Cleo is everything a heroine shouldn't be. Prideful, arrogant, obnoxious, rude, badly mannered, egotistical, and generally of the opinion that she is superior to everyone and everything. She handles a sword better than her cutlery, and loathes the "weakness" she associates with acting feminine. She's the first cousin of the royal heirs, and has grown up entirely too pampered.
All that changes when someone comes along and curses her. And what curse could be better, but a curse to forever be seen as a "damsel in distress"?
And much as she plans on being her own knight in shining armor, she might have to let someone else save her for once.
