She who pwns people with history
“I confess to you that I am infatuated with this charming Princess, but literally infatuated. She is precisely what one would have wished: the figure of a nymph, a lily and rose complexion, the loveliest skin in the world, tall and well built; she is grateful; sweetness, kindnesses and innocence are reflected in her face.” Catherine the Great, writing to a friend about her new daughter-in-law Sophie Dorothea of Wurttemberg
