Disclaimer: I, Sokai, do not claim ownership to the workings of W.I.T.C.H. -- I leave that honor up to Elisabetta Gnone. Nor do I own Meg Cabot's "The Princess Diaries" series (even though this story isn't even really related to the series. Just don't want to hear law suit claims LoL). However, I can and DO claim to own this story and its inspired ideas FROM said series.
Note: Not much to say, except thanks so very much for all of the reviews for the last chapter and in general. As always, your continued support and enthusiasm is very much appreciated!

Chapter Thirty Five
Wednesday, November 8th, 1:15 am,
"My Bedroom" Inside of the Presidential Suite of the Infinity Crowne Plaza Hotel
Still doing my homework, can you believe it? It's because I keep falling in and out of consciousness. Had to leave the room like fifty times to find some aspirin, too. My head's killing me!
I'm definitely going to fall asleep in every single class and then some later on today.
Oh, yeah.
But at least (as far as I know, anyway) I don't have anything major planned today (except taking a major nap).
So, on that note, I thought I'd fire up my laptop once again and dig up some information on the rest of my long lost family:

Although she does not particularly enjoy sweets, Princess Étaín has recently developed a keen interest in food styling and baking.

Princess Roice Tihana, or simply Princess Roice, was born in Osaka, Japan, in Chikako Memorial Hospital on 31 January 1995 at 8:20 pm. Her father is King Elisud, the current ruling monarch of Marsily, and her mother is Adelaide Thana Nontle DeMontaimont, Queen of Marsily (born Adelaide Thana Nontle, Princess of Rosaket).
She was christened within the Royal Family Chapel housed within the Arsiliman Palace, St. Edea's Chapel (that was re-constructed in 1876), on 14 February 1995, Valentine's Day, one month and fourteen days after her birth. Her godparents are her maternal uncle, Prince Cyril Nontle of Rosaket, and her maternal aunt, Princess Kateri Nontle of Rosaket.
Roice has two older sisters, Princess Mara (who is the heir apparent to the Marsilian throne) and Princess Étaín, born 1990 and 1992, respectfully.
She attends The Vidya School in Olrein, Marsily, where she is currently within her final year before she will attend Rori Alcalade College with both of her sisters next year. Her best courses are English and Geography.
Roice has expressed great interest within photography and astrology. In her spare time she has stated that she also enjoys stargazing, sightseeing and fencing. In addition, she has said that she would like to one day travel all over the world and "truly put (her) knowledge of geography and affinity to photography to good use." She also says that she finds mythology to be fascinating.
Princess Roice has been reported to have an impressive eidetic memory.
And that's it so far. My eyes are in terrible pain right now from keeping them open for so long, so I can't look up anything further. But that's honestly enough for me at the moment.
Yep.
Enough for me to feel even more insecure and inferior than I do within a generally speaking manner, that is.
Professional opera singer??Eidetic memory?? Oh, and able to speak only about one thousand languages, practically??
I should definitely hang up the towel right now. It's too bad that I hadn't researched my cousins before I'd made that deal with Eli earlier, or else I would have said "No, thanks" right then and there.
Because now this information about how evidently talented and fantastic these girls all are is making me feel like such a loser in comparison.
No, no.
A royal loser, pun intended.
Because, honestly here. What do I really have to show for in "competition" as a fellow princess?
I can just see what my future royal biography will write:
"Princess Wilhelmina is some American redhead who is good at science. . . . That's it."
Just one measly sentence, because that's all that will be needed to effectively showcase my utter lameness.
And this is just the personal attributes each can and do offer to society. The tip of the iceberg.
Because I've also just looked up each of their pictures. . . .
AND THEY'RE ALL THREE OF THEM DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!!
I look like a pile of puke next to them, even with my newfound makeover!! I am not even kidding (and oh, how I wish that I was)!!
Étaín is honestly the most attractive in my opinion, because she has the longest hair and looks the most like a supermodel.
Yeah.
Long, wavy coffee caramel colored hair that flows all the way to the middle of her back, steel blue eyes and wheat colored skin.
Oh yeah. And of course, a perfect, slender and lengthy body.
Well duh. With all that ballet dancing she apparently does, I'd be surprised if she wasn't.
And then Mara, I can see is the tallest of her sisters and more athletic than Étaín, which would be expected since, based upon that biography of hers, she seems to live for sports and other physical activities in addition to knowledge.
Now she sort of looks like me. Well, I mean, hair length, anyway. Although Mara's is a bit longer (especially now that I've had mine cut), just touching her shoulders. Texture wise, hers is curly, and a more dark chestnut shade variety, and her eyes are honey brown while her skin tone is definitely more dark than Étaín's.
Like a pale, smooth brown.
Basically, yet another beauty, this girl is.
And last but certainly not least is Roice. She's sort of like a blend between her two sisters, physical feature wise. Dark golden blonde hair (that I guess is shoulder length, since the picture I saw had her hair French braided), gray eyes, and toasted almond skin (kinda like Eddie's complexion, although his is a bit more tanned than hers).
Seriously, here. If these girls haven't done so already, they definitely need to do some photo shoots.
I mean, Roice is only twelve-years-old, and she already looks like a goddess much like her siblings. Clearly no "awkward phase" of puberty for this pre-teen.
And not to say that Eli isn't attractive (because I will at least give him that), but his daughters, while looking a bit like him, yes, have obviously heavily inherited their beauty from their mother.
Well, right now this is just mere speculation because I haven't yet looked up Queen Adelaide's biography or picture, but I will later.
Yeah, let me note that.
Note to self: Take a nap when I get "home" from school, and then do research on my Aunt Adelaide.
Ooh. That felt weird . . . but kinda nice to write.
"Aunt," I mean. Never have before for anything or anyone, obviously.
But yeah. It feels pretty neat to do.
Oh, right. Speaking of biography. I'm guessing it's because my debut into the whole world over is still pretty new that Mara's bio still said that she's the "heir apparent to the Marsilian throne." I mean, she definitely still will be once I say a firm, forever "No!" to accepting the crown for myself once my birthday comes, but everyone doesn't know that yet.
So I guess once someone writes up my biography, (Still a very bizarre concept to fully grasp, I might add) they will put that heir apparent crap down for me instead.
What I'm most really "nervous" about is how that will make Mara feel. I'm going to assume that maybe she's always known about me, or about the "first born rules" law, rather. But is she cool with that?
All I'm saying is I don't want my cousin whom I've never met and probably will pretty soon to hold a grudge against me just because I'm slightly older and am Mom's daughter.
Bleh.
But that's another issue for another time.
Screw the rest of my homework. I'll try to finish it during study hall.
Time for glorious, glorious sleep and dreams of Emin Evgar.
Tee hee.

End of Chapter Thirty Five
(A.N. Not bad, I guess. Had to do a lot of revisions on how I wanted to portray each sister. That is, their interests and such. The looks was easy because I've just based them upon members of my family. Yay. LoL I was going to do Ada's biography as well, but I, like Will, got tired and head started to hurt so I left it just to her daughters, the chapter's main focus. But I will do hers later, no worries. Uh . . . what else. Oh, yeah. Yes, I'd yet again made up another country, Rosaket. And anything else you might not have recognized. LoL Uh . . . That's it, I think. LoL I might draw what the cousins look like later, though, just for those who can't or won't bother to imagine them for themselves. LoL)
