HelpRe: The Orlais Kingdom Congrats Sign-Up
in reply to a message by AnnaMarie
UN: Elowen
Surname: Descoteaux
DH: Leopold Charles Aurelien Felix (22)
DW: Joséphine Liliane Sidonie (19)
Station: King, Queen
King Leopold, known as a gentle and merciful leader, rules over the kingdom of Orlais with his twin brother Prince Philippe by his side. Leopold, as the oldest son of the former king, had known his whole life that one day he would be the one on the throne, yet he had never allowed this knowledge to harden him to the thoughts and feelings of the common person. His calm and patience makes him a brilliant hunter, although he no longer has time to participate in such pursuits since becoming king. He delights in his beautiful kingdom, the way the hills gently slope and the way the ocean hits the shore. He is proud to rule such a stunning land.
While he and his twin brother share some physical attributes, in personality they are very different. Leopold is the more gentle of the two. Opponents of the king interpret this as weakness, and call for Philippe to take the throne. Leopold feels the distance between he and his brother deeply within his heart and it pains him greatly to know that his brother wishes that he were king instead.
His marriage with Joséphine is another point on which the naysayers argue is evidence that he should not rule. Leopold, as he often does, followed his heart when it came to selecting a bride, a future queen of Orlais, despite an uproar from the public. Joséphine was an academic's daughter, very well-read and quite beautiful (at least to Leopold, she was) but not the proper choice for a future king. They met through Joséphine's father, Leopold's French tutor, and it was love at first sight. The public have slowly warmed to Joséphine over the past three years of their marriage, but she could certainly not be described as a people's queen.
(Just on the physical side of things, I see Leopold as having blonde hair with a moustache and beard, and Joséphine as having long, straight dark brown hair and green eyes. I thought I'd mention that in case anyone wants to mention the appearance of relatives.
Also, I haven't written in a while so my writing is a bit rusty! I'm sure I will get better as this goes on. :p PM me if there's anything I've done incorrectly.)

Royals usually have quite long names and you will actually need to give your royal family a surname. That's my fault though as I didn't actually put that on the sign-up! Will go back and change that! Also, we usually start out with younger families because at the start of the game your family does not yet have children, and every round a few years will pass and your family will grow, events will happen, and you will expand your story...
Check out the last round Britt's Kingdom congrats (http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4015625) if you want to see how the concept plays out.
As you've choosen to play Orlias's King & Queen I hope you like to write stories too because you're family will be very central to the plot, so decent stories about your family & the kingdom etc will be a must... Once again, check out the link above to see what I mean.
Tell us about your family :)
Welcome again!
