💋 (Feyd for Irulan)

Send 💋 get a kiss | 1\5 (still accepting)

It's one of those endless games courtly young men are expected to play to show their potential prowess in war. Most made it more of a dance but the Harkonnen was like a lion among cats. Even the Padishah Emperor normally so indifferent to the games watched with rapt attention. Finally the question was asked, what shall your reward be, young Harkonnen?

A kiss.

His eyes are fixed on her. Mouths parted and gasped. Impudent. But when the question was put to her as to whether or not she would accept she said nothing, she only leaned forward on the royal dais and pressed her lips to his forehead. "For the winner."

Muse Preview- Irulan

In her girlhood she had read a story of a sea maid who had no soul and instead watched the world from beneath the waves. It had struck her even then that she and her sisters where like those sea maids watching in the waters. Watching the world of their father, the court, only to allowed to surface without a voice.

They had no space to cultivate their souls even if they had one. They were in a sense branded with their father's name, molded in the kiln of their mother and her Bene Gesserit sisterhood for their own ends and the ends of the Great Houses who coveted them like keys to unlocked rooms and unattended thrones.

Need to Knows

Irulan can be a bitch. She definetly has something of a petty streak in her and can come across as fairly emotional for a Bene Gesserit adept.

She's considered something of a disappointment by the Bene Gesserit not only because of the above, her inability to seduce Paul after their marriage but Irulan also has a very strong will of her own. She isn't afraid to push back against her Bene Gesserit teachers.

She is fiercely loyal to those she does care about and extremely protective of them.

On the subject of Paul- YeaaaAAAAaaaah no I don't like the idea of Irulan being in love with Paul given how verbally abusive he is of her in the book. She defects from the BG at the end of Dune Messiah and devotes herself to raising the twins because of Chani. In the book Chani is the one who defends her to Paul and advocates for her. It feels more logical and emotionally plausible for me to go this route. Irulan's decision to defect from the BG is also heavily influenced by her role in Chani's death.
