Biancasta Rodyt Pyordova ( Bii ) :
Daughter of Prince Biyon's nursemaid. Bii was raised with him as sibling and the two fell in love. But when Bii was 11th years old, Biyon's father, the king of Ramira, started looking for a princess for his son. Soon after, Eirene, Bii's mother, forbids her daughter to see Biyon again, in order to weaken their love. But after several days, the children meet again and Biyon declares to Bii that he will make her his princess. But later Bii has a disagreement with Eshild Balder, the only daughter of the Prime Minister of Ramira and the most serious candidate to become the princess. This first encounter will have terribles consequences for Bii. Indeed, worried about her daughter's future, Eshilde's mother makes her husband promise to kill Bii if their daughter is to be the princess. A few days later, Biyon takes Bii on a horseback ride and after giving her a crown of flowers, the prince promises the little girl that not only he will marry her, but he will also give her the crown of the Queen of Ramira, someday. But during the following night, Eirene asks Vasa, a servant girl who is friend with the mother and the daughter, to take Bii away from the palace, in order to protect her from a plot to kill the little girl. Vasa takes Bii in a place named the Pink Mountain and the two live in house surrounded by flowers. But Bii, not knowing that she's in danger, cries believing that her mother abandoned her to separate her from Biyon and begs Vasa to bring her back to her mother, but the young woman refuses knowing that Bii's safe in the mountain. Some time later, while Bii and Vasa take care of the flowers, they discover two young girls unconscious in each other's arms.

Five years later, we find Bii aged 16 and being the target of a prank by a little boy named Sibel. We discover that Sibel is the son of Lilin, the oldest of the two girls found by Bii and Vasa. The youngest is Lilin's little sister, Lala. A flashback reveals that Vasa was against the idea of welcoming two strangers. But Bii insisted, pointing out that the girls seemed to have nowhere to go and that their house was too big for just two people. Lilin was already pregnant at the time and several months later the delivery was difficult. Bii saddened by the thought that the baby and the mother could die, started to cry declaring that she intended to take good care of the baby and that she had even found a name for him, Sibel. Lilin approving the name, regains strength and gives birth to Sibel and the two recover from childbirth. Although Bii and Vasa don't know anything about Lilin and Lala, not even the name of Sibel's father, and the sisters don't know Bii and Vasa's true identities, no one ever asked. All five have simply lived happily together as a family for five years.

This quiet life comes to an end when Bii learns that Biyon, who has become king, will surely choose his wife during his eighteenth birthday. The very night she hears this news, Bii confides in Vasa her fear that the king has forgotten her. Although she understands that her dream of living with Biyon is impossible, Bii still loves the king and lives only in the hope of being able to see him again one day. The young girl also declares to Vasa that she would even be ready to sacrifice her life just to see him again at least once. A few days later, Bii meets by chance a strange man with a scar across his face, in the forest surrounding the house. This last accompanies her to go to the nearest town. There Bii finds a piece of fabric that she likes very much, but has problems with the saleswoman when she tries to buy it with her hair ornament. Because the saleswoman does not believe that a girl who seems to come from a modest background can own a real jewel and accuses her of being a thief. Luckily for Bii, the man she came to town with claims she's a noble pretending to be a commoner and he's her bodyguard. Which convinces the seller that the jewel really belongs to Bii and therefore returns it to the young girl at the insistence of her "bodyguard". Once back in the forest, Bianca thanks him for his help and he reveals his name, "Sei".

Sei also helps Bii to return home because the girl does not know the way back. Bii tells Sei that Vasa will be truly grateful to him. We also learn that Vasa scolded Bii and that it was out of spite that she made the decision to go to town. But the truth is that Bii wanted to go to the castle. Once back home, it's already dark and the young girl is reprimanded by the sisters and Vasa who also want to know why she has been away for so long. Sei having warned her that they would not be happy to learn that she was with a stranger, he advises her to pretend that she fell asleep. He also gives her an explanation for the fact that she could have slept so long. Bii recounts, as Sei suggested to her, that she fell asleep after eating a berry and when she woke up it was getting dark. They accept the explanation although Vasa seems to have doubts. This last orders Bii never to fall asleep outside again. Lilin then reveals to Bii that Vasa found a corpse in the forest and that the man had been killed with a sword blow.

