"Soft spot? For Britannia? No Charles, I think you’re mistaken. What you’re suggesting is absurd, I mean maybe I do let her call me ’James’ instead of the Grand Esteemed Prince but tha- well yes, I do enjoy spending time with her at court but- yes maybe I once considered joining the Carthians a long time ago because of her but I- Oh stop it Charles! You’re fired!” - James C. Morrow, Ventrue of the First Estate

"Britannia is too beautiful to hurt, too wise to discount, and too fun to leave out of anything for too long. She is a lovely, caring person, and the world would be darker without her. She is one of the ones I would defend with my life." - It

Words
Go Rin No Sho (The Book of Five Rings).
"Know the smallest things and the biggest things, the shallowest things and the deepest things. As if it were a straight road mapped out on the ground...
These things cannot be explained in detail. From one thing, know ten thousand things. When you attain the Way of strategy there will not be one thing you cannot see. You must study hard. "
From B to A
"He Touches Me" by Eliza Dunn
He touches me in mysterious ways
Only my heart can understand.
The feelings he evokes when his eyes meet mine
Are almost more than I can stand.
He gently moves, I close my eyes
And feel his love flow softly over me
Like a babbling brook, winding its way
Through the forest;
An endless stream to the sea.
The stars in the sky spell out his name,
As the clouds come racing in
To hold him closer;
As if even they,
Cannot be without him.
He only has to speak my name
And my fragile heart skips a beat
And as his tender words are uttered,
All my doubts and troubled fears
Are put to sleep.
He touches me and I am filled
With the most warm and wondrous light
It's as if before him, I was just as dark
As the dead of the longest night.
Just to gaze into his eyes
And feel his heart next to mine,
It's all I'll ever, ever ask until the end of time!
From A to B To his Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell
Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love's day;
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood;
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow.
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.
But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserv'd virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust.
The grave's a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may;
And now, like am'rous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour,
Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power.
Let us roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness, up into one ball;
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life.
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.
Love Sonnet XLV by Pablo Neruda
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because--
because--I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run
together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty
distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
Love Sonnet XI by Pablo Neruda
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
And I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.

- Britannia is a Vitelion.
- She taught Amador everything he knows.
- The peaceful Prince or perhaps the Rose between two thorns.
- After hearing that Fenris Black was once again Steward of Melbourne, Britannia was gathering an army of interstate and international kindred to once again overthrow him and Ijon Hall, and bring the city of Melbourne back to the Carthians.
- Britannia is somehow related to Ambia and Ash, the Gangrel Nomad. This explains how freakishly alike they look, and the fact that have been overheard talking in some bizarre language.
- Ambia and Huntingdon shared a kiss in Sydney. This bizarre scene was interupted when the door was bashed down, and Huntingdon was attacked by Ash, and Britannia when they heard he was assaulting their "sister". Severa of Sydney was also ready to step in, and it's lucky for Huntingdon she didn't.
- This bizarre scene was interupted when the door was bashed down, and Huntingdon was jumped by Ash, and Britannia when they heard he was shagging their "sister", Ambia, and were annoyed they hadn't been invited. Redheads, huh.
- What's got Britannia so happy? She's been looking even more radiant than normal, and spending less time on the prowl and more time in Sydney...
- Sydney? Nothing to do with Sydney, I hear she's in Brisbane. She did after all spend quite some time alone in a room with Huntingdon.
- Of course she's smiling, Britannia was seen on the arm of no fewer than four Princes at the recent gathering. Ménage a cinq anyone?
- Actually, I heard she's happy because got a record deal. She'll be joining the The Sanctified on their next album. She was certainly just seen in Sydney, although she seemed to be spending less time with the boys and more with Aaron Wilmott
- Interesting is it not the the individual who worked hardest to install the new Invictus Prince of Melbourne upon the throne is a Carthian. Bravo, I hope the first estate repay and recognise her for delivering the city into their talons.
- Discord and Britannia are old 'friends'.
- At the most recent gathering in Sydney, flowers were delivered to Britannia several times from a secret admirer. Who is he?
- The return to Melbourne of Walsingham is not 'duty' as he claims, but a belated attempt to snare 'the one that got away'...
- Britannia, Ash, Ambia and Lucinde have been observed in close conference at Court, and it's really rather striking what a resemblance they all share
- That would be because Ash is her childe - not notice the first place Ash appeared was Melbourne, and the first night she was there she was negotiating with a feral Gangrel on Brit's behalf...
- Every bodies 'friend' it would seem. The smiling assassin. Should we be wary of this one? As she cleans the blood of Lady Cerise Solana from her political blade, who does she now set her sights on. Likely those closest to her. Those she has the most to gain from seeing fail. The smile and jingle bells belie the manipulative and predatory political player beneath. Excellent work I say! Britannia for Prince I say! Whoops, sorry, I meant High Councillor. We all love democracy, lets vote!
- Britannia once threw her panties onstage at a Jakob Fury concert
- Following her experience in Hellcastle, Britannia has started injecting Raid into her bloodstream every night when she wakes up
- Britannia is a massive Prince groupie; she knows exactly what she's worth, and she only dates Princes. You couldn't afford it, buddy.
- She had to hide from Le Vigneron in order to escape being swept up in an all-night drinking session led by the good monsieur.
- Britannia challenged Le Vigneron to a "party off" on behalf of the entire Carthian covenant because she's jealous of just how good and how drunken his parties are.
- Britannia took the air with Aaron Wilmottand Huntingdon at a recent gathering in Sydney and seemed to delight in the beauty held in the fountain.
