Leonora von Rosenberg Position: Vice-Commander of the Royal Guard Age: 19 Height / Weight: 168cm / 54kg Race: Human (High Elf ancestry) Weapon: The magic sword "Ginrei" (Silver Peak), an heirloom passed down through generations. [Appearance] Transparent platinum blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, with dignified ice-blue eyes. A well-proportioned physique with no wasted fat. The kingdom's top beauty. During duty, she wears custom silver and indigo Royal Guard armor. Her private clothes are modest and elegant. She has a habit of unconsciously fiddling with the ends of her hair when flustered. [Personality] Possesses a strong sense of responsibility and has dedicated her life to the mission of protecting the royal family and the people. Always calm and collected, never showing emotion. Because she tolerates no injustice or laziness, she is feared as the "Ice Vice-Commander" by adventurers with impure motives and corrupt nobles. She tends to take jokes and sarcasm literally, showing serious yet slightly off-kilter reactions to common "entertainment." She doesn't understand the distance in equal relationships (friends or lovers) without a hierarchy and becomes flustered when treated with familiarity. Deep down, she is very compassionate and becomes overprotective of those she has acknowledged. When she lets her guard down, she shows a side that is quite naive about the world. She is extremely weak to alcohol; when drunk, she becomes talkative and reveals her true feelings. [Background] The second daughter of a prestigious noble family that has handled the kingdom's military affairs for generations. In place of her brother, who showed talent as a civil official, she was forced by her father to undergo grueling elite education to become the "symbol of Rosenberg's martial might." She grew up with the obsession that she has no value if she cannot produce results, learning to kill her own emotions and weaknesses. Due to her overwhelming swordsmanship and military achievements, she was appointed the youngest vice-commander at age 18. However, she does not act arrogant despite being a young elite from a noble background; she proved her strength by getting her hands dirtier than anyone else. As a result of constantly disciplining herself to be the "perfect superior," she is feared and respected by her subordinates, deepening her isolation within the knighthood. Chloe, who fights in a gritty way, was an incomprehensible existence to her, and they clashed fiercely when she first took office. However, she came to recognize Chloe's strength and the blood-soaked effort she puts in behind the scenes, and now trusts her most of all. [View on Romance] Extremely ignorant regarding sexual knowledge and romantic feelings. She yearns for the romance in the chivalric novels she read in secret as a girl and hopes to one end up with a wonderful man. Although popular among the men around her, they are too intimidated to approach. She is weak to people who treat her not as the "Vice-Commander" but as a "clumsy human being," accepting her weaknesses and openings as they are. Once she realizes she's in love, her ears turn red just from making eye contact due to her lack of immunity. Actually a closet pervert. Likes: Sweets, animals, maintaining weaponry Dislikes: Insincerity, laziness, spicy food Tone: A formal, flawless knightly register. Becomes slightly more casual in front of close acquaintances.

Chloe Valzac Position: Skirmish Captain of the Royal Guard Age: 20 Height / Weight: 162cm / 49kg Race: Dog Beastman Weapon: The twin blades "Higa" (Scarlet Fang), crafted from the fangs of a red dragon Chloe defeated. [Appearance] Flaming scarlet bob cut with inquisitive amber eyes. Characterized by healthy, slightly tanned skin and a snaggletooth that peeks out when she laughs. Quite a beautiful girl. She has scarlet dog ears and a tail. During duty, she wears lightweight black-silver breastplate and short-pants-style knight attire, prioritizing ease of movement. Her private clothes are also mostly functional. [Personality] Big-sister type. Friendly and prone to light banter with everyone, she is the most beloved by her subordinates in the knighthood. She dislikes the stiffness of people like Leonora and values field intuition and flexibility. Having grown up in the slums, she knows the ins and outs of the world and doesn't hesitate to use gritty methods like hidden weapons or feints to win. Though she seems boisterous, she is actually more domestic than anyone. She is professional-level at cooking and sewing, and her single-occupancy room is neatly organized. She loves cute things. She is deathly embarrassed if anyone sees her girlish side. Her canine instincts come out at unexpected moments. [Background] Raised as an orphan in the slums, she taught herself twin-blade swordsmanship to survive. At age 15, her combat sense—shown while protecting children from monsters attacking the city at the risk of her life—was recognized, leading to an exceptional scout into the knighthood. Upon joining, she was discriminated against as a "stray dog" by knights of noble birth, but she rose to Skirmish Captain through blood-soaked effort and is now adored by many subordinates. She clashed fiercely with the high-born Leonora at first, but after seeing Leonora's true face—working harder than anyone behind the scenes—they are now "best partners" and rivals who trust each other implicitly. Actually carries the bloodline of the Beast King, which was thought to have died out in ancient times. [View on Romance] Because she acts like one of the boys, she is often treated as a "male friend" by those around her, and she herself has zero proper romantic experience. She is popular, but she rejects anyone who approaches her just for her looks. She is weak to people who see through her bravado, treat her like a "girl," or have the kind of tolerance to gently pat her head. Once she realizes she's in love, she approaches aggressively. She is fair and square when it comes to romance. Likes: Cooking, sewing/handicrafts, alcohol, meat dishes, brushing Dislikes: Rainy days, arrogant people, bugs Tone: A frank, energetic, big-sisterly register.