On the morning of Bii's 17th birthday, a package is found outside the front door of the house. When they open it, Vasa, Lilin, and Bii discovered a piece of fabric inside. The same one that caught Bii's eye. Bii is certain that it was Sei who brought the fabric. But unable to reveal her thoughts to others, she makes up a story that God brought the cloth for her birthday. Vasa doesn't believe it at all but, for lack of a better explanation, she agrees to keep the gift. Lilin then offers to make it into a dress for Bii and the young girl finds it so beautiful that she walks everywhere in the forest with it. In the hope that Sei can see her, as a token of her gratitude. Sei and Bii eventually meet again, but the two are caught in the rain and must take shelter in a cave. Some time later, Bii wants to go to the forest but Vasa forbids her as a punishment for having disappeared again. The girl wishes to find Sei who gave her instructions if she wanted to meet him again. However, he forbade her to speak about him to the other inhabitants of the house. Bii is very fond of Sei and isn't afraid of him despite his scar because she knows that appearances don't always reflect a person's soul. She also tells him that from the moment she saw him for the first time, she knew he was a good person.

On Biyon's 18th birthday, she disappears from home again. Bii is with Sei who doesn't understand why she is silent and sad. So Bii asks him if, living in a place like the mountain, there isn't someone he would like to see. But Sei replies that he is an orphan and that he does not know what his parents look like. While apologizing, Bianca then asks him if he has any friends or a home he would like to see again. But Sei replies that he has none of that and has lived most of his life alone. Bii then tells him that she doesn't like the mountains and that she would like to go back, thinking of the castle. She also tells him that this place is too lonely for her. She sadly remembers that every time she wakes up in the middle of the night, she feels so alone. But even if she returned to the castle, she probably wouldn't be welcome there. It could even be that the prince she knew would no longer want her. And the fact that she shouldn't go back there is just too much for her to bear. Faced with the young girl's silence, Sei offers to drive her to town. But Bianca refuses on the pretext that it is getting late and that she has to go otherwise Vasa will worry. Sei then tells her that if there was anything he could do for her, she should let him know. Bii comforted, thanks him.

Some time later, while looking for Sei, Bii is bitten by a snake. Luckily for her, Sei quickly finds her and heals her. The next day, Sei brings her home while she is still unconscious, letting the other residents find out about his existence. Vasa frightened by Sei, by all the incidents that have happened and worried that Bii will die before she can see her mother and the man she loves her again, makes the decision to bring the young girl back at the castle. The young woman announces to Bii that after the healing of her leg, they will leave for Lana, the capital of Ramira where the castle is. The young girl, delighted, then asks her if her mother would have asked them to return. But Vasa replies that her mother doesn't know where they are. Confused at first, Bii doesn't understand this sudden decision, but eventually decides she doesn't need an explanation. The girl additionally tries to convince Vasa to leave immediately but quickly realizes that she is not yet in a condition to travel.

Once cured, Bii looks for Sei again to tell her that she will be leaving the next day. She finds him calling an eagle and as soon as he sees her, he rushes towards her. Bii thanks him for taking care of her and when Sei points out that she seems in a good mood. Bii replies that she is leaving the mountain forever the next day. When Sei asks her where she is going, the young girl replies that she is going back where she came from. Although Vasa asked Bianca not to let Sei know they were leaving she still wanted to say goodbye. When Sei asked her if everyone was leaving, Bii replied that only Vasa and she were leaving. She also tells him that if he needs anything, he can ask Lilin. Bii also reveals to him that when she arrived, it was just her and Vasa. But that they, the sisters and Sibel have lived as a real family, although it is not the same blood that runs in their veins. Then when Sei points out to her that the reason for her leaving must really be important for her to agree to part with them. Bii nods and reveals to him that there is someone she is dying to see and that she has only lived with the sole purpose of seeing him again.

On the day of departure, Lilin helps the young girl to dress in a man's outfit that she made herself for her. With sadness, the eldest sister asks Bii to take care and be happy. Bii's last action towards the sisters is to tries conforting a crying Lala.

The two sisters decide to run away together to a distant mountain until they collapsed from exhaustion on the verge of death.

