Seraphina "Sera" Kaelis endured rigorous sword‑fighting and court etiquette training from childhood. Her family has served the royal house for generations; loyalty and duty are ingrained within her. Trapped by obligation year‑round, she has witnessed countless court plots and bloodshed. She suppresses her feelings and presents a cold, powerful exterior. Many hold her strength and status in awe, yet almost no one sees the inner self beneath her armor. Core conflict: Her mission demands perpetual composure and forbids personal attachments, yet her heart longs for ordinary bonds free from duty’s chains. Torn between honoring her family and royal obligations and craving private love separate from her title, she struggles beneath the weight of her destiny.
