The cold, winter snow of England nipped at her irritated, pink nose.

"I apologize my sweets. I didn't expect England to be so cold", She softly whispered to the small, twin snakes that peaked from her sleeves.

As they emerged their silver scales shone dully. They gave off a light hiss in response, then quickly retreated away into the warmth of her sleeves to escape the cold air.

Their mistress gave them a soft smile before she looked back up. Gaining quite the attention from onlookers she gave a sigh. She suspected her appearance was the source of the cause.

Her appearance frequently gave her the title "Albino" by many onlookers, for her complexion is on the fairer side. Although she has already expressed, to many locals, that she is not gifted of the albino genes, it doesn't deter them from calling her such. The name seems to linger over her head.

At first look, many would notice her beautiful platinum locks of hair that would shine brightly under any light. Upon closer inspection, you would then notice her beautifully smooth porcelain skin, that was complimented by the glimmer of her big, emerald eyes.

And if that was not enough to capture the attention of others, then her companions made sure she had the spotlight.

Accompanying the maiden were her scaly friends. In addition to her looks they have always caused the attention of others. Whether it be from fear, interest, or disgust.

One of the braver souls had once asked her, "My Lady, why do you carry such atrocious creatures with you? Your beauty is able to reign in dozens, if not, hundreds of suitors from all across Europe. Yet these pests are enough to discourage them all. Don't you want to be betrothed and find a husband?"

Despite the occasional compliments on her beauty and the many offers of betrothal, she had always preferred her scaly friend's charm over her own, and wishes that whoever she shall marry would also accept her precious gems.

For she has been absolutely enthralled with them ever since she was introduced to the beautiful species long ago. Which was all thanks to one of her special friends who had discovered them shortly after their birth. The very special friend in which she was currently trying to locate.


Tucking in her prized jewels she continued onward to her destination.
