Princess Mary of Coimeádach

Princess Mary Elizabeth Gladstone

Overview


Princess Mary is the third daughter of King Jonathan V of The Kingdom of Coimeádach. A few years following The First Great Dynastic Shift of Éirigh, her father struck up a deal with Prince Finnlay Slánaitheoir, which involved Mary's tentative betrothal to the Prince should he succeed in winning back his kingdom. If this comes to pass, the kingdoms would be tied together in a peace forged through their united bloodlines. Mary, much enamored of the mysterious lad, was quite happy with the arrangement, and is known to urge her father to act on Finn's behalf.

As the third daughter of the King, she does not garner much attention, but that suits her just fine. She is a bit of a summer child, and loves nothing more than spending her days surrounded by nature with a book of poetry in her hands. Some might classify her as a romantic type, for the level of care she shows to anyone that gets to know her. But despite her positive demeanor and happy life, she is often lonely, and longs for companionship, adventure, and a life beyond her father's carefully cultivated Palace walls.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics


Hazel eyes filled with curiosity and kindness. The kind of gaze that will swallow you whole, drink you in until there is nothing but the two of you left. A beautiful, bright laugh that you can't help but catch. She radiates sunbeams even on cloudy days, somehow always lit with that perfect golden hour glow. Look for the ingenue with flowers in her hair, you can't miss her.

Physical quirks


Her nose crinkles in the most adorable fashion when she laughs, which is often. She is usually found with her hands folded neatly in her lap, staring off toward the gardens or the open sky.

Apparel & Accessories


She is usually dressed in fine clothes, pale cream in color and adorned with stunning embroidery. A small silver crown rests atop her head, and she would feel naked without a few flowers tucked into the regal plaiting of her hair.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation


To please her father, and find freedom in the less conservative kingdom of her betrothed.

Savvies & Ineptitudes


She is the kindest and most gracious woman you will ever meet, speaks with all the eloquence expected of her stature, and has a way with animals. Many call her a natural peacemaker. However, she can often come across as naive, as her upbringing has left her oblivious to what real life is like for most of her subjects.

Hobbies & Pets

Speech


High, gentle, and light as a summer breeze.

Did you have a real-life person in mind, when describing her characteristics? It's filled with a beautiful and gentle emotion, as much as you lived in that palace for a long time, looking for the flower in her hair or walking the gardens just to hear her sing or laugh.   If not, you made me feel that way. :]

Oh wow, thank you so much <3 I didn't, actually, but she's been in my head for about 7 years now, so I guess she's pretty real to me these days. :)

I feel as though Finn might have been in your head when you were describing her characteristics. Unless he doesn't like her as much as she likes him, in which case, who knows? :D Really beautiful language there.   I like the sound of her a lot. I hope her dreams come true.

I quite enjoy how you do these character profiles - I always have trouble with physical descriptions, myself, and yours flow so elegantly.

That's so kind ^_^ I know my characters better than anything else in this world, and it's always much easier for me to switch into prose with them than more logistical features of the world.
