FOR CROWN AND GLORY || MELISANDE FABRE

[MELISANDE FABRE]

[atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][classy=bg] FRIE NDS [classy=urtext]Melisande confides solely in her Guardian. Due to the King's intensely possessive nature, she doesn't have many opportunities to foster friendships with others. Especially not other men. This doesn't seem to bother her as much as one might assume however, if only because her court subjects are generally born and bred liars, and certainly not people she would dare trust with any of her closely-guarded secrets. Still, she does tend to gravitate towards other intellects and the rare individual that is honest and hardworking. Otherwise, she tends to shy away from other people and isolates herself in the palace library or garden. She shares the closest bond with her children, though a few of them don't necessarily reciprocate her affection. She is also notoriously kind to her servants and ladies-in-waiting.[/classy][/classy]

[atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][classy=bg2] ENE MIES [classy=urtext]Sadly, she is forced to consider most anyone her enemy. Every individual at Court maintains some kind of ulterior motive or ill-intent towards the Royal family. That is how politics function after all. Hers is a world built on lies and deceit. However, her greatest enemy is undoubtedly the King himself, who keeps her as little more than a prisoner within the castle. Since her coronation, both she and her husband have been targets of numerous death threats and assassination attempts. Unfortunately they are unable to keep tabs on everyone that have jeopardized their safety and well-being in some way, and therefore must take extra precautions to ensure the security of their family. Ultimately, this means treating everyone - regardless of their status - with suspicion.[/classy][/classy]

[atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][classy=bg3] LOV ERS [classy=urtext]There was a time when Melisande had sincerely loved and adored her husband, the King. Unfortunately, since his transformation into the power-hungry tyrant he is today, their marriage has fallen apart and - as a result of this - the lady Melisande has committed countless acts of infidelity. One instance of which Lukas has been made aware of. She tends to find solace in the arms of her King's Guardian, however there have been other occasions where she has taken lesser nobility or even servants into bed with her. It simply depends on the connection they establish. Also, it should be known to anyone interested in romantically pursuing the Queen, that she does use her empathy ability to screen certain individuals. This is to separate those with genuine affections for her, from those who wish to expose her secrets and do her harm. [/classy][/classy]

[Aiden Kael Fabre]

Melisande&&Aiden

Aiden loves his dear mother. I think he would spend a lot of time with her, talking to her about how his day was and the goings on around the kingdom. I think that he maybe be able to pick up traces of sadness in her face, and all he wants is to make her happy. Eventually, after finding out the King isn't his father, he will stand up to Lukas, and probably a lot of his reason to do so will be for his mother. Let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas.

He's very much like her, in the respect that he's responsible and mature. And it's obvious that - despite being fathered by someone that is not the King - he also takes after his mother in his physical appearance. She'd share a particularly close bond with him, and secretly encourage his outings and intermingling with the common folk. After all, she was a commoner herself before she was made Queen! I think she would have had a lot of influence in his tolerance towards those of a lower rank, and would openly defend his behavior against Lukas' wrath.[/classy][/style]

[caeius fabre]

[atrb=width,400,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,10,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true] CAEIUS & Melisande Caeius both loves and dislikes this woman. As detailed in his history, Melisande wasn’t the person to tell him that she wasn’t hi biological mother and he in fact overheard it from family acquaintances. He adores the woman and might have been a little clingy when he was a child but after that discovery he’d have let her know that he’d been informed and had distanced from her since then. So now he loves her because she’s been the largest positive influence in his life but resents her for keeping secrets from him. His interactions with her will be strained; he’ll probably act very stiff and polite. He would do anything for her but he also doesn’t completely trust her anymore. made by cake

She intentionally went out of her way to plead with her husband to spare the boy his wrath, and did all she could to raise Caeius as though he were her biological son. As though to make up for Lukas' casual dismissal of Caeius and his existence, she swore to love him twice as much as any mother could. Unfortunately, he developed a resentment towards her the moment he discovered he was not truly her son as he'd been made to believe. There is an emotional rift between them now, and although Melisande wants nothing more than to earn back his trust, she fears that it will take much time and patience. He simply isn't ready to forgive her. She understands that. She only wishes he could understand that her entire reason for lying to him, was to protect him. I think you're right in assuming any interaction between them will be exceedingly formal and awkward. I'm excited to see them interact regardless. The dynamic between the Queen and the only child that is not biologically hers would be interesting![/classy][/style]

[Klaus Cither]

KLAUS & MELISANDE I thought they could get along. He can give her a heads-up on how Caeius is doing since he looks after him, and Klaus himself doesn't have a mother figure—she seems kind enough to take him on as something of a surrogate son, if a distant one. Perhaps she's always tried to be nicer to him, because he was raised as more of a soldier than a child from a young age? Either or, I can see him coming to her for advice. They have similar personalities. He trusts her judgment, and he knows she genuinely cares about her country and its people.

Outside of that: Melisande wants to kill the king, right? Well, I was thinking maybe Klaus could get involved with this—he would agree with it, and as an idealist, he wants to see the dictator silenced without a bloody struggle for revolution. Melisande agrees, yes? Her children will become political pawns if the king dies suddenly, not to mention the country is ripe for war, and neither of them want to see that unfold. I think he's desperate in his own ways: he worries, and has probably told her, that Caeius is starting to do dangerous things he can't easily deter. Besides, rebels are terrorists, and they will act like terrorists if given the chance. It isn't prudent to rely on them.

So I imagine we could discuss having the King poisoned. "Illness" won't get the people riled up. (Or try to. A discovered assassination attempt is always pretty interesting, if nicely horrifying.) Poison works because it's largely undetectable and Klaus has the freedom to leave the palace unlike the Queen; as a Guardian, he'll go unsuspected. He can orchestrate the attempt from outside the palace better and he would be willing to be the scapegoat for her if he was discovered. Further, he's loyal enough to support her Majesty's taking the kingdom—the rebels can't trust the Queen thanks to her position, but Klaus does. In his mind, she's the obvious best choice for monarch: compassionate, empathetic, experienced, intelligent, charming, and wickedly capable. If anyone can guide the kingdom, it would be Melisande, and so he's fine with putting himself at risk if the whole of the country might benefit from it. I can see him at least suggesting she try drumming secret support for her own reign, and offering to help her.

Um, sound okay? Absolutely not? Or anything to add? Sorry, it got long, but the concept sounded interesting . . . See, I lurk things, and Melisande is a badass queen who should get her chance to shine . . . /just thought it could be an idea . . .

[Damien Bael]

MELISANDE&&DAMIEN

HEY BABY!

Right so lover we need to have a talk. Melisande has shown an interest in killing her husband, well Damien would like for that to happen but he still has to protect him so he is torn between what to do plus I don't think Damien even KNOWS about Melisande's intent so whether or not she wants to tell him is completely up to you. He loves Melisande very much so he might be shocked at first from hearing her intents and he might not be all for it, but he will support her as best as he can while still playing the role of Guardian.

And what? Sleeping with other servants? Baby you hurt me so. But its alright Damien has slept with other women just to keep cover so Damien won't hold it against you ;D Speaking a sleeping together, it rather risky for them to do so, so I'm thinking they meet in private once or twice a week if they can. Sometimes its sex, sometimes its just cuddling or spending time together, I can very much imagine them doing that.

What's some of your plots?
