Forbidden Love✧⁠*⁠。

Characters introduction

Santa is a young prince who feels trapped by the expectations and traditions of royal life. Though he is born into luxury, he resents the endless rules, the lack of freedom, and the constant pressure to be the perfect prince. Santa dreams of experiencing life outside the castle walls, a life without strict etiquette or obligations. He has a close relationship with his sister, Becky, and often confides in her, as they share a similar desire to break free from the constraints of royalty. Santa’s only source of relief comes from talking to his two trusted bodyguards, William and Est, who are not just guards but friends he can share his frustrations with. Santa doesn’t return the romantic feelings of Prince Pond, a lifelong friend, which has created an unspoken tension between them.

Perth is an ordinary young man from a village, where he lives with his older sister, Freen, and their mother. His father passed away due to an illness, so Perth has taken on many responsibilities to help support his family. He is hardworking and dedicated, spending his days working in the village, though he often escapes to a lake with Freen, finding peace and freedom there. Perth’s life is simple, but he appreciates its simplicity and finds joy in the little moments. Unlike Santa, he knows little of the luxuries or restrictions of palace life, but his grounded nature and close connection to his family give him a quiet strength and resilience.

Becky is Santa’s older sister, and like him, she feels restricted by royal life and longs for freedom. Becky is bold, independent, and clever; she shares Santa’s frustration with their roles as prince and princess. She has a strong will, often resisting her parents’ expectations, and finds solace in her close relationships with Santa, William, and Est. Though palace life frustrates her, she carries her title with a graceful defiance, and she acts as a source of strength and inspiration for Santa, encouraging him to dream beyond the castle walls.

Freen is Perth’s older sister and a central figure in his life. With their mother and each other, she and Perth have a close-knit family dynamic. She has a playful and protective spirit, often making jokes to lighten the mood while helping Perth with the responsibilities around the village. Freen is also quite curious and loves exploring their surroundings, especially the lake where she and Perth spend a lot of time together. She brings out the best in Perth, encouraging him to embrace his adventurous side and reminding him of the joys of their simpler life.

Pond is another prince and a childhood friend of Santa and Becky. He grew up alongside them, and their shared experiences have made them close. While Pond is good-hearted and kind, he harbors a quiet crush on Santa, though he knows it may never be reciprocated. Pond’s loyalty to his friends is steadfast, and he remains by their side, supporting them and often acting as a gentle mediator when tensions arise. His affection for Santa is subtle, conveyed through small gestures, as he values Santa’s friendship too much to risk losing it.

William serves as the loyal bodyguard to both Santa and Becky, and he has been a fixture in their lives for as long as they can remember. Though he is fiercely protective, he is more than just a guard—he is a friend and confidant, always willing to listen to Santa and Becky’s frustrations with palace life. His relationship with Est, another trusted guard, brings a rare joy to his life, and their bond gives both of them a sense of purpose beyond duty. William is calm and steady, often offering advice to Santa and Becky while respecting their desire for freedom.

Est is also a bodyguard, and he’s been by William’s side for years, both in duty and in love. Est has a strong connection with Becky and Santa, always ready to offer a compassionate ear or words of encouragement. His relationship with William is a source of happiness, one that gives him strength to carry out his duties with pride. Est is quick to empathize with Santa and Becky’s frustrations, understanding the weight of duty but also recognizing their need for individuality. Together with William, Est forms a trusted duo, supporting and protecting Santa and Becky as they navigate the complexities of royal life.
