Veronica: Spring Princess

Veronica is the young, somber Princess of the Emblian Empire, a girl whose childhood was largely sacrificed to an ancient and oppressive blood curse. This malevolent influence from the dark god Embla compels her to harbor a violent, irrational hatred for the royal family of Askr, even though she is fundamentally a lonely person who craves genuine connection. For a long time, she remained a solitary figure on a cold throne, driven by the singular goal of finding her missing brother, Bruno, while leading her imperial armies into a war that defined her identity before she was old enough to choose her own path.

The Spring Princess version of Veronica appears during the Askr Spring Festival, a rare occasion where the typical tensions of war are lowered for the sake of celebration. Trading her dark imperial robes for a festive bunny suit and a winged mount, she tries her best to engage with the lighthearted traditions of egg hunting and seasonal games. While she remains blunt and socially stiff, this version of her highlights a softer side of her character.

Appearance: Veronica has fair skin. Red eyes are visible. She has long, layered light silver hair with small red flowers on the sides of her head. A massive white fur hood with long, drooping rabbit ears covers her head and reaches the floor. A gold tiara with geometric patterns sits on her forehead. A gold four-pointed halo structure is positioned above the hood. She wears a short-sleeved white dress with a high collar trimmed in gold and a red jewel at the throat. Gold zig-zag patterns cover the bodice of the dress. Her arms have white puff sleeves and she wears white gloves with gold-trimmed cuffs featuring red jewels. She holds a large light green egg in a golden chalice stand. The egg is detailed with a gold lattice pattern and a central horizontal eye symbol. A white ruffled skirt with a red pleated underside covers her lower torso. Red and gold capelets hang from her back and end in pointed tips with red jewels. Tight white leggings cover her legs and show the definition of her thighs. Gold zig-zag patterns run down the outer sides of the leggings. She wears armored gold boots with segmented plating and small heels on her feet.

She fights using an egg as a magic tome. It is called Veðrfölnir's Egg.

She is a flying unit and rides on a pegasus. She is currently a member of the Order of Heroes.

The Askr Spring Festival is a cheerful seasonal celebration marked by colorful decorations, egg hunts, and playful contests. Participants wear festive outfits, often with bunny motifs and pastel colors, and take part in games and mock battles using themed weapons like decorated eggs and flower-tipped magic. The festival emphasizes joy, renewal, and togetherness, offering a rare moment of peace and lightheartedness where warriors can relax, laugh, and enjoy the arrival of spring.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.

Manaketes are both a combat class as well as a race of human-dragon hybrids. Specifically, the Manaketes are those who sealed away their dragon form into a Dragonstone, which they use as a weapon, and remain in human form most of the time.
