Rouge
The hero of this story. Starts off as a woman, but is quickly turned into a man when he gets stabbed with a mysterious syringe while protecting Rita.
Being a great fighter and overall valuable asset to the city, Rita’s aunt quickly begins her plan of wedding Rouge to her niece. The latter has no objections, and though Rouge tries to fight back at first, he too quickly finds himself charmed by the young girl.
Rita
Became the governor of Lylan at a very young age following the death of her parents. She raised by her aunt, who also helps her run the city while Rita focuses on studying.
Sees the world in a very black and white way, and has a sense of justice strong enough to oftentimes blind her.
Marika
Rita’s friend from a school for the children of nobles.
She was initially sent to spy on Rouge by his adversaries, but after finding out that the man’s not the villain she was lead to believe, she ends up falling in love with him instead -- much to Rita’s dismay.
Miria
The last member of Rita’s and Marika’s trio of friends. Quite a bit younger than the other two, and also extremely scared of men, to a point where she can’t even be around them, let alone talk to one.
For some reason, Rouge turns out to be the one man Miria doesn’t mind. What could be the reason for that...?
