"A princess has no place amongst the people".
That is what the king had said anyway; since she had been small, Ochako's father had been more than persistent on her safety and protection. This need came with harsh boundaries regarding her never being allowed outside, never to be training the princely courses and to never disobey the words of her elders. Uraraka spent many of her days cycling between her bedroom window,  toward the garden, snake throughout the library , reach her classes and return back to her bedroom as she originated. Her mother and father were known as one of the most loving, kind hearted rulers of the kingdom.
Four Kingdoms divided by the regions in which they were located.
West
East
South
and North
The Uraraka family had ruled over the West, a gentle land with hardworking people and  kind hearts that beat in unison for the loving King, Queen and darling princess. Whilst Ochako had never visited these people in person, her mother would sit her down for tea and tell her all about her work and what she had seen throughout the day.
"Oh the way they dance and sing is marvelous my dear. They sing and chant as we walk into the field, greeting us with freshly picked produce as gifts of our arrival! The children are all in healthy condition and run along to school every morning by the sound of the bell- Doesn't that sound just cozy, munchkin?"
The queen tickled her daughter silly as she laughed and laughed and laughed.
What a fond memory.
Uraraka smiled as she flicked through her books, she had read them more times than she could count, each one discussing the same thing, Manners and princess like behavior. She didn't mind one bit! That's her job isn't it? She only ever wanted to make her parents proud and rule her lovely kingdom one day with the same respect snd authority her parents have always done.
A crisp Sunday morning breeze met the youthful princess's rounded cheeks as she woke up with a gentle stretch and yawn. "what a dream" Uraraka's warm brunette locks fell forward over her face as she had flung herself upward. She traveled her feet upon the ground and made her morning rounds;
Teeth brushed
Hair done
Clothes prepared and organized,
The help of castle maids were always of great use as well when attempting to fit into those petite pink fabrics that laced her waist. Uraraka smiled nevertheless and thanked the kind ladies for their morning efforts and ventured downstairs where she had been greeted by her mother and father. Appearing to have stumbled into the two reading an incredibly well decorated letter. Her father glanced upward noticing the sudden presence and smiled brightly at his pride and joy "Good Morning my fairest! how did you sleep?" The queen too smiled at their daughter awaiting her response. Uraraka sighed and spun for a moment "oh just another one of those whimsical ones father, the ones where you feel the tickle of the grass between your toes and the fresh spring air leave kisses on your face" she cupped her cheeks gushing over the previous night's mental journey "ah! wait a moment, dreams aside, what would you be reading? why I've seen many fancy things in my lifetime but no letter that is so- erm.." She pondered for a moment gazing upwards and tapping her chin before zapping her pupils back to focus "foreign! that's it- new but- the good kind! the decorated kind!" she smiled now having it be her awaiting the response.
The queen smiled and tilted her head "ah sweetheart this is imply an invitation!"
Uraraka felt her mouth form a soft "o" shape as she contained her excitement suspense combination of emotions.
The king nodded "yes dear! that is quite right- you see,
it is a letter from the Todoroki's"
