okay.  Now for the princess. (See, told you it'd be sometime today.)<br/><br/>Name: Princess Saiyo de Arnore (short version)<br/>Appearance(a pic is good, or a description): (http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv280/Tsunkotsu/alicia.jpg)<br/>this image is of Princess Alicia from Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria.  She actually epitomized how I imagined Saiyo, so that's why I chose her for the pic.<br/><br/>Background: Princess Saiyo grew up sheltered from much of the world within the Arnore Household, despite her best attempts to explore outside. Within, she tended to the Sacred Crystal, an artifact that was responsible for keeping the world in balance.  Without her watchful attention, the crystal would end up severing the balance of the world, causing much pain and misery.  One day, much of her family was assassinated simultaneously.  She only managed to escape because of her trusty bodyguard, Marie.  When she went to the army for help, they tried to kill her as well, so she and Marie were forced to flee from Ciel, in the hopes that they could get help from Ciel's allies, and restore order to her kingdom.  Together, they now travel around Aulden, searching for allies to help them in their cause.<br/><br/>Abilities: Saiyo is a novice in combat, having had little exposure to it before. She has great magical power, but does not yet know how to fully utilize it to defend herself.<br/>
