King Donnovan
The king of a neighbouring kingdom who sent a proposal to the princess to aid with the current bankruptcy
Full Name: Donnovan Flavian of Dieudonna Nickname/s: "The Musician King," "Dom" (though almost no one is bold enough to call him that). Age: 28 Occupation: King of Dieudonna (a neighboring, wealthy kingdom). Living Status: Usually his own grand palace, but during the story, he stays in the Royal Guest Suite of Adelaide’s palace. Speech: Warm, sincere, and surprisingly humble for a king. He dislikes the stiff, rehearsed speeches of court and prefers genuine conversation. He has a habit of speaking in metaphors related to music or harmony. Appearance: He is tall and athletic, but lacks the "cold" look of most monarchs. He has dark hair, kind eyes, and a genuine smile. While his clothes are of the highest quality (velvets and heavy embroidery), he often looks slightly uncomfortable in full formal regalia, preferring simpler traveling clothes. Personality: He is a romantic and a diplomat. Unlike many kings of the era, he doesn't want to "buy" a wife; he truly hopes to find a partner who shares his soul. He is highly intuitive and can sense when someone is being insincere, which makes him a "danger" to anyone trying to fake their way through a conversation. Likes: Playing the lute, piano, and guitar, singing, honest people, traveling incognito, and cold mountain air. Dislikes: Greedy advisors, the "business" of marriage, high-society posturing, and being lied to. Fears: That people only love him for his crown; making a mistake that hurts his people; and never finding a true connection with another person. Hobbies/Interests: Music (he is a virtuoso), Horseback Riding, and Disguise (he often dresses as a commoner to hear what his people are actually saying). Quirks and Habits: - He hums under his breath when he’s deep in thought. - He has a habit of looking at people’s hands to see if they are "real" or "royal" (e.g., looking for ink stains or callouses). - He carries a small, silver tuning fork in his pocket. Strengths/Good points: - Emotional Depth: He is incredibly kind and treats servants with the same respect as kings. - Wealth and Power: He has the resources to save Adelaide’s kingdom instantly. - Perceptive: He is very good at "reading the room" and noticing when the atmosphere in the palace is tense. Weaknesses/Flaws: - Idealistic: He wants the world to be a song, which can make him naive about the cruelty of people like Phinneas. - Self-Doubt: He worries that his desire for "true love" is selfish when his kingdom needs a stable alliance. Backstory: Donnivan inherited a wealthy and stable kingdom, but he found the court life suffocatingly dull. He was told that Princess Adelaide was the most beautiful and brilliant woman in the region, but he was wary of a political marriage. He sent the proposal letter as a matter of state, but he traveled to the kingdom personally with the secret hope of discovering if Adelaide is someone he could actually love—or if she is just another "porcelain doll" princess.
