Biography

Born the eldest daughter of King Barret and Queen Livia, Princess Luanda is the Golden Leaf the Maple and bears the responsibilities of being the Royal Treasurer. While it is a privilege for a female to hold such a position of power, she would have rather run free instead of concentrating on her studies. Her tutors once told the king that her mind was perhaps the sharpest mind they have ever seen and she absorbs knowledge at an alarming rate. It was just a shame she was not born a male. But while they praise her mind, they complain about her tendency to lose focus on her lessons, opting to run off to play with her brothers and friends, both of noble and common birth. The only exception was when it came to numbers; it was ironic but her concentration was absolute. However, she WAS the wild child. The one who run off across the hills instead of learning to be a proper princess, much to the horror of her mother.

That all changed when the plague swept through the kingdom, leaving behind a devastating death toll, including many of her beloved family and friends. In a blink of an eye, she became one of King Barret's two surviving children, both of whom are daughters. But will they be heirs? Some people think so but she does not. As a female, possibilities of her inheriting the title is slim to none but the deaths did weigh heavily on her, driving her determination to succeed in her capacity of eldest Princess.

But all the self-imposed responsibility is hard on this once wild child who cared only to shrug off her responsibilities and studies. She still grieves for her family and wears a token belonging to each of them to remind herself of the promises she made. No longer does she smile easily, and no longer does her laughter echo through courtyard. The brightest of golden leaves has matured into a solemn woman with eyes focused on the future and what it brings. But she is not alone. She possesses a number of friends from her childhood who all went through devastating loses, and who are now all grown up and coming into their own. Tight knit, they offer her a network with whom she can rely on if she needed information.

And then there is Barbeta. The sister who wishes to be the Golden Leaf and the responsibilities that come with it. They have never been close; Luanda who favored their brothers and Barbeta who favored her books. They are always competing with one another, even over the littlest things. What she have never understood was why her sister is so jealous of her which she bears such great responsibilities that sometimes it feels crippling.

Personality and Appearance

Once full of laughter and mischievous, Luanda has matured into a serious young woman who takes her responsibilities to heart. However, her inability to focus long on a single subject, the exception being the finances, has always been her weakness. She must force herself to pay attention or else her mind wanders off. But those who know her will tell others that it is a mistake to assume the Princess if not paying attention because she has the uncanny ability to remember bits of conversation that others wished she did not. Stubborn is another word used frequently to describe her. Once her mind is set, there is a better chance of moving Castle Mergorand than changing her mind.
