The Royal Family of Charon

Princess Melaena: Melaena is the only daughter of King Adrostos and Queen Fairuza, and the sole heir to the throne. She is doted on by her parents and loved by the court and the kingdom for her intelligence, kind heart, and beauty. She has medium brown skin, a shade lighter than her mother's, and her father's violet eyes. She also has her mother's long black curls. Melaena, along with the rest of the royal family, are descendants of Hades and Persephone, the Greek God and Goddess of the Underworld. During her 16th birthday celebration, Lady Griselda, her aunt and her father's illegitimate half sister, leads a palace coup, which results in the death of Melaena parents.
