#aveth

Aveth is the only Queen dancer in the troupe. Queen ballerinas are rare, and just that fact makes her significantly more valuable than the other dancers. Because of that, she gets away with way more than a regular worker can ever allow themselves, and has privileges that others don't have.

Those privileges didn't make her arrogant though. Aveth is pretty down to earth and straightforward, and likes to help out others if she can. But sometimes she can be quite careless. Too careless for her own good sometimes.

Curtius is the one who's always there to keep her out of trouble. He is the exact opposite of Aveth.

Most of all he values hard work, discipline and diligence, and holds himself up to very high standards.

Yes and yes.

Performers at the Palace are required to endure heavy physical exertion. Besides Queens being generally rare and expensive, they're also not considered as indurant as Workers. Most Queens are either used for reproduction, or if they can't, serve as just pretty companions for rich people and don't really have to do any physical work.

So, actual females are very rere in professional ballet. That makes Aveth a valuable exception.

Because of that she has some privileges, and trainers will often close their eyes on her misdeeds. They will allow her to slack off or break the rules that Worker dancers would be punished way more harshly for. But sometimes she tests the limits a little too much and gets in trouble.
