History Characters / WhoMadeMeAPrincess

* {{Bishounen}}: He is so handsome that you'll momentarily forget that it's the same guy ''who parents a 14-year old daughter.'' Even Athanasia thinks so.
--> '''Athanasia''': (Internally) You sure you're a man with a kid?

* {{Bishounen}}: Lucas is drawn as a beautiful and (occasionally) long-haired young boy, with Athanasia noting his good looks.

* {{Bishounen}}: He's a tall, good looking, and effeminate-looking young man who's the male lead of the original story for that reason.

* {{Bishounen}}: Adding to the roster of good-looking men in the universe of Who Made Me a Princess.

* OverprotectiveDad: Expressionless as he may seem, Claude doesn't like it if some ''pests'' are hovering around Athanasia. Just ask Ijekiel. [[spoiler:In the final book at the novel, he nearly attempted to murder Lucas because of how much he liked his daughter, but came to approve of him when Lucas decided to bring ''a baby dragon'' as a new pet for Athanasia]].

* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Ijekiel's Veronica. While Ijekiel gives off a more kind and princely atmosphere, Lucas displays a cold and manipulative personality that doesn't care about anyone except Athanasia.

* OocIsSeriousBusiness: Not Ijekiel himself, in the Webtoon version [[spoiler:Ijekiel was alarmed when he heard his father asking for a glass of rum, something that he has never done while working. This eventually prompts Ijekiel to discretely meet with Felix some time after Anastacius has revealed himself to be NotQuiteDead to the general public to discuss of the recent chain of events]].

* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Athanasia. Most of the time that they are seen together ends up them [[BelligerentSexualTension bickering, snarking and taunting one another]], even going as far as sending each other to someone else's house via teleportation.[[spoiler: The novel's ending stays ambiguous whether they will, but an extra story, which features Lucas jumping into alternate universes, confirms that TheyDo and are happily married with children in one timeline]].

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to Claude's Abel because he was envious of how much talented Claude was in magic and attempted to conceive Jennette artificially just to get back at him]].

* MeaningfulName: Royals are named for immortality or eternity. Athanasia is Greek for "immortal"

* MoneyFetish: Athanasia loves gold, jewels and money. It's due to both Lee Jihye being extremely poor and Athy hoarding jewels and gold in case she has to run away. Hilariously, one of the first spells she casts is summoning money.

* NotBloodSiblings: PlayedWith. Athanasia and Jennette are related to each other. [[spoiler:But Jennette is actually Claude's ''niece'', not his biological daughter through his ex-fiancee]].
* OhCrap: Athanasia was aware that mentioning Diana in front of Claude was a BigNo but can't stop herself from indirectly doing so, and she panics appropriately. The most notable OhCrap moment she has is when she takes a sip of the tea Claude is drinking and said the ''same exact words Diana used to describe the tea''. It even adds FuelToTheFire that the ''same tea'' is Diana's favourite.

* TimeMaster: Athy's true magic power is related to [[spoiler: time. In particular, she can rewind time on a person. Lucas suspects that this may be how she transmigrated.]]

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Ijekiel fell for Athanasia but she didn't exactly reciprocate his love, believing that she isn't the right person for him. [[spoiler:Later, he felt that he didn't deserve her because of what his father had done... but fortunately for him, in the extras in the final book, Athanasia is implied to have reciprocate his love in one AlternateUniverse]].

* RedBaron: The Red Blood Knight, to which Athanasia gave it a PunnyName "The Red Blood Cell".

!!The Princess of the Obelia Empire

* BecomingTheMask: Originally planning to act as a DaddysGirl to survive, she ends up genuinely caring for Claude as a father and becomes a full-fledged DaddysGirl in time.

* WellDoneSonGuy: What the original Athanasia felt to Claude, who only looked at Jennette.

!!The Emperor of the Obelia Empire

Claude is the current Emperor of the Obelia Empire and Athanasia's father. He is introduced as the one who killed the original Athanasia by his own hands. In the new timeline, the reincarnated Athanasia attempts to prevent this fate by forming a warmer relationship with him from the get-go.

* ParentsAsPeople: Claude was too grief-stricken by Diana's death to properly care for Athanasia and neglected her for the first 5 years (9 in the original "Lovely Princess" novel) of her life; even in the current universe, he spent his time mourning for her instead of celebrating Athanasia's birthday.
--> '''Athanasia''': ''It's not that I'm "sad because daddy didn't make it."''
-->''It's just... It makes Claude feel like a normal person.''

