Biography
Hello there! My name is Ismene Laideron. I am the daughter of the ugly princess from Riquet with the Tuft. My mother was the younger of two sisters. She was ugly and smart while her sister was pretty and dumb. Of course, Riquet chose beauty over brains, and Mom was ignored in favor of her stupid sister.

Mom figured that Riquet didn't deserve her and married a prince who was more worthy of her. I am an only child. I have a cousin named Calliope from my mom's sister, but we don't get along at all. Calliope is a bully and an airhead, and she looks down on everyone who isn't attractive.

I'm very academically gifted, and I'm good at math and science. I love tackling the harder, more academic subjects - it's fun. I encourage princesses to use their brains instead of being airheaded ditzes like my cousin and Apple White.

I hate my mother's story - I find it to be incredibly sexist. I'm not a die-hard feminist, but I still think it's ridiculous to value appearance over intelligence. That's why I am a Rebel. I think that beauty is only skin deep - who cares if a woman is beautiful? Calliope may be gorgeous, but she's very arrogant and narcissistic.
