She is the cousin and constant companion of the King’s only daughter, acting as friend, handmaiden and confidante.

Her position alongside the princess is controversial at best, hated at worst. Many a noble family would move heaven and earth for their daughter to be the lady-in-waiting to the princess, and most cannot understand why a girl of such lowly status holds such a lofty position.

She counts herself fortunate given the scandal surrounding her birth. She may have royal blood, but it counts for little. However, the royal family welcomed her from a young age where she and the princess grew up like sisters, much to the dismay of many members of the court.

Currently being schooled far from the capitol, their safe haven may not be so safe for much longer. She is young, barely fifteen, but she must find the courage to survive and protect the princess as the realm descends into chaos.
