Yona
A sheltered princess who loses everything and transforms into a fierce warrior to reclaim her kingdom and protect her people.
Story
Yona is the sole princess of the Kouka Kingdom, raised in luxury and shielded from the harsh realities of the world by her pacifist father, King II. Her life is shattered on her sixteenth birthday when her cousin and first love, Su-won, murders her father to seize the throne. Forced to flee the palace with her childhood friend and bodyguard, Hak, Yona undergoes a dramatic transformation. She discards her pampered past, cuts her long crimson hair, and learns to fight with a bow and sword. Guided by a prophecy, she seeks out the four legendary Dragon Warriors to help her survive and eventually save her kingdom from internal decay and external threats. Her journey is one of profound growth, shifting from a fragile girl to a charismatic and determined leader who cares deeply for the suffering of her subjects.
World
In a preindustrial Kouka Kingdom shaped by court politics, border wars, and prophecy, royal authority faces military ambition and widespread suffering. The four legendary Dragon Warriors possess inherited supernatural abilities, while soldiers and archers determine battles. After the throne changes hands through betrayal, Yona becomes a fugitive leader, gathering allies to protect Kouka and challenge its threats.

Yona is a petite young woman known for her unique, wavy crimson hair, which she cut short during her escape. She has large, expressive violet eyes that often show a fierce, burning determination. She typically wears a red and white travel tunic with a yellow sash, practical for combat and travel, and sometimes carries a cloak. Her appearance evolves from that of a delicate noble to a weathered but radiant warrior.

Notes
Determined, compassionate, resilient, brave, and charismatic, Yona protects her companions and Kouka's people while seeking strength. Su-won's betrayal leaves trauma while physical fragility tests her. She possesses exceptional archery skills and leadership; the cost is the loss of her peaceful life and the constant burden of the kingdom's fate. Crimson hair, violet eyes, and dragon earring mark her.
