Hope everyone's been doing exceptionally! I successfully moved into my new apartment over the weekend and have been settling in since. I'm still undergoing a revamp on this account (along with my other pages, namely Snow White which featured a URL change, Cinderella, and Ariel- whose URL change is yet to come), so it'll be a little more quiet, but I'm still active and am planning a few things that'll be exciting soon! Again, feel free to message me at any point- I'm still open to plotting and communicating OOC! I might be a little slower at this time, with all the changes going on in my life, but Aurora is still alive and well 🥰

The christening that marks the beginning of Aurora's story commences a week after she is born, to the day.

A July Leo, the little Princess arrives into the world at the height of a flourishing summer heat, when the golden sun is at its most brilliant. Her mother was a deeply spiritual woman, a quality Aurora would inherit from her, and considered the strong daylight to be a good omen for her daughter's future health.

The path to carrying a child had been an arduous one for the Queen, the royalty concerned for her welfare after the suffering of many stillbirths. When she initially discovered she had been pregnant with Aurora, she was buoyantly joyful until the Court Physician told her she likely could not have the baby and live. Devastated, she beseeched the Three Good Fairies to search for another opinion. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather sought out all the wizards and wise men of the realm before they happened upon a young doctor who was convinced the Queen could have the baby if she stayed in bed nearly the entire time of her pregnancy. The King was so loving and attentive to his wife during this time.

Now, as the happy news of his daughter's safe arrival reached him, Stefan- too- seemed enveloped by the embrace of the dancing sunbeams on that July day. Like his daughter would later be, he was of an expressive, poetic nature. To his Queen, he suggested the name Aurora- after the dawn- for she filled their lives with sunshine and so that all days could be as golden and warm as this one. They planned for the christening to be a full seven days out, as was the custom at the time due to the mortality rate. A master calligraphist who successfully copied many legal documents by his own hand, the King set about penning and addressing all the invitations personally.

Now, on the very first day of August, the July heat gave way to a balmy breeze. As all gathered around the castle gates, the name of the infant Princess was finally announced. Taken by the song of her epithet, the Knights and Ladies, townspeople and peasants, all joint in song to the processional chorale, "Hail to the Princess Aurora."

Sleeping Beauty (1959) dir. Clyde Geronimi

[theprincessaurora]

Hello, Princess! First of all I want to say I'm so glad for the opportunity to speak with you. Yours has always been one of my favorite stories ever since I was a child. And so I was wondering, do you have any stories that are your favorite or hold special meaning for you?

"Oh, the pleasure is mine- truly, dear one," the ordinarily calm Princess rushes to reciprocate the visitor's loving warmth. "I so appreciate how near my tale is to your heart. Apart from the story of Snow White, I have two chief entrants. The first is of a more personal nature- Rapunzel. I was always so fascinated by how she expressed herself through song. I know what it is to feel that you have only the trees and the birds about you for company. I get so taken in when her Prince discovers her through her voice. I can understand her in how hesitant she is when he first enters her tower, despite her very much wanting him there. Even how she weighs going with her Prince to staying in the Tower by her maiden mother is something quite familiar to me. And, of course, those lovely tresses that could cover twenty ells in depth utterly captivated me! The second, though not as known, is one I've often heard Aunt Fauna sparkle over. She calls it The Nightingale. Its King hails from a distant land. He wishes for treasures to be brought to him, each finer than the last. One day, he finds himself the most drawn to a seemingly ordinary bird of the forest. Its song touches the King deeply, and he finds its melody could never be duplicated, not even through the efforts of the wisest men and greatest wizards of his Kingdom."

hello, princess aurora! what do you think of snow white? are the two of you friends, and if so, how do the two of you like to spend time together?

"Oh, what an inspired prompt! What's strange, is that I felt familiar with her from the time I was a small child. There was a book of fairy stories in my youth. Why, I can see the panels even now- the ones that first introduced me to Princess Snow White. From then on, she fascinated me. I'd parade through the cottage with a blue material about my shoulders. I must've gathered it from a trunk. I so persisted in this charade, that my dear Aunts eventually joined together and fashioned a cape of the very same material one Christmas! It was royal blue velvet and, to this day, remains my very favorite present I ever received."

As though it is behind her now, the sentimental Princess can recall the flowing train which bustled about her bouncing feet. The golden clasps of her current cape seemed to cover her constricting heart as this warm memory endeared itself to her once more, violet eyes obtaining a semblance of a mist. Something of her Aunt Flora takes over- "I might have come into this world bawling, but I don't expect to leave that way! After all, life is living, and this applies, I think, to everybody- Princess or Peasant. It is Snow White who taught me this, from the very start. Of course, music is our shared love- and the only thing that really fulfills me. Aside from that, we journey through the forest together and have come to know so much of nature. The animals, the changing of the seasons- so many things. Even just thinking of her now, I recall so many colors and expressions unique to her. She really can bring the heart out of anyone, that dear girl."
