Princess Jolene of Zetalph

The White Rose of Zetalph

The crowd was waiting in front of the castle, happily waiting for their princess to show up. They loved her. She was a ray of sun in their bland days. Right now, the one they were waiting for was pacing back and forth in her room. Nervous, she spoke to herself:
"What am I going to do? What if I stutter? What if I forget what to say?"   As she was thinking, the doors to her room opened. It was Sir Torric, her loyal guard and her childhood friend.
"Princess, it is time."
"Torric, you scared me. Do you think I am ready?"
"Princess, as always, you know what to do. They need to see your light. It's because of you that this kingdom blooms."
She smiled.
"You always know what to say to make my worries go away. Let's tell them about the plans for our kingdom." "Princess, as always, your wisdom will save us."

Physical Description

Physical quirks

The princess is a clutz. She often trips and things fall out of her hands. Many of her servants consider that a very adorable trait. When she gets nervous, she needs to walk back and forth to calm herself.

Special abilities

Princess Jolene was born with the ability to manipulate Colors. Right now, she can only do one at a time (Black), and any tries to teach her more have been stopped the day her parents passed away as to not put her into danger. She often uses spells that aid her people, giving them strength for a short time.

Apparel & Accessories

Jolene loves to wear long gauzy dresses whenever she can. Most of them are of the color of azure sky, with light purple patterns woven into them. During most of the days, she wears a blue diadem on her head, a symbol of her rulership.   Whenever there is a religious celebration, she dons a traditional white dress with a long tail. She also puts on a small ornamental crown.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Since childhood, Jolene devoured any book her little hands and eyes could find. As her parents saw her thirst for knowledge, they hired many tutors that would teach her about the world.
Soon, she would personally help her father with furthering the trade and industry in the kingdom. The kingdom bloomed with every year passing. New technologies were introduced.   Sadly, two years ago, during their travels, her parents and their entourage died, leaving young princess on a throne. With the help of regents and stewards, it was possible for the kingdom to rise from that blow. Now, it seems that those sad days left her stronger and wiser.
Her lies
Purple Witch of Zetalph by Revyera
A group of rebels was waiting in front of the castle, surrounded by knights, waiting in dread for their princess to show up. They knew it was their end. She would never let them live another day. Right now, the one they were waiting for was pacing back and forth in her room. Nervous, she spoke to herself:
"Another ones! How do they keep freeing themselves? Are the spells not working?"   As she was thinking, the doors to her room opened. It was Sir Torric, her loyal guard and her childhood friend.
"Princess, it is time."
"Torric, you are here. Where do these rebels come from? What do I need to do to make them stop?"
"Princess, as always, you know what to do. They need to see your light. It's because of you that this kingdom blooms."
She smiled.
"Yes, they need to hang like the other ones. If we let even one of them live, they may break everything." "Princess, as always, your wisdom will save us."
  "You found the rune, I am glad. I want to share some truth with you before they find me.   Listen, whatever you have read about princess or what you have seen in the kingdom is not true. She is a Witch, a wolf in a sheep's clothing. Her people believe otherwise because her magic controls them. Her words, kindness, even age are all illusions she has created. Almost every day, those who show even the slightest antagonism towards her are either killed or taken away. I still don't know where. The bodies of the rebels are everywhere in the city, but no one sees them.   There is something in the food, water, maybe even the air, that warps everyone's memories and perception. Even those who visit our kingdom for a short time aren't safe from that effect.   She has been the ruler of Zetalph for the last hundred years. Her parents disappeared around 90 years ago. Somehow she found a way to prolong her own life. Maybe destroying the source of that would save us all.
Thank you for listening to my words, stranger. Keep safe."

Physical condition

Everything about her is screaming "frail".
She is a thin girl, with long thin limbs. It annoys her when people say that she still looks like a child.  

Facial features

Her eyes are big and curious. Above her full, light pink lips, she has a little snubbed nose.
There is a marking consisting of three purple dots under both of her eyes.  

Accomplishments

  • Establishing peace and new trade routes with the neighbors of Zetalph
  • Introducing the automatization to agricultural areas.
  • Creation of Color filters that balance the Colors in the area, making the soil more fertile and the humans healthier.
  • Designing new power sources fueled by filtered out Colors.
 

Religious views

Princess seems to be a very religious person. Every day, she visits the chapel, praying for the good future for her kingdom and her people.
Even though she takes the tenets of faith very seriously, she is very tolerant of those who believe in other gods.

RE strike ready. Target acquired. Fire at will.   I love how the two quotes and images are inversions of each other.   Question one, would an RE strike even do anything to her, considering there's a very high likelihood that she's a witch? Question two, if she does die, does that render the city uninhabitable due to oversaturation? Question three, if she does oversaturate the city when she dies, what color is it?

1. She's a Witch, so RE is sadly out.
2. If she dies within the city, then yes.
3. I haven't written about this yet (I have it on some images but forgot to mention it) but the colors can mix, and some Witches specialize in using two or three Colors at once. In her case, it would be Purple, mostly due to her hiding (Blue) the true danger (Red). Or showing (Blue) false safety (Red). She uses Black to deceive everyone.
