I was BORN to royalty. That's right - born to the
current Queen and King of LostKingdom clan. I am
Statiera Courcelle, daughter to Arionchui and Warik
Courcelle. That makes ME the Princess. I never thought
I was the princess. I thought I was normal. And being
normal is okayyyyyyy. But I thought I was SPOILED normal.
Cause I was. *beams* Life was good. I lived in a medium
house in an average town. I had average wealth. I
was going to an average arts school.

My mother always said I was the most vain of my sisters.
I would spend hours brushing my hair to perfection, or
picking out what blouse or skirt I would wear that day.
Little did I know I was a princess. My mother never let
it on to me - I guess she didn't want me to be a brat
about it. Let's just say her attempts were in vain.

It was a sunny day when I discovered I was a princess.
I was getting my hair done with as many fake pigment
colors as I could in the salon, when my assistant walked
up to me with a brand new, silken dress. She whisked
me away, (hair half done, imagine that!) and into my
mansion with the brand new dress. Across the front had
a bright sash. We were going to a ball! she said. I
along with my sisters Ranei and Delamay, and aunti Carlein,
took to the carriage, where I saw my mother and father
being crowned the King and Queen. O, glorious day.

Later in my life, my parents had arranged a marriage. At
age 16, I was married to an old, faded Barbarian named
Kapa. He was filthy rich and spoiled me lots; at first,
I absolutely hated him. But one of my family's values is
love, and I have, indeed, found love inside of me. I love
Kapa with all of my heart, even if he is 88 years old.

At times in my life, though most has been incredibly
easy (being a Starlet and all), I have had some hardships.
I struggled to find myself in the world - and here, I have
found my place amongst the Muses. At first, they shut me
down - I was FAR too fabulous for them. But I had been
keeping another of my family's values in mind -
perseverance. I fought my way into the Muses, and here
I am; shining, posing, and singing my way to the top.

Life now is amazing. I live with my now 92-year-old
husband, Kapa. I have a goat, the Precocious Mr. Peanut,
who I bathe every day. My sisters and I can always be
found around the kingdoms, posing for portraits for the
Buyan and Koguryan tribune, as well as getting our hair
done at the salon, and shopping at the various
seamstresses at the kingdoms. Life is wonderful, and I
have my mother and father to thank. (Plus my sisters,
of course!)
