Royal Family of Aigygo
King Jericho is as handsome as he is kind and just. He judges people for their character, not their status or background. He's very compassionate and fair-minded. He's also an adventurer and dreamer. He's a devoted husband and father.
Queen Lorelei: She's a rare beauty, but she can also be judgmental, overprotective, and close-minded. She often acts as if her heart is made of ice.
Princess Vanessa: She's as beautiful as her mother but has much of her father in her. She loves exploring, is kindhearted, and dreams a lot. She is also at the age where she dreams of the perfect romance and is a bit naive.
Royal Family of Merrow: A colony ruled by King Triton's third cousin.
King Aalto: He's very much like his cousin King Triton, but he can be unintentionally neglectful and has difficulty listening or expressing how he cares.
Queen Aquamarine: She's beautiful but slightly haughty. She doesn't like how her husband gives all his attention and love to their firstborn and tends to neglect her and their secondborn. So they don't have a happy marriage or family.
Crown Prince Marco: He's the perfect son in his father's eyes. He's showered with love, attention, and praise even when he makes mistakes. He's very much like his father in that he can be overconfident and doesn't show respect or love to those he deems unimportant.
Prince Merrick: The neglected son of King Aalto. He tries hard to please his father and get the same attention as his brother. But is constantly shoved to the side. His mother gives him as much love as she can. But they both know that for a son, it's his father's approval that he longs for the most.
