Prince France

**Prince France** was one of the 78 children of Holly Sarah France, who died young from heart issues. He now has a stone marking a hillside in remembrance after him, named "Prince's Hill".

## Appearance

Prince is a male albino Guardian with a coat of incredibly soft off-white fur that fluffs upwards wildly, his nose, hooves, and eyes are a muted pink, and he often wears a deep crimson necktie.

## Personality

Still widely regarded as the most beloved member of the family, Prince is unwaveringly selfless and gentle, softspoken and calm with a genuine deep desire to help anyone around him, and to this day many continue to celebrate his life personally for how much he meant to them. Due to become a medic before tragically passing away from heart conditions, he is exceeded by not only his reputation, but the existence of multiple memorials around the island, and the fond memories of all those who cherished him.

## History

### Pre-Series

Widely regarded as the most beloved member of the family, Prince is part of Holly’s third litter of fawns born June 2nd 2007 in the forests of northern England. He was born with albinism, which from the start made him a sickly child mainly struggling with skin and eye issues, despite this though he was never one to complain, and has always rather kept quiet about his medical distresses than allegedly ‘bothering’ anyone with them. Wanting to give back after the excess care he had been given as a child, Prince would join Monarch as a medic and carer to others in need, and upon moving to Custos in September 2012, was due to begin work at the new clinic alongside them. This however would never come to fruition, as aside from his surface level ailments, it had been clear for some time that there had been more deeper issues at play within him, and in late 2013 it was revealed that his heart was failing, and he had mere months if not weeks left to live.

Prince however seemed to take this diagnosis in his stride, he was offered to be taken back to human civilisation in hopes they would be able to help him further than the clinic ever could, though he refused, deterred by the dangers and price of what it may entail, and instead chose to live out the rest of his days peacefully on Custos. Nearing the end, he began spending his nights on a hill around Altrum, watching the stars and sleeping in the soft grass, on the morning of December 6th 2013 however he had notably not returned home, and was found deceased on the hill, presumably having passed away in his sleep. He was buried where he died, and the spot was dubbed ‘Prince’s Hill’ going forward, as well as having a stone statue crafted in his honour that now resides on the renamed stretch ‘Royal Avenue’ in New Cross City.

Despite his short life, Prince is universally regarded as one of the kindest and most treasured residents to have ever graced the island. He was unwaveringly selfless and gentle, softspoken and calm with a genuine deep desire to help anyone around him, and to this day many continue to celebrate his life personally for how much he meant to them. Notably he was one of the only people to ever have a true connection with Arrow, seeming to have endless patience and love for him, and likewise Arrow had uncharacteristically shown it back. Prince’s death was a severe blow to his already fracturing mental state, and it is rumoured the other may have confessed something to him in his final few days, though if true this is something Arrow would also take to his grave, with the pair hopefully being reunited in the next life.
