Heir Presumptive Reissa - The Princess
Added 2020-06-18 04:12:16 +0000 UTCI...am so fucking PROUD of this girl! I love all of my children equally but with Reissa in particular I am having an absolute blast writing her and feeling her unfold.
The Heir Presumptive is the daughter of the Queen who has been declared to be the future ruler of Verdant. Every daughter is by right a Princess, and given the respect they deserve. But becoming the Heir Presumptive has to be earned through great difficulty. She must compete against the other Princesses, her sisters and half-sister, to stand out and gain her mothers favor. She must survive the Trials of the Red Wastes and serve for a year in each of the Five Houses, garnering their respect and improving her understanding of the Verdant political and social structure.
Only the Heir Presumptive holds the rights to act directly on the Queens behalf without the consent of the Five Houses being obtained. This is to say that the Heir Presumptive is expected to uphold the Queen's law and honor through her own actions as they fall in line with the law. The Heir Presumptive can act as she sees fit and answer only to the Queen about it. This places her in both a very powerful and very precarious position.
The Heir Presumptive powers are limited to:
-act as Queen Regent during the Queens absence
-acting on behalf of the Queen
-speaking on behalf of the Queen
-acting as a councilor during council/court meetings
-act as a military general in the absence of one
-act as a priestess and preform rites in the absence of one
