Because She was Pretty

As a warrior, her skills with the bow and arrows were without equal, but here in Narnia, she was called the gentle, renowned only by her physical attributes. All these princes, dukes, kings and other royalties of distant lands sought for her hand. They came with riches and gold, garments and exotic plants, hoping to secure a marriage proposal with her. Such acts were so superficial. How many thought to know her heart?

Then again, with her siblings being magnificent, just and valiant as they were, all she had to do was sit upon the thrones of Cair Paravel and exude the grace and beauty as one of Queens of Narnia.

And so, when she was denied re-entrance into this world, she continued to do what people thought she did best. She looked pretty - by fashioning herself with the latest trends. She attended social events simply to put on pleasant smiles and charming blushes. All the attendants showered her with attention and complimented her appearances.

However, how many knew that in the deepest chasms of her heart that she missed the unchartered lands of far-reaching forests and the glistening beaches? How many realized that beyond the pretty face was a queen who would readily take up arms to defend a place that now only existed for her once upon a time...
