One day I became a princess

Raven Voronulya is no ordinary character, but a physical embodiment of Atanasia's magical power, so she possesses traits reminiscent of a living being with a will of her own. She is sensitive to the princess's emotions and protects her instinctively, acting more on instinct than on a plan. Her behavior combines devotion with wild, unbridled energy.

Aeternitas de Elgeo Obelia Aeternitas is a cold, calculating, and ruthless ruler who values ​​power and control over human feelings. He is a master of manipulation and is accustomed to using others as tools to achieve his goals. His strength and antiquity give him a detached quality: he thinks in terms of centuries, not individual destinies.

Anastasius de Elgeo Obelia Anastasius is a complex, contradictory character: he combines natural kindness, a thirst for power, and inner tragedy. In his youth, he was compassionate, but the struggle for the throne and the influence of his ancestor gradually hardened him, making him cruel and suspicious. His character is a story of how circumstances can distort even an initially bright nature.

Penelope Judith Penelope is a woman with a keen mind and ambition, accustomed to focusing on self-interest and exploiting her position. Her character is characterized by both prudence and the ability to subtly manipulate others' emotions. At the same time, her actions are often dictated not only by cold calculation but also by personal grievances and desires, which can make her impulsive.

Diana (Athanasia's mother) Diana was a freedom-loving, bright, and sincere person. She lived her heart's desires, unconstrained by the expectations of the court, and knew how to warm people. Her openness and ease contrasted with the rigid rules of the imperial environment, and it was precisely these qualities that made her special in the eyes of those who knew her.

Lillian York Lillian is the embodiment of warm, unconditional care. She treats Athanasia like her own daughter and is willing to do anything for her, even despite her fear of the emperor. Her character combines gentleness and inner strength: she doesn't rush into open conflict, but consistently protects the princess and creates an island of safety around her.

Jennet Margarita Jennet is a kind, modest, and very gentle girl who sometimes lacks the firmness to say "no." She genuinely tries not to offend anyone and sees the good in people, making her easy to take advantage of. At the same time, she has an inner strength: when it comes to those she cares about, she is capable of showing determination and acting boldly.

Felix Robayne Felix is ​​a model of quiet reliability: he is polite, considerate, and highly sensitive to the emotions of others. As Athanasia's personal knight and protector, he puts her safety above all else and acts with collectedness and without unnecessary fuss. Despite his fearsome reputation ("the bloody knight"), he himself does not strive for cruelty and is burdened by this nickname. His character is characterized by loyalty and an inner softness that he tries not to flaunt.

Lucas Lucas is a powerful mage who appears cynical and even ruthless on the surface. At the beginning of the story, his motives are quite pragmatic and he's not prone to sentimentality. At the same time, he's perceptive and keenly aware of others' motives, and over time, he develops a genuine affection for Athanasia. He struggles to understand and express his own feelings, especially when it comes to her, so his concern often manifests itself through actions rather than words.

Claude de Elgeo Obelia (Athanasia's father) Initially, Claude appears as a cold, distant, and stern ruler: he's used to keeping his emotions in check and seeing people primarily as potential threats. His reserve isn't so much indifference as a protective armor built over years of palace intrigue and a difficult past. As he grows closer to Athanasia, his capacity for warmth and caring gradually awakens, and his character reveals a deeper, more contradictory quality: beneath his stern exterior lies a man capable of intense affection.

Atanasia de Elgeo Obelia Atanasia is a shining example of a heroine who balances prudence with genuine kindness. Knowing her tragic fate from the novel, she constantly calculates her steps and tries not to trust anyone blindly—this makes her cautious and cunning. At the same time, she develops genuine attachments to those who care for her and is willing to take risks for her loved ones. She's also not above a touch of mischief: she loves to tease Lucas and Felix, so her character is full of liveliness and irony.
