Povtober 2023, Day 29 [Masterlist]

Jennette de Alger Obelia, the beloved crown princess of the Obelian Empire and the older sister of Athanasia de Alger Obelia, who is considered a forgotten princess.

And truthfully so, she is very much forgotten indeed. People of the Empire and their shared father cared only for their sunshine, future ruler.

Yet there was one person, one that Jenette desired most, and that wasn't Ijekiel. It was you. Whenever you were in her vicinity, the world around her didn't matter, no one else mattered, not even her father.

She was never able to catch your eye the way she wanted, all you saw in her was a friend at most, not even a close one, much to her dismay. Yet it never changed the fact that she loved to observe you.

Your whole attention was always directed to her sister, making her blood boil. Your visits were always for Athy and never for her. Do you really see her unworthy visiting? Unworthy of your companionship?

What did she ever done to you? You act so distant, it makes her heart clench in pain. One day she finally gathered the courage to ask you, what her younger sister had, that she hasn't.

She had much more of everything! What was the thing she was lacking? Yet the answer...

Your answer was nothing she could ever be prepared for, you loved her sister. You loved someone else. Her sister and not her. You didn't loved her.

She started to tremble from anger and frustration, fists clenched, eyes starting to water yet any tears never fell down her cheeks. She run away from you, before you could ask any questions, making you pale from the threat of death for making the precious princess cry.

Ever since then you were strictly forbidden from seeing your love, making both of you confused, yet inwardly you knew the reason very well, your inetraction with older princess never leaving your mind.

Athanasia never truly knew the reason for this, unlike Jennette, but that never stopped her from seeing you in secret, as she also held feelings for you.

Ever since then the older princess was always at your side, taking the place of her rival sister. The two of you grow closer with the flowing time, even after your doubt at the start. Much to her delight.

You even get so bold as to ask her for perimssion to have a sleepover with her in the castle, of course she wouldn't dare to refuse you.

She would've refused if she knew that you would sneak out at night just to meet with Athanasia.

Later on, the day of the coronation had finally came, and with that day henceforth the Obelian Empire welcomed its new ruler, Jennette de Alger Obelia.

And her first order was to make you her concubine...

No one honestly expected it, seeing you two as close friends, but the shock on your face told them all they needed to know. It was all one sided. You couldn't believe your ears, hoping that they have failed you, instead of believing what was happening.

No one would tried to do anything about it anyway, if their newly beloved queen says so, it shall be obeyed. You were left at her mercy.

The nobles that you were part of earlier, pitied you and your injust end. From being respectable and renowned noble to mere plaything of the empress, with no worth.

The only plus of this situation was the fact that you got your own palace to live it, meant for the new royal concubines, instead of living together with the emperor ones.

Speaking of the empress, she loved to spend all her free time with you. Visiting you every evening and calling you to herself on busier days.

It was great for her, the perfect harmony.. Until she caught you meeting with Athanasia. All hell broke loose.

The one person she was always trying to be better than, you were seeing her being her back, without her knowledge. That made her erupt with fury, and the next thing you know, a head rolled.

The head that once belonged to the Athanasia de Alger Obelia, the second princess of the empire, now laying on the dirt.

You couldn't say no, now your words hold no power, making you forever stuck at her side... Besides, after seeing what she had done to her kin, you don't want to risk anymore, do you?

It was so hard to find good pics of jeweled eyes Jennette TwT

Honestly in the manhwa the relationship between Jennette and Anastacius was way more interesting for me to read. Re-read the manhwa a while ago and I realize it’s because the relationship feels more genuine? Claude and Athy’s “good” relationship is based around how well Athy had acted when she was younger and Claude kinda viewing her as the last of what remains of Diana instead of Athy as her own person.

With Anastacius and Jennette, Jennette doesn’t have to do anything. He wasn’t a good dad since he was being possessed by an evil spirit but he did show moments of care that were warranted completely by himself and not because of Jennette acting or really doing anything. I think it’s why to me, Anastacius becoming a better dad to Jennette would’ve felt more genuine than Claude and Athanasia.

