Medieval Times (Series): The Unwavering Princess

A special collection of original characters from Medieval times.

Backstory:

Having lost her mother early into childhood, her father the King,  decided his daughter would have to toughen up in order to survive the  harsh reality of life, and so that she wouldn't be left powerless if  something ever happened to him. And toughen up she did! Thirsty for  every new challenge put before her and craving hardship that most people  would run away from, she built herself both physically and mentally as a  formidable and capable young woman.

During her  teenage years, her curiosity and desire increasingly became an issue  for the guardians tasked with protecting her. She would regularly evade  them, and go on adventures outside the castle walls, and it soon became  apparent that they were simply powerless in stopping her appetite for  discovery. Her father the King, unable in his right mind, to deny his  daughter the knowledge she craved, finally had a brilliant idea to solve  the problem at hand and try to instill a sense of responsibility into  the actions of his daughter. He created a new royal guard unit dedicated  to protecting the princess, and put her in charge of it. She was  ecstatic with the show of confidence from her father and welcomed her  first official responsibility with the upmost eagerness. Over months she  methodically constructed her unit, personally trained them, devised  protocols, crafted her emblem and colors, and organized various events,  expeditions or public demonstrations.

And  it wasn't long before talk of the formidable new princess guard spread  all through the kingdom, inspiring legend and stories for some, and  dreams of knighthood for others. At one point, the recognition of the  princess guard was so high that it arguably surpassed the reputation of  even the King's guard. Her clever father recognized her immense success  and on her 18th birthday, rewarded her by placing all Royal guard units  under her capable care.

The King was finally at  peace with the security of his daughter. He no longer had a single  doubt regarding her capacity to face life on her own, regardless of what  she would find in her path. However a different question had been  forming in his mind... where on earth would she find a suitable  candidate for marriage...
