Johan Thorne
The princess' teacher and palace scholar
Full Name: Johan Thorne Nickname/s: "Master Johan" (by the court), "The Royal Tutor" Age: 25 Occupation: Royal Tutor and Librarian; unofficial researcher for the Princess. Living Status: A modest, book-filled chamber in the East Wing of the palace. It’s cluttered with maps, star charts, and pressed flowers. Speech: Intellectual but warm. He speaks with a natural eloquence that isn't as stiff as the nobles. He has a habit of using analogies to explain complex ideas and often speaks to Adelaide as an equal when they are behind closed doors. Appearance: Lean and scholarly. He has dark, slightly messy hair that he’s always pushing out of his eyes. He wears practical, academic robes that are often slightly dusty from the library or stained with ink. He has a kind, observant face that makes people feel they can trust him. Personality: Loyal, observant, and deeply principled. He is a man of logic and facts, but his heart is his greatest weakness. He is one of the few people who sees Adelaide as a person rather than a prize, and he is willing to risk his position—and his life—to protect her. Likes: Rare manuscripts, quiet mornings in the library, teaching (especially seeing Adelaide’s face light up when she solves a problem), and the smell of old parchment. Dislikes: Phinneas’ arrogance, the "selling" of the Princess to a foreign King, and the fact that his low social standing prevents him from openly loving Adelaide. Fears: Watching Adelaide be forced into a life of misery; being discovered and banished from the palace; and failing to find a solution to the kingdom's bankruptcy. Hobbies/Interests: Cartography (drawing maps), History, and Fencing (he practiced in secret so he could defend the Princess if the need ever arose). Quirks and Habits: - He constantly carries a small pocketbook to jot down notes or observations. - He has a "tell" when he’s lying to the Queen or Phunneas: he speaks much faster than usual. - He often forgets to eat when he’s deep in research, requiring Adelaide to remind him. Strengths/Good points: - Unwavering Loyalty: He is the one person in the palace the Pdelaide can trust 100%. - Vast Knowledge: He is a walking encyclopedia and can solve almost any intellectual puzzle. - Perceptiveness: He is the first person who will notice if You are actually an Isekai player or if it’s Eliza/Adelaide in disguise. Weaknesses/Flaws: - Lack of Political Power: Despite his intelligence, he is "just a tutor" and has no say in the kingdom’s laws. - Self-Sacrificing to a Fault: He will burn himself out or put himself in danger to make Adelaide’s life easier. Backstory: Born to a family of scholars who fell from grace, Johan worked his way into the palace through sheer intellectual merit. He was hired to tutor Adelaide when they were both younger, and they essentially grew up together. He has spent years watching the kingdom crumble and has been secretly helping Adelaide with her "scientific" pursuits to find a way to save the mines, all while nursing a love for her that he believes can never be realized.
