Before I continue about today, I should first start with a bit about my life! I am what most would call a Magus, like my older brother and sister, my parents and my grandparents. Although I am currently the strongest of my siblings and am said to be especially as I am a (which is amazing by the way, most only have one maybe two elements by I have three I have control over). I was home tutored since I was 7 in all subjects necessary for a Princess, for example:

Etiquette, Magic, Dancing, Music, Art, Math, Tongues (mainly common and beast), etc.

And I been learning all these for the past 9 years and after I choose a marriage partner I will be allowed to go to further schooling at which allows you to learn from the basics up to advanced level subjects. Which I am currently enthusiastic about going to as I am pretty much hated by my siblings and they try to ruin my life daily. I am not sure why they hate me, I expect its jealousy because of my magic talent and because my parents want either me or my brother to take the throne. I am adamant about taking the throne but I guess my brother believes I am trying to deceive him, and my sister is probably jealous she isn't even a candidate. But its not like they can cause too much pain on me otherwise my other family would notice, they mainly pull pranks of buy off guards and maids to not help me during my daily life, meaning I have to do more work myself whereas they sit of there asses getting handed everything on a silver platter.

Well lets get into the finer details of my magic talent and family:

I am a with 65% control over fire, 50% over light and 45% over earth. I am 175cm tall (5 feet 7 inches) which I think is relatively tall for a 16 year old pure Human female, I have short spiked pink hair (most call me a tomboy because of the clothing I wear and my hair style), like most women in our family I have pink hair. I have also got black eyes and a relatively face. I have a C size bust and moderate curves to match. I almost always wear adventurer clothing (of course with materials 'fit for a noble' as my mother would say) and I always carry my on my back wherever I go. The staff is about 150cm tall with the magical crystal of an Iron Boar at the top, its made of Magical Wood and is pretty much indestructible. What a staff does is channel my mana through it to empower my magic and spells.

My father is a with 65% control over light and 50% over fire. He is 200cm tall (6 feet 5 inches) and has short spiked hair like my own, just a different colour. Like all males in the family he has black hair. He has also got black eyes but he has pointed ears and a more chiseled face. He has numerous scars all over his body from his adventurer days (he decided to become an adventurer at the age of 22 until he met my mother at age 30), is quite muscular from his sword training and given off an aura of royalty. He always wears a fancy silver and gold cloak which is the colour of our family. He is now 50 years old and is a half Elf - half Human.

Like my father my brother is a but with 60% control over fire and 40% control over earth. He is short compared to our father at 185cm (6 feet), has shoulder length black greasy hair and is relatively overweight. He has got blue eyes like our mother but with pointed ears and a round chubby face. He is extremely lazy and only ever leaves if necessary. He is 18 years old and attending doing as he says 'the only good magic is attack magic'. He won't attend any of his other lessons because he thinks them pointless *hehehe*, I actually think he can't read but I will have to test him one day! He is what a typical person would call a he uses his money to force people to do his bidding and if anyone goes against him uses any means he can to get rid of them. Basically he is a dick. He is also a half Elf - half Human like father.

My sister like our mother is a but with 80% control over fire. She is called and is the typical who believes she is better than everyone else and does the same thing my brother does at the Academy. She is 17 and is attending also with the basics such as maths, Etiquette, tea ceremony, etc. She is quarter Elf - three quarter Human as she got more of my mothers genetics. She is 180cm (5 feet 9 inches), has black shoulder length hair but not as greasy as my brothers, she is slightly chubby but that is only because she eats too many cakes at tea ceremony class *hehe*. She has a E sized bust and over-sized curves. She is quite adored for her looks at the academy according to the maids I speak to (although few because of my siblings). She has got a type face although slightly chubby and has blue eyes like our mother.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Our mother. She is a with 90% control over earth. She was hailed as quite the adventurer during her life and comes from a high-noble house of the so her original name was but is now . According to the maids she used to be loved by the people and didn't discriminate until recent years when she became Royalty and my brother and sister were quite powerful within the academy. Now she believes herself better than anyone not of Royalty. She has pink hair that goes about half way down her back, it is curly and quite soft if I say so myself, has blue eyes and a face. Around her children she is quite loving but to everyone else she acts like an enemy which has caused father trouble sometimes.She has a E sized bust like my sister and moderate curves elsewhere with the same height as my sister. She is a 47 year old pure Human like myself.

Our grandmother on our mothers side is almost exactly the same as our mother except has shoulder length hair and is both the same height and has the same curves as my mother. She is called and is currently living in the castle like me, mother and father (and siblings as they are on holiday for the next month). She is 76 years old and widowed. She is quarter fox beast-man - three quarter human, her fox parts aren't even visible but she has extras such as her keener smell, stronger ears and is physically stronger than the average person like a normal fox beast-man would be but has more control over her 75% wind magic.

Our grandmother on our fathers size is called . Has shoulder length grey hair (gotten from old age), is 190cm tall (6 feet 2 inches) and is a like me but has control over 30% wind, 50% earth and 80% water. She is a pure Elf and is over 200 years old (she won't tell us the exact amount because she likely to keep it a secret). She is the headmaster of and is apart of the . She is my favourite person in our family apart from our father as she believes that everyone should be equally treated like my father does. Only problem is I don't see her very often because of her busy schedule. She is relatively thin for her height and doesn't have many curves but even for her age she is classified as a beauty and doesn't look over 30. She has a C size bust like myself also.

That is the basic introduction to our family, the only people I didn't introduce are the ones that died before I was born so I only know there looks and thats pretty much it (though I am told everyone is powerful magus in our family).

We currently live in the which is situated within a giant wall at the centre of the city, the walls only have one entrance and once inside there is only a bridge and moat until you get to the castle.

Spoiler :

I see the castle kind of like this but quite a bit larger:

Outside of what most call the is the which is pretty self explanatory, next is the where most commoner families and businesses are. Finally is the which like the name is the slums. Outside of there is the exit to and the roads to all nearby towns and villages. is situated on the northern side of the of the city and takes over all districts that side. It also only has 5 entrances:

1. From the on the east and west of the northern area

2. From the again on the east and west sides of the northern area

3. From within the

And that is my life story (more or less) and am currently stuck choosing between marriage partners. My main options are ones looking for power, ones looking for wealth, ones who are arrogant and ones who are after my looks. There are no people on the list who are in love with me, or want me because of my personality.

So I decided to give a prayer!

Alexis - 'Oh Goddess of Love and Beauty, please sent me the perfect person as a marriage partner! Someone of pure soul and heart, strong, would never betray me, would love me forever and never leave my side and finally are not in search for power or wealth!'

As soon as I finished my prayer there was a blinding pillar of light in from of the bench we were sat on! Next thing I knew when I opened my eyes there was a girl who looked to be about 14 years old leaning against a gigantic wolf looking like she was happily sleeping...

...

Alexis - "Mother, Father I choose this girl for my marriage partner!" *smiles*

Everyone in the courtyard - "WHAT?"
