#beautidine

beautidine likes walking around the palace and the palace grounds and looking at pretty things!!! she likes going to new places and meeting new people and making friends and having nice parties and stuff!

she wants to have a fun time with her friends and do things like sleepovers and tickle fights and stuff! unfortunately she doesnt have much else going on, but i'd imagine that if television or the internet existed on monsterworld, beau would probably watch my little pony and make fanfic and fanart and just absolutely adore all of the cutesy pastel graphics and colors and be horribly traumatized by bronies

some time ago when i wanted to write things more i made a writing blog and the only thing that i really used it for was beautidine, a naive monster princess in a pretty shit monster world and besides making a few monster characters for an eagle time thread ive also put some thought into the stories general flow but i like talking about things so let me give ya'll a basic rundown of monsterworld and i can get start begging for worldbuilding wednesdays or whatever

also i should note that im still gunna do rm things im just bad feels and writing is hard ha ha

--------------------------

Beautidine's world of monsters has five districts, Centrall (where she lives), Nyorth, Eest, Wehst, and Sougth. Other than Centrall, which is a melting pot of sorts, has more or less everything else distilled, each of the districts has its own subset of monsters along with an odd royal family gimmick.

So that brings us to Armaza, Princess of the Eest District. She is the only princess who, instead of keeping Beau as a neutral acquaintance, flat out hates the lovely wanna-be princess. There are a few reasons for this, a lot of it is personality conflicts, but something that doesn't help in the slightest is what happens when an Eest Princess becomes an Eest High Queen. You see, their right arm's flesh decomposes leaving the lucky ruler with a Skeletal Arm that holds the spirits of all of her ancestors. This is one reason why, despite being more than capable of the task, Armaza hasn't killed her mother yet. She really doesn't want to get a bunch of old crones all up in her head telling her what to do!

Armaza also hates Beau because deep down, she feels like Beau and her could have done something to make this sort of messed up system of succession less messed up? Armaza doesn't want to risk getting tainted by a bunch of her ancestors and she doesn't really want to keep up this cycle of violence, and she feels like, if Beau wasn't so focused on her very incompatible world-view, Beau would agree with her, and help her. That said, Armaza doesn't really confide in a lot of people. She thinks about it, but she always decides that no, it is better to Not, or No, they might betray me. It isn't ideal, but she feels like she has to if she wants to make Change happen, which she's super determined to try.

Physically, she, like most Eest residents, are equivalent to what we would call an undead monster. The real creature that is Armaza is an animated skeleton, mostly humanish, although there are some bits that aren't quite the same. All of the different bones can move in any direction with all of the flexibility ever. Her skeleton body is covered up by another, fleshy, patchworky body with stich-like markings. The flesh can be removed up to a point, but at least some of it has to stay connected to her or else it will hurt a lot. The end result is that she's super lanky and that you can only barely tell that she's got flesh at all. Which is probably why she wears a bandanna on her head and clothes, although if you asked her she'd probably say because it is practical.

wso for pokemon y im going to play as Beautidine going on a super great pokemon adventure so i thought a bit about other princesses because rivals

so the way that Centrall District's hierarchy is means that theres only ever one princess and one queen and one of the other District Princess really envy's that scenario because 1) she's already stronger than her parentage 2) her family has a weird sort of immortality where they die but get to harass their progeny for generations and generations to come! HOW FUN! She feels Eest.

what this means is that i guess all five Districts (Centrall, Eest, Wehst, Sougth, and Nyorth) have weirdy succession systems or other things added on to them! the central rule of succession though is still that the child kills the current ruler so this is going to be fun to think about~

so Princess Eest, is PROBABLY the only one who outright hates Beau for being so weak despite her Pretty Easy Situation (as /she/ had to not only outpower her mother, but also outsmart GENERATIONS of rulers)

Eest is probablymostly full undead types of creatures in that case. lets see lets see

The mark of the ruler of the Eest High Queen is her Skeletal Arm, something passed down upon their ascension to the throne. it is what holds all of the ancestral knowledge (and spirits) Eest knows this and it is why she hasn't killed her mother yet. she's not really looking forward to losing one of her hands, although it's sorta inevitable.

so she's a lot of things that beau isn't cunning, smart, ambitious, and in a lot of ways she's similar in that they both more or less want to escape this whole cycle of violence that their society insists on? like when you get down to it the point of beau is that at one point she's going to have to grow up and face the fact that either she dies, tries to change the way things are, or accepts it and kills her mom and follow her legacy. this princess has already done the growing up and wants to change how things are and she hates beau because if she wasnt so childish she /could/ do something?? and because of the ancestor thing, anything that /she/ tries to do will be tainted by a bunch of thoughts that arent hers.