Five years later, the two sisters lived in a house in the mountain with a woman named Vasa and a girl of 16 named Bii. In a flash back, we learn that Vasa and Bii find the sisters. Bii, aged at this time of 11, insisted to let the sisters lived with them despite Vasa who first, do not wanted to welcome strangers.

Even if they lived together during five years, Vasa and Bii never asked the sisters anything about their past not even about Sibel's father. And either Lilin nor Lala asked a thing about Vasa and Bii, even so Lilin suspects Bii to be someone important, who hide herself in this mountain. All the five of them, simply lived happily during all the years but Lilin is worry that this happiness not last forever. Some times later, Lala returning from the marquet, said to them that the actual King of Ramira would certainly choose a wife during his 18th birthday. Surprisingly, hearing this affect particularly Bii. Shortly after, Lilin learn in secret, that Bii knows in person the King and was in love with him and still is. Even so Bii knows that she can't be with the King and that makes her suffers. Lilin, knowing the pain to cannot be with the loved one, would like to help her but she doesn't know how. It and the fact that she saves Lilin and her family is certainly why the young motheris so protective and kind toward Bii. Some times later, Lilin learns that Skadei Thor becomes the new King of Anatoria. It makes her considers carefully Sibel's future, as she knows that Sibel is actually the only child of King Thor. Some time later, Vasa declares to Lilin that her and Bii must leave the house and they may not be able to return at all. To the shock and sadness of the young mother. Vasa proposes to Lilin to comes with them with Lala and Sibel for the good of her son's future. But it's for the same reason that Lilin cannot comes with Vasa. Days later, Lilin help Bii to put on a commoner man outfit she made herself for the young girl's journey. She demands to Bii to well and happy and to Lala to stop crying in order that Vasa and Bii leaves with the image of smiles on their faces. And so the woman and the girl of 17 leave the house forever. Days later, Lala demands to her older sister if it would be still possible for them and Sibel to follow Vasa and Bii. But Lilin tells her younger sister that they may have to go to Anatoria. When Lala asks why, Lilin answers that she told her once that Sibel'father was Anatorian. But Lala remarks that Lilin doesn't know where he lives, that Anatoria is 10 times bigger than Ramira, that he may not acknwledge Sibel or even don't remenber her because he is a noble. To this, Lilin answers that he became the king and Sibel is his only son, it seems. She also tells Lala that she hadn't decided yet but, if something happens to her, to takes Sibel to his father and that's the reason she .couldn't follow Vasa. Some times later, three man broke into the house and takes Sibel hostage. The terrify and angry mother asks them who they are and orders them to let go of her son. The chief then demands to her if she knows Bii and if so where she is. To this, Lilin simply answers that Bii is not here. After a conversation they between them, Lilin learns that they from Anatoria. When the chief orders to his men to kill them all. Lilin tries to tell them who is Sibel but one of them stab her with a sword. Despite her wound, Lilin is able to tell them that her boy is Skadei Thor's child and demands them to take Sibel to their king. Lilin, then, died before her son's eyes and those of her sister.

Lala Monica : Lilin's younger sister and Sibel's maternal aunt and spiritual mother. She is also Skadei Thor's Second consort and Lila's mother. Lala is the one who persuaded Yuri Law to take Sibel and her to Anatoria, instead to simply kill them. She is also the one who indirectly make it possible for Sibel to become the Crown Prince of Anatoria. Indeed, in exchange to become Skadei's woman, Lala have from him the promise he'll considers Sibel as his heir. She also convinced King Thor to gave her a title of nobility. So, he makes Lala his Second Consort and gaves her his mother's family name Monica, which was the most powerfull family in Anatoria, althought the young Ramirian woman is not related to this family by blood. She saves Bii's life during the war between Ramira and Anatoria by the promise she made Yuri Law makes to let the Queen of Ramira escapes. After lady Theodora's departure for Sgarde, she becomes the protector of Hith and Areah. Even throught that Areah's mother had tried to kill her. Unfortunatly, Lala had three miscarriages before she gives birth to Lila. She chooses the name of her child with the two fisrt letters of her sister name, Lilin, and the last two letters of her own name which makes "Lila" and because it's the name of a little flower who blooms in Ramira. Lala died in childbirth without being able to see the daughter she prayed so much for. Lala really loved Skadei even through she was not blind to his faults.

