Princess Gracelle Vivian Astras

"Gracelle was doing what she did everyday- avoid her mother, avoid the servants, and lock herself in her room. It had become her life ever since her father had died and her mother had practically forgot about her."

-Princess Gracelle, Royalty Pt.2

Princess Gracelle Vivian Astras is the 15-year-old girl (nearly 16), daughter of Queen Alianna Astras. She had a very sheltered childhood, and nearly never left the Etzala Palace. She was naturally rebellious, and hated being locked up.

Backstory:
Shortly after she was born, her father died of an unknown disease. Queen Alianna became very depressed, forgetting about Gracelle for weeks. She was fed warm goat milk by a maid called Minnie, and Minnie was like a mother-figure to her. Even with everything she could want- books, dolls, toys- she never had any companionship other than Minnie. Eventually her mother started getting better (with the help of therapy) but she still paid no attention to the now 4-year-old Gracelle. Gracelle spent her days playing in her room, and she had a very vivid imagination. Her favourite stories were the ones about princesses trapped in towers- because she very much so felt like one herself. Sometimes she dreamed about a knight coming to save her, or a handsome prince, or a beautiful princess, heck. Eventually she realized that no one was coming to save her, and she just stopped pretending to be happy and content. At the age of 10, she started going out to the stables and hanging out there. But she still was both bored to death and sad. When she turned 12, she had an huge birthday party, and she learned that most nobles and royals were rude and stuck-up. She suddenly didn't care about being with people anymore, and resumed her long days at the castle, wandering around. Gracelle is currently living with a young Englopian lawyer by the name of Joseph Burnens. She is unsure of whether or not her mother is looking for her, but she doesn't care either way.

Relationships
Queen Alianna Astras= Gracelle's relationship with her mother is strained, and they hardly know each other. When they do interact, it tends to seem awkward and unnatural. Gracelle gave up trying to open up to her mother long ago. Lady Minnie Feley= The kind, mother-figure in Gracelle's life had an amazing relationship with Gracelle, spending hours with her as a child. When Minnie died, Gracelle cried for hours, and refused to talk to anyone, or eat anything. Gracelle still visits Minnie's grave every year. Joseph Burnerns= Joseph Burnerns is a 18-year-old lawyer that found Gracelle on the streets. He took her in, bringing Gracelle to his apartment. They seem to have a pretty solid friendship and they enjoy each others' companionship. Gracelle has shown some affection for him, in terms of hugging, but that's as far as their relationship goes.
