internationalhkw I actually do kind of have a plot in mind.
Princess Anja is the only child of the king of the land. Her father hired a female knight so that the knight could always be near his daughter and protect her from things that might go wrong.
Anja and her knight got along extremely well at first, until Anja realized that she was in love with her knight. Will the Knight feel the same way? Will her father approve? Will their love last?
So there's the plot... My character
Name: Amélie
Age: 22
Sex: Female

(I'm sorry that I keep literally taking forever to reply.)
Anja paced somberly around her chamber. “I hate this.” She mutters to herself shaking her head. It had been another day that she’d rather have escaped from. “I wonder if the garden wall is still out?” She asks looking out into the garden through her window. “I’d be stopped. How is it that no one understands?” She muses as she sinks into a plush chair at her vanity, the dress floating down around her.
Someone knocks at the door and she gives it a dirty look. “I’m coming.” Loudly she stands and huffs her way over to the door. She opens it and looks out into the hallway.

((That's fine. Most of the rps I'm in go a little slowly at times (sometimes with me as the reason why! xD)))
She had waited for this moment for a long time. The king had yet to introduce them, yet here she was, knocking on the door of the beautiful princess. One that she had stared at for hours at different times - if the princess tried to escape, then she made certain she was somewhere nearby to admire the defiance and strength of this woman as she was returned to safety.
Otherwise it was a glimpse here and there as she passed through the castle.
Being the only female knight, she had anxiously awaited the king's decision to her proposal: she would guard, protect, serve, and escourt the princess anywhere she wished to go. It was certain to be an improvement over protecting the Palace!
As the door finally opened, Amélie stared at the princess she was to protect. Bowing deeply, she spoke with her head facing the ground.
"Your Majesty, the king requires your presence so that we shall be officially introduced." She glanced up, eyes twinkling with mischief before she bowed her head again.
"Though I would far prefer to introduce myself before he gives you the view of the 'official version' of me..."
((If some of that made no sense, then I apologise and shall explain another time.))

(Well I've bookmarked this page. So maybe we'll be able to make some kind of progress.)
Anja looks at the woman standing in front of her and sighs. She lets a small twinkle into her eye as she sees the other woman's glint of mischief. "I see, just let me slip on my overcoat, and a pair of slippers." She says before taking a step back into her room and carefully shutting the door. She chuckles as she grabs a long purple overcoat, and throws it on top of her already blue and gold dress. She then finds a pair of worn house slippers that would be hidden by her dress. She puts them on and looks out longingly at the garden again. "Not now." She tells herself. She goes back to the door and opens it, stepping out into the hallway.
"I'm ready, and I'd like it very much if you'd introduce yourself before Father goes through his boring dry spiel. Which I'm sure that he will do."

Amélie winked as though she knew the princess' thoughts. "If we get along well in future, your majesty, then I see no reason why we cannot stray into the garden at your whim. As long as there is no hiding and you take me with you for your own protection, your father ought to be able to allow it..."
Then she coughed delicately and held out a delicate, gloved hand. "I am Amélie, and shall answer to 'Amy', if you would find that easier, Your Highness. Yet I shall not answer to it when I am addressed officially - your father shall tell you my official title and name, and in his presence I would prefer that you call me by the title."
She winked again. "It just means that he might be forced to respect me and therefore allow me to see to your safety for a longer period of time..."
Amélie bowed, her hand still outstretched as she awaited the princess' response.

Anja inhales sharply, covering her mouth with one hand. She quickly regains her composure and looks at the female knight. "I'm sorry, but how did you know that I want to visit the Gardens?" She asks before shaking her head. "Nevermind, that is too forward of me. I am sorry." She smiles "Amy, I would be overjoyed if you would accompany me to the throne room, where I'm sure my father is awaiting our arrival."
She closes the door softly behind her and quickly pats her hair to make sure its all still in place. "I'm ready if you are, Amy." She says trying out the new name for the second time.

Amélie smiled and offered her an arm. "As you wish, Your Highness..." she murmured, glancing around to ensure they were alone before speaking again.
"To answer your question, I guessed that you would much rather be outside and escaping than going to talk to your father.
I do not blame you, as it is a gloriously sunny day. If you would like, I can change my clothes to something less official and therefore harder to spot, then we can go outside."
She coughed as they were passed by a couple of servants and bowed her head until they were out of earshot again. "It's what I meant earlier: as long as I am armed and can protect you, Princess, we should be fine to go anywhere..."

