| Father: High King Alaric Enigma (513) Mother: Rosemary Whitehill (36) Stepmother: Queen Consort Maeryn Enigma (137) Half-brother: Crown Prince Ambrose Enigma (18) Half-sister: Ophelia Eurydice Enigma (7) Half-sister: Laurel Echo (14) Half-brother: Elwin Deuce (12) Half-brother: Tyrion Foxglove (3) ...and possibly others. The High King gets around. While one may not think of being royalty as a disadvantaged state of birth, Gemini was born in the worst of royal positions. That is, an illegitimate, half-mortal, many-times-spare heir to the throne. While the fae care little for whether a child is born in or out of wedlock, given their penchant for frivolous and numerous romances, being half-mortal marked Gemini as a second-class citizen, hardly fit to be a royal heir. His mother, Rosemary Whitehill, was but a forgettable tryst to the High King, Alaric; he tried, shortly after Gemini was born, to bring her to Faeire, largely to keep her within easy reach, but she went mad in the Faewild and attempted to poison the king. This was how Gemini grew up—hardly raised or supervised, left to his own devices in a palace overfull of heirs and empty of affection. Ambrose and Ophelia's mother, Maeryn, was the High King's favorite, the one he eventually married, though she had no ruling ambitions. Gemini, for his part, was quietly but clearly despised for his mother's actions; anything he wanted to learn, he had to teach himself. | Enrollment in the Iris Academy, for Gemini, was an escape from the palace—though not from the High Court, where he was seen as the disgraced excuse for an heir, the poisoner's prince. He struggled in the magic lessons that seemed to come so easily to his peers, but as a student of Theory, it was in academics that he excelled. Finally, he had something to feed his desire to understand. Another area where he discovered a talent was in swordplay. His strategic abilities and skill for thinking quickly made him a threat to even the children of nobles who'd trained at home. While this had the potential to make them despise him further, Gemini devised a new mission: he would create a louder reputation than the one pinned on him at birth. He would be polite and clever and charming, and soon the High Court would be endeared to the weak-blooded spare, ensnared by the poisoner's prince. | N/A |

writing sample
The middle of history was no time nor place for regrets.
That, Gemini told himself, was why he'd avoided the cells. It was too late now to not accept the facts: Jeong-ah Hwang had an undeniable sway over him. Nature of her veela blood, it would be easy to say, but—it was what lay beneath the shell, the mind of an equal, the spirit of a blade, that was poison to him. But unlike his peers, so quick to call a fleeting fancy true love, Gemini knew the truth: the good feeling was a lie. To give in could only hurt him.
But she hadn't been eating.
He knew Jeong-ah. He knew that he would be the last person on earth, now, that she'd break her ban for. But here he was, apple in hand, because the higher-ups had insisted that maybe Jeong-ah would listen to him.
"Don't tell me you're actually planning to starve to death here," he said, looking at the wall just over her head. "That would be far too adjacent to surrender, and you know it."
The day they'd dragged her here, his father had told him halfway up the stairs that he still had some lipstick on his mouth. Quickly, carelessly, he'd scrubbed it away with the sleeve of his shirt and shoved the thing to the back of a drawer.
It was still there.
special situations
Gemini is a prodigy in the realms of intellectualism and swordsmanship. This is balanced by him having weaker magical abilities as a half-fae, as well as being viewed as a second-class citizen due to his heritage. This trait is important to his character because it fuels his frustrated ambitions—he knows that he has the potential to be legendary and create something that will outlast him, but because of his bloodline he is forever set back.
