and you get an intro and YOU get an intro.
Hello, all! I'm Abbey -- I may have been previously known to some of you as Millennium and I can be found at sherbert. Please feel free to add me, I don't bite!
This here is María Vitória de Bórbon y de Braganza, more commonly just María, because that is a long name and requires many accent marks. Anyhow, she is the Spanish-Portuguese Crown Princess, with markedly more emphasis on the Spanish than the Portuguese (but, she points out, she was named after the Portuguese princess that first brought the houses of Bourbon and Braganza together!) She is bullheaded, flippant, direct and passionate in regards to the crown, her country (well...okay, countries), and her studies, which happen to be in Law and Economics. I am not self-inserting my own studies here, I don't know what you're saying. She is very invested in eventually ruling her country (and she's not letting go of Portugal either, inferior or not, kthnx) and improving her country's economy, justice system and tourism so that LA REINA ESPAÑA can eventually play with the big boys once again. She has still not gotten over Spain and Portugal's losses of colonies, despite the fact that happened ages before she was ever born, and makes that a goal for her children who ascend to the throne to get, never mind the fact that Spain is still sitting on Morocco. To this end she spends a good amount of time in her books, trying to find a better system of law, a better implementation of economics (which will probably still be some version of trickle down economics) to better Spain and Portugal.
She is currently on the prowl for some eligible man to marry because she's a royal and she wants that solid marriage alliance for her country (which is mostly, you know, for herself because she only cares in an abstracted sense about her people). She could also do with some other royal lady friends who don't entirely fit the mold, because she herself doesn't entirely fit the mold (to which she'll usually shrug because, WHO ELSE IS NUMBER ONE IN HER MAJOR??), royal plotting as a whole (did your grandmother marry her grandmother's brother? and so on!) and lots of rebel sedition because rebel sentiment is at a 53% in her country, come on now.
