Examples of Character traits in the script

The maid's cheekiness and lust

MAID

'What a choice of fine specimens you have to pick from Bella, i must say i am very jealous'

Maid snatches a glass of wine off of a nearby waiters serving tray and takes a large gulp before fanning her red face with her hands

Prince Kakhan's magical entrance

The room suddenly goes a little darker and everyone goes quite. A phalanx of topless women wearing various pointy masks enter half of them are carrying torches bearing flames which flicker with red in the centre of them, the other half are beating drums, in the centre of them is a black pyramid. As they enter they start swirling into a circular formation surrounding the triangular object in the middle. Suddenly they stop where they are and the drumming ceases. A dark reddish mist engulfs the pyramid as its sides peel of exposing a dark cloaked figure. As the smoke settles the women scatter off leaving the dark figure on his own in the centre of the room. He takes of his cloak showing a very tall and strong man with a darker complexion and looming presence. He would be horrific to look at if it was not for his devilishly good looks which make the majority of females in the room blush. He speaks in a foreign sexy accent.

Prince Kakhan's smooth flirtation

P KAKHAN
Hello there little princess may i say you look more rare and exotic than the Silene Tomentosa

BELLA
What is that?

P KAKHAN

It is an extremely rare lily flower found only on the high cliffs of Gibraltair, you are an extremely rare flower, very rarely do i come across a specimen of such beauty

Mothers controlling ways

MOTHER
Yes dear we all do but we wouldn't want your second name to be that of a mere sheep herder would we

Mother moves back over to the window and looks out at approaching line carriages each with a different sigils denoting different princes, she makes out the dark grandious carriage of Prince Lucas and smiles in a sinister wanting way

Bella's questioning of the princes actions and morals 

BELLA
It is plain to see that you are the life and soul of the party Prince Christopher but surely your on going activities are just running you into a pit of despair, do you not get sick and tired of the same fake delights? What is the reasoning for your lifestyle?

Prince Christopher gets defensive and starts to look angry and upset by what Bella has just said, he takes a swig of wine 

P CHRISTOPHER
Don't you dare speak to me like that you stupid little girl! You know nothing! 

Prince Christophers kind heart coming to the surface

P CHRISTOPHER
It was my father, i wasn't always like this you know, i was once a kind, caring man, the last thing you would catch me doing was drinking myself silly with whores,
flashback of Prince Christopher ruling his people... going to his father for money... his father shouting at him... Christopher becoming a drunk and his people sad

P CHRISTOPHER
i was once a fine ruler who was fair and just to my people and i was happy. But my kingdom wasn't big and it certainly wasn't rich in fact i had to borrow money off my father many times to keep it afloat. But my father he was a hard man and he always mocked me for my failures. This longing to make him proud bent me into a man who's only goal was money... 

Prince Daniels Nerdiness/clumsiness

Bella's gaze falls on the remaining blue fish and then onto a boy sitting in the room behind the fish tank dressed in blue, he is thin, very nerdy looking with glasses and curly hair and he is reading a book. He puts the book down and approaches the other side of the fish tank not realising Bella is there. There is another fish the other end of the tank that is caught on an ornament and is struggling to get loose. He free's it, takes the sharp ornament out of the tank and feeds it. He see's Bella shortly after this and is surprised. He runs away out the back door of the reading room because he is so shy.
