Ok so check out this dream I had.
Warlord Werewolf: He united the werewolf clans through battle. Strength is super important in this feudal world. Might makes right. He’s been ruling for twenty years. Everyone is concerned about the succession bc he hasn’t found his mate and no mate equals no babies. He’s weary and has already taken a strong female warrior as a lover.
Smart Queen: She’s been ignored all of her life bc she’s not physically impressive but she’s smart and observant. Her older brother is slated to take over their clan and has been learning from tutors his entire life. She lurks and learns battle strategy, languages, economics, and politics. She knows she is the next queen bc she dreams his memories. He doesn’t dream hers bc she cut him off mentally. Anyway the point is that she’s been preparing for her rule for years. She knows they (different factions at court) will try to run over her bc of her size, age, and perceived timidness.
At the big winter holiday, the clans meet to give tithes to their King. She’s invited bc she is from a strong if out of favor clan. Her dad and brother plan to send her to a convent on the way back home and tell her to sit still and don’t embarrass them. She decides that she’s ready. She starts walking to the front of the room. Halfway there, her brother notices her and runs up but it’s too late. She stares into his eyes and calmly walks up to his throne. His council and the powerful families are at the high table and start whispering “who is that?” “That’s lord’s so and sos embarrassment. Isn’t she small and weak. I heard the poor thing was dumb as well as feeble.” She stands still looking at him not moving. Finally she says “is that anyway to talk about your queen?” They laugh. She doesn’t move. And then I became aware that is was a dream which always ruins the plot of the dream but I get to do way cooler stuff
