Her Majesty's Gown is a Fated object. It is also Scarlett's Enchanted Dress.

Appearance[]

The dress changes based on the owner's emotions. When Scarlett first sees it it is rather plain and disappointing.

Plot[]

Queen Azane turned into the gown (just as Reverie became the Reverie Key when they died). She was a Fate who fell in love with a human and let herself become mortal and die. "But magic cannot die. So, when their human bodies perished, their magic was transferred into objects."

Caraval[]

Upon arriving on Isla de los Sueños, Scarlett is dressed only in her undergarments because her boat got a hole in it and she and Julian had to swim to shore. After walking to town in the freezing cold, they enter the only open shop, Casabian's Clocks. Inside are outfits for both of them from Legend, including a dress and boots for Scarlett.

When Scarlett first puts on the dress, it is rather plain and disappointing. It has no corset, and the bodice fabric is an unappealing shade of beige with a flat skirt. There are no petticoats, underskirts, or bustles. But after putting on the dress, it magically changes. The dress is now a rich cerise, or deep red, "the color of seduction and secrets."[1] A stylish row of bows runs down the center of a fitted bodice with a scooped neck, set off by a matching ruffled bustle. The skirts beneath are scalloped and fitted to her form, five slender tiers of different fabrics alternating between cerise silk and tulle and bits of black lace. Even her boots have changed from a dull brown to an elegant combination of matching black leather and lace. Even when she tries to imagine a simpler gown, it doesn't change.

Sometime during the beginning of Caraval, Scarlett decides to go out and enjoy the game instead of staying inside. She hopes for her dress to transform into something less noticeable, but the gown seems to have a mind of its own. The entire dress has become snow white, save for the bodice, which is wrapped in red ribbons that match the ribbons entwining her long sleeves. A giant red bow is perched on the bustle and has two ties that stream down to the floor behind her.

Later, Scarlett receives another clue card, but her mind is on rescuing Tella. She tries to make herself presentable, but once again, her dress shifts on its own. It transforms into a gown of pink and cream, with a white bodice dotted with black specks, a pink silk skirt, and lots of pink lace. When she starts to worry about Julian, the dress shifts yet again, transforming the tiny black dots on her bodice into spreading stains and changing the neckline into a high collar. Scarlett attempts to relax in order to make the dress look less like a mourning gown, but she has no such luck.

In the dress shop, Scarlett picks out multiple dresses to try on, but her enchanted gown keeps transforming into the exact same gown, as if trying to convince her not to buy anything.

Legendary []

Scarlett continues to wear the dress. It was mentioned that although she supposedly wanted nothing to do with Julian, the dress reacted violently when he came to try to take her back.

Finale []

The dress turns out to be a Fated object; a Fate that chose love over immortality and died a natural death. The dress is destroyed while she is trying to escape from the dungeon. Just before Scarlett's coronation, Julian gives her gloves made of the remains of her Fated dress, which he has sewn himself. Scarlett notes that gloves are a symbolic gift that men use to propose.

Powers[]

Her Majesty's Gown can turn into any type of dress, depending on the person's emotions and feelings.
