NOTES

-i already have some chapters written so just lmk if you wanna use them, see them or not but if you do use them ofc give me credit! i do also have moodboards made already so lmk if you want to use them too!

-this is also somewhat a ciara x male!oc fic too though their relationship is more on the side though if you want to focus more on them more its up to you! the male oc who will be her love interest is tobias (jared gilmore is his fc, you can change his fc & name if you want & you can decide on his personality & the trope he & ciara have too but they have to be friends) & he's on the 

-Throughout the story, focus on Harley's journey of self-discovery as she navigates her dual identity as a princess and a knight. 

-like how they have titles in the first episode of season one, harley's title is harley the valiant & her skills are being flexible & using swords, you can come up with more if you want to!

-harley has water manipulation powers, a kindhearted witch named izella who, as a way of saying thank you, had given harley the power of water manipulation bc her parents & kindgom had saved her from riker and his army. izella's homeland was taken over by riker and his army which caused her to flea to the nearest kingdom which happened to be islesia. izella is a witch in her mid twenties and harley's parents had took her in, izella became like an older sister figure to her growing up and they're still super close

-izella gave harley a gold seashell necklace that will have the ability to help her control her powers better when she has it on or when she holds it. the only people who know of her power is her family & izella so pls write a scene or a flashback maybe of arc finding out about her powers. i had planend that he finds out about it when he meets up with her at their spot by a lake in a clearing in the forest & saw her using her powers. so you can either use that idea or come up with smth different!

-harley's personality is a mix of tomboy & girly girl with a rebellious streak. she doesnt mind getting dirty & exploring the forrest but she does like her sparkle & glitter. the reason why harley wants to become a knight bc she had watched the knights in her kindgom as she grew up,  watching them in awe as they worked and protected their people. she admired their courage, skill & sense of duty, feeling drawn to their noble cause. despite her royal status, harley yearns for a life of adventure & purpose, wanting to make a difference in the world beyond the confines of the palace walls. becoming a knight symbolizes her desire to forge her own path & prove herself capable of facing any challenge that comes her way.

-her dad only let her go to the knight school in astoria bc she had told him it was the best one (when in reality she only told him that bc she had become close friends with the squad members over the years) he had made sure that she had gotten in that squad or else. so sir gareth (the teacher at the school) is a little afraid of him & treads carefully around harley's family, knowing the weight of their influence. despite this, harley remains determined to prove herself on her own merits, not just as a princess, but as a skilled knight worthy of respect. so he clearly acts like he favors harley more than the other students, a bit afraid if he didnt harley would go back to her parents & say smth bad him & the school. but harley would never do that, she values her integrity too much to resort to such tactics.

-arc and harley have known each other since they were kids. his family had started coming to the kingdom to do some trading when they stumbled upon each other. despite coming from different backgrounds, they quickly formed a strong bond, drawn together by their shared sense of adventure & curiosity about the world beyond their respective roles. over the years, their friendship deepened & they became each other's confidants, supporting & encouraging one another through thick & thin. their childhood connection forms the foundation of their unbreakable bond, shaping their journey as they navigate the challenges of training to become knights while also grappling with their growing feelings for each other.
