herstory.
20k notes
the youngest, she was.

yet, jiwoo couldn't decide if it was more of a blessing or a curse. after all, not everything in her family was as picture perfect as it seemed to the eyes of many.

♔ the beginning

jiwoo was born on a cold autumn night. her parents had expcted a baby boy and although, both were said to have been disappointed that they were not granted such, still grew to love her with each passing day. after all, the princess, as an infant, was rather quiet, easily pacified by storytelling and lullabies. hence, the name that was given her - which, in aerokian dialect meant "to give happiness" - was deemed to befit the baby girl who, even then, was blessed with the power to bring smiles to many.

thus, it would seem that she was a favored child. not in the way her brother wonwoo was favored, no. jiwoo, simply put, was pampered. her every wish and every whim was easily granted not only by her parents but also by her siblings. seeing her smile so beautifully apparently brought joy in their home.

and that was how the princess knew that the only things she wanted in life were peace and happiness in her family.

however, she was too young to realize that not all that glitters is gold - and not everyone who is happy would remain smiling forever.

♔ the interim

her household life began to dull when her siblings slowly approached the age of puberty.

jiwoo merely watched as, one by one, her older siblings were sent off abroad or to boarding school, leaving her and the youngest males in the comforts of their home. still, it seemed that the boys were also unable to escape their parents' strict way of upbringing.

she watched as wonwoo was slowly engulfed by the title given to him by their parents, one that should have been given to joohyun or hongseok by birthright. however, it seemed that her brother's gift and natural charm has bewitched them into placing him on the pedestal, and pressing unto him such immense pressure at a young age. as a result, he became quite subdued, and jiwoo watched as he slowly lost grasp of who he should really be -- rather than, who our parents wanted him to be.

jungkook, on the other hand, was a different case. the princess watched her parents deem him a problematic child of their household, being one who thrived in the arts rather than his actual studies. frankly, jiwoo saw nothing wrong of it but their mother had insisted otherwise. as a result, jungkook rebelled more, putting a strain on his relationship with their parents.

sadly, jiwoo could only watch them crumble, helping them in any way she can. for jungkook, she oftentimes covered for him when faced with their mother; her sweet words obviously being considered more over his brash ones. for wonwoo, she treats him as humanely as possible, reminding him that he's his own person more than anything else as much as he can. even in childhood, she clung to them like how a baby longs for their mother, but, instead, it's her who aids to ground them into sanity.

the princess paved through the rest of her years with the confidence of her remaining siblings by her side and even as they fall into a rhythm of constant teasing, she knew that they're as comforted by each other's presence as she was.

♔ the present years

after leaving university, jiwoo fell into a life of constancy.

the night of the annual royal ball has changed her life, however, and currently, she's married to the boy of her dreams with twins and a little one on the way. along with promises of having a happy family with him, jiwoo vows to make him the happiest boy while he lives.

but even then, she's not forgotten who she is -- a princess of baekje, a daughter of the house of the wise -- and jiwoo's decided to pro-actively participate in their house's affairs since their declaration to take the throne.

placed under private tutoring with the youngest prince from the neighboring kingdom of gaya. she and prince changmin hit it off quite well. in the same year, jiwoo's had her first crush in the form of prince jaemin of silla. this lasted for awhile (7 years), until both of them reached the pubertal age.

— year 2011

joohyun, her eldest sister, got sent abroad to further her studies. jiwoo's household life began to dim as her siblings slowly find a path of their own.

— year 2012

dami, the second princess, got sent to boarding school for "misbehaving." frankly, jiwoo thought none of it at first but seeing the distress in her eyes when she left has her second guessing her feelings regarding the matter.

— year 2013

it was prince hongseok, this time, who got sent abroad for school. jiwoo's bond with the youngest brothers become stronger, making her more attached to them than anyone else.

— year 2015

hongseok's involvement in an accident shakes jiwoo to the core albeit not being so obvious about it. she promises to keep her siblings in check occasionally from then on. at the same year, she leaves home tutoring to pursue a degree in the same university where her brother, prince wonwoo, works at.

— year 2018

attends the annual royal ball once again and sees prince giwook for the first time. for some odd reason, jiwoo's immediately smitten and hasn't stopped thinking about him ever since.
 

— year 2019

graduates with a bachelor of arts degree, major in linguistics and minor in literature. she's spent the entire year doing whatever it is that she's liked to do, however, and along the way, has built connections with a silla royal, an advisor, and a few other people.

— year 2020

the official gilded timeline begins here.

