Armena

She finds the cureent parlement to be the most frustrating thing ever. While they do let her rule most things without opposing any veto, they have vetoed into death most of her big changes ans she hates it;

A lot of non-griffins gained griffin status by getting adopted by her;

She started adopting in hopes of encouraging her people to do the same and realised that she liked kids and had the ressources for it so...

She enjoys the whole political games but hates the slowness of it;

Armena's Husband

He's the son of a marquis and hit a pretty strong rebel phase suring his teenagehood;

He wanted to try one of Armena's dresses real bad one day and got stuck;

He's probably straight but doesn't really want to find himself a girlfriend. He's happy with Armena and doesn't want the trouble of a romantic partner;

Knew straight from the beginning that there would be no romance involved in their relationships and was 100% down for it;

He jokes a lot about being the trophy husband.

For a prompt, “I crave your affection, but I crave your silence even more– shut up," with whoever fits it best (or, alternatively, whoever fits it *worst*)

It surprisingly fitting for a late night Armena tbh... Anyways, it's really short but I hope it'll still be enjoyable?

-A

---

It was long passed midnight when the queen finally could slip in her bed and nuzzle against her husband. If she thought him long asleep, she was however surprised when he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer.

"Mmm… goodnight," he glanced at the alarm clock, "er-morning. Long day?"

Armena whined, pressing her face against his shoulder.

"Armie…"

"Don't feel like talking about it…"

The prince consort sighed softly.

"Can I tell you about my day then?"

"Caliban. Today was a horribly long day. This late at night, I crave your affection, but I especially crave your silence more. Shut up."

"Yes Ma'm."

30 for Delia and Armena

30. How much does your oc swear? Or do they keep completely clean? Why is this? Is there any situation where they would be the opposite? Delia only honestly swears around Apollo and when it’s only the two of them, because he’s the one person she feels comfortable enough around to do it. She’s still pretty tamed, swear wises, but will occasionally let out stuff to scar a child for life.

Armena, on the other hand, uses way harsher swears. Never in front of kids, obviously, she’s a responsible adult, and not in public either because it’s not worthy of a queen to do so. She tends to choose her moments and use them in a manner that will give what she’s saying some importance or a bigger impact, kind of like how it does when someone that never swears suddenly does. (I’m not quite sure if it makes sense explained like that woopsie.) Her husband, however, gets to hear her swear a lot more when they’re in private at night, and so does her eldest daughter, since she now is an adult and knows not to use words like that in public.

All questions for Armena

🌟 When your OC loses all hope, who do they turn to first? What helps make them feel better? What calms them down and reassures them? Why?

Usually she’ll turn to her husband first and foremost, after all they are platonic soulmates and they do usually manage to make each other feel at ease simply by being there. She mostly feels like that because she knows she doesn’t have to keep the “level-headed” royalty appearances around him.

☀️ What makes your OC genuinely happy? A person, an item, their hobby? Where is the place they’re happiest, or most at home? What is the happiest they’ve ever been?

Her kids, she loves them to death and nothing makes her happier than to know they exist, they’re happy and they love her.

🌙 If your OC could have one wish come true what would it be and why? Would there be consequences to this wish or would they regret it once they get what they want? What would they give in return for this wish to come true?

I honestly don’t think Armena has any wish in particular? Being royalty has its perks to be honest and there aren’t that many things she can’t do.

❄️ What makes your OC sad, so sad that they can’t help but cry all day? How do they cheer themself up? Does their sadness upset any of their loved ones too?

I don’t think Armena knows it herself, because she tends to just shove it all away and hide it until she gets to the point where it’s too much and breaks down in her husband’s arms and cry for hours. Usually when she blows up it’s about something really small, which makes her kinda feel like an idiot. She can’t do much until she cried it out though.

🔥 If your OC known for having temper tantrums? If not, what gets them really angry? What makes their blood BOIL? Is there anyway to calm them down or are they unstoppable? What are they like when they’re angry? Do they take it out on their loved ones?

Not at all, Armena is rather calm and level-headed. She can and will get incredibly angry when people put others in danger for dumb reasons or fuck up everything she worked for, but it still takes a lot of that for her to get angry, if the way I’m saying it makes sense. She won’t get angry over something that wasn’t intentional either, especially if the other one looks or seems to feel guilty.

❤️ What would your OC’s ideal lover be like? Appearnce, personality, voice? Would their family approve or would it be civil war?

Well Armena is aromantic, so no ideal lover there.

🕊️ Would your OC ever get married or are they already wed? If they’re married, describe what their wedding was like! If not, describe their ideal wedding (or do this if you feel like it anyway!)

Well, Armena is married because royalty, ya know, but thankfully for her, the man she married ended up being her platonic soulmate and, while he’s still looking for a lover, both of them are actually rather happy in their platonic relationship. Being a royal wedding, their union was rather flashy and broadcasted all around, which, frankly, Armena wasn’t the biggest fan off, but whatever, she could deal with it if it was for the good of her people. 

🍼 Does your OC have any children or want children? What names would they pick? Are they good with kids or a complete disaster?

Biologically speaking, Armena only has a daughter, now children in general… she has adopted and raised more kids than anyone before, thanks to gryffons’ incredibly long lifespan. She’s a fairly good mother, very understanding and trying hard to ensure every single one of her kids happiness and success (well, what they define as such) in their lives.

☕ Give us one (or more if you feel like it) of your OCs deep dark secrets! Why do they keep it hidden? Spill the tea!

She has had officials killed. She’s not very proud of it nor happy, but it was, at the time, the only solution she could find to some problems and as such, she had them assassinated for the good of her country.

🍂 What are their opinions on the different seasons? Which one do they hate and which one do they love and why?

Armena is a big fan of winter because she genuinely prefers her winter coat to her summer one, it just make her feel more true to herself.

