back into his chair, never looking into their direction. he’d been attempting to compose a letter for what felt like an eternity and had failed miserably every time. a few sentences would be written only to be scribbled out, paper wadded and tossed onto the ground next to where he sat. nothing felt quite right so maybe no word was better than the wrong ones. “ curious, are you? ”

☾ when you’re born, you know nothing but love. you’ve inherited your father’s smile and the softness of your mother’s love. you’ve always considered it a blessing but as you discover the cruelty of the world, you ask yourself, perhaps you’ve been better off if you never knew kindness.
☾ despite of growing up as the oldest, elsa knew nothing but love. although her parents’ marriage was one out of convenience, they were the exception of the rule and truly adored each other. they always wanted the best for their children and although they might have been strict at times, elsa knew that they only were when they needed to be.
☾ that’s why, she’d always been obedient. she knew that her parents only wanted the best for her and that she grew up with many privileges. her parents were known to be very charitable and elsa would often come with them, helping whenever it was needed and sometimes sneaking into their private libraries to get to know more ways to help each other.
☾ when her mother died, elsa felt like she had to take over the role of her mother. her father was broken at every heartbeat, her siblings still in need of a motherly figure. it wasn’t easy and sometimes she’d wish she could just be that little girl again asking her mother for help.
☾ she dreamed of doing more in life than simply becoming a wife. she wanted to help others wherever she could. but when her father told her that she’d marry, she knew that she had to prepare herself for her future duties. and perhaps sacrificing her own dreams was the most she could ever do.
☾ truth to be told, even when she married into the swiss family, she still wore rose coloured glasses. for that reason, she expected her marriage to be as perfect as her parents’. however, reality would break her heart and her expectations and she never felt lonelier in her life.
☾ she tried everything she could, to be understanding and patient but as time passed she found herself more isolated and would end up traveling a lot and to distract her mind and heart.
☾ she ended up seeing her personal guards more often than the king and the distance between her and her husband appeared to be even bigger. her heart was lonely and longing for a love that didn’t exist in her marriage, and when she found out about her pregnancy she knew that it wasn’t the king’s child.
☾ however, she couldn’t bring herself to speak the truth. more afraid of what would happen to her child when what happen to herself. she knew she committed a sin and that she had to live with it forever.
