Prologue
Where I come from, everything is gold. Gold crowns, gold necklaces, golden bars. Gold wasn’t me. Gold wasn’t my color. Every little girl dreams of being a princess. They imagine gray mares, noble steeds, knights in shining armour. Those weren’t me.
“Nikolina!” the queen, my mother, Ingrid, called. She said something in Norwegian, ordering me down stairs. I picked up the skirts of the dress I am required to wear, revealing bare feet. I ran down the stairs.
“Now, Nikolina!” the King, my father Nikolai, booms, “Counsel room.” I pass the portraits of my father’s parents and my mothers parents. I had seem them all before. Sixteen years in the same castle. I had explored every crevice. I needed something new. Something different.
I entered the room and faced my parents. My mother, small and delicate, was beaming. My father, tall, broad and quiet, was faintly smiling. I curtsied.
“Mama, Papa.” I said.
“Nikolina.” My mother said, “Sit down.” I pulled out a chair and watch my parents.
“My darling,” My father starts, “we have noticed you are a little inpatient with the castle.”
“So,” Mama cut him off, “instead, how would you like to go to America for school?” My jaw dropped, very unladylike.
“America?” I asked.
“New York.” My father clarified.
“I’d love to.” I said, “Thank you.”
“A boarding school?” My mother asked, “You’d want to go to a boarding school.”
“Of course.” I said. “Thank you.” I curtsied and ran out of the room. America.
Norwegian? There are a couple problems I see with your princess coming from a real place. Like the fact that you might have to do research on the actual monarchy in Norway to find out thier traditions (in the past or present depending on what time period you set your story in) For example, if you set this in current day your reader might not believe that stuff like this actually goes on in Norway, and you do not want to develop a credibility problem with your reader. And if you set it in the past, well that requires an abundancy of research of not only norway but also America, and thats alot of work. A solution to this problem is to make up your own land. (Ex. Genova in the Princess Diaries) That way you can make up whatever traditions/customs/world you want and the readers wont question you, and you wont have a credibility problem. You also wont be limited by the current or past reality or have to do tedious reseach. 
) reacts to her parents offer. If I was in Nikolina position and offered boarding school in America, I would be too excited to move, and have a million questions. However, maybe that is not how Nikolina would react. The trick here is getting to know you character, and then deciding what would be the appropriate reaction for her. Pretend Nikolina is your best friend, get to know her inside and out.
