zulaea
Full title: Her Royal Highness Princess Zulaea of Thavenor
pronounced: zoo-lay-uh
she/her
Elf
5’7”, silvery kaleidoscope-y eyes, straight copper hair that’s long and thick, long pointed elf ears, tiny tooth gap
Has a valley girl accent with vocal fry, also has a slight lisp where her “s” becomes “sh”
Grew up in a small kingdom called Thavenor in a large valley between mountains. The population is primarily elves
Her mother, Othwen, had a very difficult pregnancy with Zulaea. Zu ended up being born prematurely and a rough first few weeks of life
A few years after she was born, it was prophesied that Zulaea would be taken by a dragon. As a result of this prophecy and the difficult pregnancy, her parents ended up being super protective
Zulaea couldn’t go anywhere without the accompaniment of armed guards and she was never permitted to leave the castle grounds. She got pretty good at escaping her guards, but the escape was always short-lived.Â
Her parents felt bad about how sheltered they felt Zulaea had to be for her own protection, and would give her anything she wanted (aside from leaving the castle grounds and going anywhere without armed guards). She grew very accustomed to getting anything she asked for and was very spoiled
Her two sisters and older brother are significantly older than she is, and she never got along with any of them. Her younger brother is closer in age but he was given a lot more freedom and Zulaea resented him for it
Any court lady that was introduced to Zulaea would eventually leave because she had no idea how to make friends and hated her parents trying to force her to have friends
Servants lived in fear of Zulaea and generally tried to avoid her. The only consistent and friendly figure in her life was her nursemaid/governess/whatever you want to call her. Her name is Pedweg and she’s maybe the only person Zulaea would mourn if something happened to her
Pedweg fostered Zulaea’s love of reading. She would read to Zulaea often when she was growing up. As Zulaea got older, she started stealing Pedweg’s novels for “adults” – basically a lot of erotica romancesÂ
Zulaea also learned archery and is very good at it. Also likes to paint and do crafts
Terrible™, bossy and demanding, doesn’t consider anyone else ever, very selfish, vain, entitled, low self-preservation skills, isn’t afraid of anything even when she should be, can be quite clever when it comes to manipulating people and situations but is often a ditz, materialisticÂ
Eventually the prophecy comes true and Zulaea is taken by a dragon (A2’s oc Dromme) but rather than get killed by the dragon as her parents assumed, Zulaea becomes his mate
She’s much happier with Dromme than she ever was at home but they are both terrible
