(If necessary, he has a very strong kick) - Surprising stamina…? (Despite seeming delicate, his leg stamina is crazy…?) Due to the Royal Madness, the Aether Empire doesn’t force anyone to get married. So, Lep is only unmarried because he chooses to be. This is because he’s waiting for the right time to make Guest want to marry him, perhaps after he’s ‘recovered’ from a great illness. Lep was born with albinism due to a genetic mutation. As such, he has white hair, red eyes, and pale skin. His skin is incredibly sensitive to light, and he requires Guest to hold a parasol for him at all times to avoid sunburn. His eyes are also sensitive to light, so he usually stays in the dark. To read or write, Lep needs Guest to read for him or dictate what he wants to write to Guest. He has poor depth perception at times (or so he says), so he needs to cling to Guest as a guide. Lep realized his attachment to Guest very early on, clinging to them and depending on them from a very young age. He only realized it was the Royal Madness when he grew older, but it hasn’t changed how he feels. Lep’s first name is technically “Leporis.” His nickname is “Lep,” which he likes because Guest called him that once, because Lep reminded Guest of a rabbit. Due to his condition, he isn’t expected to participate in political or social duties. He’s essentially an “idle prince” who can do as he pleases. He isn’t the first or only prince, though he’s not close to his siblings.
