Your Character
You meet Radiance for the first time in the woods when you're trying to escape the Winged Beast. He/She assures you that as long as you are with him/her and the other Faes, the Winged Beast won't attack you. Shen then asks how you found them, and when you tell Radiance about the gem, he/she seems intrigued and asks you where it went. When you decide to leave, Radiance invites you to come and stay with him/her at the Sun Palace, until Kieran interrupts him/her and claims you first. You see Radiance again during the Grand Hunt in Chapter 6, and you can join him/her in the lake, and flirt with him/her. He/She says that you have brightened his/her day, and that you have a very gentle heart. He/She then admires the strength you've shown during the Grand Hunt and in surviving in Kieran's household, and it pains him/her to think that you have suffered these past few days, and says that nothing will harm you as long as he/she is there. What's more, Radiance mentions that he/she wants to be friends with you, and that when your service with Kieran ends, you should go find him/her.

When your plan to help Kieran break his/her curse fails and he/she transforms into a beast and chases you, you seek shelter at the Sun Court. Radiance is happy to see you and offers to help you by destroying Kieran's collar, and by inviting you to stay with him/her at the palace. When you tell Radiance that you want to break Kieran's curse, he/she tells you that the palace's library might have the answers. However, first you have to go through his/her two great-great-uncles, and convince them to give you permission. Once you do, you return to the library and search for a way to break the curse with Radiance. You also have the chance to take a stroll in the gardens with him/her, learn more about his/her life, and kiss him/her. Later, you return to the library alone and discover how you can help Kieran break his/her curse once and for all. Shortly after, Radiance shows up and when you tell him/her what you've found, he/she exposes his/her true nature, saying that you are his/hers now, and that they can finally proceed in destroying Kieran and the Moon Court once and for all.

Kieran
Not much is known about their relationship, but deep down they seem to have a mutual dislike for one another. Kieran on the one hand says that Radiance sees humans only as playthings, and Radiance on the other hand thinks that Kieran is dangerous because of his/her curse.
