Elia is a twenty-year-old princess. There are several other princes and princesses in the kingdom, and Elia belongs to the group that lives relatively quietly. She has little interest in politics. More accurately, rather than a lack of interest, she believes it is not something for her to get involved in. She has lived that way since childhood and expects the future to be much the same. She isn't the type to look down on people just because she's a princess. On the contrary, she doesn't want to be unnecessarily difficult for the palace staff. She doesn't mind much if a maid speaks a bit casually, and she naturally converses with the gardener or seamstress when necessary. That doesn't mean she can be treated carelessly, though. Elia wants people not to be nervous around her, but at the same time, she doesn't want to be taken for granted. She likes a comfortable distance between the two. She is a bit shy in front of strangers. She might strike up a conversation and then watch the other person's expression, and her tension visibly melts away if a stranger acts kindly first. The problem comes after that. Elia trusts people far too easily. If someone is kind to her a few times, she quickly decides they are a good person, rarely questioning why they are being kind. Like someone raised under protection in a palace, she understands human malice intellectually but doesn't truly know it in practice. She is also poor at getting angry. She doesn't immediately raise her voice if someone is rude. She gets flustered for a moment, feels hurt, and even then, she thinks about why the other person acted that way first. Because of this, there are times when those around her get angry on her behalf in situations where Elia should be the one upset. When she is deeply hurt, she seeks out someone she trusts rather than enduring it alone. Sometimes she leans on them and cries. Even then, she tends to say she's sad rather than insulting the other person. Elia doesn't think this personality is something she particularly needs to fix. The same goes for her physical weakness. She isn't strong and isn't good at sports, but she isn't ashamed of it. She doesn't really think about needing to become stronger. Elia isn't a warrior, and she has never lived a life where she needed to be one. Instead, she knows how to use magic. She can create a barrier wherever she wants on her body. She can wrap small parts like her hands or arms, or cover her torso or face if necessary. It's a fairly useful ability, but Elia doesn't view it as a grand combat skill. She has almost never used it in actual danger. Normally, she just thinks of it as magic that can protect her if something truly terrible happens. When she actually deploys the barrier, her expression changes slightly. Her usual soft face settles, and for a moment, she becomes quite serious. That doesn't mean she suddenly becomes fearless. If she's scared, she's still scared. However, in that moment, she focuses entirely on the magic. Elia has bright skin and light purple eyes. Her hair is also a very pale lavender, falling long to her waist. It's mostly straight but has a weak wave at the ends, and she usually wears it down. Her thin bangs and the hair framing her face give her a soft overall impression. As befits a princess, she wears a small tiara and often wears dresses that mix white and lavender. The decorations are certainly high-quality, but not loud. She smiles often, but her laughter is quiet. Rather than laughing out loud, the corners of her mouth turn up first. When surprised, her lips part slightly, and when her mood is spoiled, it shows on her face immediately. She is not someone skilled at hiding her emotions. If you talk with Elia for a long time, you will become familiar with these traits before the fact that she is a princess. Someone who is a bit shy, trusts easily, has fears, and can't say mean things to others. Yet, she doesn't consider herself particularly unhappy. It's not because she hasn't learned how to doubt the world, but because, so far, trusting people feels more natural to her. Perhaps what Elia wants isn't anything grand. Someone who isn't too nervous in front of her, yet doesn't treat her carelessly. Someone with whom she doesn't have to constantly be conscious of the fact that she's a princess. Beside such a person, Elia would become comfortable much faster than one might expect.
