#oc: jadwiga of kaedwen

[aljordandraws]

There exists in Wyzim many paintings and portraits of Queen Jadwiga of Kaedwen. This one, dated c1245 depicts the Princess of Kaedwen during her betrothal to Prince Foltest of Temeria. Long before the tumultuous quest for an heir that only resulted in Arabella of Temeria began. Some scholars of the arts say you can see the sadness in her eyes even then in her ethereal portrait.

Artist news there's been recent major struggles with my health so I'm fist fighting fatigue behind a Wendy's parking lot to get this out. I hope y'all enjoy it. I want to Paint Sigi and Phil in this style now.

I dont think about modern aus often but it is three am and i have finally figured out modern au Arabella.

Foltest is from a rich and prominent family in Temeria. When he was young he married Jadwiga from a rich and prominent family due to "duty" and "protecting the family interests". He however says fuck that, starts a rock band, gets international fame, and his marriage publicly blows up in the spotlight. He takes their child in the divorce. Adda? Oh yeah that's from an affair at the very beginning of his touring days. He also gains custody of her after a long legal arbitration battle when shes fourteen.

Radobella you might ask? The hottest new press since he's the heir to a rich and powerful estate in Redania and there's already rumours from the way his sisters split from the family that there's abuse in the household. Now he's being seen out in public with the wild child of Temeria's wild child? You bet he is. This boy is 16 and has no comment and a stoic expression down cold.

The press absolutely LOSE it though when they're like "Radovid Radovid! Comment on the rumours that Arabella is dating Stennis?" And he just LAUGHS but quickly composes himself and says no comment.

AYYE it's been revealed.

If you wanna read about Jadwiga of Kaedwen, mother of Arabella, you can read Sweet as Cherry Wine on AO3. It takes place 3 years after her death from the perspectives of the men closest to her.

[windflowerofskellige]

Jadwiga of Kaedwen is a deeply problematic character steeped in abhorrent actions in a spiral in making her entire existence based around the expectation that she will marry and bare children.

Her Majesty The Queen resembled a brigand more than she resembled a noble woman.

Suddenly Vernon beamed at her. “Look outside,” he said softly, cradling her hand between his. Peering through the window of the carriage, Cirilla gasped. They were just drawing across the ridge, and beyond she could see white road winding across the hills. Sharp black basalt cliffs formed the background, overgrown and dotted with flowering bushes and trees. Where the capital had been grey and stormy when they departed, spring had already come to these hills. The burst of red and violet bushes in front of the black cliffs were marvelous, and the fragrance of them even made it past the windows of the carriage. “It’s beautiful…” Strong, warm hands squeezed hers. “The garden districts usually have an early spring, because the mountains shield them from the rough sea winds,” Vernon said.

HEY MARINA, CIRCUS IS IN SESSION! Thanks for following directions and coming to my side blog now I must ask, where is this set? I'm so confused, is this supposed to be Nilfgaard the city? Where am I right now Marina? Write your fic I guess I don't care I post Temerian and Redanian content for fun. Do you wanna hear about Radovid? Do you wanna hear about Foltest? Do you want to hear about my OCs? I can give you Jadwiga of Kaedwen, Queen of Temeria. Here you go!

Perhaps an Arabella? I fixed her face model for her mod so when I get Redkit working on my PC I think I'm going to see if outfit modding is any easier.

Maybe you'd like an Arabella hugging Roche because thats like a mentor type of scenario going on after her dad's death?

How may I perform for you in this circus session?