* ReplacementGoldfish: This is what Athanasia thought Diana's relationship to Claude was like after seeing Penelope's broken portrait on his room. [[spoiler: It's actually not true, as Claude only kept Penelope's portrait as a reminder of what Penelope did to him (as the portrait itself had its frames broken off). Although she's his SecondLove, Claude's actions after Diana's death are proof of how much he treasures her. ]]
* SecondLove: Although few hints about Claude and Diana's relationship are revealed, [[spoiler:it's made clear he truly loved her. Sure, he acts like a {{Jerkass}} during her pregnancy to Athanasia but as revealed later in the story, the only reason he neglected Athanasia and tried to erase his memories of her late mother is because he blamed her for Diana's death, which he couldn't accept. Before her death, he tried to convince her in desperation to pick him and not the child, knowing that she will die if she continues her pregnancy, but Diana chooses the latter]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: With Anastacius, his older brother. They can even be mistaken for being twins.

* UnwittingPawn: Especially in the webtoons which play up her sweet, kind and naive nature which is taken advantage of by multiple plotters.

!!The Knight of Princess Athanasia
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/744132fcfdd71d38cc02ebbd412899b9.jpg]]
Claude's most trusted ally and Athanasia's knight who have a reputation of being entitled as the "Red Blood Knight".

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/da21a9d21768891c25686128c0e1ef41_8.jpg]]

The son of Duke Alpheus and the male lead in the original novel, "The Lovely Princess".

* TheAce: Smart, handsome and skilled with swordmanship. He's also one other person who can match Athanasia in intellect and studies.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Ijekiel fell for Athanasia but she didn't exactly reciprocate his love, believing that she isn't the right person for him. [[spoiler:Later, he felt that he didn't deserve her because of what his father had done... but fortunately for him, in the extras in the final book, Athanasia is implied to have reciprocate his love in one AlternateUniverse]].
** It was even pointed out by none other than Jennette in a very offending way in the Webnovel, [[spoiler: she told him that he would never, ever be with Athanasia since she has Lucas by her side. Even going as far as telling him they were on the same boat; Ijekiel was none too pleased with her statement.]]
* {{Bishounen}}: He's a tall, good looking, and effeminate-looking young man who's the male lead of the original story for that reason.
* CoolBigBro: Is genuinely kind and patient to Jennette like a brother would be.
* ForWantOfANail: Because Athanasia met him very early before he left for Arlanta, Ijekiel never came to love Jennette and fell for her instead.
* LoveInterest: In the original "The Lovely Princess" novel, he is the love interest of Jennette. In the current universe, while it's implied that Jennette does see him in a romantic light, his romantic interest is shifted to Athanasia due to ForWantOfANail effects in play.
* OocIsSeriousBusiness: Not Ijekiel himself, in the Webtoon version [[spoiler:Ijekiel was alarmed when he heard his father asking for a glass of rum, something that he has never done while working. This eventually prompts Ijekiel to discretely meet with Felix some time after Anastacius has revealed himself to be NotQuiteDead to the general public to discuss of the recent chain of events]].

!!Former Emperor of the Obelia Empire
[[quoteright:215:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2019_07_20_15_29_11.png]]

Anastacius is the former Emperor of the Obelia Empire who was killed by Claude after he attempted to kill him. He is only shown in flashbacks.
----
* AscendedExtra: In the webtoon, he plays a much bigger role in the scheme of things than he did in the original novel.
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Just mentioning his name brings enough fear from the other characters. Ijekiel's father is horrified to know about who Jennette's father actually was late in the novel.]].
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to Claude's Abel because he was envious of how much talented Claude was in magic and attempted to conceive Jennette artificially just to get back at him]].
* DemonicPossession: In the webtoon, it's implied that [[spoiler:Aethernitas, his and Claude's ancestor, had been possessing him and influence some of his decisions, even before his death]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In the webtoon at least, at one point [[spoiler:the disguised Anastacius decides to brainwash Jennette with a hexed present so she'll be easier to control, despite the damage this would do to her soul. He balks and removes the enchantment at the last second; evidently even he's not evil enough to hex his own innocent daughter whose only wish is for a loving family.]]
* OnlyMostlyDead: It's later revealed in the webtoon that [[spoiler:Anastacius is barely hanging on a thread when Aethernitas brought him back to life, and since his body is slowly failing and succumbing to death's door as his wounds reopened, Aethernitas began to consider pulling a DemonicPossession to Jenette]].
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks just like Claude with messier hair.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: [[spoiler: With his hair color disguised, he falls into this.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In the webtoon, a flashback shows that [[spoiler:he used to be friendly and get along with Claude when they were children until he changed due to an unspecified event and their relationship turned to that of CainAndAbel]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Yes, it's hard to discuss him without going into [[spoiler:his relationship with Claude and Penelope and his role in Jennette's birth]].

[[folder: Penelope Judith]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2019_07_20_15_27_37.png]]

* FirstLove: She serves this to Claude [[spoiler:until she decided to screw it and committed an affair with his brother]].
* MissingMom: To Jennette, she died before the story begun.
* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about Penelope's history would include [[spoiler: Jennette's true heritage and her past with Anastacius and Claude]].

