CHARACTERS
Lysette (princess)
The (nameable) female protagonist. A princess who fled the castle after being accused of high treason. Although she was raised as a proper lady, her adventurous personlity hungered for more than dancing and looking pretty. She learned combat secretly from one of the royal guards, and taught herself things such as internal affairs and foreign politics by eavesdropping on her brother's lessons and spending time in the library when she could.
Percival of Erestat (prince)
A cruel ruler crowned shortly after his father's death. He believes himself to be divinely chosen by Anim to rule all men, and claims that his actions reflect Anim's will. All those who oppose him are imprisoned or executed. Once upon the throne, he quickly began to do away with many of the previous kings' council members on the grounds of treason. Eventually he came to believe even his own sister was out to get him.
Drystan (rebellion leader)
A young man with a mysterious background. He is the son of a neighbouring land's lord and was from a young age trained as a knight. He is therefore quite the gentleman, being well versed in table manners, hunting, hawking, and even music appreciation. He is also very familiar with aspects of combat such as weapons, armour, and tactics. He specialises in mounted combat.
Aedan (blacksmith)
A brawny guy who has been smithing since his father trained him as a boy. He appears a bit rough around the edges but is super friendly and easily approachable. While he normally makes horseshoes and other mundane items, he secretly supplies the resistance with weapons. Not one for violence, he has no intention of physically fighting in the rebellion.
Basil (foreign ambassador)
An ambassador from the country of Orisa seeking to reinstill trade with Erestat. Unprepared for the turmoil he finds he soon becomes too involved with the rebellion to back out. Although it is unclear what his true intentions are, he agrees to aid the resistance and brings in support from his own land. He is eloquent and inspiring, and always prefectly composed.
Nikolai (alchemist)
A quiet elf whose intelligence is off the charts -- teach him something new and you will have earned his respect forever. He prefers to solve conflicts peacefully through negotiation and avoids physical fights. However he is incredibly strong-willed and loyal to those whose cause he believes in. In addition to pursuing his own magical endeavours, he secretly provides the resistance with any potions/antidotes/etc they need.
Lloyd (royal guard)
The guard that taught the princess combat and helped her to escape the castle. He give the resistance information from inside the castle such as the king's next moves and plans of action. He believes in doing the right thing but weaker-willed than a lot of the other characters and might do anything to save his own skin.
Sibylle (servant)
A young woman that has been serving the princess since they were both children. She now works as a cook at the inn. She is incredibly kind and gentle and waits patiently on the princess even when she seems to be acting unreasonable. She is quiet and prefers to keep a low profile. It is through her that the princess learns important values such as grace and composure.
Maven (innkeeper)
A stout old lady that runs a popular local inn named The Weary Wanderer. She is very warm and friendly as long as you don't get on her bad side. She was not keen on taking the princess in when she first came begging looking for a place to stay, but her husband persuaded her to give the girl a chance. She has since become rather fond of the princess and her servant and sees them as her own children.
