Personal history

Twilight was born to Valda and Lorcan Alary in 1981, in Avross, The Hylands. Due to the level of peace in The Hylands at the time, her parents were able to be as invested in her childhood as they wanted to be, and they took that opportunity to homeschool her and include her in less important political meetings.
When Twilight was ten, her parents sent her four younger siblings to Earth where they would be out of reach of King Julen Andromeda, who was threatening them and the peace in The Hylands. Twilight was kept behind, but her guard was increased threefold and her parents grew busier, planning ways to keep The Hylands safe from King Julen. Twilight's education from that point forward mainly came from private tutors and the head craftsmen in the castle. She developed a particular fondness for cooking and baking from the castle cooks.
Throughout her childhood and teen years, Twilight got to know Fogg Canty, the Dewin-in-training who was frequently near the castle, and he's her closest friend. She also became close friends with Shael Burke, son of one of the castle's butlers and someone who shares Twilight's love for astronomy.

Education

She was taught in the castle by her parents until she was ten, supplemented by specialists around the castle. After that, she was taught by private tutors. She learned basic household skills as well as political skills, and her education is very well-rounded.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

She's motivated primarily by the desire to help others and seeks to learn as much as she can about governing so that she can most effectively use her future role as queen for the good of her people.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

She's good at baking, dancing, singing, diplomacy, piano, archery, and chess.

Virtues & Personality perks

Hospitable, compassionate, generous, eager to help, dependable, loyal

Vices & Personality flaws

Insecure, tends to give too much of herself, can be nosy

Social

Contacts & Relations

She's friends with Shael Burke, a junior astronomer in the castle.
She's also good friends with Fogg Canty, the Dewin-in-training, and with his mentor Tarron Wayfold.

Family Ties

Twilight trusts her father, Lorcan, completely and goes to him about almost everything. The two of them spend a lot of time together, often working together in the garden. Lorcan is Twilight's primary example of generosity and hospitality, and she seeks to be like him as she grows up.
Twilight is much closer to Valda than any of her siblings are, but there's still a distance between them. While Twilight trusts her mother completely, she's never felt fully understood by Valda and usually prefers to talk to Lorcan. Twilight and Valda mostly discuss politics, and Twilight has learned much of what she knows about governance from her mother.
When the Elfbournes return to The Hylands, Twilight and Elk have an interesting relationship. Twilight is used to being an only child, at that point, but wants to connect with her younger siblings and be a role model for them, while Elk is used to being the oldest and taking care of his younger siblings. There's no tension between Twilight and Elk, since Twilight often stands back and lets him continue to lead to avoid any conflict, but Twilight finds it difficult to find where she fits in with her siblings. She and Elk end up getting along just fine, but Twilight never feels completely comfortable with him as she tries to balance their ages with their roles.
Twilight and Sarabrina hit it off immediately, finding right away that they share passions both for reading and for astronomy. They spend a lot of time together as they're getting reacquainted, and Twilight is the one to introduce Sarabrina to her close friend Shael Burke. The sisters enjoy studying together and Twilight takes every opportunity to make Sarabrina welcome and help her learn what she needs to learn about The Hylands.
Leafman despises Twilight almost from the time they meet, and Twilight struggles to figure out what he has against her and how to fix their relationship. It takes several months for them to smooth out their relationship, and in the meantime Twilight feels terrible that she can't connect with her little brother.
Saria, on the other hand, warms up to Twilight immediately and looks up to her from their first meeting. Twilight helps Saria learn about The Hylands, and does her best to be a good role model to her youngest sister, and the two frequently go horseback riding together.

Religious Views

She's strongly Athairan.

Social Aptitude

She has extremely polished manners and she's good at knowing what to say, but she can often come across as overly polished and snobbish. Though she likes people just fine, she's an introvert so she tends to burn out on people quickly. Still, she's very confident in her social skills.
When she warms up to people, she becomes warmer and softer and worries less about sounding "right." She becomes more herself, and she's one of the friendliest and most encouraging people you'll encounter.

Hobbies & Pets

She enjoys baking, reading, playing piano, singing, archery, and playing chess.
She has a black mare.

History

Twilight and Shael were acquaintances from the time they were born, but it wasn't until they were about five that they started to become friends. They were both already avid readers, and as they got older they found that they also loved stargazing. The two are always eager to encourage each others' passions, study together, and they still spend evenings in the observatory together. Twilight used her wealth as a princess to buy Shael hard-to-get birthday gifts from Remera, including a state-of-the-art telescope and a wristwatch, and she plans to fund his mission to space for as long as he needs.
As Twilight's duties to her kingdom have sucked up a lot of her time, she and Shael haven't stayed as close as they were as children, but they're still always there for each other.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

They're both passionate about learning, reading, and astronomy.
