[align=center]![]() E L I Z A B E T H B R Y A N ![]() * I saw my girl with the golden touch / Give me a taste but not too much / I never listen to the words of fools / That kind of girl, yeah she's never alone . HEY THERE. THE NAME IS KAITT, AND I AM 20. I'VE BEEN ROLEPLAYING FOR ABOUT A LONG TIME AND MY OTHER CHARACTERS WOULD BE PRINCESS CATHERINE OF ARAGON. I FOUND FKAC AT THE ELITE. OH, BY THE WAY, I READ THE RULES. WANT PROOF? THE CODE WORD IS ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE WANT TO REACH ME? HERE'S MY IM: xsweetshortstuff [/align]I am Lady Elizabeth Bryan. Perhaps you've heard of me. My older brother has made quite a name for himself here at court, and with wine constantly loosening his tongue, conversation has surely turned to me every once and a while. Francis and I are very close, you see. My dear brother and I grew up together and spent nearly every waking moment together while we were young. No one else understands me quite like Francis does, as it should be between two siblings. Our love for each other is very strong, and any time we spend apart has only served to strengthen it. We've had our disputes, of course. He slept with one of my dearest friends when we were younger, and that didn't sit well with me. He spent days begging my forgiveness afterward, when he wasn't cursing my stubbornness or the ill fortune that set upon him after I walked in on the pair of them. I do not forgive easily, though I am slow to rise up in real anger. Francis and I tease each other and bicker as siblings do. My tongue is sharp - so is his wit. I will tolerate teasing, but I will not tolerate insults under any circumstances. Francis claims my ability to hold a grudge is both my greatest strength and the thing he dislikes most about me. If I did not love him as my brother, I do not think I would have spoken to him after I found him lying between my dear Mary's legs. Do I posses the sinful nature of my darling brother? Ah, if I answered that too quickly, you would lose interest in me, and I cannot have that. Let us put things this way - I was not angry with my brother because he slept with a woman he was not married to. Rather, I wished to protect Mary's innocence. She was always such a sweet, pious little thing. I myself am Roman Catholic, though I am more like my brother and less like dear sweet Mary was before she tumbled into his bed. Am I ashamed of myself? No, I cannot be, though I must keep my relationships quieter than my brother keeps his. After all, I am a woman in a court of men and while I may banter with them, I know that I am always subject to them, unless I can tempt them into my way of thinking. I only have eighteen years, but I have learned this - if you learn what a man really wants, you can have him eating out of your hand. I grew up at court, and I have watched, listened and learned by example. My parents, Sir Thomas and Lady Margaret Bryan, both hold offices in the royal household. My mother in particular holds an important task - she is the Lady Governess to the King's daughter - but my brother's position will bring us all good fortune. He is one of the King's best friends and sits as a member of the Privy Chamber. More importantly, he keeps the king in good humor and because of him, I too am a member of the king's inner social circle. I am no stranger to the lavish masques and dances and have performed in many of them - now that I am a young woman, my performance has been more carefully observed by the men of the court. The look in their eyes is a source of my constant amusement. My brother is many things - a diplomat, a soldier, a sailor, a cipherer, a man of letters and a poet. But his true calling lies in knowing what makes people happy and giving them what they want in order to earn favor and get what you want in return. He may bounce from side to side in a debate, but he always stays with the king's opinion. This is an important lesson. I know it well. If I am to make a good match for myself, I must tempt and twist and hope that Francis does the same. As a man in the king's favor, he is already in a comfortable position for life. He can be a rake and get away with it. I cannot. Every move must be purposeful. Once I have my malleable master, I shall do as I please. |