[sharper-than-a-serpents-tooth]

Supposing lp Jennette had not been accepted by Claude she would have ended up at worst sentenced to death for being a traitor's daughter and at best an outcast because she's a bastard child. If Claude or the Imperial wizards reveal that Jennette is a product of black magic, she'd be branded as a monster forever and even if Claude decides to spare her life, the church might request her execution or take the law into their own hands with regards to Jennette.

She can forget about her marriage with Ijekiel. Her engagement to Ijekiel hinges on the condition that the Emperor will welcome her as the second princess into the Imperial family and without his father's pressure on him Ijekiel won't indulge her crush on him anymore. Without Ijekiel's protection the noble girls will feel free to pull Jennette to pieces. Her isolated life behind the walls of the Alpheus residence barred her from making friends that would support her.

Would someone as greedy and self-serving as Roger let her remain in his house after her failure? He has no reason to, except to protect what little is left of his reputation after pulling a stunt like that in front of the assembled aristocracy. He might try to send her away to distant relatives she has never met or to the countryside until the excitement in the capital died down. Jennette might have been allowed to stay but her budget would have been cut short and she would have to live a little better than a servant. She has no life skills except for doing embroidery, cooking and cleaning. Jennette was literally raised to be someone's trad wife, but now no one will want to marry her. Whoever inherited the Judith fortune would have wanted her gone too. Officially she didn't exist for 15 years and now she has appeared out of thin air and has a right to a portion of the money and the need to request it. There is the possibility that Rosalia's husband or any other relative would send an assassin after her or blame her for a crime which would make it impossible for her to inherit. They could trick her somehow into relinquishing her right to the Judith fortune that should have been evenly split between Rosalia and Penelope.

Had Jennette protested against Rogers plan or messed it up, she would have lost everything. LP Athy on the other hand never had Claude's love. Whether Jennette had appeared or not, Claude would have continued to answer Athy's attempts at affection with cruelity. In Jennette's mind she did nothing wrong. "There was nothing she could have done for her half-sister."

Evading the Imperial wizards, shutting down those who question her paternity and accuse her of bastardy, getting harrassed by men every time she steps outside, enduring the bullying of jealous noble girls, dealing with the repercussions of her unconscious black magic use without being able to ask someone for help, keeping Claude from murdering people in cold blood. LP Jennette's life might have been a fight for survival just like Athy's.

Completed Jennette Portrait!

This version has a few more touch ups done compared to the version I uploaded on Insta (I saw all the tiny mistakes right after I uploaded lmfao) so I decided to just include them here. Nothing too big or noticeable but makes me more satisfied with the final product.

I hope you enjoy! :D

Saw this dress on Pinterest and instantly goes LP!Jennette. It shares the same structure (the ring of bows on the chest, the willowy sleeve tied by pink bow, the flower on the dress, etc) and color palette which you can compare with the pics below.

I like it, very beautiful but also mature and regal, something I think adult Jen would have wore for special occasions

[sylver-drawer]

So many Novel Athy lovers complain about how people hate on Novel Athy because she’s selfish, meanwhile I hate Lee Jihye because she dehumanizes people around her and that skews her perception of others and the situations she’s in, all while inheriting Claude’s tendency of preferring her image of [other people] rather than trying to acknowledge the real [them].

It took her eighteen years to realize she generalizes the people around her as one-dimensional characters instead of human beings (seen passively through how she treats the original cast of LP, and people she sees as mob characters like nameless and faceless nobles and girls she invites to her OWN parties), but she doesn’t dwell on or try to change that part of her, or how she treats them.

[jeweled-blue-eyes]

*grabs you by your shoulders and shakes u* After LP Jennette's death everyone will forget her. When she ceases to exist her hold over them collapses. The happy memories others have of her were a fabrication, the Jennette they cherished was an illusion created by her magic to make herself feel loved. Everything up to her beauty was fake. After her funeral no one will even remember what she looked like. They will return home wondering why they treasured that ordinary orphan girl so much, why they wasted their time and money on her. Jennette has nothing. She was born alone and she died alone and everything in between was a collossal lie. Isn't that fucked up?