so this means that she has a skeleton so she's probably some sort of carcass of flesh that just moves and doesnt make any biological sense. she's probably human shaped but is probably a bit gooey and maybe since there isnt really a biological system behind it her flesh is super flexible and malleable?

oh i've got it, she's technically an animated skeleton but she has flesh all over her, so the flesh can move however the skeleton can, which is basically wherever, and some of the flesh can come off and stuff. this means that she doesnt have eyes or ears or hair, her head is just a bunch of flesh although she wears a bandanna on her head and clothes because she feels better with them (although she says that this is more PRACTICAL, which is only really true for the shoes). she's probably green and blue mostly, probably both, in patches. super lanky obviously.

now she just needs a name... *types skeleton into google translate. clicks spanish. oh oh yeah*

Armaza

I'm going to answer the job one first; she couldn't TRY to get another job really. Monsters have very little choice in their future in Centrall, they do what they can do best and how much they want to doesn't matter as much! If you are a monster who is suited to doing strong man things that is what you are going to do! By that logic the best thing for her would be... a maid...

Beautidine doesn't have a father, she only has her mother, the Centrall High Queen, who rules with an iron fist and is very okay with the what her daughter is doing. In her opinion living is well worth the embarrassment the other High Queens give her, but... she does half-heartedly wish that the eventual fight with her would be a challenge and she does purposely send her to more dangerous countries, but at the end of the day she's just waiting for beau to die so she can just spawn another child who will hopefully keep the matricide game fresh and not stagnant. The High Queen is enjoying what free time she has.

IF SHE HAD NORMAL PARENTS THOUGH, they would probably worry a little because while I don't have Beau set to a normal human age, it would probably be around whichever teen years the princess and doll stuff starts to be looked down on?

Beautidine doesn't really have any normal friends, no. Most of the regular staff in the castle enjoy her presence, and like her as she is and don't really want to crush her world-view, but that also means that they just listen to what she says and help her out on some things, they don't really talk about their lives or give heavy opinions, (not even in a 'if i may say'), so they don't really give a lot in that direction.

Teaching and noble-r staff is A Lot worse and they are the ones who try to take advantage of her condition for politics. They act super nice to her but they are basically all unilaterally shit. They don't care about her or her dreams and all they do is trick her or tolerate her or just let her do whatever. Sometimes they bring their kids to play with her.

Anyone her age enjoys her presence, for the most part, but because of her mother and the reason why they are there they don't really share much or do anything other than act as faithful companions to her. None of them really like their situation, even if Beau makes them feel a bit more comfortable than they would otherwise, but they can't/don't feel like doing anything to the situation.

Other District Princesses usually include her like they would any other but they aren't really friends in any sense? They are all really just trying to find weak parts in each other and who is the strongest and weakest so they Know when their time comes and stuff. For the most part though, they never really do anything /bad/ to her.

MONSTER STUFF IN GENERAL WOO

Okay so she eats but eating is weird and not all the same for monsters. The way that Beautidine eats is that she grabs something with her tentacles and pulls it into the opening on the back of her body where all of the appendages come out of.

She doesn't have a sense of taste and that is a General District Princess thing, although that doesn't stop her from only eating Nice Things, which is okay because District Princesses and High Queens don't eat any of the tasteless nutrient paste or whatever that most of the populi gets, taste buds or no taste buds.

Yes, Beautidine can can walk on walls and ceilings and cling to them but that is not the majority! Her room is specifically made difficult to get to though, along with a few other places around her home.

Most buildings look kind of normal though? Like some are adjusted to match the different sizes or lack of arms but other than that you've got pretty humany buildings, dependent on which district you live in. The Centrall District is a pretty boring and dark looking cityscape with skyscrapers and the dark and foreboding Centrall Palace at the very center. There are slums and all kinds of bad things everywhere and monsters don't have a great time.

She doesn't really have any powers that other District Princesses don't have.

I'M GOING TO USE THIS AS A SPRINGBOARD FOR TALKING ABOUT WHAT THAT IS.

This consists of her tentacle things being able to do whatever they want in terms of stretching and moving and such, her footie appendages being able to move however they want, and the substance they emit that allows them to alter the general public monsters' emotions to think favorably of her.

The substance thing is either across all District Princesses or just to the Centrall District Princesses? Either way Beautidine doesn't really purposely urge other people to like her that's just what (at least) her family does. While the limits of intelligence and proximity are the same, all across the board, Beau's abnormal in that she has more limits, her thing is weaker if there is someone who has a Seriously Different tone/set of mind, like if they were someone Bad or someone really depressive who just wouldn't work with her saccharine view of the world. The upside of this though is that if you don't fall into that it is a lot easier for you to 'get' what she means because of how the control thing works.