Anja nods curtly as they pass a few guards, her hand remaining on Amy's arm. After they pass and Amy talks again the Princess slowly processes the thought through her head. "I like that idea, but the reason I love the garden so much, is because it's away from everyone. I can wear regular human clothing, and not have to be a dressed up pretty Princess for all the world to see."
She sighs as they get closer to the throne room, and the amount of people in guard uniforms increase. Anja nods to most of them, and they quickly bow in return. She sighs as they get nearer to the doors. "I hate the constant bowing." She says softly. The guards bow deeply before opening the door for her and Amy. Anja nods as they step into the Throne Room. "Your Majesty, I have heard that you requested my presence?" She asks releasing Amy's arm and stepping towards her father, curtsying, before standing up and smiling at him.

Amélie nodded her head as she acknowledged the Princess' point. "I understand perfectly, Your Highness. We shall leave for the garden the moment we are done with your father..." she murmured back.
"As do I, yet at least it is something done out of respect. If it is not, then I take offence and command respect by teaching them a valuable life lesson..." she whispered back below her breath.
When Anja let go of her arm, Amélie knelt on one knee in front of the King and bowed her head as she was supposed to.
((Is the King an open RPC - as in, can we both rp him when we wish/need to? && should I be rping him now? If so I'll edit this.))

((yes, I'd like to keep the King an open RPC. I'll take him until we're out of the throne room.))
Anja's father the king looks at the two women in front of him. "Please Anja, come forth and look at me." He says raising one hand and beckoning his daughter forward. She looks up and complies, walking forward until she reaches the base of the stairs up to her father's throne. She then kneels and bows her head. "You wished you see me father?" Anja asks, with her head still bowed. "Yes my dearest daughter. It has come to my attention that you are old enough to be married, and yet no one wants you because you have a history of running away. So I have made a decision. Amélie will be your personal knight, she will be with you while you are awake, and her room will be next to yours. I'm worried for your safety. This way if you want to walk the grounds, or go somewhere I know that you'll be protected."
Anja nods solemnly. "I trust that you've also fixed the hole in the Garden Wall?" Anja asks sadly. "Yes, and some of the other holes you used to escape. Amélie will walk with you in the town below, I only ask that you inform one of my personal guards before going." The king says. "Now Amélie, I'll have someone set you up in your room before you begin your duties. You are both dismissed." The King says before turning to the guard next to the throne and talking quietly with him. Anja stands and curtsies before walking to the door of the throne room. The king's guard follows her. Anja looks back at Amélie, and sighs.

Once she had bowed and stood, Amélie winked covertly at Anja. She knew that if they were together, then they would be allowed to leave through the main gates.
Otherwise, Amélie was perfectly capable of boosting them over the wall. It was thought to be too high to climb, with no visible or easy-to-use footholds, and so there was no barbed wire or spikes to hinder them. The only obstacle was the drop at the other side, and that could be fixed by ensuring that they each landed on a horse's back.
Smirking, the female knight nodded to herself: either Princess Anja would wait atop the wall for Amélie to bring the horse around, or the knight could go first - either over the top or through the front entryway - and be waiting to catch her when she jumped.
Maybe they could even form steps from the stones surrounding the wall - they had yet to be cleared away - and walk up those before knocking the 'stairway' out of existance to make sure they were neither suspected nor followed.

Anja steps out of the throne room, guards leading the way to her room, and following her. "I look like a very suspicious target this way. No wonder father wanted to give me my own personal guard." She thinks as they wander through the castle. They stop in front of Anja's room, she nods as the head guards salute her and steps into her room. "I'll be here if I'm needed." She says to no one in particular before stepping into her room and closing the large door behind her.
The guards proceed a little further down the hall and stop, motioning to a door. "This is to be your room. It used to be a nursery, and is connected to Princess Anja's room. The king figured it would be the best spot for the Princesses' new knight."

Amélie inclined her head to the guards. "I am honored to be allowed - and trusted - so close to the Princess. I shall be vigilant and ensure her safety."
She moved into the room, examining it and the door connecting them. "First, I believe I require something immovable when pushed against, yet easy enough to move when required..." she murmured, more to herself than to the guards who stood at the main door.
With a nod she turned to them and smiled politely. "I shall settle into my room and verify that the door can be locked... good day, gentlemen..."
With that she closed the door and locked it, moving to the connecting door and knocking.

Anja looks up from her desk startled at the knock coming from behind the tapestry. "Just a second." She says hurriedly closing the book she'd been reading, and straightening up her dress. She walks calmly over to the tapestry and pulls it aside, revealing the door. She places a hand on the knob before thinking better of it.
"Who is requesting permission to enter the suite of the princess?" She asks mustering up all the authority in her body to put it into that one sentence.
