        My name is Serena and I have always found myself since the day I was born in 1920 always on the wrong side of the law, always pushing the boundaries of my adopted parents. Even though I was a princess I never liked it the proper dresses the corsets not being able to breath the heels and the tight hair I hated it all my mother abandoned me as an infant when she found out that I was a girl, mothers who had girls Were killed mothers who had boys were brought into the kingdom and the castle to become maids while there boys were taught how to fight and become soldiers my two eldest brothers Jacob and Alex were already were in training both the age of 10, and then there was me and my twin brother Samual, My mother gave birth to twins the first was a boy and my mother was ecstatic excited to have another boy and be able to stay in the castle as a maid, and then came me, I was a twin and a girl. My brother and I had  ghostly pale skin and jet black hair, my hair has always been really long. When I was 5 it was already covering my butt. I had never met my brother and probably never would . As the years came and went I grew some muscle and I didn't look scrawny but I didn't look too buff to not look femine but it was a hidden strength. I don't remember anything that happened since I was a newborn. After mom sent me away I was found in the woods by the oldest knight Thomas. He was 38 at the time when he found me and brought me in. I was taken in by the queen and king immediately who said how perfect I looked. I was the definition of perfect my mother always said, I had beautiful hair and beautiful facial features and I was tall but not too tall. My father always said I was the definition of perfect. I was raised to be a proper princess, a proper lady, but growing up I knew something was wrong and off I wasn't normal princess I loved watching the knights train and fight and I tried to go with them when they went on missions to our rival kingdom and at the age of 17 I realized something, where my head truly laid was in fighting, on my off days from my princess duty's I would into basement and I would learn to fight I would train myself and occasionally a knight by the name of  Nathaniel would come to fight alongside me, he would always says how strong and powerful I was for my age and a girl I was a strong fighter I knew how to protect myself and throw a punch, I had taken down Nathaniel many times. I had grown to love a boy and arrow I had perfect with a bow and arrow and could hit every shot Nathaniel was around my age about 6"2 he was a year older then me and not that much taller he was very bulky and strong his muscles bulged in his shirt for being 18 years old he looked amazing. I was about 5"11 tall but not too tall, The king was very tall standing at 6"5 so I assumed that's where I got it from. My mother was 6"2. She looked intimidating with her tall stature but she was the opposite. My parents ran the kingdom of Umbris, our neighboring kingdom and our rival was the kingdom of Prophis. My father King Gabriel Quentin was a kind and loving king. Everyone called him a fair and just king, our neighbor king on the other hand not so much, I heard stories and the stuff he put his subjects through hangings with no change of a trail. if you made even the smaller mistake you were killed even taking one to many rolls when they handed out their small dinners you were killed. My mother Victoria Quentin Was a quiet women she didn't speak much but she was very tender and always made sure I had the best childhood she always tried to get to me follow my fathers rules and tried to stop us from fighting but what my father wanted for me and what I wanted were the opposite he wanted a proper lady and women someone who was the face of the kingdom a princess, Nathaniel and the rest of the knights called me a rebel, my father hated everything about it and tried much to his avail to get me to be proper he was only successful a couple times when I had to wear a dress for a Gala. I normally wore leather pants and a black jacket with black wolf fur on the shoulders and wrists except when I fought then I wore loose pants and a white tank top my father hated it as normal princesses wore dresses and heels, I wore the opposite I was a very fit girl with average size breasts and hourglass shape I guess you could say I was the ideal women as Nathaniel always teased when we fought in the ring. I was very popular around the town. I walked alongside the guards and knights checking on the women and men in the town and the kids. Every Friday I would hold a kids party with treats and games and toys. It was the least I could do to keep up our subjects' morals and moods while we prepared for a war that was soon to approach. We knew it was coming.  But now the question was. What would we have to do to win this war?
