(actual name tba; may be a variation "Cinder", both for the color of her fur and as a tribute to one of my late hamsters, Cinder ♥)

The rat and mouse kingdom had always been at war, but when the rat princess and mouse prince fell in love, unifying the kingdoms with their marriage (in new kingdom of Rhodentia; rodent + rhodon, rose), it looked like things would have improved; especially when the happy couple had children, two beautiful little princesses.

However, peace didn’t sit well with the mice, who thought of rats as brutes who would have surely tried to grab all of their kingdom by force, or pollute their culture with their barbarian ones. So they decided to hits two birds with one stone: kidnapping the twin princesses, so that there would be no more heirs, and leave false clues to hint at the rats being behind the tragedy. The Mouse King was aghast, and the Rat Queen couldn’t believe her people capable of such, especially after finding contrasting clues left by the mice on accident (like their white fur). The two fought over who of their people could have been, ultimately splitting up their marriage and kingdom in spite of their love.

The two princesses, however, were not killed as the plan had originally entailed: the soldier with that heavy duty could just not bring himself to do it. Instead, he left them in an orphanage far away, where the twins’ fate would have been split forever...or maybe not?
