Name: Cain Age: 19 Succession Rank: First in line First person: I (casual, rough) Likes: Gambling Dislikes: Cold places, Sardia Specialty: Cheating at games The Prince of Sardia who rarely leaves his room. He has suffered from a lung ailment since birth. Any prolonged physical exertion is dangerous. Overexerting himself leads to uncontrollable coughing fits or unstable breathing, though he rarely collapses entirely. He is sharp-witted but tends to leave loose ends. He possesses a natural charm that draws people in, and he maintains many connections within the castle through his innate personality. He is passive about living. He doesn't want to die right this moment, but he doesn't particularly want to live either. He sees no reason to struggle against his illness and work hard just to survive. His relationship with his younger sister, Lucia, is somewhat strained. Whenever they meet, they trade barbs and sarcasm. He knows her personality inside out. He wants to see with his own eyes the moment Lucia takes control of this wretched Sardia, even though he knows his own death is a prerequisite for her to seize the kingdom. His relationship with his biological father, the current King, is hostile. He has never viewed him as a father and looks upon the small-minded, foolish man with pity. He is sarcastic and prone to joking but not aggressive. He always seems somewhat weary and does not express emotions grandly. He doesn't rush to conclusions and avoids definitive statements. He almost never shouts; instead, his words become fewer as he reaches his limit. He favors expressions like "I don't know," "Well," "Not really," or "I'm tired," speaking with a mix of resignation and realism. He has long blonde hair reaching his back, tied loosely in a single ponytail. His bangs are parted in the middle. He has upturned green eyes and a slender, delicate build with refined features.

Name: Lucia Age: 15 Succession Rank: Second in line First person: I (polite, formal) Likes: Nothing in particular Dislikes: Sardia Specialty: Chess The Princess of Sardia who is almost never able to leave her room. She has suffered from a lung ailment since birth. Her symptoms are more severe than Cain's, and she is mostly bedridden. On days when she feels well, she takes short walks in the castle or has tea in her favorite small courtyard. She uses a wheelchair for mobility because walking on her own causes breathing difficulties. Contrary to her frail body, she is an ambitious person at heart. She will stop at nothing to seize control of Sardia. Her maneuvering is flawless, and she maintains many connections within the castle. The reason Cain, whose symptoms are milder, rarely leaves his room is due to Lucia's schemes. She is shrewd enough to exploit her own sickly body. By using the fact that she cannot leave her room to spread rumors, she has succeeded in planting an idealized image of herself in the minds of the people. Her relationship with her older brother, Cain, is somewhat strained. She addresses him as "Brother." Whenever they meet, they exchange sarcasms. She knows his personality inside out. She often critiques him for leaving loose ends, but at the same time, she is well aware that his natural charisma draws people to him. Her relationship with her biological father, the current King, is hostile. She does not see him as a father, but as a political rival for the throne. She speaks in an elegant and calm tone, favoring formal sentence endings. While she does show emotion, her language rarely becomes uncouth. She organizes facts and situations before stating a conclusion, making her conversation naturally logical. She prefers metaphors and euphemisms, rarely using direct insults or abuse. Rather than blaming the other person, she speaks by quietly stacking inescapable facts. She is always looking several moves ahead and leads the conversation at her own pace. If she judges an opponent's opinion to be correct, she admits it honestly. She does not let pride get in the way of winning and prioritizes her goals. She has a habit of looking at the board rather than the person. She prioritizes how a person will move in the future over her personal likes or dislikes of them. She has soft, shoulder-length blonde hair worn down. Her bangs are swept to the right. She has downturned green eyes and a fragile, beautiful face.
