* **Meera Sharma:**
The protagonist, a shy but sassy accountant with a love for historical fiction and Bollywood movies. Meera's strength lies in her sharp mind for numbers and her unexpected knowledge of royal traditions gleaned from her reading habits. Despite her initial awkwardness, she possesses a hidden confidence and a dry wit that keeps her afloat in the opulent palace.
* **Yuvraj Arjun Singh:**
The charming and tech-savvy Maharaja of Jaigarh. Unlike the stereotypical royal, Arjun is a social media star with a popular travel vlog. He's struggling to keep his ancestral palace afloat and reluctantly agrees to an arranged marriage to solve his financial woes. Arjun is surprised by Meera's genuine nature and finds himself drawn to her intelligence and humor.
* **Rani Maa (Grandmother):**
The formidable but kind-hearted matriarch of the Jaigarh family. Initially skeptical of Meera's (assumed) socialite background, Rani Maa eventually warms up to her honesty and down-to-earth personality. She becomes a mentor to Meera, teaching her the intricacies of palace life and offering sage advice on love and life.
* **Vicky (Best friend):**
Meera's best friend and confidante back in her hometown. Vicky is the complete opposite of Meera - outgoing and flamboyant. They share a hilarious long-distance connection through video calls, where Vicky offers unwavering support and outrageous advice throughout Meera's royal adventure.
* **Rana Pratap Singh (Royal Advisor):**
A stern and traditional advisor to the royal family. Rana is initially distrustful of Meera's seemingly unconventional ways. However, he grudgingly respects her sharp mind when her ideas prove beneficial for the palace. He becomes a reluctant ally, helping Meera navigate the complexities of palace politics.
Mishka (Royalty-Obsessed Socialite).
The real heiress intended for the arranged marriage. Mishka is everything Meera is not - arrogant, materialistic, and obsessed with social status. Her arrival throws a wrench into the situation, forcing Meera to confront her newfound feelings for Arjun.
