I've decided to give a little background for this one, because I feel like Dutchess is the most broken of any EAH character. Shunned, with a story that's no good. The only way she can ever get anything is acting like a stuck up bitch, which in reality she isn't. Every night since graduation, Dutchess would visit the Wishing Well. Her biggest wish, something she wished with all her swan feathered heart, was that she could one day have a child. Sure, there was the child she'd had with Sparrow Hood. But Sparrow kept her, never letting the Swan Princess see her beloved daughter. One night, on her nightly return to the well, Dutchess heard soft crying sounds rising from the well's origin. Quickening her pace, the swan found two adorable children lying at the foot of the well upon her arrival. Dutchess was in awe, and completely dumbfounded all at once. She looked around the forest, trying to find the mother or father of the children, but found none. At this point, Dutchess was conflicted. She could leave the two children, in hopes that their family would return for them, but they could freeze or starve in that time. She decided that she would keep them, but if someone ever came looking for them she would give them up. After all, she knew not one thing about child care. A few days later, Dutchess heard a knock at the door. She expected it to be the parents of the children, and though her heart was heavy she opened the door anyway. To her surprise, Melody Piper was standing there, arms crossed slightly.

  "M-Melody?" Dutchess asked in confusion. The daughter of the pied piper explained that Sparrow has wronged her too, but she'd lost the child she had been foretold to bear. Hearing word that Dutchess had found two children in the woods, Melody had rushed over in hopes of helping to care for them. Once again, the Swan Princess found herself in awe. Of course, she did trust Melody, so she allowed her to stay. They never dated, nor married, but the two did become close friends. Almost like sisters. Dutchess named the boy and Melody, the girl. Their names were Duke and Harmony, and both grew into beautiful young people.

Duke Swan
Hair Color: black and white
Eye color: green
Usual clothing: a black tee shirt over a white sweater and dark jeans with high top shoes that are black and white.
Storybook Romance Status: He isn't dating anyone, focusing on his dancing.
Oh Curses Moment: he tends to honk....like a goose, when nervous. Like Dutchess but WORSE.

Harmony Piper
Hair color: like her aunt's, white with pink and blue in her bangs.
Eye color: purple
Usual clothing: studded bracelets and a leather jacket over a yellow tee shirt and a black pleated skirt that reaches her knees and white leggings with black boots.

Melody and Duke are very close for total strangers, you see, the Well finally gave Dutchess what she'd been after for so long. Bearing her cries of misery and sorrow in its echoing stones for years had broken its heart. Knowing that Melody was going through something similar, but worse, it drew the two girls together. Now, the two children are attending Ever After High in hopes of following in their aunt's and mother's footsteps, respectively.
