Name: Cleopatra
Alias: Queen of Theives
Age: late 20s/early 30s??
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Appearance: Cleopatra's eyes are hazel. They often appear as brown, but in dimmer lighting, they change to a green shade. Her natural hair is light brown and wavy, with honey-blonde highlights through it. Her skin is naturally very tan, she has an athletic body type, and she stands at 5’10”. She also tends to wear a lot of jewelry, especially on her wrists. And she loves rings when she’s not holding a sword. Faceclaim Eve Best

Identifiable Marks: Cleopatra has very few scars. Most are strewn around her torso and inconsequential, but the one that always stands out the most is in line with her cleavage, directly in between her breasts. No one has dared to ask her how she got it. She also has a tattoo of two entwined snakes on her lower back

Personality: Cleopatra is often very bold, expressive, and determined. She’s seductive and flirty while also being headstrong and heartless. Cleopatra is vain, and she can also get jealous very quickly. Though people would think her to be impulsive — and she does have her moments — she's also very strategic
Likes: Sex, adventures, conquests, fighting, mind games
Dislikes: Staying put, not being the true queen
Strengths: Swordplay, flirting, daring, decisive, athletic abilities, negotiating (able to play things out in her favor)
Weaknesses: Impatient, dissatisfied, occasionally insensitive, vanity, jealousy
Quotes:
• "I will not be triumphed over.”
• "Is he a good man? …Define 'good'."
• "All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise."

(hehe here she is, sorry for the wait)

Name: Aurelia Elfor
Nickname(s): Lia
Titles: Queen
Age: Late 20's?
Gender: Cis woman, she/her
Sexuality: Bisexual, but tends to prefer women
Looks: Lia stands at 5'5", with a pear shaped, curvy body. While she is in shape, she is not exactly the most muscular of people, and there is just a certain amount of softness to her, even though she does have some muscle and is in good shape. She is white, with some light freckles across the bridge of her nose. She has wavy brown hair, that is cut at her shoulders. She doesn't have any bangs, and her hair is generally styled in a way that keeps it pulled back a little bit so that it isn't right in her face. Her eyes are a green-blue tone, though the left one appears slightly more blue than the right one does, though not enough that it's a super stark difference. Her lips are soft, and have a rosebud shape with a near-perfect cupid's bow. She has a heart-shaped face.
Identifiable Marks: Some scars flecked on her arms from fights/sparring.
Clothing style: Tends to dress nicely, since she's the queen. When more casual, is often in a set of stays or a corset, and a light skirt that only reaches her mid-calves. However, she is normally a bit more dressed up than that, generally in longer skirts or in dress pants, though she tends to wear skirts/dresses more often than pants.
Personality: Lia is generally reserved and careful, and doesn't often do things on impulse. She does her best to be a kind, just ruler, and has earned a reputation for being just that. However, that does not mean she will not enact punishment on those that break the law. She has done her best to ensure that the laws in place are fair and just, but those that break them will receive a punishment that fits the crime. She can often come across as cold or unemotional, especially during a first meeting. In private, with people she cares about, she is warmer and a little more spontaneous, though she still can be reserved.
Other: uh idk for now

(😭😭😭 sorry this isn’t super long, my energy is so drained)

Flanked by her assembly of the country's most powerful and skilled thieves, Cleopatra strode through the capital city streets with a triumphant smirk on her face. She was well aware of the stares she and her soldiers attracted. Some of hatred, some of fear, some of awe. It was common practice by now. Common enough to easily ignore.

The main road led directly to the castle gates and, behind them, the Queen herself. Cleopatra had always gotten along well enough with Aurelia. Their relationship was interesting at best, mildly hostile at worst. But now, the queen of thieves sought an audience with Her Majesty. Cleopatra knew Aurelia would have no other choice than to accept.

The folded piece of parchment in her hand had the power to change the country’s fate in the raging war around them. The enemy’s battle plans, drawn up and stolen, was something Cleopatra knew Aurelia would be willing to make a risky deal for. The Queen typically liked playing it safe, that was something Cleopatra knew after working with her for years, but for this? For a chance at winning the war and bringing peace again to the people? Aurelia wouldn’t be able to resist the offer Cleopatra intended to make.
