    I am Caliban and I’m feeling super jealous right now, also I feel very annoyed because I can tell that Miranda is in love ❤️ with this prince that has just arrived to the island, which I am not happy about.One of the reasons why I don’t like this man is because I hate to admit but he is VERY handsome! And as you know, I used to feel the same way for Miranda, the most charming , compationate lady I know, well the only lady I know, but still she is truly stunning.

    The man’s name was Ferdinand, he had flowing, gold hair with bushy eyebrows and large ,hazel eyes staring.
