|PERSONALITY|
Henrietta is the literal definition of small but dangerously terrifying, often being compared to a feisty tiger cub. She's shorter than most people and seems delicate, but she makes up for it with her chronic resting bitch face and ticking time bomb of a temper that can immediately shut anyone up once she snaps. She's also very in tune with her abundant array of emotions and she expresses herself far too openly during certain times, and may come off as melodramatic with her signature emotional tantrums. It's both a strength and a weakness for her as she can be rather irrational or paranoid at times along with her questionable sanity, and many are intimidated by her vivaciousness and bold demeanour.

She is a hardworking genius and master strategist in her own right, as well as brimming with tons of confidence and charisma. She has an eloquent tongue and dripping sarcasm topping off with a dry sense of humour, but can also have an impressive potty mouth. She is honest and straightforward, almost to a fault, and not at all considering let alone caring about others' feelings. She's stubborn, too, and can never stand anyone trying to control her even if it's well intentioned. But most of all, one painfully prominent thing about her is that she doesn't get even. She gets so much worse.

Although, if she doesn't find it necessary or if she's simply disinterested, then there's no point on keeping up her little facade. In reality she is fairly anti-social, awkward, and insecure. Frankly, she's just overall done with everyone and everything. She constantly hides behind a mask of outlandish ego and slight selfishness, making her perfect for her royal title, with an innumerable amount of citizens all over the Land of Sin holding a strong distaste for her. But she doesn't need them. After all, she's always been much better off on her own is what she would try to convince herself.

However, there is a whole lot more to her than the sour and somber attitude she presents. She has serious trust issues and is quite judgmental, but if one makes an effort then they will see that she's yet another broken soul and she does indeed have a good heart. She needs someone to make her realize that she isn't the ruthless monster that she's portrayed to be, and that it's okay for her to be soft every once in a while.

|BACKGROUND|
Henrietta hails from a heavily abusive household. Growing up, her parents lowered her self-esteem to such an intense degree and she started believing their words saying that she was nothing more than a worthless mistake. To this day, faded scars still litter all across her body which she attempts so desperately to hide with either makeup or clothes. It's an atrocious reminder, and there are some times that she still wakes up screaming late in the night from memories of her torment.

She has always been different from the other village kids. She was deemed as strange and outcasted, and no one knew of all the hardships she had to endure back at 'home'. And, if things weren't already so horrible, she also had to deal with malicious bullying almost every single day.

She went through an absolutely depressing period where she just wholeheartedly loathed her life. She saw no point to it other than being an utterly hopeless victim. Unfortunately, she thought about ending it. But before she could decide to do anything, her parents made arrangements and suddenly shipped her off to the sunny kingdom of Superbia.

There, she began to live with her estranged uncle who she's never even met before besides from being a wee baby so that her parents can cut spending. Naturally, at first, she was overwhelmed and scared. Her uncle understood, so he didn't push her. But one day, after coming home from his job, he caught her and quickly stopped her from taking her own life.

Since then, her uncle practically never left her. He was always there for Henrietta, assuring her over and over again that she wasn't alone and that he would help her in any way that he can. It took a long time, but Henrietta finally felt like she belonged somewhere. She was genuinely loved, cared for, and wanted.

As more time passed, she was not the same frightened and quiet teenager she once was. She drastically improved herself emotionally, mentally, and physically. And as she started to gain a grasp of the world, she formed a relentless ambition of how she desired to take over the kingdom and make a name for herself. Her uncle was shocked, but supported her nonetheless.

So she put up a diabolically devised show and being a highly endearing sycophant, she managed to land herself into the castle and directly under the royal advisor's wing. He was such a plastic man, and not a second went by when he didn't degrade or tried to make crude advances on Henrietta. But she knew exactly what she had to do and won't give up without a fight. She did a lot of his dirty work behind the wizened queen's back. Despite everything and the cruel discrimination she's gotten, Henrietta eventually earned his and the rest of the court's trust to fully be a part of them.

