hi jewels, it's ashley, i am just hitting up your intro posts everywhere today (it's my rp catch-up day, obvs). i have a rebel @ discreet but probably more relevant to malena is my fellow royal, queen of france & second princess, siobhan bonaparte. i would LOVE to offer siobhan as a potential best friend for malena; she's a year younger, but i think their personalities are quite compatible. siobhan went to boarding school in switzerland; perhaps the two of them could have met there? siobhan's gotten more politically visible over the past few years a coping mechanism for her homesickness, but she's still largely naive and coming from a position of privilege. she is pretty much hanlon's razor personified. well-intentioned, well-meaning, but still ignorant to the common strifes & struggles of those in the classes below hers. she's bright and charming, educated though she has yet to go to college, and easing into a place where she feels happy with her lot in life despite a growing awareness of growing sympathy for the rebel movement in both her countries. I JUST REALLY LOVE BEST FRIENDS & I THINK THEY WOULD GET ON NICELY.
