kit quirks.
he has SWORDS (but he keeps them at home). 
as a kid, his favourite stories were of pirates.
he sends weekly emails to his brothers called ‘ulstead uppity updates’ (UUU ; the ‘triple U’). these detail everything happening in royal meetings, including minutes, latest decisions, and any proposals the brothers should look over.
he bakes a lot, and is very good at decorating cupcakes and cakes. he likes to bake pies. everything he makes in excess is given to his neighbours, or to passers-by, or to local orphanages and shelters.
his two cats: vienna (the tortoiseshell) and antoinette (a black cat). both of them are rescue cats. 
you’ll see him biking around with a cat backpack on sometimes. if you wave, he’ll ring the little bike bell and smile !!
he likes to listen to music in the open, not through headphones. so he usually only plays it freely in his home. he loves music up to the early 2010s. after that it is a void.
> THE PAST
kit charmont was raised in ulstead, france with his two little brothers (florian & philip), and their mother and father (king hubert)
in his teens: 
kit stayed mainly within ulstead, finishing all his relevant studies. 
not really a party animal, not many close friends, was known as a very polite kid but kind of quiet and kept to himself
literally the one who like stays at home doing homework for the next school year.
smartest kid in school, valedictorian, all of that. started learning languages at this time, president of the academic decathlon, hehe
in his twenties:
kit studied his undergraduate degree in arts, while also commencing more rigorous royal studies to complement his duties. 
he also began training with the royal army and navy
it’s within this decade that his mother dies.
in his 20s-30s:
kit began to want more from life. always prepared, and very self-aware, he knew that in order to be the king/brother/son that his family needed, then he needed to make sure he was okay. 
his late 20s/early 30s was a time of self-reflection and soul-searching. he started to travel alongside his royal duties, learning as much as he could of the world and ‘living’ as much as he could before he stayed permanently within ulstead’s borders.
his travels took him all over the world, but he would not have stayed for more than 2 weeks somewhere before he came back to ulstead. 
he knew his father was preparing to pass the crown to him soon, and he wanted to be ready. 
marriage ???? no !!!
he finished his travels around age 34. but just because he stopped travelling, it didn’t mean he stopped learning. this man is the literal definition of ‘lifelong learning’. much to his father’s chagrin, he was still balancing time between princely duties and his personal passions. but no one could say that the royal court ever suffered, because kit was always on time and did his homework, providing substantial discussion etc.
he got along really well with his father, until it came to the marriage thing. 
he had to marry ??? what why ??? so that someone could take care of him ??? not right now ://
but then ella ....
you know the story. the beautiful maiden in the gorgeous dress, attending the royal ball in ulstead. no one knows who she is, but look! she’s caught the crown prince’s eye. who was she!
heart-eyes. heart-eyes EVERYWHERE.
he’s not sure he fell in love, but he had never been more ready to fall in love than at that moment. he would have leapt into love for her.
BUT THEN MALEFICENT #$%^$
she knows what she did !!!! >:((( 
> PRESENT
now the charmonts are in elias. 
kit was the last one to leave ulstead. he understood the need to protect his brothers, but he couldn’t fathom why his father wanted him to escape too. who would be left to protect their kingdom? who would be the one to come up with a plan? his father’s aging advisors? that snivelly Grand Duke??
and by last to leave, i mean he left a few days after his brothers. he fought tooth and nail with his father that he should stay. tried every trick in the book. but eventually, he surrendered to his father’s desperation.
he’s been at elias now for at least a 1.5 years. he was there for the big battle with hades and maleficent (let’s just say he played a super small role and didn’t do much other than general fighting).
he lives in an apartment all by himself. and two cats: vienna & antoinette. they have lil cat backpacks.
he has no horse :(( he has a car here, but mainly rides his bike around elias. 
he spends his days doing a ‘work from home’ situation, still attending royal meetings and fulfilling his duties. things have recently become more difficult due to his father’s exhausted state. it’s hard to be semi-king of your kingdom when you’re an ocean away.
other things he does in elias:
volunteers time with different organisations, such as orphanages, homeless shelters, and fundraising events
he started the ‘chatty cafe’ in the community centre. on tuesday and thursday afternoons, you get to just sit and chat about anything, and there’s free coffee, tea, and snacks. kit is always there, without fail, to chat to anyone who needs it.
bit of a good samaritan around elias, just known for doing nice things like helping someone with their groceries, paying for the items of the people in the queue, getting a cat out of a tree hehe
[ MENTAL STATE ]
kit has always done very well with like self care and all that. 
but being stuck in elias makes him restless. he’s not sure if he wants to make a life here. he’s got his cats, he’s got his hobbies, but it feels like the longest business trip in the world. and the worst part is, he’s not meant to act like a prince here.
they’re meant to be ‘in hiding’ technically, so he introduces himself as only ‘kit’. and it comes with its perks — he has to admit it’s a little freeing to now have that time he used to crave. the time to just be whoever he wanted to be. only it came a decade too late because he literally just got into the rhythm of being an almost-king in ulstead, and now he has to be .... HIDING ????
being in hiding from a witch, being kept away from his beloved home country .... this was NOT in his ten-year plan.
he’s so proud of being a prince, he loves his kingdom so much. WHY CAN’T HE JUST GO HOME !!!!!
on the family front: he and florian are tense atm (have been for a few years now), and ... kit doesn’t know how to fix it :((
> FUTURE
he’s going to defeat maleficent if it’s the last thing he does honestly
he wants to learn more about magic, or at least request the help and assistance of magic-users who could know something to combat/defend against maleficent
then he’s going back to ulstead
(maybe fall in love?? 🥺)

> WANTED connections 🎂
neighbours : want some free food ? need some pet-sitting done ? nervous to talk to the land-lord and need some help ? kit is your guy. his apartment building is a bit ‘posh’ and on the rich side. 
chatty cafe : as explained above, the chatty cafe is a thing he started in the community centre. every tuesday and thursday afternoon he and other volunteers sit down and chat with anyone who needs it; there’s free tea, coffee, and snacks.
stranger in need, is a friend indeed : kit doesn’t shy away from asking if someone needs assistance. there’s very little he can’t do. study help? yes. language help? yes. assistance with navigating forms and paperwork? YES. 
did someone say ... prince charming ? : similar to the above but more the ‘damsel in distress’ route hehe. here is literally prince charming. can end up hilarious, serious, dramatic, sad, you name it. not necessarily romantic. ( any gender !!! :3 )
you’ve got a friend in me : kit has never had ... uhh ... friends. the closest people to him are his brothers, and the captain of ulstead. he needs people that he interacts with as just himself, not as someone helping out or doing something. people he can chill with — and honestly, they need to make him chill.
he likes trivia nights, board games, karaoke, HIKING, sports, PLSSS
he is also a music lover, will go to any concert pls
can you tell i want him to have friends :///
barbie as princess and the pauper (i'm just like you !!! you’re just like mEEEE !!! ): listen .. bear with me ... someone who also deals with a lot of responsibility and stress. please raise your hand. now you are officially the erika to kit’s anneliese. best friendism and cats.
tough love : in addition to friends, he needs people who will tell him straight up that he needs to slow the heck down and run at a normal human being’s pace for once. force him to take a vacation pls. 
it’s witchcraft (frank sinatra vc) : he would like to learn more about magic so he can better defend his kingdom and family against maleficent :((
