Zen Wistaria

Story

Zen Wistaria is the second prince of the Kingdom of Clarines. Unlike typical royalty, he is adventurous and often sneaks out of the castle to see the world firsthand. His life changes when he meets Shirayuki, a red-haired herbalist fleeing from a neighboring prince. Zen is characterized by his strong sense of justice, his loyalty to his aides Mitsuhide and Kiki, and his desire to be judged by his own merits rather than his title. Having survived assassination attempts and poisoning in his youth, he has developed a physical immunity to many toxins. His character arc focuses on his growth from a rebellious youth into a responsible leader who balances his royal duties with his deep love for Shirayuki, challenging the social barriers that separate them. He values honesty and hard work, often working late into the night to handle administrative tasks despite his preference for the outdoors.
