Princess Hesper

==History==
Long ago, a great war began between two kingdoms over a petty disagreement. Many were killed; some were soldiers, others were innocents. 
The war was harsh, but saw an end before it could cause any irreversible damage due to a cease-fire. Although this truce would hold strong for a long time, it was doomed to be temporary. In order to prolong the peace for as long as possible, a great wall was between the two kingdoms, separating them from ever seeing each other. It was decided early on that crossing over the wall or exchanging any means of conversation or goods would be prohibited.
The two kingdoms were ruled by kings and queens. One kingdom witnessed the loss of both the king and queen in a horrible catastrophe at sea. Reign over the kingdom was passed down to their only child, an eight-year-old boy by the name of Zenith Although he was young, he was determined to carry on his parents’ legacy and keep the kingdom running to the best of his ability. With the help of countless advisers, he studied and trained tirelessly to eventually become the ruler his kingdom needed.
The other kingdom witnessed joy and prosperity for many years and a celebration commenced when news of a baby girl spread throughout the kingdom. Her name was to be Hesper, and she would be next in line for the throne. 
So different were these two kingdoms with their different rulers, circumstances, and priorities. It was exactly that reason that the people of both kingdoms were becoming restless. The great wall between the two kingdoms prevented the citizens from spreading out in order to fulfill their dreams of searching for new ground, pursuing adventure, or trying new things. Some began to break the long-standing Rule Of The Wall, resulting in many being put under arrest. Some attempted rescue missions and break-outs, which led to violent rebellions and the formation of dangerous groups. The end of the cease-fire was at hand.
After debating for countless hours with hundreds of officials, it was decided that the wall had lost its initial purpose and was now the cause of the growing violence. In order to take down the wall, the two kingdoms had to unite as one. The only sure way to complete this was through marriage. Princess Hesper was to marry King Zenith in order to tie the gap between the two kingdoms, legally remove the wall, and prevent another deadly war.
==Appearance==
Hesper has golden fur and light brown hair, which she usually keeps in a long braid down her back. She has light brown eyes and has an affinity for the color white. She wears a white dress, white laced shoes, and a golden chain around her waist, making for a very simple outfit. 
==Personality==
Hesper is, in a word, innocent. At the age of 16 and never really going beyond the kingdom walls or even the castle walls, she doesn't really know much about the two kingdoms she is destined to rule. This makes her naive and easy to use.
Aside from her naive nature, she is extremely soft-spoken and very polite. This doesn't hinder her loyalty to her kingdom and people, however. She follows her duty as a princess to the point and tries not to let her feelings get in the way of logic. In this sense, she can be considered very mature.
== Meeting King Zenith ==
When Hesper first meets Zenith, she is stiff and uncomfortable in his presence. Unlike her, Zenith was straight-forward and had a sharp tongue. She felt inferior to him due to his vast knowledge of world problems and anything beyond the castle walls. On the outside, she remained polite and composed, but inside she couldn't see how a marriage with him would ever work. Her duty to her kingdom and its people, however, was so strong that she put aside her true feelings about the arranged marriage and grew more forlorn by the day.
Zenith, on the other hand, wasn't quite sure what to make of his queen-to-be. He knew that she was far too innocent for her age and decided that he'd introduce her to a world outside of the kingdom. During their travels, he got to know Hesper and slowly began to fall for her soft and polite demeanor. Hesper began to see the hidden personality in the king and began to fall for him as well.
