*Raphael: Second in command. A sexy demon. As charismatic as darkness itself. If I could imagine a mentor in my youth, it would be him. I don't know how he can contain so much charisma, but it definitely suits him. I wonder if he has anything for me... Oh, I would (the rest is hidden by censorship, because this world only loves hentai, and this is a natural relationship between a woman and a man, which is not accepted here, but the description of the actions is quite luxurious, even contagious. As compensation and a necessity to display a large amount of text, here is an excerpt from the lore of the Lizardmen: "Lizardmen are an ancient, cruel, but almost extinct race. Lizardmen swallow people in an instant. They are cynical and vengeful, except for very rare individuals. Fear the Lizardmen, or they will come for you").
Kilika: Also second in command. We haven't interacted much, but overall, she's not bad at all. She reminds me of an assistant who occasionally handles matters within Carneol when Ayko has more important things to do. It's good to have someone to rely on.
Beata: She almost killed us all, and she's also very arrogant. I don't like her, not at all. She could betray us again. She should be expelled from Carneol for its own safety. Perhaps she possesses techniques from Lower Lunaria. But where did she get them? Well, I don't know much about my own people, so I might be wrong. I'll keep an eye on her, just in case she's released early. In any case, she deserves it. She'll learn not to threaten her own.
Gion: Either deeply in love or a slave. I can't be sure, but somehow I feel like the latter. He has no opinion of his own and is just a obedient puppy. This makes him quite endearing, and away from Beata, he even sometimes says sensible things. He might suddenly try to take revenge for unkind words directed at Beata. It's worth being careful.
Keliandra: Oh, that's me! Do I respect myself? That's a difficult question... I don't know. But I definitely value my life.
Garrett: A suspicious assassin, but I don't see him as a threat. He's quite attractive in his intimidating behavior. Besides, he's useful in a number of situations where all the other members of Carneol are useless. I highly appreciate his role in our organization. Garrett's cunning may play a key role in the battle with the possessed captain of the guard.
Merel: I don't know almost anything about him. An enigmatic type. I need to correct this gap in my knowledge.
Astellia: I don't care about the maids. Raphael probably knows a lot about her. Although I might not think of him the way I should. It's funny, but when I joined Carneol, there wasn't a maid here, and most of the people arrived shortly after me. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Kalina: Who is this? But she seems like a beautiful woman. Oh, she's our healer. I haven't really interacted with her at all. I should catch up. And preferably not by dying.
The Princess and her entourage:
Aiyano: looks like the princess's loyal lioness. Sounds silly? Silly, but appearance doesn't always match reality. In fact, I have no idea if Aiyano is connected to the princess in anything more than just being Ayko's acquaintance. But it seems to me that she is definitely here for a reason. Her abilities and our goal strangely complement each other, and she definitely has weight in the princess's eyes. It's worth being careful with her. Who knows what she has in mind...
Aria: I think I've heard that name once. Probably the princess's right hand or something like that. Not important for now.
The Princess: And I have no idea what Naria has in mind. She called me here at a suspiciously convenient moment for me. How did she even find out about my existence? It turned out that there are quite a few lucky ones like me. And there is a mission where everyone can die ingloriously. And this arrest... It was the princess who saved us, but it all happened so unexpectedly and spontaneously... What does Naria want? I would like to meet her at least once to better understand what this royal person is like. One thing I'm sure of: the princess is a predator, not prey. And definitely not a small, innocent girl. If she decided to bring me closer to her, I might even fully accept such an opportunity, but for now, we don't even know each other. So why does she need me? Why does she need all of us? It's unclear.
Capital personalities:
Sarana: the person who caught Beata. I heard that she even killed her. Funny. I wouldn't want to attract her suspicion and anger. So, Beata, does your hand hurt or not? I probably should have pitied you... but I don't want to. Sarana herself looks very authoritative, although I only saw her briefly in the fortress. Ah, what a woman!
Victor Loss: a mad, possessed man. He will dismember me in a hundred different ways if we meet. He is terribly strong and dangerous. He is no match for Carneol, and yet we are going to fight him. Oh, I wish I could just refuse this suicidal mission, but there is no choice...
Strauss: he didn't help me, although he should have understood that I was not to blame! However, he didn't do any harm either... And in general, I was just not myself in the fortress. Strauss is a normal guy. Especially against the background of Victor Loss. Ha-ha, very funny, yes.
Caravella Lin: She gave me a ring. I don't like it. I really don't like it. There's nothing more to say. Mages are not treated like people here. If this Victor has to fight all the mages of the capital with rings, he will chop them all to pieces. Thank you, Bureau of Magic, for your care and safety!
Edin: A Lunarian. He doesn't like dark Lunarians. He can be understood. Unlike Gion, he is more inclined to form an opinion about a person based on her actions and facts, rather than on racial dislike. Perhaps we will even become friends someday.
Girl from Phantom: She doesn't seem to be very alive. What can be said about someone who doesn't care about anything mechanically? Nothing. But her master is a more interesting person. Even dangerous, perhaps.
Alice: How wrong I was about her... I should be smarter when dealing with strangers. However, it seems that everything worked out. We parted peacefully. Perhaps even with some mutual sympathy. Ha! I will prove to you all that dark Lunarians can be worthy people! There is no need to judge me by race.
Dream: to get four action points, but so far there are not even three. And I still need to take off the antimagic ring and get Raphael into bed. I wonder what is more difficult?
