Precious Charming

Precious Jingde Charming, after taking some personality tests and background checks, was selected as the next haughty princess in the Danish fairy tale Peter Redhat. Precious is a Royal, for she doesn’t mind the hardships she’ll have to go through nor does she think too much about her destined marriage, as she believes there is no other way that happily ever after can be (nearly) guaranteed. She’s fine with a political marriage if she and her groom can tolerate each other. Precious thinks love and would an added bonus but friendly cooperation will do just fine.

Trivia

 * Precious came to be became I wanted to make an OC based on the song “Old Fashioned Girl” by Eartha Kitt.
 * And also because I realized I hadn’t really gotten an opportunity to design a character based on 17th century fashions.
 * Precious is the daughter of an English princess Charming and a Chinese merchant. She is distantly related to the Charmings of Sherwood Forest.
 * Making her be part Chinese is coincidentally fitting to her story in many ways. I considered having her be of other ethnicities before settling down with this choice.
 * Her appearance is loosely based on the Chinese guardian lions or “Foo Dogs”. The lion wearing s crown is also used as a symbol for England. So heck, she’s like a crowned lion.
 * Her middle name Jingde, refers to the town of Jingdezhen, a place in China known for its porcelain exports. This is a nod to the fact the princess has to sell pottery to earn a living.
 * Precious has a waifu pillow of herself, strange enough. It’s not because she’s narcissistic but rather she intends to use it as a body double in her destiny or whenever she wants to go out without disturbing anyone in her sleepovers.