[[folder: Diana]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_20210531_004116.jpg]]

----
Diana is Claude's unofficial consort and Athanasia's MissingMom who died early before the story kicks in. She's a dancer from Siodonna that is brought in the palace to entertain Claude. She appeared mostly on Athanasia's dreams.
----

* MissingMom: She died after giving birth to Athanasia. Averted in another timeline, [[spoiler: when Lucas jumps through other universes. He encounters Claude desperately begging Diana not to pick Athanasia, and he resorts to eating Athanasia's magic while still in Diana's womb. The extra implied that Diana lived in that universe]]

An ancestor of Claude, Anastacius, and Athanasia.

* SacrificialLamb: The original Athanasia was killed by her own father without even doing anything wrong, falsely accused of poisoning and for ''what''? According to a ''Lovely Princess'' fan, it's to demonstrate how much Claude cares about Jennette in the story. Even the reincarnated Athanasia thinks it's too cruel to kill her for such a poor reason.

* GenerationXerox: Depending on the situtaion, Athanasia looks like exactly like her mother and father. She also takes after her father in magical ability, intellect, and occasionally temperament.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Claude's original fate. [[spoiler: He ends up cursed and killed by black magic due to spending too much time with Jeannette. The whole thing was a plot by Anasticus who retakes the throne.]]

* {{Nerf}}: Downplayed. While his webtoon counterpart is still just as powerful as his main webnovel counterpart, circumstances in the webtoon prevented him from fully utilizing his knowledge and power so as to not seem like he can solve the issues right away. This is lampdshaded in chapter 90 that while Lucas may be able to solve things, Athanasia refuses to have him solve all the problems [[RealityEnsues because of the political ramifications some of his actions could cause]].

* ModestRoyalty: Claude dresses in simple Roman-style robes, lives in a rather austere castle and has very few servants because he does everything himself. He spends more money and effort spoiling Athanasia.

[[caption-width-right:350:Athanasia's beautiful mother]]

%%* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he does something out of his usual self, it really bothers Athanasia.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She pretended to love Claude, only to cheat on him with his brother. She also conspires to use Jennette to become more powerful and frames Athanasia for poisoning Jennette to get her out of the way.

* DemonicPossession: In the webtoon, it's implied that [[spoiler:Aethernitas, his and Claude's ancestor, had been possessing him and influence some of his decisions]].

* DemonicPossession: In the webtoon, it's revealed that he is possessing Anastacius's dead body with black magic and brought him back. While Anastacius still had full control throughout most of Season 2, at the beginning of Season 3, he gained full control of Anastacius's body. But because Anastacius's body is weak since he's actually OnlyMostlyDead, Anastacius eventually plans to possess ''Jenette''.

** It was even pointed out by none other than Jennette in a very offending way, [[spoiler: she told him that he would never, ever be with Athanasia since she has Lucas by her side. Even going as far as telling him they were on the same boat; Ijekiel was none too pleased with her statement.]]

* OnlyMostlyDead: It's later revealed in the webtoon that [[spoiler:Anastacius is barely hanging on a thread when Aethernitas brought him back to life, and since his body is slowly failing and succumbing to death's door as his wounds reopened, Aethernitas began to consider BodySurfing to Jenette's body]].

[[folder:'''(spoiler warning)''']]

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Not that he's ugly, but he turns out to be one for [[spoiler:Lucas]]. In fact, most of his motivations lie in [[spoiler:getting Lucas to admit that Aethernitas ''can'' be an amazing king]].
* BigBad: In both the webnovel and Webtoon, [[spoiler:he's behind the strings of incidents that led to the bad luck befalling on Athanasia and Claude, taking advantage of Jenette's birth to his favor]].
* DemonicPossession: In the webtoon, [[spoiler:it's revealed that he is possessing Anastacius's dead body with black magic and brought him back. While Anastacius still had full control throughout most of Season 2, at the beginning of Season 3, he gained full control of Anastacius's body]].

* WalkingSpoiler: Even ''more'' than Jenette, Penelope, and Anastacius! It's difficult to speak of him without foreknowledge of the webnovel version of him to explain what his motive ultimately was and his influence and involvement in the plot of both the webnovel and webtoon.

** [[spoiler:TheReveal of the AwfulTruth broke her beliefs into smithereens]].
** In the webtoon, this happens [[spoiler:after Anastacius reveals himself to seemingly be alive to everyone else and her initial belief of wanting to be loved with a family with Claude and Athanasia is broken to pieces]].

* {{Nerf}}: Downplayed. While his webtoon counterpart is still just as powerful as his main webnovel counterpart, circumstances in the webtoon prevented him from fully utilizing his knowledge and power so as to not seem like he can solve the issues right away.

* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler:Jennette is not Claude's daughter conceived through his fiancee, her mother. She was conceived by Claude's brother, Anastacius. Jennette doesn't take the news well, since she pins so much of her happiness on being Claude's daughter]].
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:TheReveal of the AwfulTruth broke her beliefs into smithereens]].
