❝ I'm named after my mother's mother, you see. But one of the meanings of my name is blind. ❞ It's said with a wry smile, gesturing flippantly towards her bad eye, with its shrunken iris and lack of movement.

❝ There were people who used to say that I was somehow cursed. ❞ She can laugh about it now, years beyond when she had first heard the whispers. ❝ Not only am I ... imperfect, but I will never be a son. ❞

Cecily is very sheltered and shy but she has a very bad temper if you get her worked up

[crowndaughter-a]

Cecily has dozens of small scars on her hands, from when her captor-husband, Prince Ilyas, forced her to crush nettles and weave with them for his own amusement.

[crowndaughter-a]

I know I said this was being made into a royalty multi but I’ve changed my mind (at least for now), the Cecily brainrot is too real

[crowndaughter-a]

Cecily, as an only child, often felt very lonely and was prone to a wolf imagination. When she was young, she used to pretend that the swans who lived in the river near the castle were actually her brothers, somehow cursed by a wicked fairy.

character development questions: how does cecily display affection ? how does she see herself ?

Cecily displays affection via physical touch. And she sees herself... not as either ugly or beautiful, but plain. Ordinary. (But she knows that, politically, she is a valuable bargaining piece on the marriage market, and she is most likely to be married for her position, not her looks).

[crowndaughter-a]

PLEASE send me character development questions.

I love to get insightful about my character and to ramble on them. Ask me about their habits, thoughts, relationships! Go as deep and complex as you like! And send as many as you like so loads.

i thought you ladies were taught to dance. ( from vali )

❝ Most ladies are, ❞ Cecily quips, cheeks flushing rosy at the reminder -- Her lack of skill at such a commonplace task is well-known, not to mention a point of embarrassment.

❝ But I have never had balance enough to be graceful. My poor dancing master despaired of me. ❞ She forces a soft laugh, as if it doesn't bother her. ❝ He said it was like trying to teach a particularly-clumsy ox. ❞
