And we find out even more reasons for her melancholy over this betrothal…

That explains a lot XD. But still its sad :(, too bad she can’t have a Brave ending. Where she’s free from this obligation.

Well now I feel twice as bad for her…I just want her to be happy!

OH! Well the solution to their problem is pretty obvious here!

HE wants to be with mystery lady, and SHE wants to be free to do her own thing and maybe find her own mystery lady. So just sit down, talk it over, and let each other do what they want while pretending to have a good marriage. They could end up best friends!

I mean, if there isn’t any other plot happenings going on with this.

Ooh, definitely getting a Brave vibe here XD

I wonder if that was intentional?

I was wanting to put her with the lovely dark lady, but didn’t know if I was out of line, but now…. let’s say I had a hunch.

Poor thing! Something tells me she’s not going to find balance with the prince so they both can be happy. Nothing about this betrothal looks like its going to happy.

Also, on a side note. I’ve been shooting archery for seven years now and I even taught an archery class for a while. So, I by no means mean to be rude with my next comment.

When you have an arrow pinched to the string, like the princess is doing above, the arrow would be resting on top of her fingers. Or just above them so the fletching (the feather part) doesn’t cut into her hand when she fires. Just thought you lovely ladies should know.

Thanks for letting us know! (We have a list of various errata that we plan to fix at some point – we’ll throw this on there.) ^_^

also, the forward arm should be straighter – if she’s able to bend that elbow and still draw the bow that far, the tension on the string is minimal & the arrow may fly about 6 inches before dropping. 😉 I do love the determined look on her face, though. And the joy of being on horseback & letting the horse run…! you’ve definitely got a good eye/hand for expressing emotion without overdrawing the details.

Here’s a video on the subject of traditional (mostly Medieval) archery:

This is just getting more and more tragic 🙁
