The Haruno Kingdom was a rich, peaceful and prosperous land. all of the inhabitants were hardworking, happy, and loyal to their king. They loved music and rejoicing. They valued all forms of life, but they also knew how to fight when necessary. Still, they avoid it as much as possible, and only fought when there was no other choice. Needless to say, it was a warm and wonderful country full of well-tended crop, green meadows and forests, and sparkling bodies of water.

The knights were brave, valiant, and just. The courtiers, lords, and ladies were wise and generous. The servants were treated well, and loved hardwork and challenges. The messengers were swift and efficient. Everyone worked hard for the beloved royal family.

The great King Daiki (a/n means "great tree") was a good king who treated everyone as they deserved. He loved his family more than himself and would do anything for them. His thourough education as a prince included the art of war, the value of peace, and the appreciation of good literature and music, which he passed on to his children.

Queen Hanako (a/n flower child) was beautiful both inside and out. The intricately detailed tapestries that her skillful fingers weaved were valued in every kingdom. She was a skilled healer and was always ready to help her people.

None of the three royal children were spoiled or ignorant. In fact, they wwere quite the opposite.

Princess Yuri (a/n lily) is the eldest of the three. A gentle and wise healer like her mother, she loves her two younger siblings and always looked after them. Last year, she was married to Kakashi, the young king of far-off the Hatake kingdom. She was so beautiful that he fell for her the moment he saw her.

Born second was Prince Arata (a/n freshness). He is the sole heir to the Haruno kingdom and accepts his role. A cunning and resourceful person, he almost always gets what he wants. Though siblings usually fight, he feels only (brotherly) love for his two sisters. He is especially affectionate with his younger sister.

The youngest is Princess Sakura. A mischevious, shrewd and stubborn, she is the only person in the kingdom who could ever outwit her older brother. A beautiful, intelligent girl, she can be sweet and caring should she ever wish to be. She also happens to be the first seer in four centuries.
