Which muse has the most interesting backstory?

Multimuse questions

((Oh, this is actually a hard one!

In terms of how fleshed out my muses are, that would be Tim, Daan, and Ruben. However, the most interesting one makes Jaitze come into play, as well as Floris, purely because of their history and how their people do not feel Dutch at all.

In fact, think of Friesland as the Bavaria or the Catalonia of The Netherlands. They came from the Frisii and not the Franks or the Saxonians for example, and have an unhealthy hatred towards anything Hollands, so much so that they pretend their own capital city is not Frisian because they became 'too Hollands'.

And Limburg got taken over and overthrown by so many neighbouring countries, they started having the sentiment of "Whatever, we're just Limburgs." Even after the province was made [with the split between Belgian Limburg and Dutch Limburg], Prussia literally stole the Dutch part for a 20-odd years period.

But also Liesje, she used to be a strong pirate captain back in the days with an all-women's crew, wild and violent, but took a 180 and became a very devout Christian with bad theology.

It's very hard for me to pick one! :D ))
