Princess Kristianna of Arendaal

Princess Kristianna of Arendaal (b. 1988) is the fourth daughter and fifth child of King Edvard V of Arendaal and Laura of Franken. She is currently fourth in line to the Crown of Arendaal, and by is both a Princess of the Kingdom of Arendaal and titular Grand Duchess of Norse Burgundy.

Like her sisters, Kristianna is considered so beautiful that many have been known to fall mute in her presence, suddenly drifting off into their minds, feeling the urge to write poems.

Sadly, the Achilles' heel of the Kristianna package is her "sweet, empty head". She's not the brightest girl, and her elocution leaves a lot to be desired (therefore, in one way, similar to her body). Her elder sister, Princess Sophia worried that if she got new ideas, "there is such a lot of room in there for them to bounce around in there that they'd do damage". Not surprisingly, she is closest to her younger sister Princess Isabelle, whose blank mind and cheerfulness mirror Kristianna's.

Despite seeming dim, Kristianna has been known to occassionally spout exceptionally astute observations on current events, much to the astonishment of her family. A collection of trite, but sometimes pithy homilies based on Kristianna's sayings was compiled in 2007 by the monk Shu-Tse.

Since seekers of wisdom always want to seek it somewhere far away, some young monks have traditionally come down from the far east and try to learn "The Way of Miss Kristianna". The seekers of enlightenment holding vigils outside Karlheim Palace never know quite what they're looking for, and Kristianna has no idea why they're bothering her.

Many a bald young monk returns to his high fastness to meditate on the strange mantra vouchsafed to him, such as "Push off, You!" and "If I see one more of you peering in at me he'll feel the edge of my hand, all right?" and " Why are you buggers all coming around here staring at my feet?"
