\\ Zanaitia Royals //[RoW]

Notes & Credits

|| Updates 4/8/23 : Updated for the Ark 2 Skip, and the Twins now have their talismans and familiars! || \\ Queen Kefira // Elegant, precise, and resolute, Kefira stands strongly as Zanaitia's Queen. Even as a pup, she was taught how important her future position would be to the prosperity of her kingdom. Ever since her ascension to the throne at the age of 50, and even before then, Kefira has taken her role very seriously. To her, the kingdom is a delicate machine that she is responsible for keeping running smoothly. And so far, in her 70 years of rulership she's done just that. While often she is absolutely consumed with her work, she does her best to make time for her husband and children. From things as little as reading the twins a story to taking a break for tea with Arctos, Kefira does her best to keep her life balanced. \\ King Arctos // The King does his best to assist his wife in her work, but with his background he isn't always the most helpful. Before meeting Kefira, he worked as a merchant selling meats. He was hunter by trade and took pride in his work to provide the best of quality. He met the queen-to-be by complete accident one day, having nearly shot an arrow through her familiar after mistaking it for a wild creature. One stern talking to later, and Arctos promised Kefira to repay her if she would come by again. So she did. And then again, and again. Fast forward a few years later and the two were happily together, though Arctos is almost certain Kefira’s familiar never exactly forgave him. He spends most of his time either watching over the twins or keeping the palace running smoothly. \\ Prince Sven // Heir to the throne, Kefira has done her best to instill her oldest son with the same sense of duty to his future position, which thankfully seems to have worked. Sven takes his duty to eventually take the throne very very seriously and is on the path to do just as well if not better than his mother. That being said, make no mistake, Sven is almost nothing like his mother. No, the oldest prince is a fiend for anything remotely thrilling. He's part of the reason the castle finds itself constantly playing host to parties and celebrations, or why the heir seems to insist that he take his younger siblings out so often. Like his father, Sven has also taken a particular fondness to the woods and even goes on hunting trips with the king from time to time. \\ Princess Vixen // The "technical" older of the twins, Vixen is just as excitable as anyone would expect a pup to be. While she's not the toughest, she has a mind as sharp as her tongue and even at her young age is already putting it to use. Whenever the twins find themselves in trouble, Vixen is usually the one to at least try and talk their way out. If all else fails, she knows Sven will come and bail them out of trouble. Vixen has also taken recently to attempting to sneak away wherever no one is paying attention. Usually its just within the palace walls, but recently she's been attempting to do so while out and about with Sven or her father. \\ Prince Aquilo // The "technical" younger of the twins, Aquilo is just a wily as his sister. While he doesn't have nearly the wit she does, he's certainly much stronger and able to get them out of trouble where brute force might be needed. Or well, more like a mild amount of force, considering the prince is still growing. He willingly goes along with every scheme his twin thinks up, mostly because in Aquilo's eyes causing mischief is nothing but fun. Worst case, Sven has to come bail them out, and best case he gets to have fun with his sister! While he doesn't exactly like his sister's new sneaky habit, there's not much he can do to dissuade her. For now, he just tries to jump on her and stop her anytime he catches her trying to slink away.
