"Teja Meena was a complicated soul. Her quick instincts always set the wrong example of her sanity."
She was just an infant, a beautiful baby girl, a sentient being in the cold, cruel world.
She was left on the front steps of that old wretched building by the river, that building being the place where all the poor unwanted orphans and children go.
The orphanage.
It had come to her intention that the orphanage was not the correct place to be at the time. She had a mother and father whose names she didn't know, much to her demise.
Why had they left her there? Even at being a week old, she knew this wasn't the place she wanted to be, the place she HAD to be, but why was she here?
Her soft wails had caught the attention of the owner of the orphanage, a small, plump, obnoxious but kindhearted woman, who quickly took her in the old, wretched building, that building being the place where all the unwanted orphans and children go.
The orphanage.

"Don't let Wilona's beauty and grace fool you."
As a child, Wilona was snobby, picky, and spoiled.
Every parent's nightmare. Well, not entirely.
Her parents loved her with all of their hearts, a love so out of this world. They would grant a young Wilona all her wishes.
Wilona loved her hair. She loved to watch it be curled by her mother, and she loved to watch her other mother watch her back in admiration, giving her a nervous yet big grin.
Wilona didn't need makeup.
Wilona's natural beauty must be a gift from the God's themselves. Her soft skin, stunning smile, she was every girl's dream.
As the years went by, Wilona didn't really think so.

"Esther always has a trick up her sleeve, but is that always a good thing?"
Esther Eleanor Meena didn't know she was a princess, but when she found out, well, she didn't react the way her mother thought she would.
She, unlike the other girls, did NOT want to be a princess.
She abhorred the idea of being royalty. Too much work and dumb responsibilities.
That earned her a smack from her mother.
She was used to that.
Time went by.
Esther eventually figured out that there was something wrong with her.
The hallucinations weren't helping at all.

Nothing could keep her down now.
She was going to be queen.
And that's all that really mattered to Medi.
