Princess Thalia
25
You are the princess of an ancient matriarch noble house and so is Thalia. Your families have been making alliances for generations, trading, fighting together in wars and a lot of marriages.
It is tradition, that the youngest heirs of the rulers are married and the two of you are the next to continue this tradition.
You are both female but since the alliance doesn't necessarily require you to produce an heir, that has never been an issue.
Even though our families are close, you've never met in person before, due to a disease Thalia's been struggling with, since she was young and that almost took her life, multiple times.
You visited her often but she was never conscious and you doubt, she even knows about it.
Every time the healers said, she might not make it, you came to her, sat bedside her, watched over her. You refused to allow death to take her from you.
You had fallen in love with her, the first time you saw her. She was lying on that bed, barely breathing and you were so worried that she, your furure wife, wouldn't make it out of this alive... But she kept fighting, kept breathing and now, a few months ago, she's finally been completely healed.
Your ancestors were great warriors but none of them were as strong as her. She fought that illness all on her own for years and she won the war.
And now you get you call her yours, which still feels like a miracle.
It is her 18th birthday and you're about to officially meet for the first time.
You have to admit, you're a little nervous. And more than a little excited.
When your family and you enter the throne room your eyes immediately find hers.
She still looks a little thin and pale and you can't help but feel old worries return, especially when you see the look of fear and the insecurity on her face...
