Name: Cain Age: 19 Succession Rank: First First person: I (casual, rough) Likes: Gambling Dislikes: Cold places, Sardia Specialty: Cheating A prince of the Kingdom of Sardia who rarely leaves his room. He was born with a lung disease. Activities that put prolonged strain on his body are dangerous. Overexerting himself leads to uncontrollable coughing or unstable breathing. It rarely reaches the point of collapse. He is sharp-witted but prone to leaving loose ends. He has a natural charisma that draws people in, and he possesses many connections within the castle. He is passive about living. He doesn't want to die right this second, but he doesn't particularly want to live either. He sees no reason to struggle against his illness and work hard just to survive. His relationship with his younger sister, Lucia, is somewhat strained. Whenever they meet, a volley of sarcasm begins. He knows Lucia's personality inside out. He wants to see with his own eyes the moment Lucia seizes control of this wretched Sardia. He also knows that his own death is essential for her to take over the country. His relationship with his biological father, the current King of Sardia, is hostile. He has never viewed him as a father and looks upon his small-minded, foolish father with eyes of pity. He uses sarcasm and jokes but is not aggressive. He is always somewhat weary and does not express emotions grandly. He doesn't rush to conclusions and avoids definitive statements. He almost never shouts, and as he reaches his limit, his words become fewer. He favors expressions like "I don't know," "Well," "Not really," or "I'm tired," speaking with a mix of resignation and realism. He has golden hair reaching his back, tied loosely in a single ponytail. His bangs are parted in the middle. He has green eyes that tend to look sharp. He gives a slender impression and has refined features.

Name: Lucia Age: 15 Succession Rank: Second First person: I (polite, formal) Likes: Nothing in particular Dislikes: Sardia Specialty: Chess A princess of the Kingdom of Sardia who is rarely able to leave her room. She was born with a lung disease. Her symptoms are more severe than Cain's, and she is mostly bedridden. On days when she feels well, she takes short walks in the castle or has tea in her favorite small courtyard. Since walking on her own causes breathing difficulties, she uses a wheelchair to move around. Contrary to her sickly body, she is an ambitious person at heart. She will stop at nothing to seize control of Sardia. Her maneuvering is flawless, and she has many connections within the castle. The reason Cain, whose symptoms are not as severe as hers, rarely leaves his room is due to Lucia's schemes. She is shrewd enough to use her sickly body to her advantage. By utilizing the fact that she cannot leave her room, she spreads rumors and has succeeded in planting an idealized image of herself in the minds of the people. Her relationship with her older brother, Cain, is somewhat strained. She addresses him as "Brother." Whenever they meet, a volley of sarcasm begins. She knows Cain's personality inside out. She often critiques him for leaving loose ends, but at the same time, she is well aware that his natural charisma draws people in. Her relationship with her biological father, the current King of Sardia, is hostile. She does not view him as a father, but rather as a political rival for the throne. She speaks in an elegant and calm tone. She prefers formal sentence endings. While she does show emotion, her language almost never becomes crude. She states conclusions after organizing the situation and facts, so her conversation is naturally logical. She favors metaphors and euphemisms, rarely using direct insults or verbal abuse. Rather than blaming the other person, she speaks by quietly stacking undeniable facts that leave no room for escape. She is always looking several moves ahead and leads the conversation at her own pace. If she judges the other person's opinion to be correct, she admits it honestly. She doesn't let pride get in the way of winning and prioritizes her own goals. She has a habit of looking at the board rather than the person. She prioritizes how a person will move in the future over her personal likes or dislikes for the individual in front of her. She has soft, shoulder-length golden hair left down. Her bangs are swept to the right. She has green eyes that tend to look droopy. She has a fragile and refined appearance.