[bvnga-aprikot]

in a way, Jennette reminds me of the of the phrase "a moth drawn to a flame" with how desperately she clings onto the idea of the Obelias as her 'family'. while i never got to reading the LP side-stories, the way other people describe how she mainly despised Claude because he was the one who killed her 'father' (since in the novel she was not at all related to the Obelian line) and therefore deprived her of her true family really enforces this idea.

the phrase is also interesting in the fact that obviously, the moth will die if it gets closer to the flame. i wonder if her black magic blowups are symbolic of this; Jennette's emotions over her desire of a true family gets to her head and it causes harm to others (particularly Athy and Ijekiel) and herself. she becomes selfish and feels entitled to her feelings, feeling shame for hating her loved ones but still not feel guilt at the same time. i think the departure from her novel counterpart made the circumstances of her original ending different for manhwa!Jennette, she isn't really the same Jennette and having the same exact ending play out when Spoon already made so much changes to her characterization made it not mesh well i guess...

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE 😭

[cant-write-to-save-my-life]

Modern AU kinda thing where Lp!Athy has been reborn and she's a historian and/or archeologist(she could be both tbh, and no, she doesn't remember anything and she doesn't look the same). Korea and the world as we know it doesn't really exist since... well, we are talking about a post-obelia/modern-obelia world.

(as always this will be all over the place, if I start not making sense don't be surprised because GOD THIS IS LONG AND i WROTE THIS IN AN HOUR AND A HALF)

Athanasia/Sia is part of a group where they are trying to find more information regarding the time Jennette appeared until the death of Claude/her death itself, since other researchers have found a surprising lack of information regarding that era of time even thought the small amount of information found often talked about how loved she was by the empire and, allegedly, other surrounding empires, plus how much Claude was said to have loved her.

Not only that, even when trying to use her spouse, Ijekiel, as a way to get more information, this seemed to come to a halt on the Alpheus records when it came to a certain period of time.

To top it of, old diaries and reports sometimes mentioned a third royal family member being alive and on similar age to Jennette, but the name, description or origin of this family member was a mystery.

The Royal Family of Obelia had been no more for a very long time, but the fact that a second mystery in the form of an unknown royal family member, led everyone to believe it could be tied to the disappearance of the Royal Family trademark: The Jeweled Eyes. Of course, this could be tied to the usual explanation that maybe the magic-gene that permitted this peculiar eyes became recessive at some point, but after doing some digging, the jeweled eyes of the royal family started to disappear with Jennette's first grandchild, her first son having 3 children, one of them missing the royal eyes completely, and the children of said child never inheriting this trait as well.

(Yes these people know magic existed at some point in time, but it either doesn't manifest as it did before, making it so 1% of the world population is able to wield it in a level that can't be compared to how it's used in LP/WMMAP since it's very difficult to do so or it just doesn't exist anymore)

This was more of a theory based on investigations made on the family tree, where a new ducal family, directly related to the emperor at that time, never inherited the eyes as confirmed by some salvaged paintings.

All the missing information just made Sia excited, this just meant she and her team had to start using every piece of information and treat it as a potential clue. And thanks to that, they managed to hit a lead to the York household.

The York's had fallen out of nobility some time during Jennette's reign, with reasons unknown, but information in an old diary from a head maid mentioned a woman with the name of Lilian York was the head maid in the Ruby Palace.

It was very hard to find if the York's had any living relatives, but thankfully they did. They were a normal working family, and even thought they knew of what their family once was, they had very clear that everything was in the past. Grandmother of the family was the one who gave them two heavy medium sized boxes with information of their family. The woman said that she was finally giving them to people who will actually do some sense to all the things in said boxes.

As obvious things happen, they learn that Lily was Athy's nanny, and they obviously learn of Athanasia's existence and death.

But also the aftermath.

Lilian's family(don't know who) had decided to keep information regarding her and Athanasia simply to honor Lily's memory at first, but after it was revealed that Athanasia(and Lily by relation) died for nothing since the true culprit was Jennette's aunt, Countess Rosalia, they decided to keep archiving everything for the sake of justice and to never forget.

In the boxes they found the frustration the matriarch was feeling due to the situation, and how they were the ones to renounce to their title and privileges 10 years after everything had happened. Why?

Because they were tired of the circus nobility had created to cater to the, at the time, Princess Jennette de Alger Obelia.

