5
6	* ReluctantRuler: Cardenia'' really'' doesn't want to be emperox. A big reason she backs Marce's research is that if the Interdependency ends, so does the position of emperox.
7	* SpareToTheThrone: No one expected Cardenia to become emperox. She was never groomed for the role. That was always supposed to be Rennered. After Rennered's death, Attavio VI declared Cardenia to be his heir instead of any number of more qualified cousins and nephews/nieces.

15	[[folder:Kiva Lagos]]
16	Lady Kiva Lagos is the daughter of Countess Huma Lagos.
17	* SharedFamilyQuirks: It's noted several times that she got her temper and foul language, as well as her business acumen, straight from her mother.
18	* SirSwearsalot: She can barely get through a single sentence without dropping "fuck" at least once, something she points out her (fucking) self. Apparently, she inherited that from her mother, as the Countess has known to drop a curse word or two. In fact, rumors claim that Kiva's first word was "fuck", and Kiva has no reason to doubt it.

22	[[folder:Nadashe Nohamapetan]]
23	Lady Nadashe Nohamapetan is the daughter of Countess Jedna Nohamapetan. She is the brains behind the plan to take control of End, using her brothers Amit and Ghreni to do the actual work. Originally meant to marry Rennered Wu, Rennered's death put a stop to that. Goes to prison for treason at the end of the first novel.

27	[[folder:Tomas XII / Tomas Reynauld Chenevert]]
28	Tomas Reynauld Chenevert, formerly King Tomas XII of Ponthieu, is the digitized copy of the mind of the real Chenevert, who died three centuries ago. Tomas's digital consciousness runs on the main computer of the starship ''Auvergne''.
29
30	* TheAtoner: He has subtle shades of this; when reflecting on his past self he makes it completely clear that he now believes he deserved to be deposed, comparing his memories of his past actions and motivations to how an adult might remember what it was like when they were five.
31	* LaResistance: At one point, the original Tomas XII ruled the planet Ponthieu in the Assembly. His people rose up and deposed him, forcing him to flee aboard the ''Auvergne''. The digital Tomas admits they probably had a good reason to revolt.
32	* SpaceshipGirl: Well, boy.
33	* VirtualGhost: The real Tomas Reynauld Chenevert died at some point after the creation of the digital Tomas 300 years ago. Unlike the virtual reconstructions of the dead emperoxs in the Memory Room, Tomas looks and sounds very much alive, even possessing the same bad sense of humor as the original.
