The dress she had chosen was a deep emerald that complimented her delicate complexion and brought out the varying shades of green in her eyes. She had gone for a more modest approach with her dress rather than some of other girls who boasted plunging necklaces and racy slits. Her dark eyes scanned the surrounding area eager for a glimpse of the Prince who would be entering the area any minute now. She straightened up as she heard a trumpet being blown, the Prince had arrived. Finally, this was the exact moment she had prepared for.

Of course she had been late, with the long journey from her hometown and her multitude of splitting headaches, the suffering never seemed to end until at last she beheld the glittering gates of the Palace. She had never seen anything so magnificent in her life, growing up in one of the lowest castes she could never afford to go enjoy the splendor of the other towns. The sight of the Palace had brought a smile to her face despite her difficult journey and now the flashes of nervousness never seemed to cease but it was alright because it was only nervous excitement.
Getting Selected was a dream come true, a chance to leave her laborious life behind and become a whole new person. It felt good to finally breath fresh, clean air instead of the polluted smog back in her hometown. She was fairly certain everyone had heard of her hometown and not in a good way. With its high crime rate, sickly population, and polluted water it was certainly not a good destination to visit. Yet Italia was determined to put that all past her so that she would not have to feel the mournful pity that people offered. She rubbed her temples once more to prevent another one of her frequent headaches as she waited patiently for the Prince to descend down the glittering marble staircase. Her dress was simpler than most, unlike others it was not from a well-known designer but from the loving hands of her mother who had spent nearly a half month's wages on the beautiful peacock blue. She was just hoping to survive the first day because the first eliminations were always the worst with girls dropping like flies. She hardly knew how she could compete with all these stunning girl's clamoring for one man's attention. [/fancypost]