may
the annual royal ball commences, and the king's passed a decree, stating that the throne is open for the taking. prince giwook declares his participation in such a competition. this strengthens her resolve to aid her family in taking the throne for themselves, hoping to protect giwook in case this whole thing blows up badly for goguryeo. afterwhich, a series of engagements were released through the news. 
JUNE
she contacts prince giwook for the first time, slowly closing the gap between them. he, however, tries to turn her down but overtime, they've found a rhythm of to and fro texting. jiwoo thinks being friends is enough for her. just shortly before the summer solstice festival, her engagement to the said prince was announced. he tries his best to welcome her as his fiance by arranging activities here and there.
july
the summer solstice festival ends in tragedy and they all welcome july with the goguryeo captain's funeral. not later into the month, her brother pulls a stunt and publicly breaks off his engagement with princess doyeon. jiwoo decidedly trips in order for him to run away with captain kim mingyu.
august
giwook decides to tell her about his condition. jiwoo still persists, insisting that she wants to make him the happiest before he passes one day. to her surprise, he no longer pushes her away and instead, decides on pursuing a happy marriage life with her. 
september
she and prince giwook held their wedding in a local greenhouse. they leave for atlam for their five-week honeymoon, promising to return just in time for their siblings' own wedding. jiwoo, at this time, notices giwook's love for children and insinuates wanting kids of their own.
october
she unknowingly falls pregnant during their honeymoon. by this time, she and giwook share whispers of dreams of having a happy family of seven. knowing his condition, jiwoo slowly opens up the topic of adoption to giwook.
november
after a lengthy discussion, the couple visit the orphanage to adopt a little girl named taeha. however, taeha has a twin brother, and giwook quickly decides that they'll be taking both children home. 
december
early in the month, jiwoo seeks help from a fortune teller, choi yena, to know the odds of her falling pregnant soon. by the end of the session, she experiences the strangest nausea she's ever had and decides to seek medical help. it was then she knew that she falls pregnant. she's kept it a secret from only giwook, only letting him know on christmas eve as a gift of sorts. she and the prince ended the year as a happy family with them and the twins. 
— year 2021

the current year in gilded time.

january
she approaches her brother, wonwoo, and offers herself to stand in lieu of him in their plan to capture the rebels. however, her brother stands his ground and she's forced to tell him that she's pregnant, allowing wonwoo to berate her for reckless thinking. at the end of the month, wonwoo was wedded off to princess kyungri of silla in what seemed to be the shortest wedding she's ever attended.
february
prince jaehyun dies in a car accident and she sees her husband spiral into a depressive state. she and the twins try their best to ground him to reality, which seemed to be successful. rumors of his brother's death being due to the rebels begin to surface; jiwoo tries not to pay them any heed so as not to alarm her children.
march
giwook has become busier ever since his brother's death and jiwoo suspects that he's been dealing with matters regarding the rebels. the stargazing event hosted by her family pulls her thoughts away from asking him about it. nearing the end of the event, she's realized that the "plan" has been placed into motion, subsequently leading to wonwoo's and princess chaeyoung's kidnapping. jiwoo is devastated and has spent the entire night helping in locating her brother despite her pregnancy.
april
giwook leaves to aid back-up before she even awakens and jiwoo is forced to leave her children in her chambers. the royal hall was attacked hours later. jiwoo was declared "dead" by a few rebels after they hunted her down and killed the squad who protected her. she was found after the shootout, sent to the hospital for observation due to her suffering form dehydration. her children and husband remain unscathed. the royals have been retrieved and the rebels, suppressed -- but jiwoo's suffered losses. she now sees herself as incompetent and tries to help with the restoration of baekje palace to atone for it.
may
the sillans push through with the annual ball, with jiwoo reminiscing the night she first contacted giwook personally. at the same time, jiwoo is shocked by the involvement of dami, changmin, and jisoo in scandals, and she's stressed out through the entire night rather than enjoyed it. dami, has sought for help regarding marriage and she caters her; however, her disparity with their mother has bothered jiwoo more than the former's impending marriage with her childhood crush, jaemin.
june
giwook has surprised her with a maternity shoot on a meadow located at the baekje outskirts. at the same month, the annual summer festival commences. jiwoo's little family enjoy the event with little to null problems.

7k notes
jiwoo is a daydreamer and is oftentimes found to be so lost in the clouds. it's either she's composing another poem or she's thinking about trivial matters, her thoughts jumping from one subject to the next in such a short span of time until she's forgotten what she's supposed to do presently. sometimes, it isn't her worries that flood her brain endlessly - it may be giwook, the youngest prince of goguryeo, who she's thinking of. the girl has had a crush on him for a long time that it was almost impossible for her not to go through her day without him assaulting her thoughts.

the princess is also quite level-headed, smart, and witty (witty-funny, more like). however, she's deemed to be the nation's little princess that it overshadows most of her redeeming qualities - not that she minded. she thought it actually helps her in so many ways. despite that, she's a very sweet person and a shy one, at that. it's a surprise to alot of people that she isn't the outgoing one when they'd meet her personally for the first time. after all, jiwoo tends to speak alot on social media - a trait that misleads acquaintances more often than not.

even so, jiwoo's childishness never falters once you get close enough to her. when you do, she can be petulant, teasing, and even mildly playful. those, along with being transparent to alot of things, have allowed her to keep many people by her side. still, sh's careful with who she trusts her secrets with. after all, being a princess is a delicate position to hold.

— fears
 

losing her family

— bad habits

nibbilng on her nails when anxious, pressing her tongue against the insides of her cheek when she's lying (and failing)

just quick ooc notes:
jiwoo and siwan are my plot relevant characters who have a definite character growth plotted for them (though still depending on gilded's main plot), which means my main priorities are my threads involving them. however, i still have another chara, lee dohyun, who's basically my break from all these development things. if you want to plot out connections with all of my charas and/or want to do threads with them, just hit up the specific chara in pms and i'll get to you!!

currently busy with post-graduate internship so my replies would come in late but you can mostly see me in the ooc chat !!
