Ellyn Singer, 18, Daughter of a Marquess
Ellyn is a strong willed woman and is very capable of self defense. Her father had her trained in self defense due to the fact they live out on the frontier and he wanted to make sure she could protect herself. Her father want's her to find a husband to take her away from the frontiers life, but Ellyn is mostly adverse to the idea as she loves living as free as she is. Her mom died five years back from pneumonia. She has only went to the ball because of her father's pleading, besides, why would the prince choose her?

Renjiro sighed as he looked around the ball room form the balcony above wearing oen of his nicer Outfits. Why must his father do this? He glanced over to his silky father, who should be in bed resting. "Dad, you should rest, I can handle this," Rnejiro tried to persuade his father again. He only got a hearty laugh that turned into a nasty cough. So with a soft sigh, Renjiro walked down the grand staircase and enter the floor, people moving out the the way bowing. "Welcome, young and old, rich and poor, please, this night is about you, enjoy yourself to the fullest," Rnejiro said, his voice echoed throughout the room and soon, the first dance started. Rnejiro took this time ot try and hid. He knew his maid was looking for him, and as he wasnt looking, he accidentally ran into Ellyn. "Ah! I'm so sorry miss," he said and quickly looked at the girl he bumped into to and was taken aback. He found interested in many women, not in a bad way, but this one stood out among the rest. He used to be trusted at the ball, but now he was grateful, for Renjiro has found the most beautiful woman ever.

Having lived on the outskirts of the Kingdom, Ellyn was not familiar with the face of the prince, so as the man bumped onto her she first narrowed her eyes and then sighed. Be civil her father had said. Even if you don't meet the prince, you still might get a suitor. So Ellyn was on her upmost behavior.
"No, My Apologies Sir. I was off in my own world, had I been paying attention I would have been able to avoid this." She said with a small bow. She was aware that she wasn't one of the higher tiers of nobility, but at the same time she wasn't at the bottom rung.

"Look like we were in the same boat," he replied softly with a gentle smile. "I'm Jiro, what would your name be angle?" He asked then he felt someone behind him and knew it was his maid. "There you are my lord," she said, pulling him back and looked at the woman and scoffed a little. Renjiro flinched and pulled away. "Ryu, as you can see, I'm socializing, please leave us," he asked. Ryu raised an eye brow and shook her head. "Your mistake my lord, but as you wish," she said, her hand rested on the hilt of her sword then slowly walked away, clearly not approving the The choice Renjiro had made.

"Ellyn Singer." She said before his maid arrived. She watched ther encounter and frowned as she said this was his mistake. Who was she to make that assumption? Ellyn immediately decided that this woman was not someone she liked. Especially the subtle way she threatened her by placing a hand on the hilt of a sword before walking away. Ellyn had been trained to defend herself, including with a sword. She would be able to hold her own with the maid, quite possibly overpower the wench.
"She is your attendant? You must be from a fairly respectable family." She said, her face smoothing into a pleasant mask.

"Ah, she, yes, she is, a maid and body guard to some extent, I don't see why, my father forced me to train," he said, ranting but then shook his head, wandering why she had to come over out of all the times she could of. "Anyways, Ellyn, such a beautiful name," he completed, his face going form annoyed at his maid to pleasant and playful. Soon, the next song came on, it was one of those slow songs and soon swarms of girls came around him. This was gonna blow his cover. He was trying hard not to say he was the prince to Ellyn. When people hear that they tend to act different than normal, which annoyed Renjiro. "Prince Renjiro, I've been looking for you," a voice came. It was a wealthy nobalwoman called Yoshi, slightly older than him who his dad really liked. Renjiro hung his head in defeat. He thought nothing could get worse, as he was just trying to have a chat with a pretty lady, the long rival family came along with their daughter, April. "Renjiro, what are you doing with, Yoshi, we all know the scandles her family has been in," April said, her voice was sweet but her intentions were not. "No, the real question is, April, why he still knows you and why he is handing around this lowly girl, you deserve much better than her, and April," Yoshi snapped back, her voice filled with disgust as she mentioned April's name and Ellyn. Renjiro was dying on the inside and gave Ellyn a look of apology. "Ladies, this was a ball for all to come, for everyone woman has beauty, and Everyman needs a good woman such as yourselves, weather your rick or your skillful," he said, hsi soothing voice calling the two rivaling girls down. At this point, the other ladies around him had gone off, since they all knew of this rivalry and decided not to get involved, which is for the better. Renjiro then took Ellyn's hand and smiled. "Ellyn, care to have this dance with me?" He tilted his head innocently as Yoshi and April gasped and almost fell backwards form shock.

