APPEARANCE (General info, height/weight, eye/Hair color, build, etc.): Primrose is an average height for a woman. Standing at 5'6, with bright blue eyes, an oval-shaped face, and wheat blonde hair that sometimes turns a lighter brown during the winter. She’s on the paler side and has a thin frame.

She tends to wear her hair up in a braided bun but also likes to wear it down in loose waves. She loves bright colors, so always tries to have some sort of pop of color to whatever she’s wearing whether it be a hairpiece, a bright scarf, or jewelry.

PERSONALITY: Like her brother, Prim is a very kind woman with enough patience to put up with the most stubborn of people. She tends to be on the quiet side, acting the ever obedient woman she was raised to be. She holds herself as a proper woman who will only tolerate so much nonsense before she’ll put you in your place. Gently of course. Prim can come across as strict, ever the mother, she’s always trying to keep care of everyone else and not focus on her own issues. She finds great joy in taking care of others and volunteers her time when she can at the infirmary for the guard.
Growing up she was genuinely happy and wanted for not, however, her family was very traditional and had high expectations of her, and how she was to act. She did as told, but there is a secret side to Prim that desperately wants to do what she wants for once. To ignore her station for a day, let her go and go running in a field or meadow, what have you. Frollicking. She desperately wants to frolic. She of course has never told anyone this because of...you know...propriety. She is very much so the woman that likes to put aside responsibility for a few moments to just dance her problems out.
She loves her children with her whole being despite how difficult single motherhood can be for a mother of three. When Prim is with her children there’s a certain light about her. She doesn’t mind spending time with them at all, and even suffers separation anxiety if she’s away from one for more than a day. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for them, and nothing she wouldn’t do for her family as she cares for them in her own way. That way is generally acting as a younger version of their own mothers.
HISTORY:
Primrose Lockheed was born and raised in Aralore. She was a year old when the King and Queen were killed and Princess Alexandria was whisked away to safety. She has no memories of the life that everyone in Aralore had before their beloved king and queen were murdered. What she does remember is a hard life under the Order’s rule. When many left the slowly ruined kingdom, the Lockheed family remained, attached to the land their family had overseen for generations. The family had always been a flexible one. Not very stubborn except in clinging to what they had. They bent to the new king until there was nothing left. And when they left, it was reluctantly and with the vow to return as soon as they could.
Growing up Primrose was raised to be a proper noble lady, learning to read, write, dance, embroider, etc. She wanted for nothing, and her parents were rather lovely to her, despite how they treated her oldest brother. Shipping him abroad, to further his education, while she was to stay home and learn how to be a proper lady.
By the time they returned to the devastated Aralore before the Queen found her way home, Prim’s brother Pearce had become head of the family. Their mother had died before she could ever return home. Prim did her best to support her brother in his endeavors as he tried to do what was best for the family as well as anyone else he could help. She followed suit in offering any assistance she could, finding herself working as a nursing assistant in the military’s infirmary. It was hard work, and not something a noblewoman should have been doing, but Prim hated sitting around and wanted to be of some use, so fetching water, changing dressings, and other minor tasks was what she helped with.
She met Anthony in the infirmary one day when he’d come in with an ankle injury. After one conversation the two had hit it off almost instantly. She learned he was the son of a family military noble family. The middle son, he was doing his part in trying to better Aralore and to make it livable once more. To re-establish their home. It was admirable, and after several months of proper courting, the two were married and welcomed their first son a little under a year later. Primrose was happy with her life, and her family. Anthony had given her daughter two years after Edmund had been born. He was a good father, it was clear he adored and loved his children, as well as cared about his wife.
When war came for Aralore once more, Anthony and his brother were off to do their part while she stayed home with her children and family. The war raged for six months, and in those six months, she had good news and bad news. The good news? She discovered she was pregnant with her third child. The bad news? Anthony had been lost to the war. Devastated, the news nearly ruined her. For her children, however, she put on a brave face and did what was needed of her. Her youngest son Timothy was born months after learning Anthony was gone, and she likes to think of little Timmy as her last gift from Anthony.
Since the war, Prim has turned all her attention to her children. Making sure they’re taking care of. She volunteers when she’s able at the infirmary. Sometimes bringing the children with her to help cheer up injured soldiers. She likes to spend time at court with her friends and taking care of everyone else. She really hasn’t had the time to grieve Anthony properly yet, and it’s slowly wearing on her, but she’s staying strong.
