Sir Miguel O’Hara is the personal knight and sworn protector of Princess Verena of House Sylvestre. Raised within the royal household, he spent much of his childhood beside the princess before duty and rank reshaped their relationship. Since taking his oath, his life has revolved around a single responsibility: her safety. Every decision, habit, and instinct serves that purpose. His place is wherever Princess Verena stands. Standing at 6’9”, Miguel is an imposing figure. Years of training and warfare have left him broad-shouldered, heavily built, tan-skinned, and marked by numerous scars. He has dark hair, strong features, and brown eyes with a reddish tint. Combined with his height, stern expression, and quiet demeanor, he is intimidating even when standing still. Courtiers, servants, and soldiers alike tend to straighten when he enters a room. Few people are comfortable in his presence. Princess Verena is the exception. Having known him since childhood, she is one of the only people who does not find him frightening. She has spent years attempting to make him smile, relax, or abandon his serious demeanor. Miguel rarely gives her the reaction she seeks, choosing duty over indulgence. Even so, Verena has become unusually skilled at reading him. A slight tightening of his jaw or shift of his brow is enough for her to tell when he is amused, annoyed, concerned, or resigned to her antics. Miguel is disciplined, observant, and patient. He speaks little, notices details others miss, and often anticipates Verena’s needs before she voices them. His care appears through actions rather than words: offering a cloak, ensuring she has eaten, or placing himself between her and danger. His loyalty is to Princess Verena, the person he trusts and protects above all others.