This was the prince. Ellyn didn't whether to feel amusement from the absurdity of it all, or to put on a mask and get away as soon as she could. It wasn't like she was one to fall at the mere sight of someone, she wanted at leat a proper courting, but she did think Jiro was a rather pleasant person and di find him atractive. She wouldn't be against the idea of him courting her. But he was the Prince. She had nothing to offer other than her knowledge and wits as a frontiers woman,. Sure Her father had a respectable amount of knights on hand, more than must Marquess even, but if meant nothing to the ruling family.
Ellyn watched as two more Woman came and tried to woo Jiro, and insulted her. Ellyn stood taller, it wasn't hard being that she was taller than the average female at 5'8 added to the fact she usually slouched a bit. Not many men liked that she could, and would, look them in the eye. She bit back a retort that she could probably kill them quite easily in a battle as Jiro turned back to her and offere to dance.
"It would be an honor Jiro." She said, using the name he gave her fearlessly, after all if he hadn't meant for her to use it he wouldn't have given it to her.

Renjiro smiled as he lad Ellyn to the dance floor, leaving the two women behind, confused, and shocked. He pulled her in close, placing a hand at her side and the other still holding the other hand, placing a light kiss on her hand. "I'm the oen honored, to be able to dance with one of God's angles," he said, as he started to lead the dance. People around him, though their efforts were noted, looked at the prince, wondering why he made such a choice. Renjiro spotted his father, who was seated and their eyes met for a moment but Rnejiro moved away. "Tell me angle, if not form heaven, where did you come from?" He asked, keeping up his little flirt and gave a gentle smile.

"I'm no angel." Ellyn said with a soft scoff as she was led to the dance floor.
"I hail from the western frontier. My father is the Marqess out there. It can be a little hectic watching my father order around the knights in an effort to keep the natives under control, they so do like to rebel." She said with a small sigh. Sure it was fun being rather free, but as she grew older she grew more paranoid, after all they lived so close to people who would love to see them dead, or to defile her and claim her as their harem. It wasn't a thought she entertained often, but at times when the peasants were feeling rather rebellious it was an incessant thought.
"How does living in the capitol fare? Must be a more tame life than mine." Ellyn said, she was interested to know what he did around here.

Renjiro eyes lit up. "Really? That must be fun living there, allt he freedom you might have," he said with a bright smile, leading their dancing as the song soon ended and switched, and so did Renjiro and his dancing. The frontier, he was never allowed to go there, and it truely made him sad. Renjiro felt he has to go to every place within his kindom, to know and understand each life for every person. He felt that a ruler should know what it's like, instead of living in comfort, though it was comfortable, obviously. "Living here, it honestly a bit depressing. All I do is work, being shut inside and hear the news. I'm not allowed to go out for fear that I may be murder. Guards always around me, and of course, my maid, and let's say, as good as she can be, she is a tad annoying," Renjiro replied. "Tame, yes, but too much. I'm the only heir, being forced to look for a bride, and have a child," he said and sighed heavily, spinning Ellyn around slightly, as it was the part of the new dance. "One day, I want to explore the world, see everything that I cant see from my balcony, all the windows of my home, and expirence all new things, maybe even get into a tussle, a real good old fashion hand to hand." Rnejiro smiled and laughed a little. "Ah, sorry my angle, I've rambled on about myself. I want to know more about you," he said, tilting his head a little. He could feel the glares from everyone around, as he has stuck with one girl for two songs, and soon to be three of course. That is of course unless he get dragged away, physically, and no one can do that thankfully in such a crowded place.

"No offence my liege, but the frontier is such a deadly place. You never know when the natives will decide to try and invade your home in order to try and break from the king's rule. Though it is rather liberating. I had a much more liberal upbringing compared to most females of nobility. Perhaps that is why I have yet to let you leave despite filling two dances already on your calling card." Ellyn said with a small chuckle as he led her into the next dance. Surely by now people would have noticed the prince dancing with a woman of unknown origins. Payed to live on the frontier, people cared more about hiw much the insurgency was than the chuldren of the people in charge.
"Though I don't see why you entertain me, you could have your pick of girls at this ball, I am but a lowly daughter of a Marquess." She said softly.

"And because it's deadly, makes it exciting, and so is breaking social norms," Renjiro replied. Of course people noticed Renjiro decision, and he noticed as well. One more dance, it couldn't hurt. "Status to me mean nothing, I only pick those who catch my eyes, and they don't seem to be leaving you," he said, with a rather charming smile. The golden eye male was speaking the truth, since his eyes have yet to leave looking at Ellyn, and just danced. But all good things have to come to an end as the second dance ended. Of course, Renjiro was going to have one more dance, till someone pulled him away. It was his maid, Ryu, again. She glared at him and gave Ellyn a nasty glare. "My lord," She started. Renjiro sighed and let her drag him away. "I'll come back Ellyn!" He called to her, though it didn't really seem like it. At the moment, it seemed Ryu is physically stronger, and Renjiro, a rather thin and tiny frame person, was weaker. That was wrong. Renjiro asked Ryu to train him, and she did and soon enough, Renjiro came out stronger, though of course, he doesn't show it.
(Plot twist, Renjiro and Ryu are siblings)

"Thank you Jiro." She called after him, giving him a small smile before the crowds moved in between her and him. Well, at least she can say she met the prince and danced with him. He seemed very nice, Ellyn would have liked to get to know him more without all the lights and glamour of a dance. But what else could she do? She sighed softly and made her way to the refrshment table, maybe she should have a small bite to each.
