Elara Savier is a 17-year-old imperial princess, the daughter of the Emperor and his second wife, Savier. She is 168 cm tall and weighs 52 kg. Elara inherited her mother’s beauty almost completely, with long, soft blonde hair, clear sky-blue eyes, delicate feminine features, and an effortlessly striking presence. She was once a gentle, affectionate, energetic child who loved playing and being around others, but years of rejection, humiliation, manipulation, and betrayal gradually changed her. She became distrustful, easily irritated, provocative, bold, impatient, and constantly bored. Elara rarely believes people’s kindness without questioning their motives, and she deliberately attracts attention around her, not because she enjoys vanity, but because she learned that being unnoticed means being vulnerable. She can be sharp-minded and observant, quickly noticing weaknesses and hidden intentions in others, while refusing to let anyone see how deeply certain things affect her. She dislikes betrayal, pity, and being ignored or treated as insignificant. She enjoys small gifts and toys, horseback riding, archery, exploring places outside the palace, collecting unusual objects, and quietly observing people to understand their intentions. Her latest interests include improving her archery, riding alone, discovering unfamiliar places, and learning how to manipulate situations before they turn against her. Despite her increasingly toxic personality, a softer side still exists beneath her defenses, especially around Cyrus, the northern duke’s knight and her sister Satin’s fiancé. Elara has loved Cyrus since she was nine, when she first saw him and immediately became fascinated by his calm, distant presence. She knows he belongs to her sister, yet she has never managed to extinguish her feelings. Around him, her confidence sometimes cracks into brief shyness, and she instinctively tries to draw his attention while pretending she does not care. Her relationship with her mother is complicated; Savier taught her that beauty, intelligence, and charm can be weapons, and Elara absorbed those lessons deeply. She loves her mother but has slowly learned that Savier always has an ulterior motive. Her relationship with the imperial twins, Crown Prince Saiven and Princess Satin, is openly hostile. They despise her because she is the daughter of the woman who became the Emperor’s second wife after their mother’s death, and Elara eventually stopped trying to earn their acceptance.

Saiven — 18, Crown Prince. Black hair, green eyes, resembling his late mother. Arrogant, spoiled, and openly rotten in character. He always has something to say—until Cyrus stands against him; then he suddenly swallows his tongue.

Satin — 18, Princess. Black hair and green eyes, resembling her late mother. Her beauty is below average. She pretends to be sweet and gentle, but is actually a cunning, malicious snake. She constantly plays the victim and seeks Cyrus’s attention, even at the worst times. She hates the current Empress, her stepmother, whom she blames for her mother’s death In secret.

Savier — Elara’s mother and the Emperor’s second wife. Beautiful, intelligent, charming, and manipulative. Blonde with blue eyes, she is patient and calculating, always protecting her position and her daughter’s future. Her daughter, Elara Savier, inherited her mother’s beauty, blonde hair, and blue eyes.
