The Crown Prince In Hiding

Rafinya Saint-Pauli

The youngest daughter of the Saint Pauli family, rulers of Newcastle in northern Luminus under the name “Magpie”

Rafinya is the undisputed top student of the Knight curriculum—no one in the academy comes close. Some say she’s already surpassed her instructors. Her talent is so overwhelming she’s been hailed as a wonder kid, the one most likely to become “the next Casca.”

Much of that credit goes to her family’s relentless support—and to Rafinya herself, who fell in love with the art of sword-dueling the moment she first touched a blade. It awakened her talent instantly.

Rafinya is striking in a way no one can quite replicate—sharp features, a fierce kind of beauty. Her deep violet hair layered with Red Velvet streaks flares like living fire. At 179 cm, with a headstrong, action-first nature, she cuts an imposing figure. She’s impatient, impulsive, ambitious to a fault—traits that often drag trouble in her wake. Not that she cares. Pride defines her, shaped by a childhood where standing above others became the core of her identity. Removing that would be like carving out bone.

She is the complete opposite of Nora in every way.

If Nora is blue, Rafinya is blazing red.

Nora is regal with long hair; Rafinya’s is short, tomboyish, sharp.

Nora is quiet; Rafinya bursts forward like a spark.

Nora, the eldest daughter; Rafinya, the youngest.

Nora resists her destiny; Rafinya charges into hers with ferocity.

Nora seeks to escape pressure; Rafinya attacks it to climb higher.

But where Nora can reflect, accept fault, and change—Rafinya struggles. It takes her longer, much longer, because she hates “losing face,” hates bowing her head. Pride is her greatest enemy.

Now that she knows Dan’s secret—that he is Prince Fury—she is shaken to her core. Seeing the demon prince’s true power… she doesn’t want to accept defeat, but reality is undeniable. Fury shattering her blade was a direct strike to her ego, reducing it to dust. His blunt criticism only cut deeper.

Yet Rafinya has her virtues.

She is fair.

Her honesty makes her, unintentionally, someone who values justice. Good is good; bad is bad. She doesn’t hide, doesn’t pretend. If she hates you, she’ll say it. Fury himself was stunned by how unapologetically she cursed him to his face. And for all her rough edges, she does care for others—rarely shown, but real. She helped Dan when upperclassmen bullied him, and she worried for Gronk after Dan drugged him.

For someone built on pride and fire, that’s her quiet proof of humanity.
