mendrika / norway / When your muse makes a mistake, how to do they go about handling it? Do they apologize or try to hide their errors?
a sense of responsibility and duty to others is important to mendrika, so when they realize a mistake is made, they do make an effort to apologize. the key word here is 'realize.' mendrika has been king for so long, and their gut feeling has often been proven right, that it's been harder for them to truly realize what actions of theirs are wrong. if it involves something simple, they'll apologize quickly cause they'll realize it quickly. but for something bigger --- something like hiding from your siblings that you've been poisoning yourself for nearly two and a half decades --- it takes time to finally (and sometimes begrudgingly) apologize.
tatyana / spain / Talk on a dynamic for your muse that was ruined - who have they lost connection with, who have they betrayed... who has betrayed them?
tatyana's past is littered with those she's betrayed. some betrayals were intentional, calculated. others --- perhaps more than she will ever admit --- were unintentional, accidents that spiraled out of control. the decade long civil war led to so much desperation that more often than not, rash decisions were made to survive.
but a significant betrayal --- absolutely intentional and calculated --- was made against the rest of the stasov family at the conclusion of the civil war. as the stasovs rose to take power, tatyana's first blackmail was against her own siblings. only three of them remained, and she wielded the knowledge of what they all did against them. she was lucky, really, that her actions could be considered forgivable when compared against theirs. but she betrayed their trust and shattered their bond the moment she cornered them. tatyana ascended to the throne with little resistance, and her siblings soon exiled themselves due to the pressure she mounted upon them for their silence.
şenay / russia / What are your muses greatest strengths & skills? Are they using these skills for personal gain, for their Kingdom, or for another reason?
şenay's greatest strength is her compassion!! it's their ability to build trust between themself and others!!! they care so much even if they wish to fade away from the royal weight of being an abdul!! and they don't even realize they're doing it. there is a drive and love for her family --- every single member --- as well as for the friends she's gaining, and just!! her heart!!!
for skills, they're always more for herself because of how often she was left alone. archery (both standing and mounted) is her main physical skill, but her interest's been piqued by illumination work, so she's been studying under tutors to develop the necessary skills to translate and draw manuscripts.
