**Full Name:**

Aelin Emeka
**Age:**

23
**Employment:**

Princess of Ivoria
**Species:**

Elf
**Weapons:**

A wave-bladed knife she obtained some time ago and keeps sheathed on a lopsided belt at her waist. While she is also trained in archery and swordplay as well as magic, she is less competent than her sister Anara in all three, and thus prefers hand-to-hand and use of her knife.

**Appearance:**

Her FC is Elizabeth Lail.
**Personality:**

Not many people can be summed up and tied into a neat little bow; twenty-three-year-old Aelin Emeka, one of the princesses of the Ivorian Kingdom, is one of the few people that are exceptions to the rule. The word that describes her at her core is awkward, awkward in ways that are most unbecoming of a princess. Aelin stumbles over both her own, tangled limbs, and her words alike - inherently clumsy, and with a tendency to run her mouth a little too much when she's *not*stuttering. Social, but antisocial at the same time, Aelin despises eye contact or having to make any kind of executive decision - she's grown quite used to being served rather than having to do things for herself.
Aelin is breezy, carefree, and lax, with little motivation to do anything that isn't *exactly*as she pleases at a given moment, and even that can change from one second to the next - she's got quite the fickle mind. What Aelin *is*- happy. Constantly happy to the point it annoys people. Her motto is quite literally "*you can always give up tomorrow.*" Everything she does needs to have a way for her to get out of it if she decides she doesn't want to do it anymore. Her smile is recognisable anywhere, perhaps this beauty and awkward charisma is the only trait she has that is even slightly leaderlike. Although she keeps it quiet, she doesn't hate non-elves as much as the rest of Ivorian society.
However Aelin does also have the ability to be a bit of a spoilt *brat.*While one of the oldest in heart and mind she is younger, she certainly acts less mature. If there's no way to get her way she becomes quite overdramatic. Her way of speaking in general is quite sing-song and odd, this is the only time it becomes even less comprehensible. Aelin is regarded as being a bit of a superficial airhead, and honestly, she's not even remotely interested in academics as long as her knife is sheathed and her braids done straight - and if she got out the right side of bed to a good breakfast. (One of her main priorities in life is food. A simple girl, quite easy to please with the simple gift of food. Don't judge her for it or she'll slap you.)
**History:**

The Emeka family have ruled over the elvish Kingdom of Ivoria for centuries on end, and nobody under the family's rule expects it to end anytime soon. The latest generation of Emekas to rule is the King and Queen Alfonso and Adelina, and their three children Aelin, Anara, and Meliorn - and all of them contribute to ruling the Kingdom as these families should. Non-elves are treated with disdain in Ivoria, so naturally the entire Ivoria family is made up of elves, who at least supposedly if not privately (although most do) have a disdain for non-elves, especially those residing in the *Elvish*kingdom. This family is renowned for their powerful magic, hence how they took over from the long-running Lyntoa family rule all those centuries ago. Each member of the Emeka family has their own distinct character, it is said in all of the myths that everyone's magic has a *personality*that will influence the personality of its host in turn.
Their father, Alfonso Emeka, was married to Lady Adelina of a very powerful, although not equally powerful, clan. Marriages in the royal family aim to marry to the most magically powerful bride or suitor they can find, in order to maintain the powerful bloodline running through their veins and ensure that in turn, their children remain the most powerful in Ivoria. Otherwise, how would they ever have maintained the rule of the Kingdom for so long? The cost of marriage for either woman or man outside the family is that if they marry into the family, they lose their surname in favour of the Emeka name in order to keep the line going, but this was widely regarded as very little to pay for the power it grants you. Marrying for love is a foreign concept, and although a few in the family are lucky that their love happens to be powerful enough for consideration, most are not, and they must accept that this is the price they paid for power. Alfonso and Adelina fall into the latter group.
This often lead to their marriage being a tense affair behind closed doors. Outside they put on the perfect front for their citizens as they always must, and obliged to their duty to have children. Their first child was a girl, Aelin, who proved to be a bit of an airhead although very beautiful and preferred combat despite her strong magic; their second a boy, Meliorn, who equally met his parents' expectations; and their last, Anara, who had *unprecedented*strength of magic even when compared to her siblings.
Each royal was required to train their magic and other forms of combat to ensure they would be as competent as their parents and predecessors. Anara was by far the most talented by magic's terms, while Aelin preferred use of knives and hand-to-hand combat.
From a young age Aelin appeared reluctant to participate in anything that did not directly benefit her, so they had to come up with a way to make sure each important duty for her had an incentive.  But she was inherently awkward, so working with her became quite difficult - she ended up picking and choosing her duties, which took the load off some of the others but not perhaps in the way they had intended. She was, however, noted to be quite charismatic and a good speaker when she wasn't stuttering, so she was the perfect public image for the family as long as you didn't give her anything to trip over - happy, content. This allowed the King and Queen to step back and earned them time to focus on their magic.
Aelin became an adult and has reluctantly begun to pull her weight more when it comes to public presentation but tends to leave the majority of the decision-making to her parents and siblings, as it's something she never excelled at (especially when she had no interest in academics). Her happiness has become a sort of image for the family as a whole, and it's infectious, leading to the whole kingdom's contentedness increasing. Aelin likes to say it's her own kind of magic.
