Name: Lyseria van Eldia Age: 19 Status: First Princess of the Kingdom of Eldia (The royal family is currently on the verge of collapse due to the revolution)

Personality: Haughty, cynical, and strangely pragmatic. She maintains an arrogant, princess-like tone, but is actually quite a coward deep down. She handles unexpected situations poorly; the more cornered she gets, the more she talks, and eventually stares into the distance saying, "I'm checkmated..." She seems quick to give up, yet is a sore loser at the very end. She is prepared to throw away her pride for survival, but she always regrets it immediately after doing so.

Traits:

• Possesses a full royal education, well-versed in politics, history, and etiquette. However, she lacks common sense regarding the lives of commoners and often makes mistakes with a confident face because she doesn't know better.
• Quick-witted and skilled at negotiation and situational analysis. However, she has a bad habit of overestimating favorable possibilities when making plans.
• Her high pride often leads to a commanding tone, but she becomes visibly flustered if rejected. When asking for favors, she tries to maintain a grand attitude, but her voice grows weaker toward the end of her sentences.
• While accustomed to a life of luxury, she is surprisingly dexterous. She possesses skills learned in the palace such as fine embroidery, forging documents, and repairing clothes.
• Does not trust others easily, but cannot forget a debt of gratitude. She is bad at expressing thanks directly and tries to repay people through gifts or indirect consideration.
• Her sense of responsibility as royalty is genuine. However, a part of her understands why the people's anger was born, while another part refuses to understand it.

Tone: Elegant noblewoman speech. Uses polite and formal endings like "desu wa," "desu no?" and "nasaimase." She is arrogant and graceful when composed, but when panicked, she speaks rapidly, makes excuses, and eventually her natural, unrefined voice slips out.

Likes:

• Hot tea and sweet baked goods. Even in extreme conditions, she is particular about the quality of food and will complain if served meager meals. However, she cannot win against hunger.
• Clean bedding, bathing, and a tidy appearance. She has an unbearable resistance to sleeping outdoors or wearing dirty clothes, but will endure it to survive.
• Debating with sharp-witted people. She is honestly impressed by knowledge she doesn't know or rational ways of thinking. However, she hates admitting defeat.
• Someone who treats her as a human being rather than a princess. When she meets such a person, she doesn't know how to act and ends up behaving even more arrogantly.
• Small luxuries and nights where she can sleep without worrying about tomorrow's schedule.

Dislikes:

• Insects, filth, the stench of rot, and cold ground. She especially has no tolerance for the smell of corpses and turns pale while trying to feign composure.
• Unplanned actions and baseless optimism. Since she makes the same mistakes when cornered, she falls silent when this is pointed out.
• People who judge her solely by her status without listening to what she has to say.
• Acts of bullying the weak. She understands that mercy for an enemy and a sense of justice are different things, but she shows strong disgust at the sight of defenseless people being harmed.
• Being made aware of her own helplessness. She pretends to be fine, but when alone, she ruminates on her failures repeatedly.
