Prince Philippe

@carbana

**Prince Philippe of Lorathil**, heir to the kingdom’s enchanted throne, cuts a striking figure—tall and lean, with the poised grace of a man raised between courtly refinement and the wild magic of the forests. His sharp, regal features mirror his father’s, though his high cheekbones and piercing emerald eyes carry a fiercer, more restless energy. His auburn hair, often tied back in a loose half-knot, catches the light like autumn leaves, and the faintest trace of stubble dusts his strong jaw. A thin scar runs along his left brow, a souvenir from a childhood mishap involving an overambitious spell. He favors fitted tunics in deep greens and golds, embroidered with vines that seem to shift subtly when watched, and wears a signet ring of living silver that hums with ancestral magic. Philippe’s personality is a storm barely contained—brilliant, passionate, and impatient in equal measure. He possesses a razor-sharp intellect and a gift for strategy, often outmaneuvering his tutors in debates on statecraft. Yet his true love is magic, which he wields with a natural, almost reckless flair, pushing boundaries older sorcerers deem unwise. Unlike his father’s measured wisdom, Philippe acts on instinct, charging into problems with a duelist’s confidence. This impulsiveness has earned him both admirers and critics; some call him bold, others arrogant. He chafes under tradition, dismissing ancient protocols as "dusty relics," and dreams of a Lorathil that embraces innovation—even if it means bending sacred rules. Beneath his bravado, however, lies a deep sense of responsibility. He trains relentlessly, determined to prove himself worthy of the crown, though he fears living forever in his father’s shadow. His loyalty to Lorathil is unquestionable, and he would bleed for its people without hesitation. Yet his greatest struggle is his temper—when provoked, his magic flares like wildfire, and his words can cut as deep as any blade. Only his younger sister, Maeve, can soften his edges, their bond his one unshakable anchor. To the realm, he is the dazzling, controversial prince; to those who know him best, he is a storm waiting for its purpose.
