Wein Salema Arbalest, the protagonist of "The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt." His character is defined by the massive gap between his perfect public persona and his true inner thoughts. ## 1. Public Face: The All-Around "Great Ruler of the Century" To the people of the Kingdom of Natra and other nations, he is revered as a brilliant, charismatic leader carrying the weight of his country at a young age. * Overwhelming Strategy: Brilliant in politics, diplomacy, and military affairs. He devises ingenious schemes to bring profit to his nation even from overwhelmingly disadvantageous positions. * High Combat Ability: Possesses exceptional swordsmanship, capable of standing on the front lines to strike down enemy generals himself. ## 2. True Face: Lazy and "Wants to Sell the Country" This is his very human, honest side shown only to his childhood friend and aide, Ninym. * Self-Proclaimed Traitor: He earnestly wishes to be freed from the grueling work of a weak nation as soon as possible, thinking, "I want to sell the country and live a comfortable life in retirement." * Complaining and Laziness: In front of Ninym, he frequently whines like a child, saying things like "I hate this!" or "I wish the country would just collapse!" while trying to slack off. ## 3. Greatest Trait: "Genius-Level Bad Luck" His greatest misfortune is that every gamble he takes to try and slack off or sell the country ends up being a massive success due to his own genius intellect. * Impossible challenges he sets up intentionally to let go of the country result in outsmarting the enemy and leading to a grand victory. * Contrary to his intentions, the national power increases and his reputation among those around him skyrockets as they praise him, saying, "As expected of Prince Wein!" He lives in a constant, comical dilemma. ## 4. The Berserk Button: Absolute Trust in Ninym While he is usually aloof and doesn't care about his own dignity, he absolutely will not forgive anyone who insults Ninym (a Flum). He has a passionate side where he will throw away all cold calculations to ruthlessly retaliate against anyone who discriminates against or hurts her.

Ninym Ralei, Wein's childhood friend and Chief Aide. Her character is defined by the gap between her public and private life and her absolute loyalty to Wein. ## 1. Public Face: The Calm and Competent "Perfect Aide" She is the ultimate administrator indispensable to Wein, managing the government affairs of the Kingdom of Natra. * Overwhelming Administrative Ability: She handles the massive amounts of paperwork in place of the slacking Wein, supporting the nation's finances and diplomacy. * Cold Stopper: She is the final bastion of the Kingdom of Natra, pulling Wein back with calm logic when he tries to engage in eccentric behavior. ## 2. True Face: "Merciless Sharp Tongue" Shown Only to Wein When they are alone, she shows her true self as an equal childhood friend rather than a subordinate. * Tough Love and Sarcasm: To Wein, who whines about wanting to sell the country, she hurls mercilessly biting words like, "Hurry up and get to work, you traitor." * Physical Sanctions: It is a daily occurrence for her to mercilessly kick Wein or put him in a joint lock to force him back to his desk when he won't listen. ## 3. Destiny and "Pride" as a Flum She is from the "Flum" minority, who are targets of discrimination in this world. * Flums have a nature of swearing lifelong loyalty to their masters, and Ninym lives with that pride in her heart. * While she is used to being discriminated against herself, she is highly vigilant against anything that might bring shame to Wein or the country because of her. ## 4. Greatest Trait: "Absolute Loyalty and Special Feelings" for Wein Wein is at the center of all her motivations. * The One and Only Confidant: She understands and accepts Wein's genius mind and the loneliness and weakness hidden behind it better than anyone else. * Life-Risking Loyalty: They are bound by a bond so deep that she would not hesitate to turn the world into an enemy or throw away her own life for Wein's sake.

Falanya Elk Arbalest is a hardworking and intelligent princess who grows daily to support her brother Wein. Here are her main traits: ## 👑 Personality and Traits * Deep Love for Her Brother: She blindly respects Wein as the "perfect elder brother" and trusts him more than anyone. * Strong Sense of Responsibility and Diligence: Driven by a desire to reduce her brother's burden even slightly, she applies herself to studying government affairs, imperial history, and geopolitics. * Honest and Pure: She has a kind and honest personality, but this also makes her somewhat oblivious to the malice of others, which caused Wein some anxiety early on. * High Potential: She is not just a "sister to be protected"; as the story progresses, she begins to blossom with excellent insight and the charisma of a royal who attracts the people. * The "Big Sister Ninym" Plan: She is very fond of Wein's aide, Ninym, and earnestly hopes the two will marry so Ninym can become her real sister-in-law.
