History Webcomic / LavenderLegend

Set in the medieval kingdom of Maeve in the slightly magical land of Ever, the story introduces us to Princess Lavender, a naive BlueBlood effectively imprisoned within an opulent manor and forbidden to see or be seen by any males by order of her father, [[MagnificentBastard King Meavian]]. She is aware that there exists more to life than [[IdleRich tea parties and desserts]], and that her father has been waging a ruinous religious war against the neighboring country of Amonun for years, but she is initially powerless to change anything and is despondent over her impotence.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: {{Averted|Trope}}. Lavender is practically a prisoner in a gilded cage and not happy about it, even though she puts on a cheerful face. [[spoiler:Her mother is also a prisoner of sorts and unhappy enough to work towards overthrowing her husband.]]

* WordOfGod: [[spoiler:The creator of Lavender Legend is very explicit in the comments about referring to Felicia with masculine descriptors, and insists that Felicia is not a truly transgender character... or at least that he does not qualify as being one seeing as how he was forced to live his life as a female and has never been given a chance to figure out for himself if he is transgender or not.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithChocolate: Lavender very much agrees with this. Felicia doesn't.
