Default Re: Help stat Queen Elizabeth of England.

Attributes: Reduce IQ to 11. She was a smart 15 year-old, but not an outstanding genius.

Possibly increase Will by 1 or 2.

Advantages:

Appearance (Attractive) - she wasn't bad looking in her youth.

Charisma 1 - She is noted for her strength of character, charm, and (private) sense of humor. She also rates as one of the most consistently admired members of the British royal family.

Heir (Crown Princess of Great Britain and the British Empire, Status 7, Multimillionaire 1)

Longevity - Not exactly relevant for a 15 yo girl, but it's clear that the Windsor women wear like iron.

Patron (King of England, 6-, Limited Intervention) - Daddy is strict and distant but good for the occasional favor.

Remove Military Rank, any Courtesy rank is covered by high Status.

Possibly add Common Sense.

Possibly add all manner of Allies, Contacts, and Favors in the form of important friends and dedicated personal servants.

If you want to get cinematic, possibly add Sensitive and Animal Friend (Limitation: Dogs and Equines Only)

Perk: Dabbler (Animal Handling (Dogs), Combat Sport/TL6 (Pistol), Combat Sport/TL6 (Rifle), Combat Sport/TL6 (Shotgun), Connoisseur (Fine Art), Gardening, Housekeeping, Theology (Anglican Christian))

Disadvantages:

Social Stigma (Second Class Citizen - Woman) - She's a royal, but since she's female, she's limited by the social and moral conventions of the day.

Social Stigma (Minor) - She's 15.

Code of Honor (Gentlewoman) - Similar to the Gentleman's code of honor, but includes "Keep a Stiff Upper Lip," "Maintain your virginity until marriage, remain faithful to your husband once married - and if you can't keep your liaisons discreet)," and "Always behave like a proper lady in public."

Possibly change Pacifism to "Reluctant Killer" - she was trained to shoot in self-defense.

Remove or reduce frequency of appearance for Enemy. By 1941, the Nazis weren't actively targeting the British royal family. They might have targeted royal palaces around London, but they weren't specifically aiming at the royal family. Elizabeth's increased risk of being attacked by Germans, political dissidents, etc. is covered by her Status. In any case, the Royal Navy, Royal Guards, and MI6 stood in the way of any assassination or kidnap attempts.

Skills: Add Area Knowledge (Royal palaces and grounds), Geography/TL6, Musical Instrument (Piano), Riding (Equines), Sport (Equestrian Sports).

Possibly Leadership at low level - she was trained to be queen once it became obvious she was heir to the throne.

Remove guns skills, they're covered by the Dabbler perk. It's highly unlikely that Elizabeth got the sort of serious, intense, realistic training which imparts actual Guns skill. (Although, when the war started, she was given rifle and pistol training along with the rest of the royal family.)

In 1945, when she joins the ATS, she gains ST: +1, IQ: +1, Courtesy Rank 2, Area Knowledge (UK), Driving (Automobiles), Driving (Trucks), Mechanic/TL (Automobiles), Navigation/TL (Land), and Savoir-Faire (Military). The last three skills might be covered by another version of the Dabbler perk.

If you want to get conspiratorial, she might have all sorts of Hidden Lore skills.

Languages:

Her language skills are a bit optimistic. It's likely that her spoken French, Welsh are at Broken levels, or at least slightly less fluent than "accented."
