S is for Stubborn

Paisley is the youngest of seven kids, and everyone knows how the babies in the families are spoiled rotten. It is her way or the highway when she is a young child, and she pitches a royal fit when things do not go her way. Princess Paisley is stubborn to a fault and flat out refuses to wear anything but purple dresses as a child.

She will defend all that is right in her world, and uses magic to make things go the way she thinks they should go. She always has the greater good in mind when she uses her magic as a child.  

R is for being Royal and Rude People

Being a princess sometimes, bites as Paisley would tell you. All the fancy dresses she must wear to the endless royal balls in the realm leave her feeling as if she is always on display. She hates the pomp and circumstance that comes with them. She has been known to sneak away to visit with the servants in the kitchen during the fancy balls.

She cannot stand rude people such as the evil future king of Chrystal Cavern. He is the one she is to marry on the eve of her sixteenth year. When his family comes to visit her family at the castle keep, he plays evil tricks on her. Paisley loathes the boy and wishes gargoyles would carry him away to places unknown. Somehow or other, she will get out of that one come hell or high water. 

Q is for Quests

Princess Paisley loves to go on quests. Sometimes these quests have a purpose and sometimes they are simply aimless wanderings. When she is too young to go outside by herself or she is grounded to the castle she will explore it from top to bottom.

Most often, she tricks Cadence into joining her but occasionally Paisley explores by herself. It is on those solo jaunts that more often than not the princess needs to be rescued from danger. One time she tried to sneak up to see what evil Queen Milano was up too. She almost got eaten by the creatures that surround the evil queen’s castle. 

P is for Paisley’s Portal

Paisley discovers the portal to the mortal world when she is quite young. At first, it frightens the young princess, but when she catches her grandma coming for a visit she is eager to go on a visit herself. The men that guard the portal in the great room will not let her pass. No matter how much she tries to bribe them. As a teenager, she passes though the portal with permission.

Somewhere in her fifteenth year of life, she discovers yet another talent she was born with. She can make a portal in the royal garden simply by saying the magic words. Hot Dang now she is a portal jumping princess who can cross at will. 

O is for Obsessions

As the author of this Paisley series, I guess you could say her one huge obsession is her desire to get to the mortal world. I can see why she wants to get there, but that is because I wrote it. I will share with you why she wishes to get there.

You see dear readers; Grandma Ruth is in the mortal world. Paisley’s father King Timmons banished grandma to the mortal world years ago. Ruth can visit the Eternals but she cannot ‘live’ there. Paisley got very attached to her grandma in the few precious years before the banishment occurred. Also in the mortal world is that man in the mirror. 

N is for Naughty Princess

Paisley can be very naughty at times. One of her favorite things to do is to fly around the castle late at night while everyone is sleeping. Sometimes she stays in the castle but mostly she is outside floating in the courtyard. It was during one of those nightly flying sessions that she had her first sip of the royal mead.

There is nothing wrong with sipping mead when one is an adult but her first sip happened when she was just thirteen. Thirteen in the Eternals is much different from thirteen in the mortal world. In the Eternals, time moves so much slower. Besides that, one fateful night taught her lessons she will never forget.

M is for Momma, Marriage, and Mirror

Paisley loves her mother and father with a passion that cannot be denied. She does not always follow their rules or advice as she should but that is what a child does. 

She really dislikes the prearranged marriage and she slowly falls in love with the boy in the mirror. The other side of the mirror is in the mortal world, somewhere she is forbidden to go. As usual, she finds a way to side step her father’s wishes without breaking the rules.

When she meets the boy in the mirror, her fate is sealed. Her soul feels as if it belongs with Joe but with him being a mortal man, it is forbidden. She feels as if he is mister right, and decides to let life go on as it has forever.
