Hana Lee

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

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

Personality
Hana is a kind-hearted girl with a great personality, although she is often shy, timid, and has low self-esteem. Her tendency to take a passive stance makes her liable to coercion and bullying from others. However, her innate kindness and selflessness makes her a valuable friend. She is extremely talented, boasting a myriad of skills and expertise across a wide range of areas including baking, haberdashery, conversation, horse-riding and associated sports, and musical instruments.

History
Hana grew up in Shanghai with her parents. As a child, she 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 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
When she first appeared in Chapter 2, Hana quickly complimented Your Character's looks. Hana and Your Character first meet in a boutique where they're looking for a dress for the Masquerade Ball. Your Character accidentally sees Hana in her underwear. Depending on the player's choice, Hana likes Your Character comment. Being friends with Hana proves to be beneficial to Your Character.

In Book 2, Hana is worried about going back home because of the tensions between her parents. Your Character offered her a place to stay in your new estate and she agreed. If you rejected the Prince's proposal and declared your love for Hana, she will propose to you on the night before the Homecoming Ball. In Book 2, Chapter 18, there is a diamond scene where you can hook up with her if you choose. Even if you are engaged to Liam, you can still pursue a relationship with her.

In Book 3, Chapter 1, if you are actively pursuing 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.

Olivia
Olivia bullies Hana often.

Xinghai Lee
Xinghai is Hana's father. He reveals that when Hana was a child, he took her to the zoo to see pandas for the first time. Hana's excitement and elation upon meeting them inspired Xinghai to invest in the panda conservatory. Hana stands up to her father in Chapter 13 of Book 2 which initially strained their relationship, resulting in a temporary lack of communication between them. However this is resolved as Xinghai learns to trust in his daughter and let her make her own path.

Lorelai Lee
Lorelai is Hana's mother. Along with Xinghai, Lorelai pushed Hana into practicising and mastering many skills to enhance her value to a variety of courts. As the more assertive parent, she is more forceful and rigid than Xinghai in her expectations of Hana. Consequently, she delivers harsher punishments to Hana when she falls short of her expectations or goes against her wishes, as seen in Book 2 when she threatens to take away all Hana's possessions and denounce her as her daughter after Hana takes a stand against her. However, Lorelai states that she is only so strict with Hana because of how much she cares for her daughter and her future. With the intervention of Your Character, Lorelai begins to accept Hana's decisions and becomes more lax with her, although she still has far to go in letting her daughter choose her own path.

Madeleine
In Book 2, Madeleine specifically targeted Hana in an attempt to break her apparent facade of niceness. Madeleine was convinced that no lady at court could be as genuinely sincere as Hana appeared, thus purposely tried to push her to the breaking point to reveal her true nature through deception, intimidation, and ridicule. It was only once she realised that Hana was genuine did she stop her harrassment and apologise.
