i think we met very, very briefly at galleont, correct me if i'm wrong; but this is ashley/cronut, who was there for a hot second before i had to bail. i think my royal would probably agitate the fuck out of maría, mostly because she's idealistic & naïve, but i don't think they would get into many arguments? at least, not now -- siobhan is getting more involved with politics and has been increasingly vocal, so i think she would be amenable to being "educated" but also sticking stubbornly to her guns if/when she truly believes in something (even if it's completely stupid). so i'm excited to see how they fare! on a more casual/personal level, i can see siobhan casually suggesting marriage partners w/ commentary if this ever comes up in game (it should; it'd be hilarious).
i'm interested to see what my rebel makes of her, because there is a lot he can appreciate (intelligence, passion, direction) and a lot that would make him roll his eyes so hard (mostly anything that has to do with her own personal gain wrt to spain & portugal, though obviously he'd be coming from a biased pov). can't wait to see them interact on the network.
