Make me Think - Not Accepting
📊 - How does your muse feel about the state of the world? Could it be better? Could it be worse?
Tosay Iracebeth is a pessimist is both unnecessary and an understatement. Perhapsit’s more accurate to say that she has no faith in the state of humanity, butconsidering that her dominion is more concerned with its sentient subjects, it’sthe one which she thinks of most often. She hates it, she hates almost everyoneunder her reign. She hates having to sort out their petty problems, hearingtheir concerns. If it can’t be solved without a decree or new law, it isn’t worthbothering with. In fact, if she digs deep enough, she’s able to understand thatshe really shouldn’t have been forced into being queen, but she can’t back outwithout being deeply humiliated.
However, she does have a strange relationship with Underland’s culture.As much as she hates her people, she is as deeply immersed in Underlandianculture and perhaps more importantly religion as she could be. The first warshe fought as a queen was not against her own people, not even against Mirana,but against those neighboring countries which saw a new monarch as chiefopportunity to invade. That she fought as ferociously and tactically as she didis the reason she was grudgingly accepted by Underland; as long as her husbandkept her temper at her own people, they were safe under her hand.
🍟 - How does your muse feel about their body? Would they change it if they could?
Haaaaaaa you get the gold star today for the best question. Despite herpomp and insistence that she believes herself beautiful, she knows she’s ugly.It runs deeply in her, first ingrained by her parents and then by everydoubletake, every second glance, smirk, and unexplained chuckle afterwards. Shehates the way she looks. Her clothes are gaudy, her makeup overdone for thisreason. She would change her appearance in a millisecond, damn theconsequences. Outwardly, in fact, she blames her appearance for most of herproblems. In reality, her appearance – or rather, others’ reactions to it –didn’t help, but she probably would have ended up on the same path regardless.
Theonly exception to this is her hair. She is very proud of her curls, theirnatural color and texture. It reaches her knees if she lets it down, whichprobably doesn’t help her headaches, but she’s too stubborn to cut them.
