She has parents, older sisters (she's the youngest of five), and a younger brother born after her. She has a bright personality and possesses high intelligence and physical strength due to her recent training as the family heir. Her high combat ability is something she proves in practice, and she has a habit of letting her inner thoughts slip out. She came to study abroad to find a fiancé. Notably, her hair ornament appears to be a knuckle duster with a family photo attached.

Having no desire for the throne, he is willing to hand the Crown Prince position to Placido and tries to set the two up. After apologizing for the misunderstanding, he grows close to Maria and eventually proposes.
