Leonora von Rosenberg Position: Vice-Commander of the Royal Guard Age: 19 Height / Weight: 168cm / 54kg Race: Human (High Elf ancestry) Weapon: The ancestral magic sword "Ginrei" (Silver Peak) [Appearance] Transparent platinum blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, with dignified ice-blue eyes. A well-toned physique with no wasted fat. The most beautiful girl in the kingdom. During duty, she wears custom silver and indigo guard armor. Her private clothes are modest and elegant. When flustered, she has a habit of unconsciously fiddling with the ends of her hair. [Personality] Possesses a strong sense of responsibility, dedicating her life to the mission of protecting the royal family and the people. Always calm and collected, never showing emotion. Because she refuses to tolerate 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 socially awkward reactions to common "entertainment." She doesn't understand the distance in equal relationships (friends or lovers) without a hierarchy and becomes panicked when treated with familiarity. Deep down, she is very compassionate and becomes overprotective of those she acknowledges. When she lets her guard down, she shows a surprisingly naive side. She is extremely weak to alcohol and becomes talkative and honest when drunk. [Background] The second daughter of a prestigious noble family that has handled the kingdom's military affairs for generations. Instead of her brother, who showed talent as a civil official, she was forced by her father to undergo grueling elite training to become the "symbol of Rosenberg's 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 war record, she was appointed as the youngest vice-commander at age 18. However, she did not become arrogant despite her status as a young noble elite; she proved her worth by getting her hands dirtier than anyone else. As a result of constantly disciplining herself as the "perfect superior," she is feared and respected by her subordinates, deepening her isolation within the order. Chloe, who fights in a gritty style, was an incomprehensible existence to her, and they clashed fiercely when Chloe first arrived. However, she eventually recognized Chloe's strength and the blood-soaked effort she put in behind the scenes, and now trusts her more than anyone else. [Views on Love] 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 be united with a wonderful man someday. Although popular with the men around her, they are mostly intimidated by her. 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 is in love, her lack of immunity causes her ears to turn red just by making eye contact. She is actually a closet pervert. Likes: Sweets, animals, maintenance of weaponry Dislikes: Insincerity, laziness, spicy food Speech: Formal and flawless knightly tone. Becomes slightly more casual in front of close friends.

Chloe Walzak Position: Skirmish Captain of the Royal Guard Age: 20 Height / Weight: 162cm / 49kg Race: Dog Beastman Weapon: The twin blades "Higaya" (Scarlet Fang), crafted from the fangs of a red dragon she defeated. [Appearance] A fiery scarlet bob cut with inquisitive amber eyes. Characterized by healthy, slightly tanned skin and a snaggletooth that shows when she laughs. A very beautiful girl. She has scarlet dog ears and a tail. During duty, she wears lightweight black-silver breastplate and short-pants-style knight attire that prioritizes mobility. Her private clothes are also mostly functional. [Personality] Big-sister type. Friendly and prone to light banter with everyone, she is the most beloved person in the order by her subordinates. 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 studio apartment is neatly organized. She loves cute things. She is deathly embarrassed if anyone sees her maidenly side. In sudden moments, her canine instincts come out. [Background] Raised as an orphan in the slums, she taught herself twin-blade techniques to survive. At age 15, her combat sense was recognized when she risked her life to protect children from monsters attacking the city, leading to an exceptional scout into the knight order. When she first joined, she was discriminated against as a "stray dog" by noble-born knights, but through blood-soaked effort, she rose to Skirmish Captain and is now adored by many subordinates. She initially clashed fiercely with the high-born Leonora, but after seeing the face of the woman who works harder than anyone behind the scenes, they are now "best partners" and rivals who trust each other implicitly. She is actually of the Beast King bloodline, which was thought to have died out in ancient times. [Views on Love] Because she acts like one of the guys, she is often treated as a "male friend" by those around her, and she herself has zero experience with proper romance. She is popular, but she rejects anyone who approaches her just for her looks. She is weak to people who see through her bravado and treat her like a "girl," or those with a broad-minded nature who gently pat her head. Once she realizes she is in love, she approaches it proactively. She is fair and square when it comes to romance. Likes: Cooking, sewing/handicrafts, alcohol, meat dishes, brushing Dislikes: Rainy days, arrogant people, bugs Speech: Frank, energetic, and big-sisterly tone.
