I wanna battle these guys already! What part of the world is she from? Island? Tiny little country in between larger borders? Or is that a secret too? Is it a developed part of the world? Is there a class divide? This kind of stuff intrigues me.

She's from a fantasy splice of Vietnam, where my family is from!! So a long, skinny country with lots of coastline and a HUGE wealth/class divide and where connections with the government (in this case, the royal family) go a long way. She's a bit like Marius from les mis in that she believes in revolutionary ideas but ultimately still profits from her place in society-- and as a result is protected by the royal guard and all the bells and whistles, and is sorta considered a fake activist.

On the one hand, cohorts and advisors of the royal family who maintain their power so long as the monarchy remains are constantly giving her pressure to keep the tradition and otherwise would be liable to get rid of her should she come to power and try to change the power balance. On the other hand, there are citizens who want to overthrow the family by any means possible-- and that is often easiest to do during coronation ceremonies where the family is out in the open.

P.S. thank you so much for all the positive feedback! school started so i've come to a slow on my comic but!!! the weekend arrives soon...

I absolutely love her and need to know more.

What's she princess of? How's she adapting? Is it a modern-princess, space-princess, medieval-princess?

Gimme the deets.

1. She's the princess of a far away country which is under political turmoil!! Modern times. The only heir to the throne. Her family loves the power and refuses to give it up. She's in hiding now under an alias so that she doesn't get killed.
2. She's loving life as a normal person. She's never been too good as a princess; she thinks it's boring and has made for a lot of gossip columns back home because she just refuses to marry. The downside is that her bodyguard and best friend, Scorpius, is a certified stick in the mud and thinks she can't have fun and lie low. This is him below btw + and older drawing of Merope vvv


I'm working on the intro comic right now!!! hopefully i will have something to post later tonight!!!

Hi!! I'm Xiem, I'm 22 and I draw for a hobby. I got a D in a class last semester so I banned myself from going on tumblr or twitter and now, here I am, in the void. I started drawing more detailed comics sometime around last year, but I'm really hoping to improve the flow and composition of my pages!! I'm trying to major in computer science, so I know a thing or two about programming as well.

Looking forward to brawling it out with you all!!! :^)
