wenlang was always dedicated in his studies from a young age. the possibility of him being one of the anointed in his family had been something that had always driven him to be diligent in his studies. it wasn't a sock when he presented, though presenting came with a lot more responsibility. especially with the knowledge of how powerful the ming dynasty's diadem was.
he has a tendency to come off very full of himself and superior to others due to the sheer amount of knowledge that he has. this is more seen in people that he is just meeting. those that he is close with he is far better at behaving like he is not superior. however that does make it hard for him to become close to someone.

head canons and/or backstory.
born the first born child of the chakri family, it was expected of theetika to take over the crown of thailand when the time came. it was a disappointment to her when her younger siblings presented with their powers and she did not. however that had not changed the fact that she was the heir to thailand. taking pride in her position of running the country.
marriage had been something that thee had never been sure of. though understanding had been there in the sense that it was what was meant to happen for her as she prepared to take over the throne from her own parents. growing up she had expected that she would have been placed into a marriage that was of a convenience to the chakri family line. falling in love with the woman that she spent the most time with when the other countries had come together was far from what she had imagined could have been her life.
yet twelve years ago thee married the love of her life. and two years after their marriage they welcomed their baby girl into the world via the use of a sperm donor. as one of the countries to recognize the use of donation through natural methods to have a legitimate child together.
the drought is something that has thee extremely stressed about her own country. her hopes in attending the grand summit is to secure a deal with the russian tsar in hopes of helping with the drought. however the russian's are not the only ones that she would be willing to work out a deal with to save the dying beauty of thailand.
personality wise; theetika is very hard on the outside. keeps a lot of the stresses in her life to herself instead of unloading on her friends and family. she can come off as very cold and blocked off. also very dedicated to the betterment of thailand itself. would do just about anything to help protect her country.

unburdened by the glorious purpose -- or a burden -- of powers such as her eldest sister and elder brother posses, xinyue grew up mostly unaffected and relaxed by the terrible machinations of this modern universe. burying herself in books and scrolls, she enjoyed lounging in the library -- or her bedchambers after smuggling in the restricted section -- she drank in the lives of those long gone, soaking in their wisdom and creativity. while she loved old ballads and tragic stories from the olden days, her heart did beat for riddles and mysteries. while she sails from a very knowledgeable family, her adoration for the mystique and the hidden honed her intellect to be something much useful in the coming days -- she could see every loophole, every trap ( to a reasonable extent, for she was still a mere human ) and had been wrong only twice in her fifteen years of sleuthing.
she is of a very gentle heart and loves to nurture plants and animals. xinyue tends to the garden along with the gardeners and it is said she even speaks to the plants to help them grow, treating them as she would other living -- and more movable -- creatures. her room is filled with various herbs and plants, going as far as to having a gigantic monstera plant climbing almost to her ceiling. along with the plethora of flora, she takes care to as much of fauna as it's humanely possible. stray cats and dogs? stray no more. if they are not in her room or around the castle, there is a special kennel ( more like fire ruined stables reconstructed to be their lush home ) solely for them.
she loves to cook and dabbles in medicine, though her idea of helping is brewing tea and baking cakes. she does make her beauty products such as peony rouge, the egg and vinegar hair mask sprinkled with jasmine and camelia for the fragrance, milk and honey bath tinctures and more. but, as of late she'd been dabbling less in such trivial matters and focused more on the task at hand -- providing a gentle word and a sane advice to her sister, the empress. while she is not as enthusiastic about the politics, she sees the logic in her siblings' reasoning and so she joins forces with them, aiding in whichever way she is able to.
Hark! The trumpets are now announcing the arrival of CATERINA STROZZI, the PRINCESS OF ITALY. It has been said that they are known to be COURAGEOUS and KIND.

she may not be the heir to the throne of italy, but she had been chosen by darkness itself to be the queen of all that lives in the dark. she does not particularly desire the throne -- why years for something so restricting and illuminating? she was not made for the spotlight or for being seen. if there is one thing she prefers above all else, it is to linger in the darkness of her making, of the world's making. if myths are given flesh, then she is persephone, queen of the underworld herself. though on darker nights the whispers in the shadows call her a different thing -- nyx. niktos. the primordial darkness that veils all.
caterina is not a disloyal creature. so what she was born second to her father? the primogeniture swears a natural order of things and like darkness is the natural order coming after the light, the one cannot truly exist without the other. with her power of shadows and all those skittish things that make the dark, she stands by her brother -- offering council if he wishes to receive it.
she feels at home in the battlefield. the rink of death. she remembers the blood bath and how it ended, putting her father on the throne and herself and her siblings as the next in line. it's been quiet for ten years now, but such horrors seldom remained buried and at peace for long. it itches. burns beneath her skin like veins of molten lava, coated in darkness and expectations.
