Princess Mary

## History

Mary was born in Greenwich England. She is the oldest (living) child of King Henry VIII and Queen Catherine. Although she was not their first child to be born, she was the first to survive infancy. So it should hardly be a surprise that they absolutely doted upon her. However, it was also not well hidden that her parents, especially her father, would have preferred to have a son.

Mary was an incredibly gifted child, thanks partially to the amazing education she received, in which she studied French, Latin, Spanish, music, dancing, and even Greek. She showed incredible promise in her mastery of different instruments, and was said to charm the French and English courts alike.

Throughout her life, Mary has been part of many marriage negotiations, including one which would set her to marry the Dauphin of France.

## Appearance

Princess Mary is a beautiful young woman with a fair complexion and long brown hair, which she often wears loose. Her favorite dress, the one she wears at the festival, is a gorgeous red brocade with long, puffed sleeves. She wears jewelry with pearls and rubies, including necklaces and an ornate girdle belt. She wears a golden tiara that is set with more rubies.

## Personality

Princess Mary is an incredibly bright and talented young lady. She is known for her musical talents, dancing ability, and most of all, her charm. However, those within the princess's court know that she can also be very stubborn, and it is clear that she was, and still is, used to getting everything that she wants from her royal parents.

## Relationships

### Family

#### King Henry VIII: Father

Mary and her father have something of a tumultuous relationship. At times, the two of them are incredibly close, with the king doting on his beloved daughter and bragging about how proud he is of her talents. At other times, however, the stubborn royalty will butt heads, especially when it comes to negotiations of whom Mary will be betrothed to.

#### Queen Catherine: Mother

Mary and her mother are usually quite close, as the strain caused by the need for a male heir holds less weight on their relationship than it does with the King. However, there are still times that Mary tires of the pressure that the Queen puts onto her as the crown princess, and wishes that she could be free to explore her own life.

### Others

#### Anne Boleyn

Mary cannot help but hold a grudge against Anne. After all, what daughter wants to see their father flirting with other women when their own mother is still around? Not to mention the fact that if the King were ever to have his way and marry Anne, Mary's own position would be compromised.

#### Sebastien Corgistone

Although Mary seldom enjoyed having a guard chaperone her and watch her every move, she found that she could at the very least tolerate Sebastien. So long as he stayed in his place and continued to show her deference, she supposed she did not mind his presence.
