Scenarios On Ice

not just a pretty girl || cara nekola

You probably already know who I am already, coming from a really international-famous family and all, but I'll introduce myself anyway just in case you're one of those people who live under a rock: I'm Cara Amelia Aurora Plisetskaya-Nekola. I know, what a long name. My American grandmother named me that.

As much as I hate to mention it, I'm a princess of Russia, with my mom being the Grand Duchess.

Now you may think: Oh! You're a princess? That's so cool! You don't know how many girls in the world would kill to have a life like you!

I suppose this kind of life is alright, but just for once I want to know what it feels like to live a totally normal life. Without paparazzi flashing cameras everywhere, without all the princess lessons, without all the fancy stuff, without everyone knowing who I am.

You may ask: what was life like before we became royalty? Before my uncle Jonathan was crowned as Tsar?

I was famous before I was even born. The whole world knows my mom's family. I'd have to blame it on my maternal grandmother for giving us this kind of luxurious lifestyle. She's practically the breadwinner of the family instead of my Grandpa Yuri (even though he was already famous way before she was), who only focuses on figure skating; as you may all know, Grandma Audrey is a Hollywood actress, supermodel, and beauty queen. Grandpa Yuri and my mother Natalya are known to be legendary figure skaters, and my uncle Jonathan was a model and soccer player back in his youth though I'd say my uncle Alek would be the most popular among his siblings - him being a musician. I'm sure you've heard his songs a couple of times on the radio.

And as for my uncle Andrei... he was never the type to stand in the spotlight. He was the least-known—that is, until he passed away at the age of eight and the news have spread to the whole world. I wish I could have been able to meet him. My mother has always spoken fondly of him.

So before my uncle Jonathan even became Tsar, we were already living like royalty anyway. Good for my grandparents who knew what it was like to once live a normal life.

I really look up to my mother. Not because she's the Grand Duchess, but because she's one of the strongest and bravest people I've ever met - and I absolutely admire her work as a figure skater and the commander-in-chief of the Russian army. Although sometimes I wish she could've just removed her title as Duchess, but that would be selfish of me. I believe she kept the title just so she can help my uncle, the Tsar, along with the whole nation of Russia.

I just wish she had paid more attention to me. She lets me train as a soldier and join the army, but she seems to favor Mikasa Katsuki more. That's because Mikasa is strong and a good fighter almost as she is. And me? I may not have Mom's super strength (all I have is Charmspeak, which I find really fucking useless) but I can still fight well from all the hard training. I just wish she would notice that.

"If I had to hand my position as commander-in-chief to someone else, it would be Mikasa. She has all the potential to be a great leader of the Russian army." I overheard her saying this to Uncle Alek once. And I can say it really affected me.

What about me, mother? What about your own daughter?

It seems everyone sees me as nothing but a prissy little princess with nothing but a pretty face. I fucking hate it.

I've always had a boyish demeanor ever since I was little. I never liked Disney Princesses although I was named after one. I was more into video games that involved guns and that kind of stuff—like GTA or something. Then as I grew, I developed an interest for soccer and baseball. You can always see me wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap when I'm dressed in casual wear.

However, everyone else thinks that kind of stuff isn't suitable for a "pretty little princess" such as myself. They believe I should be more like my namesake, Princess Aurora—ladylike and all.

But do I look like I want to sing to little birdies in the forest all day and sleep for a hundred years and dance in a pink dress? Fuck no.

I want to play sports and fight in the army. That's what I want to do.

Maybe I'm not as hostile as my mother—I'm much more friendly, approachable, and calm like my father—but I am just as strong-willed and stubborn as she is. And I can and I will kick you in the guts if I want to.
