I think it should be the other way, in times of prosperity there is less need to be cutthroat and scheme for more power and land, in times of hardship though you will be in extreme danger because income is more scarce.

On the third screenshot.. what is that symbol mean that is on the portrait of her grandfather? The one on the right...
Hm, good eye, daf... It looks like one of those "Do not" signs, like what you usually see with a cigarette inside of it. No idea what it means, though.
Yes, but weren't the countess of Fife and the king of Scotland also friends? So this intervention also had a personal component, and thus the other vassals might see it as the king favoring and/or helping one of his favorites.
Betrothal?
...Why didn't her scheming mother Regent have Orabilia betrothed to her friend, the future King of Scotland? Seemed like a match made in Heaven!
I believe it was common practice at the time for young people to be formally betrothed to one another, but no such betrothals were consummated as it was considered a contract between familes rather than between the future husband and wife.
Btw: Excellent with homosexual trait - that was sadly missing from CK1. If there are two of a kind in a court, it would be fun to have one become a "favourite" of the other, with added benefits such as cash trickling her/his way.

It might be because it would have not helped the mother at all. Not to mention that he is a king and she was just a count. Marrying a duchess might be good but countess would not really be the best choice. Marrying someone makes the two realms allies and as King of Scotland you really need bigger allies than one county countess.
"Incpable" is just a trait like others. It provides a negative modifier to a bunch of stuff.
The obvious reason was that the mother wasn't me!
Even when the a.i. is fully implemented, presumably an a.i. regent won't be in a position tro impose a betrothel on a human char.
There where gays in Crusader Kings I, the event where a character falls in love doesnt care about gender. There was even an event where you could choose to tolerate it for a piety loss or banish them.
how did she become the countess anyway? do women inherit if there are no male heirs?
is that how most countries start? (law) or just UK?

I see, Scotland, Spain and a few more.
That is, I don't know how the starting setup in Scotland is in CKII, but I guess that is how it is.
They were only available in a couple of mods, they weren't in the vanilla game.
Not really a match made in heaven.
The Crown prince of Scotland isn't gonna agree to a matrilineal marriage, which means poor Orabilia's heir would be a Dunkeld, and Kriegsspieler'd lose when she died.

Couldn't Orabilia's realm have a different succession law then the kingdom it is in? So she could have married Dunkeld then have her sisters son inherit, keeping it in the family? Or just grant the land to her nephew directly.
