"In the ancient world, Amethysts were believed to hold the power to purify the body, especially from drunkenness. It was also thought that they could help cure disease, and so Amethysts were used to draw any illness out. They have been associated with royalty, nobility and spirituality because of their purple colour. In modern times, they’re used as popular semi-precious stones and are either cut into faceted gems or carved. Amethysts are also the birthstone for February. "




A character I used in my nanowrimo project. Her name is Arugula, and she is a Royal Heir. I came up with her concept first, out of all the Royal Heirs in the story. Which is how she wound up being Amethyst, when there's other Royal Heirs that fit the other aspects of Amethyst better. She is possibly the most noble, as a character trait rather than being of the noble class.

She's so pretty! Amethyst seems like a really good fit for a Royal Heir character, especially a particularly noble one.

Thank you!

I love how her body language and outfit convey a rough 'n tumble toughness that isn't necessarily noble by nature, but something a people might quite appreciate in a royal heir.

They do indeed appreciate it in her!
