Roleplay Sample :

Catherine sighned heavily as she stared idle out the window of her small, narrow bedroom. Disapointed since no one was out to provide the least bit of entertainment for her, she slowly sauntered to her bed. After all it was rather late and she needed her sleep. Tomorrow will be an exciting day. Suddenly Catheirne paused in mid step, and she glanced toward her meager belonging.
" that dress really is just perfect" she thought to herself with a slight sile upon her lips. Her velvet green dress, was yet to be packed. It was her outfit of choice, and her grandmother had reluctantly agreed to let catherine wear the new dress, instead of her familiar red gown when she set out for court early in the morning. One of her grandmother's dear friend's son was to escort her. Catherine wasn;'t particularly nervouse or even the least bit afraid for her debut. She fully expected to be quite a sucess. She had been informed of her own charm constantly by her father's male acquitances.
Closing her eyes slightly, she begin to imagine her life at court. She wanted to be just as spectacular as her mother.
" There i am, dancing with the duke, and isn't he handsome. Of course he is the most handsome one there, and naturally he choses me as his partner and won't everyone just be so jeolous. " She thought to herself. She pictured her self clothed in the lovely green gown, and graciously gliding about the dance floor.
Grining to herself, Catherine open her eyes, pleased with her imagined prospect as a courtier. Strecthing out her arms languishly, Catherine walked over to her bed and climed in. And before long she was fast asleep, snoring lightly
