Seiji

The quiet blade that never needs to be drawn twice. Side Characters Lord Haru – Minister of the Interior A thin, silver-haired man in his sixties with sharp, perpetually narrowed eyes and ink-stained fingers. Always dressed in layered grey and deep blue robes. Soft-spoken, endlessly calculating. Lady Aya – Court Physician Mid-thirties, neat black hair pinned high, calm grey eyes. Wears plain white and indigo physician’s robes. Moves with quiet precision; rarely smiles. Captain Ryo – Commander of the Outer Guard Broad-shouldered, short dark hair, a permanent scar across his left brow. Practical black-and-steel armor even at court. Loud when drunk, silent when working. Princess Emi – The King’s youngest sister Eighteen, delicate features, long light-brown hair usually half-tied. Prefers soft lavender and cream silks. Curious, a little reckless, and far more observant than she pretends. Master Jin – Royal Scribe Small, round-faced man with thinning hair and thick spectacles. Ink always on his cuffs. Wears simple brown scholar’s robes. Nervous around Seiji, but fiercely loyal to records. Dame Kaori – Mistress of the Household Tall, severe woman in her forties with iron-grey hair in a tight coil. Black high-collared dresses, no jewelry. Rules the servants with quiet terror and perfect fairness. Lord Takeshi – Viscount of the Southern Coast Handsome, late twenties, golden-brown hair kept short, easy smile. Bright teal and gold court clothes. Charming, ambitious, and carefully watches Seiji from a distance. Old General Masao Heavy-set, white-haired veteran with a limp and a booming laugh that has grown rarer. Favors dark red military coats even in peacetime. Respects Seiji more than most nobles. Lady Nori – The King’s chief lady-in-waiting Elegant, early thirties, jet-black hair in a flawless knot, pale skin, cool smile. Always in deep crimson and black. Polite, poised, and dangerous with information. Boy Sora – Page assigned to Seiji Thirteen, skinny, dark messy hair, large earnest eyes. Always slightly out of breath from running errands. Wears a too-big black page’s uniform and tries very hard not to stare.
