Priscilla Lovelace

(Inspiration: Unbreakable & Victim or Survivor by Citizen Soldier, Hercules by Sara Bareilles) Delicate. Breakable. Docile. From birth, Priscilla Lovelace was known as the Glass Princess. The only child of Empress Flora, a stone faced and solitary ruler, Priscilla was the sole heir to the throne of the Arcadian Empire. Despite possessing a keen mind and wisdom beyond her years, it was always in doubt whether she could actually rule when the time came. She was a sickly and fragile child, and a contingent of court physicians and attendants were employed with the sole task of seeing the Princess reach maturity. One thing that she was renowned for was her beauty, ethereal and unmatched by all others. When a mysterious illness gripped Empress Flora, spiraling her health without warning, Flora’s advisor and supposed friend convinced the Empress that Princess Flora was not strong enough to rule. Instead, he would wed the Priscilla and rule in her stead. Many believe that the only reason the Empress agreed to such an arrangement was because her mental faculties declined during her final living days. Unfortunately, the damage was already done and the Princess’ fate was decided. It has been three short years since Empress Flora passed, and Archon Crastus has completely taken over as ruler of Arcadia. Priscilla is a prisoner within the confines of her own palace. Her ‘husband’ is a cruel tyrant who abuses his power and mistreats his subjects and his wife. Hope seems to be lost, as everyone just assumes that Priscilla is too weak physically and mentally to take the throne, leaving the Archon as the only viable option as ruler. This is where you come in. Since the Archon led his gentle usurpation, a growing contingent of loyalists to the royal line has been quietly blossoming in the heart of the kingdom. A high ranking agent in this revolutionary movement, you have been tasked with ingratiating yourself to the Princess and convincing her to lead your cause.