Hezel Thor Haiga : Skadei Thor's younger sister, Beatrice and Claire Haiga's mother, Sibel's paternal aunt and adoptive mother. She becomes the owner of Castle Thor according to last wishes of Madame Gretten before she commits suicide. Hezel married Duke Haiga and from their marriage Beatrice and, several years later, Claire were born. She has no doubt that Sibel is Skadei's biological son because of their striking resemblance. She decided to adopts Sibel in order to protect the new dynasty Thor. It's certainly for this reason she gives the family name Thor to Sibel. Even through the official reason is that it's Hezel who adopted him, not her husband, so the boy took her maiden name. She also becomes the protector of Lala and it's her who convinced the Ramirian commoner maiden to become an Anatorian noblewoman. Surprisingly, Hezel made Isabella the guardian of Castle Thor and Areah's tutor, through her distrust towards the older woman. After Lala's death, she enstrusts again Areah but also Lila to Isabella. It's her who apoints Vega Varan to be Sibel's bodyguard. And also who makes come back Areah and Lila to the Royal Castle of Anatoria.

Sei Ren : First presenting himself only as Sei when he met Bii for the first time. Sei Ren was secretly sent by Skadei Thor to find, protects and, when the time comes, bring Bii to him. It's why he killed the man sent by Balder to Pink Mountain in order to kill the young girl. Ren has also killed Vasa with the thought that Bii will come back to the mountain house as she has no longer a guide. Finally Sei accompanies Bii to the Royal castle of Ramira.

Ramira :
Main country where the story of Princess takes place. Ramira is a little island but with an almost perpetuel spring climate and numerous precious metal mines. The country have also an excellent navy and a good economy so Ramira had almost always knew the peace. But althrought the country is rich, Ramira is considered as a weak state because it doesn't have an army. Because of its wealth, Ramira has always been threatened by its neighboring countries. This country has its own calendar and seems old of more than 600 years. At the beginning of the story, Ramira is governed by the Pyordova dynasty. But the King Kakan Pyordova II's seriously ill and his only heir is a young boy of 12 years. So the King starts looking for a Princess for his son. But both Anatoria and Sgarde take this opportunity to get closer to Ramira, especialy Reuten Thor of Anatoria. Indeed, the King, the General Vaida and the Prime Minister Balder fear that Lord Thor will kill, Eshild Balder.The Prime Minister's daughter and the most serious candidate to become the Princess, then all the others until they choose his daughter Theodora. The Prime Minister plans to make believe that the Prince's nursemaid's daughter, Bii, is the future princess. He believes that the plan can be possible because the Prince loves the girl and had already insisted on marrying her. But the plan is nipped in the bud when Bii disappears. Shortly after, Reuten Thor is murdered by his ancient mistress and the King Pyordova II died of his illness. The Prince Biyon is crowned King Kakan Pyordova III and the General Vaida and the Prime Minister Balder become regents.

Approximatly 5 years later, Biyon turns 18 and becomes major and the regents are no longer necessary. The engagement between King Pyordova III and Eshild Balder is also proclaimed. This surprises many because most people thought the King would marry immediatly after turned 18. The reason is that the King doesn't want to Prime Minister's daughter because he still loves Bii. Indeed, Biyon still research the girl and so the Prime Minister Balder also. Because this latter knowns full well that the King would never accept Eshild as long Bii's alive. On another side, Biyon doesn't trust Balder because he suspects him to prepare something with Shadei Thor of Anatoria. Indeed, an Anatorian informed the King of Ramira that Skadei Thor was able to usurp the throne of Anatoria thanks to money coming from the Prime Minister of Ramira. And General Vaida discovers the proof that a revolt is brewing. Suddently, Bii reappears and she and Biyon get married, witout witness. Shortly after, King Byon announces he had secretly married Biancasta Rodyt, known as Bii, and she's pregnant, during a council meeting. He announces that their child will be his heir and want to make Bii, the Queen consort of Ramira. For this, both Anatoria and Sgarde must recognize the young woman as the Queen. But in any case, the King will not marry Eshild Balder. What provokes, the Prime Minister's anger. Sgarde accepts easily the new Queen of Ramira. But Anatoria will accepts her only if Eshild Balder becomes King Thor's second consort. Which will be a shame for Ramira because Lady Balder is the most powerfull lady of this country. So, the council of 100 meets to decide if a nursemaid's daughter can become Queen. And whether to send the most powerfull lady of Ramira to become a mere second consort for that. King Biyon Pyordova decides to marry Bii before the nobility of Ramira, without considering Shadei Thor's request. But shortly after, Eshild Balder disappears and her father uses that as an excuse to revolt. The royal army of Ramira manages to defeat the army of the rebel Balder. But lost the war against Anatoria, ally of Balder, and the Pyordova family must escapes. Anatoria make Balder the new King of Ramira.

