Dreams suck. Idris can tell you that. She was a knight for about five minutes till she was kicked out of the castle for being a girl. Or Alvira. She just wanted to be a good fairy and help a princess, but she got stepped on by a witch. Or Zepheriah. She's a pirate that wanted to renounce her ways but the thrill of stealing was too tempting. Even Sieran. All she wanted to do was stop killing people with her voice. Instead she ended up owing a debt to a warlock (nasty business). The point is: Their lives aren't fairytales. Fairytales make it seem easy. But this is a new kind of tale. One that certainly doesn't do 'happily ever after'.

Let's get the facts straight. I am no heroine and I will never bring pride to my family. I am what you could call a failure. My grades? Average. My social life? Average. Talents? Hmm... well, I think I have none. I'm not exceptional in any way and I know I'm a disappointment for my father. And in this day and age there's no way I could just take my father's place to save him from a horrible fate.  There is a huge weight on my shoulders but I can't carry it no matter how hard I try. I have no idea what I can do, I only know what I can't do. Yet I still would try anything to make my father proud, even just once. Oh right, I forgot to tell you whom I was name after. Yes, I was named after Mulan, that bright heroine who saved China and brought pride to her family. Talk about big expectations. But Mulan doesn't suit me, so it's just Ann. -:-:- BOOK #4 in the Aware Princess Series flower: Peony, it symbolises "Prosperity, honor (in China)."
