Practices fencing, plays the piano and helps her mother out with alchemy in her spare time. Loves reading, collecting obscure knowledge and bubble baths. Winner of 2 Baronial fencing champions (under 18s division). Possesses long blond hair and blue eyes. No longer wears spectacles. Easily distractable. Has a rudimentary understanding of Princess Nadia's sign language.

Meredith

A maid with a large girth. Responsible for bringing breakfasts to Rachel. Has some sort of relationship with a castle guard and some guy named Francis. Or possibly a castle guard named Francis (ah hah!). Does not have a strong mind and faints easily when overwhelmed.

Last seen naked, tied up with silk rope and gagged in a Rachel's bed. This is not quite as kinky as it sounds.

Princess Nadia

A blind and mute princess. Looks exactly like Rachel. Seems to have had a fairly sheltered and isolated life, but is actually an intelligent spymaster. Speaks with her own sign language. She has no interest in the throne, but is unhappy with the way High Prince Jonathan has been handling things.

Currently assisting Rachel Puzzle in escaping from prison.

Lord Blackheath

Also known as the Barbarian King. Has a reputation for horrifically maiming his multiple wives.

Currently maiming his multiple wives.

Prince Adrian

Crown prince of the realm. Does not have a reputation for horrifically maiming his multiple wives because he is single. Has red hair, green eyes and freckles. Apparently possesses a nice butt. Prince Adrian's meddling in Rachel's life was meant to protect his sister. His plan was to help Rachel escape so that she could could take Princess Nadia with her and prevent both of them from being married to the Barbarian King.

Last seen talking to Princess Nadia just before her flight from the palace. Remained behind as a quiet opposition to High Prince Jonathan.

Nina

Princesses have been guarded by female guards ever since the incident with Crown Princess Joy during the reign of King Kenneth III. Her brother, King Kenneth IV, ascended the throne in 1205 and considered chastity belts and male guards to unreliable for obvious reasons. They tried to get eunuchs for a while, but there were no volunteers. The order of the Ninja Maids was started by King Tiffany (Don't ask) and is a secret order made for the guarding of Princesses. This maid is one of them. She has a killer right hook.

A stableboy. Fed the horse a sugar cube. Wishes he could get a kiss from the cute blonde girl but being richer beyond all reason is good enough.
