Ley's Role In Their Life:  When she was younger she took the teachings of Ley as absolute fact but since growing up and especially since leaving for Boreas she has come to question some of what she used to believe as absolute truth.

Motivation: Mostly to go out and make a name and legacy for herself without her family, partially so as to prove it to herself that she can. (Also a little bit to try and find her brother and now, sister.)

Personality: Medea is trained in the ways of decorum and responsibilities; and she carries those lessons with her. While she certainly has the wit to be sharp tongued if she wished to be, the woman tends more towards keeping the peace; she is a master of using honeyed words and using her understanding of decorum to diffuse situations and move things in a direction she prefers. Not that she's really all that manipulative, simply that she wields her specific knowledge with intent.

Not that she's a soft princess, with nothing but smiles and niceties. She is a woman that is used to being respected and doesn't take to kindly to being questioned. She embodies the strength and conviction of a queen, something she categorically isn't. But Medea knows who she is and she is confident in herself and her abilities. She does not do anything she doesn't want to, a force of nature.

Medea houses a softer side, she has grown to be more open minded than she once was, though she may still resist world views that oppose her own. She also worries that too much of her identity is tied to her family's status and desires nothing more than to prove herself as worthy outside of being a princess. Still she carries a deep love for her family, her siblings and parents particularly and their pain becomes her own.

Sample Post: Medea could feel the absence of her brother and sister like a hole in her heart. The way their parents seemed to stare off into the distance whenever either of them were mentioned or the awkward silence that drowned a room when the other noble houses would mentioned their family. So she was wracked with guilt when the idea of going after Pegasus and Sphinx settled into her gut and refused to go away.

But there is stayed, growing into a conviction that she needed out; needed to learn who she was away from the stares and "My Ladies" and the all too distant throne. That she might find her missing siblings became a bonus. Medea began to reason with herself; the kingdom would hardly miss a second female heir... an oxymoron even if their mother hadn't already been a female heir herself. Her family would miss her yes, but the kingdom would hardly crumble for the lack of her presence; and if Sphinx, honest, kind, almost too good Sphinx could leave than so could she.

But she wasn't simply about to slip out in the night, not that she was gathering a retinue to go off and try to find herself. But she wasn't going to simply disappear with no word to her parents. With that she left the message for her parents with a trusted friend; a promise that she would try to keep some amount of contact and should she ever be required to return she would be willing to do so but that she felt this was a necessary journey to make.

And then she'd left, first slipping away, using her knowledge of the functions of the kingdom and where that failed her status and decorum to get out. There was no real destination in mind, simply a desire to get out and once that was accomplished to go until she found something worth sticking around for; the few rumors of her wayward siblings she gathered as she moved helped in generally guiding them in their directions but she wasn't quite sure if she'd managed to find where they had also gone when she finally found herself upon a continent that piqued her interest.
