UN: Wandering Moon
King: Theodore Ulysses Gregory Alan, His Royal Highness King Theodore IV (24)
Queen Consort: Josephine Fredericka Katharine Naomi, Her Royal Highness Queen Josephine the Kind, Princess of Dokshaina (15)
-DPrince: Roland Gregory Jonathan Joseph, His Royal Highness Prince Roland (nb)
Of the Royal House of Terron, of the Kingdom of Thylos
In the last month or so Josie's elder sister Alexandria ran away from her abusive husband back home - he was a higher noble in southern Dokshaina - bringing her four girls with her. Noah and Bernice refused their daughter shelter because a woman's place was with her husband and if she couldn't give him males she deserved to be 'coerced'. While most of the people of Thylos don't agree with this they don't believe that she should be allowed to take refuge with her sister because it is a family matter.
The birth of the Prince smoothed things over for the people though and there was a week-long celebration that both their Queen and Prince were alright. The pregnancy was hard for Josie. Although she was healthy enough before her body didn't cope well with the extra estrogen and she threw up near-constantly as a result, the physicians urged her to eat more since she kept losing weight but Josie would just be sick again so she didn't really see the point. The labour was also hard and, for a while, they didn't think that she or the baby would make it but, after 47 hours, Josie gave birth to a relatively healthy baby boy. Josie is still recovering but insists upon feeding her son herself, the Dokshainens believe that a Mother can provide for her children better than anyone, which the Thylosians find ridiculous.
