Most of my OCs are "idgaf" about the whole feud thing, they're just Rebels or Royals for labelling convienence. And since most of them are from vaguely-obscure tales anyway, I think they'll be more concerned about "protecting" their tale rather than leading a life more self-driven.

I definitely think the kids prefer the Rebels to the Royals though. To me, the royals represent the idea of "privilege". Like, they grew up (usually) rich, with seemingly perfect lives, and they don't get too severe of a consequence no matter how terrible the things they do are.

We all know people to get more than they deserve, so there IS a natural instinct to hate on them.

The thing is: the Royals in canon are just as kind as the Rebels and I think we should treat them that way, rather than relying on some sort of archetype we typically cast "popular" girls as. Because popular girls aren't always vapid or mean. The most popular people I've met are also the nicest. There's a reason why they're popular, folks.
