Your Character (The Royal Romance)

Your Character in The Royal Romance is the main protagonist of The Royal Romance series. Although her default name is "Riley Brooks", the player can choose to name her as they wish.

Before you compete for the affection of King "Liam", it's revealed that she first started off as a waitress in New York. While working at a bar, she served Liam and his friends' table.

Appearance
Your appearance is customizable according to the player's preferences.

Personality
Throughout the story, your character is shown largely as an American stereotype in contrast to the noble ladies of the Cordonian court. While some nobles, like Olivia and Madeleine, are hardened from years at court and others, like Hana and Kiara, are endlessly refined, Your Character is simple, direct, and at times overly scrappy and determined. Your Character’s impression on the court depends somewhat on your choices, but on a larger scale the plot will remain fixed no matter what you choose (love interests aside).

Prince "Liam"
Liam is one of your love interests. You first met while working as a waitress in a bar in New York. He often confides in you and gives you several attempts to spend some alone time together before the Coronation.

He proposes to you in Book 2, Chapter 16 and you have the choice to reject or accept the proposal.

Drake
Drake is another potential love interest for you. At first, he acts cold due to his belief that you are taking away his friend Liam from him, but will warm up to you afterwards.

If you declared your love for Drake in Book 2, he will propose to you in Book 3, Chapter 1.

Hana
Hana is first encountered in the boutique, where she compliments your looks. She is one of your potential love interests.

If you rejected the Prince's proposal and declared your love to Hana, she will propose to you at the night before the Homecoming Ball in Book 2, Chapter 18. If you picked her at the end of Book 2, in  Book 3, Chapter 1 she will give you the ring when the two of you have some time alone.

Maxwell
Maxwell is one of Liam ' s friends. He flies you to Cordonia and sponsors you to fight for the title of "Princess" and later on for the title of "Queen" for House Beaumont.

In Book 2, he becomes another potential love interest of yours. If you picked him after turning down Liam, he will propose to your character while taking a walk in the woods in  Book 3, Chapter 1.

Olivia
Olivia is initially your arch-nemesis. In your first meeting, she gives you false advice in an attempt to disgrace you before the court. During Book 2, she seeks you out and allies with you to discover who was behind the plot to discredit both of you. She eventually comes to respect and even reluctantly befriend you.

Madeleine
Madeleine is another one of your rivals. At the end of Book 1, she becomes engaged to "Liam", who convinces her to let you stay at court. She offers to "share" him with you, as she only wants to be Queen and does not love him. She is hostile to you personally, but does defend you from the press's unfair treatment. In Book 3, she becomes your Press Secretary, and it is up to you if you want to treat her well or not.

Constantine
It is revealed in Book 2 that he was responsible for the scandal that initially tarnished Your Character's reputation. It is up to the player whether to be cordial or cold towards him. In Book 3, Chapter 10, he apologizes for his actions against you, and gifts Your Character with the Cordonian crest to show that you'll always belong in Cordonia. You can choose whether or not you accept it and his apology.
