On tour with Vivi: The Duchess of Laye makes her stunning debut on the international stage with her Maritrean tour

The Duke and Duchess of Laye wrapped up their first international tour on May 20th. With more than 20 planned engagements in five countries in just nine days, the pressure was on for the Duchess’s style team.

“Dressing for a tour would have been a new challenge,” said former royal stylist Katarina Lynx. “A tour involves more logistical considerations than domestic engagements. IF you’re popping down to the clinic to visit patients, you can send someone back for a change of shoes. On tour, you don’t have that option.”

Throughout the tour, Vivi struck the perfect balance between royal polish and unbothered ease. She chose seasonally appropriate sleeveless and short-sleeved dresses for her springtime tour, favoring lighter fabrics and and pastel tones like lavender and lilac. The Duchess played princess with full skirts and structured bodices. Several of her looks featured sweet puff sleeves, echoing her iconic bridal gown, while breezy blowouts and understated makeup looks kept her youthful and not overdone or fussy.

HELLO! I just shared 25 so I'll do 11 and 12!

Hello, I talked about a lot of that stuff in a previous answer I got! But yes, there are a lot of foreign alliances that are basically just like the ones that exist IRL (since my story is basically set in a parallel world similar to our own).

When I got back from the beach Monday evening, I brought back like... 7 pounds of fudge with me and most of that fudge was chocolate and peanut butter and/or had peanut butter in it somehow. There were only three pieces that didn't and they were either birthday cake flavored or cookie monster.

I was able to identify a doll at a thrift store that wasn't in box simply off of her body shape, face mold and dress based off a commercial I had seen for her only a couple times

20. Does your OC have a tendency to get jealous? If so, how does this manifest?

Jacques is very jealous (citation: 1, 2, 3). In these instances, his jealousy manifests as hostility and cruelty toward his wife, and two of those responses have included violence or the threat of it. One thing that I want to point out is that anger isn't really part of it. He is very calm when he's making threats and throwing the shoe is a considered response, something he does after realizing that he doesn't have a good rebuttal for Vivi's argument. He isn't losing his temper. He isn't losing control. His violent words and actions are always calm and measured. This is much worse than the alternative.

15. Does your OC have a faceclaim? If so, who?

All of the actresses (Sarah Snook, Olivia Colman) I'd name for Roz are too old to play her. Clearly, we need to skip ahead and get to her milf era. This girl has no business being 27 when she was obviously born to be somewhere north of 35 and extremely foxy.

22. What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?

In the current moment: Roz is Lawful Neutral, Freddy is Neutral Good, Jacques is Neutral Evil, Elise is Lawful Good, and Andre is True Neutral. Mary, Emily, and Vivi are both True Neutral, but Theo is probably Lawful Good.
