Randomly gathered thoughts and ideas

Their actions wouldn’t be done out of malice or selfishness, they just aren’t able to recognize that the upper class is corrupt and in turn end up serving to further that corruption

I’m planning on one twin (the serious one) being an illegitimate child and the other one not because drama. No one knows this, though, because they’re twins so it wouldn’t be suspected. The only reason the twins know is because they’re mother told them. There are some people who are a bit suspicious of them though because they have completely different eye and hair colors, but those people aren’t taken seriously. The serious one definitely resents their mother but the lazy one doesn’t care because it doesn’t effect them

The serious twin would be a devout follower of Kantar

The illegitimate one definitely feels like they have something to prove, which is part of why they’re so blindly loyal to the monarchy and upper class way of life; they fight so desperately for their place in a flawed society that they become part of the problem. Also, I think it would be more interesting if this twin put lots of thought into their decisions and made them with a (at least, comparatively) cool head and *still* makes the wrong choices, rather being driven purely by a lust for power and lifetime of privilege (key word here is ***purely***). And I’m thinking that much like their twin, they *do* have genuine care for their people and want to do right by them by some degree, but that doesn’t mean they’d actually accomplish that.

They’re definitely going to try to get answers from him, maybe try to build relationship with him but they already had a pretty good relationship with Aldous because he also never knew

## Personality

WIP

Takes her duties very seriously and plans put all of her decisions carefully. Cares about the Ilosian people and thinks she knows what’s best for them when really she doesn’t- at least not entirely. So driven to prove she deserve to be in power that she becomes part of the problem. Wants to rule the kingdom but isn’t powerhungry

Strengths: Making informed decisions (informed doesn’t necessarily mean *right* though), keeping her temper, her perseverance and ambition, her confidence, her intelligence, being able to weave her way through the royal court and play the petty games of the rich and powerful

Weaknesses/Fears: Ignorance, privilege, lacks trust in most others, sometimes her confidence can cause her to be too sure of herself and not listen to other people’s ideas. Fears trusting the wrong person, losing her power. All of her fears stem from her main fear of her secret of being an illegitimate child discovered

Motives: Make her way up the social latter so she can some day become Queen or at least high up there. Proving to other nobles (and herself) that yes, she does deserve to live this lifestyle

## Quotes

"If we don't impose order we'll lose control and Ilosia will fall to shambles." - Anora to The Matriarch

"How *dare* you insult our nation this way?” - Anora to Cordelia after reading her letter

“Are you insinuating I *don’t* care about the people? I constantly keep track of weekly reports on the state of the capital and bu-monthly reports on kingdom as whole, analyzing each and every complaint and and memorizing the statistics of who did or didn’t get enough to eat and thinking of ways it can be fixed. And to actually *do* something about it, I attend meetings. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Blair and he’ll tell you just the same.

“What do *you* do? You spend your days neglecting your duties in favor of moseying about doing nothing and leeching on the food they sell not for *you*, but for the sake of other commoners. You don’t keep of up with the state of affairs of Ilosia and you *don’t* perform your necessary duties that serve our country. You claim to stand for change and yet you do nothing to bring it about.

”Honestly, you and your brother and all the rest of your little friends disgust me. And it disgusts me even more how you’ve gotten *my* brother caught up in your lies.” - Anora being a meanie to Adri

“If I were to ever fall in love, I wouldn’t mind it, but my life doesn’t require romance to be happy and fulfilled. Besides, there’s already people in my life whom I’m close to. If I can build a solid, strong partnership built out of mutual respect in my marriage, that would be enough for me. My duty the people and my career is what fulfills my life.” - Anora when told she might regret not marrying for love
