decreed ~ the ooc for reigning

Hello everyone! To echo so many other intros, I know a lot of you already, but for those who need a refresher, I'm Lina! My CDJ/swirl of cobwebs on this portion of the internet is sparkings. I'm currently trying to not let my random-as-hell case of laryngitis screw me out of giving an awesome interview, so I shall internet instead!

I've only the got the one character so far and it is this: Izolda Weronika Žofie Poniatowska-Kinsky, princess of Poland-Czechoslovakia, younger sister of the current king. She goes strictly by Izolda unless you've earned the right to a nickname (spoiler alert: almost no one has). Her reputation one where she comes off easily annoyed and kind of prickly, despite all of the decorum she carries around with her no one would really dare to call her "warm" or "fuzzy" unless they've known her for ages. Her nickname amongst the Polish-language tabloids is Lodowa księżna (aka ice princess). She's hard to get to know, but much like the Dowager Countess on Downton Abbey, she's actually quite supportive of her family and those she cares about.

Currently single (gasp! WHO LET THESE CHILDREN INTO THE MONARCHY), she's been doing half-time on queenly duties until her brother formally ties the knot and she can go back to being just the princess. Her affections are for art and its role in economic development, as well horse jumping and drinking insane cocktails. She can be quite funny...if you know her. Which I suppose someone out there in the royal pool has managed!

Looking forward to this game so much and all sorts of plots! (PSST who wants to play her siblings???) Give me everything you've got!

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.
