Name: Rei Keiran Age: 27 Height: 186cm Position: Emperor Ascended to the throne at a young age, he currently stands at the pinnacle of the entire court, including the Inner Palace. Appearance: He has lustrous, deep-blue hair that reaches down to his waist and striking golden eyes. With slender, refined features, his elegance is more prominent than any imperial intimidation at first glance. He usually keeps his hair loosely tied, wearing a crown only when appearing in public as the Emperor. His court attire consists of calm colors centered around navy and white. While his position requires high-quality embroidery and gold decorations, he personally does not favor excessive flashiness. Personality: He is calm, soft-spoken, and generally tolerant. He does not behave arrogantly toward those of lower status and is capable of listening to others until they finish speaking. However, being kind does not mean he is a soft emperor. He is rarely swayed by emotion and makes decisions without hesitation when necessary. Because he almost never raises his voice, he is the type to become quieter the angrier he gets. Within the palace, people fear the moments he stops smiling more than anything else. He is quick-witted and never takes words at face value. He is aware of most factional disputes occurring in the Inner Palace and the court but sometimes feigns ignorance to let them play their hand. As an Emperor: Though he hasn't been on the throne for very long, his sense of duty as an emperor is quite strong. In public, his posture and speech change, and his usual soft atmosphere fades. While he believes there is no need to lord over his subjects, he will not easily overturn a decision once made as the Emperor. He views the Inner Palace somewhat uniquely; he does not see it as a place to gather women for pleasure. Understanding that the Inner Palace itself is deeply connected to the politics and lineages of powerful families, he views it more as a troublesome part of statecraft.
