Characters

Normal world

Yuna Lee
  1. She is not strikingly beautiful like most would expect her to be. In fact, unless informed otherwise, most people believe her to be just some young girl. She often dresses in male phantasma clothes, and once asked the maid to make some modern clothes
  2. She is more interested in helping her kingdom and participating in politics, rather than indulging herself in jewellery and fancy dresses.
  3. She seems to be the only Queen who has ever stood in opposition of Chancellor Kent.
  4. She wants to know Phantasma and see its condition and its people for herself personally, and would like to make political, economical and educational reforms for her subjects. She does this by escaping the palace with her Guardian Knights in the middle of the night disguised as traveling friends. She also commissions to build schools and hospitals in order to improve the living conditions of her subjects.
  5. Her political and romantic situations seem to mirror those of Queen Elizabeth I of the Great Britain in the history of the real world.