🦋 If your OC could change everything (or just something) about their life would they? What would they change? What do they think would happen if they did? What would their loved ones think?

Armena is actually very happy with her life, so nah, she wouldn’t change much.

💐 Does your OC like flowers? What are their favourites? Do they keep a garden of some sort? What flowers would they use in a flower crown? (and if you like, research the meanings behind those flowers!)

She,,, doesn’t have any favourite flowers per say, she’s pretty neutral towards them all in all. Her only garden would be the one that used to belong to her father, which is still being taken care of by her husband. If she were to wear a flower crown, it be made out of Dahlia (Royalty), Thyme (Power), Violet (Kindness) and Amarillys (Pride).

🌼 Write a short drabble from your OCs POV meeting their LI (or if they don’t have a love interest, their best friend. If you don’t want to do a drabble, describe their first meeting instead!)

I’m a bit too tired to write a drabble, but Armena met her husband when their parents forged an alliance by marrying them. They were two teenagers and he absolutely loved to get all up in her bubble just to get on her nerves. I feel like I should specify that, while they did get married because a royalty and needing heirs, Armena never fell in love romantically for him; to this day, they simply are platonic partners and won’t ever be more.

🥀 Has your OC ever been hurt by someone they love? Ever been betrayed? Abused? Attacked? Give me the angst! (if you’d like, write a short drabble about it!)

Her first best friend had a crush on her and didn’t take well to getting rejected. They cut all contact with her and it honestly crushed her heart because she did wish them to be her platonic partner.

🏞️ If your OC could travel to anywhere in their world where would they go? Why? If they could live there would they?

Armena can already sort of travel all around the world, but she’s more often than not, not allowed to go to places with poorer people and away from big cities in countries that aren’t hers. As such, she’d love to go see those places, because the best way to understand a country is to understand it’s smallest people.

🏡 Describe your OCs ideal house! Give us a tour around! What’s their garden like? Their bedroom? Kitchen? Where is it and how many people live there?

It would probably be a small house, something very simple and very normal. She might not mind all the fanciness, but Armena definitely prefers the simple things.

🔪 Has your OC ever killed someone? Ever had to defend themselves against violence? How did this make them feel? Or, alternatively, has your OC ever attacked someone? Seen someone die?

While Armena never killed anyone directly, she did order many assassinations, so I guess one could say she was indirectly responsible of many deaths.

💎 Does your OC collect anything? Is there a reason? When did they start and is it beginning to turn into a little bit of a hoarding issue? What do they do with their collection?

She doesn’t really collect anything since she can literally have anything she wants. It feels just… pointless.

📚 If your OC was given some kind of forbiddon knowledge, what would they do with it? Would they tell anyone? Use it for evil or good? How would it change their outlook on life, if at all?

As a member of royalty, but also as one of the most powerful people in the word, Armena already knows some stuff that his forbidden to most. In the case she was, however, to learn something no one else could have ever known, she would keep it a secret and pretend nothing was different on the outside, yet keep it in consideration for every single new decision she’s going to make. Depending the dangerousness of the secret, she might tell her husband or not, but no one else if she can avoid it.

🌗 Early mornings or late nights? What do they spend their time doing during these hours?

Early mornings and late nights. Since Armena wants to get as much time as she can get with her family, while at the same time do her Queen job properly, she’s often going to start working around 6 am on “late days” and end up around 1 am. By splitting her work either in the morning or in the night, she manages to usually get her afternoons free to spend with the kids.

👑 If your OC was made royal (or is royal) how would they use their power? Are they a good leader or bad? Do their subjects like them or is it ‘off with their head’? Do they enjoy being royal?

Armena is a pretty good leader, one of the best, even, though she sometimes gets a little hated by other leaders because she’s doing everything she can to ensure the best for her people, which sometimes means figuratively middle-fingering some outside powers that wish she’d do what they want more often. Overall, she doesn’t enjoy being royal per say, but she doesn’t mind it either. She’s conscious of her privileges and does her best to not let them affect her judgement.

💕 How is your OC like with physical affection? What are their boundries? Do they enjoy being touched or is that a no-go? Is there any reason behind this?

She enjoys physical contacts and hugs from a very particular set of people that is mostly composed of her family. Considering her tendency to adopt a lot of orphans, one could think it’s a lot of people, but it’s not that much? If you’re not family or very close friend, it’s simply a no.

☁️ What’s something your OC wishes they could forget? Why is this? Or, what is something that your OC has forgotten? (or do both!)

She’s lived for a very long time and there’s a lot of things she wished she could forget; most of them are wars she witnessed, but what scarred her the most was the first time she saw an successful assassination she had ordered. It was… not pretty. Whenever she has a nightmare to this day, it’s most likely of that.

👀 Describe your OC through the eyes of another person! (bonus + specify who)

“You know that archetype of badass, cold hearted, ruthless queen that takes no shit? Yeah, that’s what she wants you to think of her, but deep down, Armie cries about puppies walking for the first time. She’s a real sweetie in denial.” -Her husband that will need a name soon probably.

❓ A random fact or short drabble! Or make up your own question to ask the OC!

If she could have chosen her job, Armena would have either ended up working in a daycare or as a kindergarten teacher.

26 and 52 for Amalthea

26: Have they ever been in a physical fight before? If so, with who? Who won?

Never outside of regular self-defense classes so there wasn't really any winner.

52: Have they ever been axe throwing?

Nope, it never really was her kind of thing.

Hc #19

Armena adopted most of her children because she grew up as an only child and hated it. She herself had trouble giving birth to her daughter, hence why she turned to adoption. From there, she saw she had the money and space needed to raise many orphans who may have not gotten as much of a chance otherwise, so she adopted many if them.
