Princess Elizabeth Celeste - Tumblr Posts
I've always been scared of OC x Canon.
I always feared that the comfort character I had paired up with may not get along with the OC, and I remember when I made her back in 2017-18 (!) I was deeply insecure and sour about it on deviantart. Sorry to any other ocxcanon peeps I've offended!
So, with my hyperfixation around Koopalings which had resurfaced lately, I want to introduce you to this little girly.
I'm so sorry for the eyestrain, I literally made this in fricking PAINT when I was THIRTEEN.
Her name is Elizabeth. She is a princess of Skyland and an oc x canon for Ludwig Von Koopa, because haha, für Elise.
Here are more current doodles of her, but I'm struggling with a consistent style.
So here's the backstory: She is the daughter of Emperor Ed (super mario show reference) and Rosalina. Raised in a heavily prejudiced high society without a mom, she always struggled to fit in, making her suspiciously open minded.
She's quiet, undiagnosed autistic, loves art of all kinds. Her meeting and falling for Ludwig was a matter of when, rather than if. She does her best to suppress it as she works for Princess Peach, but her heart has a mind of its' own. She kept up her duties despite her heart screaming at her, aching at each maneuver to hurt the koopaling clan.
Ludwig finds her endearing because he can't stand the high society, the nobles and royal meetings, and she is the complete opposite of it. Not flashy, not holding the status quo. Not scared of bickering with him over the most pointless arguments, not being "normal" or "refined".
The moment she opened up about her feelings is when she discovered that Ludwig is a half parakoopa, making an already crushing princess absolutely enamored. With reciprocation!
She's the first princess from the toad castles (grassland, desertland, etc.) to openly speak against princess Peach and change sides. Moreover, she's the reason Ludwig ditched Pipeland to target Skyland instead. Just so the two can meet again..
Her biggest flaw is being impulsive, going with the flow. She often does things first and regrets them later. But getting into this relationship was and never will be a mistake. She doesn't give a shaite if others will look at her, a paratoad dating one of the most influential darklanders around, anymore. Being around Ludwig had influenced her to stand her ground, and Ludwig is influenced by her to let his guard down and be vulnerable.
Alas, The emperor's best friend, Ludwig's biological father Mortimer Koopa Sr., had found a way to stay around Skyland, in the form of his son.

that's the gist of what I have about her. I'm happy to hear your feedback! Just please be kind, I'm still quite insecure 🥲

So to interact with moots and other people, I'm opening requests? If you want me to draw your mario oc [ANY MARIO OC IS WELCOMED just ask] feel free to reblog with your oc, feel free to ramble about them!!
Also if you have a paring with a mario character let me know! I'll be free to draw something cute/sweet
Okay bye
he's only angry because they noticed
Coming out
There is something I've been scared to share, regarding the oc I'm developing. But as more I design her the more I'm pushed to admit it, I even changed my bio to reflect it. With Elizabeth, I had two choices. Either A. keep her relatively normal, or B. keep up her true self. As much as option A is easier, I've decided to risk it to stay authentic to her both as a character, a s/i, a person who deserves to be portrayed the way she was intended to be.
Princess Elizabeth is an age regressor.
"But what even is that?"
Picture this: you're an important person, a princess, whose decisions weigh on the whole country. You're barely an adult (she's ~21), but the pressure is on, each little move can make or break it. You're supposed to know everything. Everyone asks you about everything, you're pressured to know everything while you know in fact nothing, everything is just so overwhelming that you're feeling like a little child. And that's exactly what age regression is - reverting back to a younger state of mind as a coping mechanism. Some people do it for fun, some, like me, use it as something to make every day just a little bit more enjoyable.
"Does that mean Elizabeth is a s/i?"
Partially. I'll ensure to tag any non-canon entries about her, but back when I made her in 2018 she was intended to be a s/i, before I even knew what that meant. She's a whole character, but I don't want to lie to myself about her roots
TLDR this blog is self ship and agere friendly!