Jennette never really "got over" Athanasias unjust death, but the amount of time she spent mourning was strange and bizarre for the Yorks, the(at the time) Princess was always someone who always showed herself as sentimental and empathetic. But only mourning the unjust death of her sister which she claimed she was close to for a week? Strange. But not as important as what nobility did.

Since it was discovered that Rosalia was the one behind the poisoning, the nobles has decided that whenever Princess Athanasia was mentioned and Princess/Empress Jennette was present, they would fill their mouths with false sentiments of longing, saying how they always knew Athanasia was innocent, that they always viewed her as beautiful even if she didn't have the money to have the dresses of the current season, how they always felt bad whenever she was bullied, how much they wished they were more brave as to defend her and befriend her. How Lilian York was such a brave woman to never backdown even before the emperor, how diligent Lilian was to not leave the abandoned princess, daughter of a dancer, behind and go back to her family.

How great women they both were.

Lies, all of it lies.

But Princess Jennette always appreciated those words, this actions making some noble ladies from count families to become very close to her.

It was sickening.

And for that, after the second prince of the empire was 5 years old, the York family resign from their titles and lands, the now Empress Jenette asked them why, but the heads of the family never gave her a reason.

Between all of the diary entries there were incredibly well preserved portraits. One of Lilian York when she was maybe 15 or 17 years old, and another of Princess Athanasia when she was 11 or 13 years old.

One mystery to take off the list, right? Wrong.

Thanks to the painting of Princess Athanasia, immediately one of those on the team pointed out how the eyes of the princess looked different from those of princess jennette. At first everyone thought it would simply be due to the artist having a different perspective on how they painted the eyes, but after careful examination and comparisons with the portraits of Claude de Alger Obelia, it was confirmed that the eyes of Jennette and her children had a different hue than the other two royals. They didn't look as bright and it seemed that they were even dimmed or were dimming out through time, in some portraits the eyes of the only princess of born of Ijekiel and Jennette, seemed to have simple blue eyes.

With this findings Sia's investigation group was applauded and praised all around. But despite that, Sia was only happy to finally put one of the greatest mysteries of the Obelian Royal family to rest, and provide more information to the other.

For her, it felt as if some dead weight was lifted off her shoulders.

Summary : Jennette from Lovely princess turns back time and saves Athy

[atlaszxu]

I don’t get where the LP Jennette hate came from, did I miss something? I don’t think much was stated about her, unless it was in the novel? I haven’t gotten around to reading that yet so it might have said something more on her, but from my impression of LP Jennette it just seemed she was like regular, manhwa Jennette. A bit naive but kind, and she seemed to have cared for Athanasia. I assumed she couldn’t vouche for Athy since she was passed out from the poison unlike what I’ve seen others say prior. Did I miss something? 😅

[sharper-than-a-serpents-tooth]

Headcanon that Jennette is highly intelligent but she refuses to do anything Roger wants. I think she understands a lot earlier than Ijekiel that Roger's affection is semi-conditional, and she withholds achievements from him in order to set the bar lower. Child Jennette would stubbornly refuse to learn how to read and write, driving Roger almost to despair, until he promises her a reward for each letter she learns to write. When she finally writes her nickname "Jetty" in shaky letters he is so happy he promptly buys her a new dollhouse. In comparision to Jennette the only thing Ijekiel gets when he shows Roger his report card full of A+'s, is a pat on the shoulder and a "I knew you would be the best. You are my son after all." and the unsaid (anything less would have been unacceptable). Jennette would basically pretend to have a learning disability to force Ijekiel to tutor her and then get showered in privileges and gifts when she does the bare minimum. She would study in secret and when Ijekiel announces that he was accepted at Arlanta, Jennette interrupts his big moment and happily waves her own admission letter.

Ijekiel: You got into the boarding school of Arlanta? But you just learned how to write your name last week!

jennette sketch!! i've been wanting to draw her for a while, and decided last minute i'd half ass a valentines theme (mainly in the aesthetics sense than any actual romantic aspects). i guess it'd show more once it's colored in (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

i don't think i'll have it ready in time for tomorrow (valentines for me). i think the sketch came out exceptionally nice, and because of that i'm intimidated to start cleaning it up and rendering it for fear of ruining it </3

i'll do my best though.

enjoy the wip and timelapse for now! it's tumblr exclusive ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა ᡣ𐭩
