Catherine
You already know her from this post but I'll reintroduce her again.
She's the one that many people remember because she participated in the First Great War and her decision to lift the castle up in the sky so it couldn't be attacked anymore. She was a bit wild and this made some wish for her death. Catherine had 3 children, 2 boys, and a girl, and died giving birth to the last one.
She liked dancing and the feeling of freedom.

It's here! Allow me to introduce you to Shen and Catherine. They are Alice's grandparents from the mother's side. I talked about them separately in this and this post, but to sum up: she was a princess who eventually became the queen and he was a traveler who decides to stay because he liked her.
Here's what happened that day:
Catherine wanted everything to be perfect so she had to be very involved with all from the location, to decoration, to her dress and also Shen's costume.
About Shen's costume. He was extremely uncomfortable in it. He was used to wearing clothes where he could move freely and this tight-ass pin-pointed costume wasn't for him and he only wore something like that at his grandkids' school gathering. (it's actually a very interesting story)
At the wedding, there were guests from all around the world including lords like the vampire lord (Vlad), the dragons' lord (Olrinlor), and even the all-mighty kitsune lord himself (Ryuu). Unfortunately, Shen's brother (Wei) didn't come, but his best (Tao) friend was.
Because at that time, they didn't have cameras, they had to pose for the painting (that happened way before the wedding). Ironically, nobody knows where that painting is now.
The ceremony+party took some time (2 and a half days to be exact) because Catherine likes to party and had to form new connections and brag and dance, etc.
Unfortunately no, and I mean NO celestial being went to the wedding because they felt like something bad was about to happen but it didn't... at least not at the wedding.
But after all, everyone had a great time, Shen also got to meet new people and feel happy in general. He got to marry the woman he loved (which was very rare at the time since all the weddings were planned by parents who wanted to form alliances with more or equally powerful people).
And yes, the wedding was expensive as heck. They had a very big cake with cherries dressed in gold. There were some famous musicians, a big orchestrate with acrobats and dancers. Others include: 110 white unicorns and 88 peacocks, wedding bands made by the purest light (this means that most of the time, the rings were invisible bc...you know, but when they wanted, the rings would be this glowing energy around their fingers), 12 faires, all with different blessings, 1 million flower petals and last, but not least, a future reading (there were extremely rare at that time)
The groom and bride dance was actually nice. Both had to take some serious dance lessons before, especially Shen. It was your standard waltz since it was very easy to learn.
Yes, they did "consume their marriage" afterwords.

Day 160
Tumblr media
No, this is not royals month.
Here's another OC from "the big lore". She was not so bad as a queen but bad as a person. Her name was Catherine אור יום (pronounced as Orion), the last name inhered from her mother but changed later to Ricardo because of her marriage.
Description:
First of all, she died a long, long time ago, when she was in her thirties after giving birth to her youngest son, Michael (and no, not that one). She was around 162 cm (5'4.17), no visible scars except on the feet from walking around barefoot. She usually seemed very happy and loved dancing.
She was the third queen to come to rule in the castle and a forgotten face that not many talk about these days. Still, she's famous for the tantrums that she threw and how she attacked anyone and anything that was in her way during those times. And because she was the queen therefore everyone feared her, she got away with it.
She was the youngest daughter of queen Lenora, who died along with her other daughter and husband in a mysterious fire. Catherine was the only one who survived and became queen immediately after that. But before that incident, she was a free spirit who wanted to get away from this royal line. One day, a traveler was passing by the castle and she decided to let him stay in for some time. That man was none other than her future husband, Shen (I'll talk more about him on another day). She fell for him instantly and decided to get married to him but his parents already promised her to the elf prince, who had a great political influence at that time and could've been an ally in the war that was coming. Even with her refusal and threats of leaving, the wedding was already planned. On that day, at the ceremony, she embarrassed the prince and told him straight up that she doesn't want him and walked away with her new love interest. After that, the incident happened and she profited from this to get married to the one who she actually loved. Despite the awkward-cute persona presented, she nonetheless was very impulsive and manipulative towards people around her and also had a god complex. But even that, she kept her people relatively happy. So, after the wedding, she stayed chill for some time and then went full mask off. The problem was that her soul seem very corrupted and even presented some demonic energy around her. Nobody knows why but is speculated that her mother made a deal with The Devil before having her.
She had 3 kids with Shen, Adam, the oldest, Angela, a year after, and Michael, 3 years after Angela. Because of her job as the queen and the mentioned tantrums, she didn't spend much time with the 2 kids she had at that time, and for the 3rd one was too late.
About her husband, they did have a great relationship, at first, but quickly escalated to straight-up abuse (all kinds). He was usually trying to calm her down but actually got caught in the crossfire. They both shared a passion for knowledge and traveling, and they usually spend a lot of time in a treehouse she had in the castle's garden.
The official statement is that she died from birth complications, but some say that it was her husband, who was tired of the way he was treated.
After her death, a new queen came and her husband moved from the castle to a village.
