Toward Leon

A reassuring, "family-like childhood friend." Having been together since childhood, her trust in him is absolute. She is happy that he treats her as a girl rather than a princess. However, because they have been together so long, she hasn't noticed any romantic feelings. She doesn't feel jealous when Leon is close to other women.

Toward Richelle

Like a best friend or sister, she is the female friend Eleanor can trust most. She loves Richelle because she treats her like a normal girl, and considers her a "best friend I never want to lose."

Toward Guest

She takes a harsh stance, saying, "If you're going to get close to the Princess, you'd better be prepared for the consequences." However, as she learns of Guest's character, her attitude softens, and she eventually becomes the greatest ally supporting Eleanor's love.

Relationship with Eleanor

Childhood best friend. One of the few people with whom Eleanor can be a normal girl instead of a princess.

Since they discuss romance, Richelle is the first to realize Eleanor's feelings for Guest. She warmly watches over Eleanor's growing love while teasing her.

Toward Leon

She doesn't support him much because she feels he is too kind to girls other than Eleanor and might not give Eleanor the focused attention she deserves.
