Marianne de Hyrule

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
If people are food, then Marianne is definitely one made from cream and lots of sugar! Polite and peaceful, she is a sweet young lady in her heart and her mannerisms. Sure, she can be feisty and stubborn sometimes, but it is always because she care a lot of the other person. Never fitting the word ‘dignified’, she is a little childish for her age and oftentimes very naïve in her worldview, although she makes it up with her incredible intelligence. This studious side of her can make her somewhat intimidating sometimes. But then, her smile and heartfelt kindness never fail to dissipate any clouds. Watch out for her when she is in her playful mode, though. You might be the next victim of her elaborate pranks![break][break]
Recent events however, has changed Marianne a little. As her responsibility to the Kingdom grew with the death of her parents and the ascension of her half-brother, Marianne forced herself to adapt. She does not lose her innate sweetness and naivety, nor does her kindness diminished, but she has indeed become more forceful and confident in her dealings. Some may even accuse her of becoming slightly more ruthless, but whatever happens Marianne always has the best interest of her kingdom and her people in her heart.[break][break]
But now that her half-brother has abdicated on his own accord and left the crown and the kingdom to Marianne, she has become even more brooding and serious than before. It seems that her taciturn and withdrawn tendencies as a child, of which she had mostly grown out of in her teenage years, are once again coming to the fore because of the stress and work overload she subjects herself into in the name of ruling her kingdom. She still has her heartwarming and playful moments -her hobby to prank others is still there for sure- but they are getting few and far between. She is also more prone to tears now though she won't let anyone know it. She is a hardworker, but whether pushing herself to her limit is a good thing or not remains to be seen.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Marianne has a thin Gerudo blood in her, and it shows in her lithe physique and natural red marks on her otherwise black hair. This hair she always keeps short in memory of her father, who had shoulder length hair just like hers. With grey eyes, intelligent face, and her propensity to wear hood she looks the part of someone who can be find rummaging around in old ruins, and this is precisely what she likes doing. She is considered small for her age, and a little lagging behind in growth department especially if compared to her older half-sister. But this is a sensitive spot, because Marianne likes to imagine herself as an exquisite princess so steer away from this topic.[break][break]
When rummaging through the castle’s storage she found a foldable scythe which she carried with her since. She dislikes being seen with it, though, as it is a little scary to behold. It's not like she is some sort of warrior who has to battle grim monsters daily, after all. She is a Princess! Now though, it seems that she has ditched it completely.[break][break]
In recent times, she has taken to use bow and arrows more frequently. She is in no way a good shot, but she is at least passable enough do defend herself should she ever comes to personal danger. Over time, she has become proficient enough to be given her own bow: Setmeni, The Nightfall Bow. She has also inherited a weapon from House Tenmei, the house of her grandmother from her mother's side: Svitani, The Sunrise Sword.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]

Marianne’s birth was an impassioned and fiery whirlwind of affairs. The stage was The Great Desert Disturbance. A large force of monsters lead by one The Beast was pouring out Gerudo Desert and wrecked havoc in the three of five provinces. Her father, a dashing general of Gerudo descent. Her mother, the Queen of Hyrule of the Holy Lineage. The situation was the most energetic monster activity seen up until that time. Hyrule forces were sent to control the situation in the Desert along with the Gerudo tribes, necessitating frequent visits from the Garrison general to the castle for military affairs. One such visits required him to wait for the King in the Courtyard of Roses. And thus they met as Nayru’s Roses bloomed that year. [break][break]
In a night of crescent moon, Marianne was born. Her father died in a revenge ambush the next day, the very next day he had scored his greatest victory by obliterating The Beast's Horde. Along with him went half of his famed Hylian Redwings battalion he refused to leave behind. To this day its members still commemorated how their commander prevented them from being wiped out due to his brilliant strategy. He died a Hylian Hero. And an Absent Father.[break][break]
It was impossible to keep secrets in the Castle, but without a Father Marianne had nowhere else to live. It was hard, at first. Her half-siblings were rather conceited children. Always superior. Always better than commoners. Always… legitimate. Though recognized as a Princess, Marianne tried hard to always tiptoe in the background. Never too visible. Never disappear completely either. The little girl was content just by being allowed to stay, mindful of her own position. Cruel whispers were heard by the young princess and she was even shunned and mistreated by her noble children peers, without her knowing why. Thus, she was accustomed to hard work and solitude since she was little. She read. She took lessons. She trained in magic. She recited poetry. She learned to dance; to curtsy; to hold herself in proper table manners. She painfully strove herself to be seen an average royal child: never too bright, not an embarrassment, either; though in reality she was a child of rare brilliance.[break][break]
Then one occasion with a new dress and her insatiable curiosity to peek at the beautiful girl combing her golden hair led to her most cherished relationship. Though her half-sister, she loved Marianne like a real sister, which led Marianne to reciprocate in turn. Many days went by with them telling each other stories and picking flowers for their impromptu tea party. They ate together and took baths together, sometimes even slept in one bed. Marianne loved nothing more than her older sister combing her hair and repeatedly whining about how her short hair left little for style. Even now they still do it sometimes, during the rare moment when they were allowed to be children again.[break][break]
As her siblings grew older, they started to be absent from court life. The brother went to military. The sister’s mysterious visits became more and more frequent. Thus, maybe because she was the only child left, the Royal Couple started to pamper Marianne more than before. Though saddened by her loneliness and missing her older sister so much, she did enjoy the newfound attention she was given. She grew exponentially in her studies and confidence, gradually becoming more open and fun-loving. At one point that she dared to declare her intention to be a Royal Patron for the Hyrule Royal Academy to the King and Queen. Their blessing was happily given, and thus the young Princess officially became a member of Academia.[break][break]
Recent years has been especially kind to Marianne. If only her older sister would stay more frequently in the castle….
[break][break]
Alas, it was merely a dream. A string of tragedies hit the kingdom with vengeance and almost bring it down to heels. With iron will Marianne and her siblings has managed to hold the kingdom together, but everyone knows it is only a matter of time before the state of affairs takes its toll at Marianne....