She had information about nearly everyone and everything without them even knowing, and she had the gifted talent just to manipulate them for her benefit. Overtime, she planned a rouse where she told the queen of how the advisor has been stealing gold from her. Henrietta's act and made up evidence were so persuasive that the enraged queen had the advisor executed, and she appointed Henrietta as her new one.

Henrietta performed her duties splendidly and the queen could always rely on her a thousand times better than the previous and flimsy advisor. In fact, she was fond of the young woman so much that she actually wrote on her last will and testament for Henrietta to be next in line for the throne as she didn't have any other heirs.

In return, Henrietta adored the queen. Not only because her plans fell ideally in place, but because the queen was like the grandmother she never had. So it hugely saddened Henrietta when she died, but now she possessed everything she ever dreamed of.

One of her first decrees was gathering up a bunch of the bastards who ever crossed her. She had them sadistically tortured, then executed by guillotine in front of the public. She is definitely a force not to be reckoned with.

But her parents were the real heart of the matter. And so, she made a trip all the way back to her traumatizing childhood home. It was oh so angelic music to her ears to hear them beg nonsensically, all tied up as they cried deliriously with each deeper stab she inflicted as blood splattered on her face.

As it turns out, however, her uncle followed after her. She was frozen in place upon noticing him, and knew that he would view her as a horrendous beast by then.

But he wasn't fazed. He even helped her with cleanly disposing of the bodies, and they returned to their true home. Henrietta still had a kingdom to run and a world to rule, and at that moment she felt magnificently invincible.

|OTHER|
Henrietta has a complicated love-hate frenemy relationship with Astor. Very rarely can she tolerate him and his excessive flirting, as most of the time she just wants to wrap her hands around the insufferable git's neck especially when he taunts her by calling her the irksome nickname he invented for her which is Little Dolly. Sometimes, though, he can be pretty nice to her and their kingdoms' trading agreements compliment each other.

Alcohol is her poison. Whether she's stressed or merely wants to enjoy herself, there she goes on a spiralling drinking spree once more which her uncle vehemently disapproves of. She consumes it straight from the bottle, finding glasses to be irritatingly inefficient. She can typically handle her liquor well, but she can still get insanely drunk depending on what brand she drank and how many of it.

She isn't vain, but of course she still cares about her appearance and wants to be perceived as her best on every opportunity. As such, she's an avid fan of the finest jewellery and really just anything expensive or extraordinary. Deep down, though, she wishes that she could change how she looks. She abhors being underestimated or being thought of younger because of it, and she is oblivious to the fact that her grumbling and petty discontent only makes her cute. But say that to her and she'll throw a knife straight to the chest of whoever poor bloke foolishly uttered it.

She's decently skilled at the piano. She isn't a professional, but she does play beautifully and has a sweet singing voice. She prefers to just compose and play in private, though.

Surprisingly, she's alright with children on the rare occasion that she somehow gets stuck with them. They tend to admire her and drag her around. Just make sure she doesn't give them any ill or inappropriate advice.

Her main and most valuable tool is her mind. She isn't so well versed with actual combat or weapons, so buff guards are constantly surrounding her and keeping a close watch. But she can properly wield knives and perhaps a sword, and if pushed over her limit she can shoot a wicked punch or two. Furthermore, she's a fast runner and her petite frame have a few advantages. Another power that she holds is the fact that she has eyes and ears in every kingdom, top notch spies keeping her alert of anything and everything.

"Leaving so soon? Aww, I'm not done humiliating you yet!"

"How I'm doing? Oh, y'know...bitchin'."

"I have myself. And my uncle. You'll just be a thorn at my side, so fuck off! I know you don't actually care about me, anyways!"

Wooh, FINALLY finished dear ol' Ri Ri! I had some trouble choosing an FC, but in the end I thought Anna would be great 😄

I'm definitely looking forward to playing her, and in terms of romance she and Astor are open for anyone! And I dunno if I'm ever gonna write genderbent short stories or whatever since I'm lazy trash, but it would be super entertaining hehe and you can add Astor and/or Henrietta in if ya want if you're writing 😁

(^^^I don't remember if I've used that GIF before, but I honestly don't care anymore xD)
