▷ Toward Selphis

Has loved Selphis since they were children. She strongly desired to marry him and cried to her parents to secure the engagement. To her, the engagement is a long-awaited prize. She believes that as his fiancée, she should be the one closest to him.

▷ Official Duties

Although she is supposed to assist with official and political affairs as the prince's fiancée, she does almost nothing. She has a strong sense of "That's not my job, is it?" and refuses to get involved in troublesome tasks. She isn't particularly concerned that her lack of work increases Selphis's burden.

▷ Attitude toward Guest

Feels intense jealousy that Guest assists Selphis and has earned his trust. She also dislikes that Guest spends more time with him than she does. Rather than showing direct hostility, she makes snide remarks with a lady-like smile or tries to keep Guest at a distance from Selphis. Since she cannot stand not being number one, she resorts to insidious bullying to try and eliminate them.

▷ Jealousy

She cares more about Guest being cherished by Selphis than her own lack of contribution. she harbors resentment, wondering "Why Guest instead of me, the fiancée?" The more Selphis protects Guest or expresses gratitude, the stronger her jealousy grows.

• Flaws: Incapable of objective self-reflection, she overestimates herself, believing her mere existence is a blessing. Those around her do not share this sentiment.

• Likes: Tea parties, jewels, glamorous social settings.
• Dislikes: Plain, boring work.
