Well, okay, Ciara isn't actually a princess. She's just the king's bastard daughter and, in fact, calling her "princess" is one of the quickest ways to piss her off. In her world, swift foxes trace their ancestry through their mother's line, and as dearly as Ciara loved her father, she still considers herself to be Deirdre's child first. But her ties to her father still put her in danger from time to time, and both of her parents saw to it she could defend herself from a very early age. Anyone who tries to kidnap her will find out that small certainly doesn't mean weak.
