(PRINCESS) ROSELLA OF DAVENTRY
AGE: Canonically she's like days shy of being 18, which is a plot point.
CANON: King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella (1988)
CANON POINT: End of game, 100% run!

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:
Outwardly: a very classic Blond Beautiful Fairytale Princess™. After you've met her for five whole seconds, however, you will quickly learn that she is in fact an extremely sweet, levelheaded, can-do royal with a strong sense of duty and enough determination to power a small country. Recently sacrificed to a three-headed dragon for the sake of her country (she escaped) and questing to find and obtain a magical fruit that could save her dying father (he's now fine), Rosella is more than a little bit of a fish out of water in a setting like the City. However, she loves to read, climb trees, swim, and learn new things; of my roster of three, she's by far the most easily accessible, even for characters who are somewhat reluctant and hard to engage with, and she's always up for making new friends.

CR YOU WANT:
Really, just about anything! Half the fun of playing someone who is Very Much A Fairytale Princess™ is getting to write someone having completely serious fairytale takes about things for which fairytale logic makes absolutely no sense, and vice versa. She does great with contemporary characters when they're willing to play along with her not always understanding how a toaster works, and she assimilates pretty easily with people from fantasy and horror canons as well. She's also great for shitty people who want social cover because she's not very good at clocking someone who is subtly evil or corrupt — generally speaking, if someone is nice to her, she's going to assume they're a nice person through and through. Subtlety is not a characteristic of the wicked in King's Quest.

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
I'm not looking for longterm negative CR! Short-term conflict, bickering, IC rudeness, and so on are all fine! However, I'm not in the market for lasting enemies, active persistent dislike, repeated negative encounters, that sort of thing.

PLOTTING & PLANS:
Longterm, I want to get some of her magical items unlocked so she can do things like shoot people with Cupid's arrow and make them fall in love with each other by mistake, or slap her frog crown onto them and turn them temporarily into frogs. She also has a fairly recent post up where she reveals that Shakespeare is her favorite author, and apparently we might be getting a theater production together? Where my actors at.

HANDWAVED CR:
She can be found in the gardens a lot, and near the cemetery! She's a big fan of flowers, especially roses (not surprising) and will usually go where things are green and outdoorsy, versus the urban sprawl of downtown. She also hates "machines" (which to her fairytale sensibilities means things with exposed gears and cogs, steampunk-style) with blinding disgust so if anybody wants to meet her because she's throwing a brick at a grandfather clock or something, hit me up.
