GENDER
To be a future queen means to have the traits that constitute a good and fair leader. From a young age, Adelaide was tailored to perfection, knowing fully well that she had to be nothing short of pristine when she took the throne. With an authoritative presence and a grace in her footstep, she's bound to turn heads with her mere presence. Her eloquence and intelligence are unmatched, and her determination undeterrable. Adelaide stays true to her beliefs, only ever letting factual or influential evidence sway her opinions. Though rare, she knows when to release the tension from her shoulders and genuinely enjoy herself, indulging in dance or literature.
For the most part, however, Adelaide is far more than what meets the eye. Anxiety chews away at her heart, keeping her on her toes and stealing hours of sleep from her. At meetings, she has to spend a few seconds contemplating how to make her presence and voice known when she says something. She lacks close friendships and trust in others, and hiding her feelings has become a lifestyle, though her chocolate brown eyes tell all. Her happiness, sadness, and frustration reign free in them, despite her attempts to appear unfazed and stoic. Living in the public eye, she learned to pull of her regal facade at a young age, but it does not mean that Adelaide isn't stressed about the kind of queen and person she will be in the future.
The eldest child to King Benedict Richard McLeod and Queen Madeline McLeod, as well as the eldest daughter, her birth was cause for a joyous celebration throughout the United States. With wide brown eyes, fine brown hair, and a delicate aura, the future queen was welcomed wholesomely by the nation.
Growing up, Adelaide learned how to survive in an environment where any mistake could be held against her, and not everybody was as trustworthy as they seemed. As a young girl, she was raised and taught how to give out commands, solve problems, and any other skill required to run a country. She grew up faster than most children her age, as her parents and instructors groomed and prepared her for the day she would take the throne. Adelaide was considered a child prodigy, always learning faster and comprehending more topics of discussions than what a "normal" three year old should know, which brought high hopes for her future reign.
When she turned eighteen, she had to open herself to hours-long meetings on the daily, constant public appearances and words on when she intended on having her coronation, or when she planned on getting married. For six years, Adelaide endured far more worry that one could ever feel, and with now mere years until she takes the throne, she's not sure if she is prepared. Every pair of eyes will be watching her every move, and though Adelaide stresses that she's only human, she's worried that she will fail her country.
Monroe is rather used to being overlooked or pushed towards the back and out of the spotlight. Her quiet demeanor and troubling childhood made it so that she was not a prominent presence during school. She was a target of bullying during her school years for not having enough money to go on field trips or attend school events. The few times she could afford lunch, it was snatched up by upperclassmen that found it easy enough to take food from a poor girl with skin clinging on to her bones and sadness in her brown eyes.
However, through and through, Monroe has promised herself to uphold the basic principles of kindness and generosity. Though she continues to struggle with being assertive and making herself known, she undoubtedly has a calming presence that welcomes others with a warm grin and touch. She is more understanding the average person and is always open towards new opinions and experiences. Her kindness makes her seem easy to manipulate and take advantage of, and while Monroe is generally a non-violent figure that doesn't know how to speak up for herself, she can always find a smart way to work her way out of difficult situations.
Born to teenage parents, Monroe's life was difficult from the start. Her father balanced three jobs as soon as he graduated, unable to attend university. Her mother had dropped out of high school and became a full-time mother, insisting on raising Monroe while her father struggled to put food on the table for the three of them in their tiny apartment. She was three when her father came home from work one evening and began to argue with her mother. She was three when her father walked out with as many belongings as he could grab and never returned.
In the years following her father's departure, Monroe and her mother relied on government assistance and welfare to survive. Her mother switched between jobs nearly weekly, making minimal wage at most. Despite the struggle, Monroe learned to never complain and appreciate what she was given in her unfortunate life. In school, she chose to never pick a fight, as it would result in her getting into trouble and disappointing her mother. She had one goal: to be successful and pay her mother back. During her high school years, Monroe took up janitorial jobs to make some extra money for her and her mother, and she always had her homework completed and perfected.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. When her high school graduation came around, Monroe learned that she did not have enough money to put herself through university, and instead took up a job as a palace maid. For the first year, she carried the burden and guilt of not being able to pay back her mother, and created a new goal for herself. She would raise through the ranks until she could end up in a position where she could support her mother, even if it was just barely. Now at twenty-three, Monroe is a hardworking and dedicated piece to the palace staff, and though she hasn't made much for herself in terms of friends or even future romances, she is comfortable with where she is now.