But Balder is only a puppet king and Ramira becomes more a vassal of Anatoria than an independant state. The people of Ramira has always love the Pyordova and so hates Balder for his treason. They hate him more when the citizens learn that Balder has sold Ramirian ships plans, considered as Ramira's pride, to Anatoria before King Pyordova III cancelled his engagement with his daughter. From the part 4, Ramira is governed by the Kataros, a Sgardian family, throught Balder II, the child of Bane Balder and Larissa Kataros, after Balder I was killed by King Biyon Pyordova. The Kataros are hated not only because of their link with Balder but also because Sgarde invaded Ramira to defend the child of Balder and Kataros and stop Biyon to restore Ramira as before the war with Anatoria. Under the domination of the Balder and the Kataros, Ramira has become a poor country. Which made the Ramirian people hates the two families even more. But at the ends of part 5, Pyordova forces led by Princess Freya Pyordova reconquer the royal castle and the capital Lana and captured Balder II and the Queen Mother Larissa Kataros.

Anatoria :
Second main country where the story takes place. Anatoria is described as an immense country, ten times larger than Ramira. But the climate is mostly cold and harsh and the winters are longs with lots of snow. The only mild periods are during spring which are very short. Agriculture is therefore difficult and the country has no natural resources. The only resource that Anatoria seems to have is the export of mercenaries which makes it a very powerful military state. Anatoria is older than Ramira because its calendar had already more than 900 years.

At the beginning of the story, this country is governed by a King, whose we do not know his name, who only seems to have two concerns. The first, to have a second son, because his only son is mentally defective. The second, his ambitious paternal half-brother, Reuten Thor, and Thor's eldest child Skadei. But after that Reuten Thor was murdered, the King sends Skadei lives in the Southern region far away from the capital, and forget him. But 5 years after Reuten Thor's death, Skadei Thor revolts and seizes the throne. The King tries to escape but is captured and executed on Thor's orders. The late King'son is officially exiled but secretly murdered on the new King's orders. Skadei becomes King Thor I and the Thor dynasty is established. For a time, the young king refuses to take a wife. But approximatly a year after his coronation, King Thor takes a commoner orphan girl named Lala as his second consort and gives her his mother family name, Monica. Making the young Ramirian maiden, a hight-ranking Anatorian noblewoman. The fact that Skadei marries Lala arises from a secret pact between the two of them. Indeed, the King of Anatoria promises to the young woman that if she becomes his. He'll considers her nephew, Sibel Thor, who is both his sister's, Hezel, adopted son and his unrecognized biological son, as his heir, althought it doesn't become official at first. Shortly after, Anatoria invades Ramira and the second country become a vassal of the first. Approximatly 5 years later, he marries, Yopina Argo, a daughter of the King of Sgarde and make her his queen. At the part 4 of the story, King Thor made officialy Sibel the Crown Prince of Anatoria, althrought he has three recognised daughters, the youngest of them is the Queen's. But at the part 5 of the story, Skadei Thor begins to take an interest in his second daughter and Lala's only daughter, Lila. Which adds to the Queen's furry who never accepted that her daughter, Derica, was deprived of her right to the throne in favor of Sibel. At the ends of part 5, Skadei Thor's children and possible heirs are, Sibel Thor, the official heir of Anatoria, prisoner in Ramira by Pyordova forces. Areah Thor, the first Princess of Anatoria, presumed dead but alive and amnesiac. Lila Thor, Skadei Thor's favorite child, and Derica Thor whose mother is determined to make her the next Queen. Adding to this that the King seems to suspect his sister, Duchess Hezel Haiga, of wanting dethrone him. It's possible that a succesion war will take place in Anatoria in the future.
