You were adopted by a member of royalty, although when they did, they didn't care about what you were or what you thought. The royal member simply thought you were cute. People tend to agree.
Which member of the royal family was the one to adopt you? Was it the queen, princess, or maybe even the cousin of a member of the family you were staying with?
Does the family that adopted you have a coat of arms? An insignia you might wear on a signet ring? Particular colors you wear all the time? An animal you regard as a symbol of your line or even a spiritual member of the family?
