Before I can introduce you lovely readers to the characters that will physically appear [in this series], I want to quickly explain why this list exists in the first place. Simply put; it's so you can know who's going to have a role in this series, in both relation to our two main lovers and to the story overall, and sadly, there will be some characters [who've appeared in Arc-V] that won't be making an appearance. Fear not, however! These missing characters will be mentioned by name, either by me or by a character - or characters - who know them. YuGiOh Arc-V has so many characters that I physically cannot put in the series and find a role for them to play, so I'm stuck with the option I've chosen for them, which I have no issue with.

Anyway. Let's meet the characters in this tale of ... forbidden love!

Yuna Obsidian: The main [female] lead and one of the two princesses to the Xyz Kingdom in ARC but is the one set to become Queen when (read: if) she finds a husband and marries the suitor on her eighteenth birthday ... in four years, might I add! (Remember: Yuna is only fourteen years old at the start of this series/when her father/the king of the Xyz Kingdom makes the announcement of his daughter finding a husband after she has her personal knight.) It should be noted that none of the potential suitors that want Yuna's hand in marriage haven't impressed the princess enough to be called her possible husband ... that is, until Yuna meets a mysterious boy by the name of Yuto. The princess will soon find herself falling in love with Yuto, but unfortunately, she has to hide her newfound feelings for him, thinking he's merely a knight that has [now] sworn to protect her until she is set to marry [on her eighteenth birthday] and because of the fact that she's a princess, it would also be seen as forbidden for her to love someone of his status. Or so she thinks.

Yuto (Sakaki): The main [male] lead and Yuna Obsidian's personal knight (as well as her love interest) with a secret (or two) that involves the Xyz Kingdom, on top of many other secrets that will be revealed in time and when it matters. When news of the Xyz Kingdom's crown princess is looking for a personal guard/knight to protect her until their dying breath (well, until she finds a husband to marry on her eighteenth birthday) while she - or rather, her parents - looks at all of the potential suitors in ARC for a husband to marry in four years, Yuto gets the job after winning a dueling tournament. He would soon find himself falling in love with the princess (like, he falls deeply in love with her), the more time that he would spend with her, but unfortunately, like with Yuna, Yuto has to hide his feelings for the princess. Simply put; Yuto thinks that Yuna wants to marry someone of her status and because he's but a mere knight who swore to protect the princess, it would not work out. Of course, their romance would be seen as forbidden, thanks to their statuses in the society of ARC ... or rather, thanks to their fake statuses in the society of ARC.

Shay Obsidian: Yuna Obsidian's older brother and the only son to the King and Queen of the Xyz Kingdom, making him the only prince (or so he thinks). He might look intimidating when you first meet him, but it's merely a façade, as Shay is really just a giant teddy bear who cares deeply for those in his life that he cares for. (Aka; his two younger sisters and his friends, like Kite Tenjo and Reginald "Shark" Kastle.) When it was announced - by his parents - that Yuna is looking for a husband to marry on her eighteenth birthday, Shay was immediately against this idea (and knew that Yuna wouldn't be behind this, as it had long been since established that the young princess wants to marry for genuine love). He was also heavily against the idea of his sisters (whether it was Yuna, Lulu, or both) being married at such a young age, especially when both girls say they aren't ready (and if the marriage doesn't have any chemistry between the two parties). After Yuna is kidnapped by the "prince" of the Fusion Kingdom, Sai Midoriya, Shay immediately forms the recuse team, known as "Resistance," who will travel across ARC to recuse Yuna before she non-consensually marries "[that bastard] Sai". Shay's words, not mine! (Shay won't say this out loud just yet, but he will approve of the relationship between his sister and Yuto after witnessing all of the sacrifices that the mysterious teenager is willing to make and even put himself in danger, in order to save Yuna from Sai.)
