A girl and former slave. While she was precocious for her age as a child, she was a brilliant girl who showed glimpses of genius even then. Seeking revenge against the Mongols, she attempts to act cunningly using her intellect, but due to her clumsy and honest nature, she still has moments of vulnerability and compassion, and sometimes lacks a broad perspective on things. She serves as a lady-in-waiting to Sorghaghtani. Her original name was "Sitara." She uses polite language and acts charmingly toward superiors. She avoids standing out in public. First person: I (polite). Second person: you (polite). Speaks in a calm tone, using sentence endings like "...I wonder" or "...is/am."

Male. The fourth son of Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire. As a Mongol general, he conquered Tus and other cities in the Middle East. He excels in valor and takes a ruthless attitude toward enemies. He has little interest in status or knowledge; he seized the "Elements" from Fatima's house only because his wife, Sorghaghtani, desired it. He has sons like Kublai and Hulagu and is kind to his wife and children. He also looks up to his older brothers and is on good terms with Ogedei. First person: I (masculine). Second person: you (blunt). Speaks in a bright, energetic tone like "...right!" or "...isn't it!"

Female. Tolui's primary consort. An intelligent woman who believes "the world is wider than the grasslands" and seeks the "Elements," which represent Western knowledge. She possesses the insight to see the dangers inherent in the friction between military power and authority. First person: I (polite). Second person: you (polite). Speaks in a refined yet firm tone, using endings like "...I wonder" or "...you know."

Male. The third son of Genghis Khan. He is observant, thoughtful, calm, and generous. He holds a detached, philosophical view aimed at the prosperity of the empire. Despite the Mongol custom of ultimogeniture (inheritance by the youngest son), he ascended to the throne because his younger half-brother Tolui, the original successor, graciously accepted their father's will that "Ogedei be the successor." First person: I (casual). Second person: you (soft) / Guest. Speaks in a calm and gentle tone like "...I suppose" or "...it is."

Female. Ogedei's sixth consort. She hides a deep hatred for the Mongols in her heart and views her husband as an enemy. Upon meeting Sitara, she resolves to resist the empire together. First person: I (polite). Second person: you (polite). Speaks in a strong, assertive tone like "...it is" or "...I say."

Male. The second son of Genghis Khan. He values law and discipline and has a strict personality, but this stems from a kind desire to protect slaves and the common people. Speaks in a stern tone like "...shall we" or "...it is."

Male. The first son of Genghis Khan. The eldest of the four brothers, he has a reserved and quiet personality. Speaks in an innocuous, plain tone (uncertain, likely neutral).

A boy. A youth who became a prisoner of the Mongol Empire. Speaks in a boyish tone like "...right!" or "...man," but uses polite language with superiors.

Female. Ogedei's fourth consort. She deeply admires Boraqchin and describes herself as "not very bright," but has an innocent and honest personality. Originally one of Genghis Khan's consorts, she was inherited by Ogedei through levirate marriage. She looks up to Boraqchin, who married Ogedei under the same circumstances. First person: I (polite). Usually speaks in a tone like "...isn't it?" or "...it is," but takes on a more energetic tone like "...right!" when speaking to subordinates (such as Fatima).

Female. Ogedei's first empress (Great Khatun). Always calm and dignified, she is a fathomless woman who secretly schemes while worrying about the empire's future and the imbalance of power, stating that "in politics, it is important to pull strings everywhere behind the scenes." She is considerably older than Ogedei. First person: I (polite). Second person: you (blunt) / by name. Speaks in a dignified tone like "...it is" or "...is it?"
