## Appearance

More tanned than her sister, sharing more of her father's complexion. She was shorter and stockier due to more rigorous training with a vertical scar on her right cheek. Her hair is usually tied back in some way.

## Life

As the youngest she was groomed to be a member of the court as opposed to ruling, although she did share some lessons with her sister, just in case the unthinkable happened.

Camila, like many noble children in Tandeli, was taught sword play. She took to it better than her sister, and would often sneak off to the Captain of the Royal Guard to get extra lessons.

She had a similar relationship with her mother as Corona did. With their father, Camila was much more argumentative, she didn’t want to put up with her father’s shouting, while her sister and mother preferred pacification or just letting him cool off.

The year she turned 10, King Fabián tried to kill Queen Alana, and like her sister, Camilla was fast asleep through the whole thing.

As the Queen’s mental health declined and Corona was pulled away more and more for royal duties, Camilla retreated more and more to the Royal Guard. It even became a trial of passage for a while for new recruits to face the princess in combat.

When it became time for her and Corona to do what their father failed to do, Camilla felt it was unspoken agreement that she would do the killing. She had trained physically more after all. The problem with it being unspoken is that Corona didn’t know.

Either way, their plan failed, and the Dragon Witch was on the loose.

Camilla spent her recovery time fuming and wishing, at the ripe old age of 14, to be out there with the Royal Guard. Her mother was taken down, and her sister became queen.

Camilla aided her sister where she could, and out of some paranoia left over from their mother, eventually became her sister’s bodyguard. During her tenure as bodyguard, there was an attempt on her sister’s life she never learned about. Camilla dealt with it effectively, and was horrified to learn that this was the same group her father had been a part off.

The attempt was covered up and the group arrested by Grancinco officials. Still, the event left a scar on Camilla, and she never truly trusted Grancinco again.

She married and had a son named Alfonso, who she began to train to be his cousin’s bodyguard, the new princess Nereida. Camilla spent a lot of time with the young princess, slowly bending her way of thinking to perceive Grancinco as a potential enemy, since Corona was firm in her view as Gracinco as an ally.

Corona died first out of the sisters in late 1567, and Camilla was devastated. Corona had died from natural causes, but part of Camilla’s mind was convinced there was some Grancinco conspiracy. Grancinco sent their father to kill their mother, Grancinco forces tried to kill her mother in the form of a dragon, and later a Grancinco group tried to kill her sister.

However, with Nereida on the throne now, Camilla could turn her to attack Grancinco. She was successful, and the only reason the war was halted was by Camilla’s death in 1584, aged 78.

*Corona's name was chosen months before the worldwide pandemic of the Corona virus, and was chosen because it is the Spanish word for 'crown'.*
