Hana Lee

Hana, a character in The Royal Romance and The Royal Heir series, is one of the suitors to Prince "Liam" and also a potential love interest for your character. She is first seen in The Royal Romance, Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Hana has long brown hair, dark brown eyes and tanned skin. Usually, she wears a pink dress.

Personality
"Well-behaved. Classically trained. Perfect at every skill that my mother said would one day win me love. Funny, but I don't think I ever realized then that it was *her* love I was actually trying to win. And now... I can't turn it off. I still feel like I need to be the perfect lady in every situation."

- Hana about herself (TRH1 Ch.9)

Hana is a kind-hearted girl and has a great personality, although she is often shy, timid and has low self-esteem.

History
Because her parents didn't have any sons, they pinned all their hopes on her. As a child, Hana was pushed into doing many things by her family. She says that most of them she didn't enjoy, but that playing piano was a passion of hers. However, her parents also pushed her too much to perform for large crowds and, furious, she intentionally botched a performance at a ball. Despite their harsh expectations and the rigorous preparation they put her through, Hana's parents also care for her safety and wellbeing. Hana reveals that once during a dressage competition, she broke her arm after falling from her horse and was consequently rushed to hospital. There her parents remained in her company and treated her with icecream, rather than scolding her for losing the competition. She was also not allowed to have toys when she was a child, a tea-set being the only exception as it would train her to be a proper hostess. Because of this, she imagined friends such as Miss Napkin, Miss Doily, Princess Snickerdoodle, Prince Snickerdoodle (who was caught dancing with Miss Lemon Curd at the Bakery Ball), and Mr. Sock. She also had sleepovers with Miss Broomstick and Lady Pillowcase.

She was previously engaged to an English nobleman, named Peter. She had accepted his proposal because she felt she needed to, but when he realized she didn't love him, he ended their engagement. Although it was handled quietly, it became a scandal for her because he married someone else shortly after. It is one of the reasons her parents threw her into the competition so aggressively. When visiting Paris, Hana tells Your Character about how she used to read some of her favorite books there and how she left messages in the pages of books for the next reader.

Your Character
You first meet Hana in Chapter 2 at the boutique where you are looking for a dress for the Masquerade Ball. You walk in and accidentally see Hana in her underwear. Depending on your reaction, you can gain relationship or romance points with her.

In Book 2, Hana is worried about going back home because of the tensions between her and her parents. However, at "Liam"'s insisting, Madeleine invites Hana to become a part of her court, which Hana accepts. During Book 2, you can continue romancing Hana while she helps you investigate the conspiracy against you. If you reject "Liam"'s proposal and declare your love for Hana, she will propose to you on the night before the Homecoming Ball. In Book 2, Chapter 18, you can choose to become intimate with her for the first time even if you are engaged to someone else.

In Book 3, Chapter 1, if you chose Hana, she will give you a ring and you will announce to the rest of the group that you are getting married, an event the Cordonian people can get behind. If you chose a different fiance, you will have the opportunity to become intimate with her (again) at your bachelorette party in Las Vegas.

In The Royal Heir, Book 1 Chapter 9's premium scene, Hana tells Isabella (and Olivia if she was invited) that she has always been envious of you and your confidence.

Olivia Nevrakis
Olivia bullies Hana often. But after You help her overcoming her low self-esteem, she can finally talk back in  Chapter 18 of Book 1. As the story goes, their relationship has improved to be much better.

Xinghai Lee
Xinghai is Hana's father. Hana stands up to her father in Chapter 13 of Book 2 which throws off their relationship. She is unsure of how things will work out with her parents and Your Character (especially if Your Character pursues a romantic relationship).

Lorelai Lee
Lorelai is Hana's mother. It is implied that they don't share a good relationship with each other.

Madeleine
During King "Liam" and Madeleine's engagement, Madeleine makes her a part of her court (either partially or in whole as a favor to Liam). Madeleine tries to break her because Madeleine thinks her nice personality is fake, thus Madeleine wants to prove it by faking her chocolate allergy when she intends to host a chocolate fondue party as a gift for Madeleine's bachelorette party in  Chapter 7, Book 2. Toward the last half of Book 3, Madeleine starts to feel guilty over her past mistake to her and if she is not your LI, Madeleine appears to be interested in her. In Chapter 16, with liquid courage, Madeleine asks her to dance with her at the club in Las Vegas. In Chapter 22, Madeleine remorsefully apologizes and although she knows that she has a long way to go to make amends, Madeleine tells her that she can make anyone who gives her trouble at court regret it.
