Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 3748638" data-attributes="member: 29014">(OOC: Okay, the princess--)*There's not really that much information on the princess in the books here, since she's relatively young and not old enough to have her own biography, for instance.  Assuming Titus is serious about getting info on her, he can always have Kel gather info while they wait for Blunt--they have plenty of time.  So then, here's a combination of everything from both:Although Aldin Aureolus is the most popular king of Sundaria in many many years, Princess Elenia Aureolus is even more beloved, particularly among the common folk, even though she has no official administrative duties yet.  This is mainly a result of her various philanthropic and humanitarian efforts, coupled with her initiative to lower taxes for the needy, among others, by subsidising out of the interest earned on the royal treasury.  A subset of her popularity is also derived from her renowned beauty, affable and friendly nature, and effusive charisma.  There's even a 'secret' Elenia fan club.Princess Elenia is in many ways a symbol and embodiment of Sundaria's hope and the bright future ahead.  For one thing, she was born on the eve of the cult's destruction, twenty years ago.  For another, when she was about to be born, as customary for the nascent heir, she had her prophecy read.  Apparently, the prophecy said that she was destined to usher Sundaria into a Golden Age.  The prophecy isn't exactly common knowledge though--Blunt actually found that bit in the library.Princess Elenia is also known for her spunk and a bit of an independent streak.  Rumours abound that she will often escape the palace grounds to mingle with the commonfolk, and certainly even though she always attends the necessary royal balls and galas, she is said to have shown her displeasure towards every arrogant noble dandy who has tried to woo her, including the heirs of powerful merchant families and the thrones of other kingdoms.  King Aldin, for his part, dotes a bit on his daughter, and he wants to make sure that her inevitable marriage is a happy one, so he's willing to let her decide, even though some among the nobility consider it unacceptable.  Incidentally, according to the people with whom you speak, those few of the Old Guard amongst the nobility are the only ones who seem to have even a single ill word to say of her.  However, these same nobles are often those about whom there are whispers of shady dealings.The Coronation makes Elenia the official Crown Princess.  Until then, she is considered too young to inherit the kingdom, and a regent would be appointed if her father died or abdicated.*</blockquote>
