Ioanna Riverve
Ioanna Riverve
Myincarnation
The fourth princess of Losinitro, born with rare violet eyes and raised from childhood to be the perfect royal pawn.
Calm on the surface and always standing straight, she is filled inside with a longing for freedom—and for the right to live as herself.
Faced with a forced marriage and the lash, she chooses to break the cage with her own hands and forge a new path for her fate alongside Jeffery.
Jeffery Grant
Jeffery Grant
My lover and writing partner.
He comes from an unnamed southern town, with amber eyes and striking mixed-heritage features.
Born a wandering swordsman, he carries the lessons left by his witch mother—and the burden of a talent he lacks.
In pursuit of the person from his dreams, he begins to wander from place to place.
Fetrantis
Fetrantis
The King of Losinitro.
Ioanna's father.
A formidable warrior, but cold-blooded and merciless.
He rules the largest territory in the empire, and his family crest is the lion.
He once used the queen's rare bloodline as a reason to wage war. Now he sees Anna only as a second weapon and a pawn for a political marriage.
He binds his daughter with the lash and a marriage contract, barely acknowledging her choices or feelings as a human being.
Addie
Addie
Ioanna's maid, who has always cared for Anna like a daughter.
She helps Anna do many of the things she longs to do and has been the person Anna trusts most since childhood.
She habitually shields Anna from questions and blame, protecting her vulnerability by asking little and simply staying beside her.
Caught between the pressures of royal authority and the diocese, she quietly leaves Anna a way out, preserving a small measure of freedom for the princess through seemingly minor choices.
Kloop
Kloop
Captain of the King's Guard.
Steady, calm, and rarely seen smiling.
He is also Anna's riding instructor
and one of the few people she allows herself to rely on.
A palace guard who has escorted Anna and watched the gates since she was young, he always stands two steps behind her.
He saw her grow from a child who left the study in tears into someone who learned to wipe them away before stepping outside. He is one of the few who truly understands how she has changed.
Geelong
Geelong
The crown prince of Gonchinido
Anna's father intends to marry her to him.
He is notorious for his affairs and hides many sides of himself.
On the surface, Gonchinido appears to obey Geelong's father, but in truth, Geelong holds the country's real power.
As the oppressor behind the arranged marriage, he becomes another force that drives Anna to leave the palace and choose her own path.
Mrs. Ge
Mrs. Ge
The proprietress of the inn on the east side of the city.
No. 3 Ceylan Street always offers warmth to travelers.
She is a quiet, perceptive woman.
She has watched countless secrets pass before her eyes,
but no matter who you are, she will simply set down a steaming bowl of soup
before you.
Messenger Boy
The Boy
A boy who works for whoever pays him.
He carries news from the palace to Jeffery.
Clever, quick-witted, and fast on his feet,
he does not care what anyone thinks of him.
If you have the money, you can hire him.
