More info of each character will be added, as well as more of their lines.
Ariana, lead, crown princess of Praaven
By nature Ariana is good, stubborn but still quite sensitive. She loves the outdoors and animals. She gets along well especially with birds. Ariana's imagination is versatile, she loves daydreaming. And she might also be a bit of a hopeless romantic; she falls immediately for Eugene, when she first meets him.
During the story she becomes more mature and serious, due to her father's death. She misses her life as a princess but enjoys her new life. By the end Ariana has lost her vulnerability and is now determined and concentrated instead. She becomes the strong woman she as always dreamed of being.
Citronelle, Ariana's stepmother, Queen of Praaven
By nature, Citronelle is far from Ariana. She is evil, deceitful and an experienced liar. The only thing she cares of is her dream of becoming the only monarch of Praaven. Citronelle enjoys harassing Ariana and fooling the king. She is also a witch, but no one except her daughter knows about it.
During the story Citronelle's obsession for the throne becomes intolerable. She uses all her time for plotting the king's death and her daughter's rising to power. By the end she does not regret what she has done, not even if she is punished.
William, Ariana's father, King of Praaven
William is a loving husband and father. He cares deeply for his loved ones and would do anything for them. His daughter is his happiness; she reminds him of his previous, now dead, wife Polina. William is so enchanted by Citronelle's beauty that he does not notice his family suffering.
When William's daughter goes missing, William loses his willingness to live. He is depressed and mournful. This leads to the annoyed Citronelle murdering him.
Margit, Citronelle's daughter
(PHOTO MISSING)
Margit is a snob, a slob and a bully. She wants to look pretty and follows her mother's path in making Ariana's life most painful. Margit seems not to be too intelligent, but when she realises her mother is not a good person, she slowly starts to change.
Though she has been shown as a bully, she has developed some caring feelings towards Ariana. When she learns her mother is serious about killing the king and the crown princess, she tries to keep her mother from doing that but fails. In the end she regrets what she has been and what she has done.
Eugene, Prince of Damaris (the neighboring kingdom)
Eugene is a flirtatious young lad, he has no sense of humor and, according to Ariana later on in the story, he is a complete airhead. Eugene cares for his looks and his dear horse, Sir Cadogan. He spends most of his free time riding around the kingdom. Unlike many noble young men, he is not interested in getting married to a princess in order to become a king.
Eugene has one good point, and that is he is honest. When he notices, too late, that Ariana has fallen for him, he tells Ariana that he is already engaged to someone. Later on he also helps to prove that Ariana is the right heir to the throne.
Jacob, the bodyguard of the royal family
In the beginning, what we know of Jacob is that he is willing to obey the royal family's will and that he is loyal to the king and his daughter. He also seems to have a slight crush on Ariana. When he is told to kill Ariana, he tells her to flee and find a safe place to hide in.
During the story he realises he likes Ariana a lot and that he misses her. He goes looking for Ariana and accidentally bumps into her in the townsquare. They get along well, and in the end they become a couple.
(Interesting facts: Jacob looks exactly like his father who has retired, and Jacob took his place as the boduguard. Jacob also has a twin brother, John.)
