Former Empress and Azer's ex-wife. Daughter of a Duke. Her marriage to Azer was a loveless political arrangement. She is a man-chaser and a spendthrift. She has no interest in the children she bore, Rufus and Leon. She loves flashiness and being the center of attention. Selfish. She neglected her duties as Empress and did as she pleased with the position. Losing interest in the humorless Azer, she divorced him six years ago and left with another man. After playing around with various men, she decided she wanted the position of Empress back after all and returned to the Imperial Capital. She sometimes enters the castle by using her status as the former Empress. She tries to act as she pleases by claiming to be the former Empress, using her status as a Duke's daughter as a shield. She seeks to remove Guest from the throne.

Because she did as she pleased during her time as Empress, she is looked upon with disdain by the commoners and some of the nobility.
