💙Backstory💙

Renee was born in a small village. Her mother died giving birth to her, so her father raised her alone. Her father was loving and caring towards her, and taught her many things. 

When she was 8 years old, her village was attacked by Drake’s army. During the battle, she witnessed her father be killed by Dragoth/Prince Benjamin (he was 14 at the time if anyone’s curious). Before he died, her father made her promise to forgive the prince, but she was so full of anger towards him that she forgot her promise. 

That night as she was asleep in her now empty house, Drake’s soldiers came and set every house in the village on fire. Renee passed out from smoke inhalation before she could get out. But a boy in a black cloak, whose face was cover with a black piece of cloth came in and got her out. He burned his arm pretty badly while shielding her from the flames. 

When Renee regained consciousness, she tended to his wounds with a special slave her father had taught her how to make to cure burns. The boy gave her his cloak and all of the money and food he had. Because of the cloth around his face she didn’t recognize that he was really the prince. 

She spent the next eight years wandering the streets and forests alone. She had to steal food at times in order to survive. 

One day she came across a young man named Johnathan who had been a soldier in Drake’s army. He had important information about an attack had planned, he was trying to get to the castle to warn King Henry and Queen Mea. He didn’t know how to survive in the woods, and he had a bad sense of direction and had gotten lost. So she agreed to help him get to the castle. 

When they came to the castle, they delivered the message to the king and queen of the upcoming attack. Because of the information, they were able to prevent Drake’s plan from being successful. As a reward, King Henry and Queen Mea made Johnathan a royal guard and made Renee the queen’s handmaiden, both were honored positions. 

After two years of serving as Queen Mea’s handmaiden, Renee grew very close to King Henry and Queen Mea despite what their son had done. She grew to love them as a mother and father, and they in return loved her as a daughter. 

One day, Prince Benjamin was brought back to the castle in chains. But his mother loved him so much that she took his punishment and Benjamin was set free. 

The royal council decided that Benjamin should be married since he was the king and queen’s only heir, in case something should happen to him. 

King Henry and Queen Mea chose Renee to marry Benjamin, because they loved her like a daughter and wanted her to be their daughter-in-law. Renee agreed to marry Benjamin to repay the king and queen for taking care of her, and she hoped that it might be an opportunity to make the world a better place, especially for the poor. 

She tried to be kind to Benjamin, but eventually she couldn’t bare it any longer. She snapped at him several times and even slapped him once, but she instantly regretted it and apologized for it. 

Despite how she treated him, he did everything he could to make her happy. 

Eventually she forgave him and offered him her friendship. 

Overtime their friendship slowly grew into love and eventually she realised that she had fallen in love with him.

💙Writing Hints💙

The official lore for this character has already been written as she is from a series of novels that I am writing, but I really love reading other peoples takes on her story! I really want more ‘fan fictions’ about her and Benjamin, so these are the hints for any writers out there! 

For the most part I want you to be creative and write something like what you would write if you were making a fanfic of this story. That means that you can write AU’s, a fan prequel or sequel, or rewrite the story the way you wanted it to happen.

Please don’t: 

• gender bend any of the characters 
• Ship anyone that’s not officially paired together 

I’m okay with: 

• 18+ (violence, language, smut) the contents of the story are entirely up to the writer beyond the things under the please don’ts) 
• AU (alternate universe) 

Wishlist 

• Stories about Benjamin and Renee 
• Sequels
