Biograhy[]
Hello! My name is Mitra Bandar. I am the son of Prince Monkey. My father was the youngest of seven sons born to his father's seven wives. He was born with a monkey skin that he could put on to turn into a monkey and take off to become human again. After being given a horse and clothes, he went with his brothers to try to win the princess Jahuran, the daughter of the neighboring raja, who would marry any man who struck her with a heavy ball. He managed to win her over by throwing the heavy ball at her three times. She then shot an arrow to find out who had hit her. She then found Prince Monkey, and decided to marry. One night, after attending a nautch, his wife burned the monkey skin. At first he was angry, but the next day she showed him to his mother and father, who were glad to be reunited with their handsome son.
My parents are happy together, and they live together in my grandparents' palace. I am one of their six children. I have two older brothers and three older sisters. We live in peace with my grandfather the raja and my grandmother the rani. I am close with my parents and paternal grandparents, as well as my maternal grandparents. My uncles are not married, but they each adopted a son so they could continue the story.
I love monkeys. They are highly revered in my family's kingdom - near our palace is a temple where the monkeys roam around freely and are given plenty to eat. I was given my own monkey skin as a baby, and it has grown with me. I don't wear it all the time, but I like to keep it with me. I store it with my clothes. There are plenty of monkeys in my family's kingdom, and I like to talk to them while I'm wearing my monkey skin. Although sometimes it gets a little hot wearing it - I sweat a lot. (No, my favorite food is not bananas. Monkeys eat a lot more than just bananas.)
I like going to Ever After High. There's a lot to do here, plus monkeys to meet in Beast Training and Care. I also love Cooking Class-ic, where I get to try a lot of cool recipes. I've made a best friend in the form of my roommate Lelio. He's really sweet. We do a lot of stuff together - we play video games, read books, and watch television together. Lelio likes cooking too, and sometimes I help Lelio with his cooking. We've taught each other a lot about cooking.
I'm an outdoors person. I just love being outdoors - I love to take walks in the woods, go swimming, climb trees, and of course make use of my monkey skin. Plus I love being around animals. My parents prefer to spend most of their time indoors, so I feel pretty different from them. I think getting plenty of sunlight is a good thing. Sometimes my parents are concerned about me being outdoors all the time, but I always tell them that I like being outside. Being inside all the time can get rather boring, and I'd rather be outside on a beautiful day. The only downside to it is that there's lots of bugs outside, and we have some pretty big bugs here in India due to the warm climate.
I am good at tying knots, and I love to do macrame. I've decorated my room with all sorts of macrame. My paternal grandmother taught me how to do it. I can even make macrame animals - I've made some colorful macrame monkeys for my room. Lelio likes playing with them. I even made Lelio a little macrame scarf for his doll. And there's one more thing I'm good at - I am very good at playing the piano. I've been taking piano lessons since I was eight, and now I've been very skilled at it. Sometimes I have piano recitals and I invite my friends to come see them. I can even play the piano when I'm in my monkey form. But remember, someday monkey won't play piano song, play piano song.
I'm definitely a Royal since I'd love to continue my family's story. Although to be honest, I don't want to hit anyone with an iron ball. I'm not the type to hit people with things. I know I'm very different from my parents, but my story isn't too bad. I think I'll be willing to live out my story. Plus my friend Lelio is a Royal, and we should support each other as we get through school.
Goodbye!
