Biography
Hello! I'm Karol Balladynski, the son of the late prince Kirkor and the late princess Balladyna. It's a long story for how I came to be.

My father was smitten with both my mother and her sister Alina. They were asked to gather raspberries in a pitcher - whoever won would get the prince. During the contest, Balladyna saw she was losing, so she killed Alina. A stain appeared on her forehead. She married Kirkor, Later, Kirkor went to war, and Balladyna fell in love with Kirkor's knight Kon Fostryn. Balladyna went to a hermit so he could remove her stain. He could not remove it and learned of her evil deeds.

Balladyna later gets a visit from her old love Grabiec, the lover of the nymph Goplana, and two of Goplana's servants, who expose her. That knight, Balladyna and Kostryn killed Grabiec in his sleep. During the battle of Gniezno, Kostryn defeated Kirkor, who died. Balladyna then poisoned Kostryn with a poisoned slice of bread. Balladyna was crowned queen. One day, her chancellor asked her to decide on cases pleaded by the subjects. She sentenced innocent  people for the murders of Kostryn and Alina. Balladyna's mother arrived at the palace, exposing her. Balladyna had her tortured to death. Finally, Balladyna was struck by lightning, killing her.

I was born not long before my father's death. As my mother was also dead, I was crowned king at just a few months old. My father's mother was the one who raised me, and she is acting as regent until I turn eighteen. Being king is pretty tough, especially at my age. I've had to study leadership skills and be prepared for life after I graduate. I make frequent public appearances. My grandmother has given me the best tutors to help me.

My parents were actually the first in my family to have gone to Ever After High in many years, so I go here now. I'm currently set to be the next Balladyna. I'm set to marry a princess of another kingdom. I'm very pessimistic about my role, since it involves corruption and going down a slippery slope into wickedness and cruelty. I side with the Rebels, since we need to be the ones to decide our future.

I've had struggles fitting in, since I am already a king despite my age. I try to act grown-up since my position calls for it, but sometimes I just want to be a kid. I want to spend the best years of my life having fun. I'm into sports - I'm good at swimming, running, cycling, golf, and especially field hockey. I'm on the boys' field hockey team at school.

I know I can avert repeating the history of Balladyna. I'm looking forward to a long, happy reigh, not a short, miserable one. I'd rather be true to myself instead of letting HM Grimm tell me what to do.
