Nevan Romanlung

Nevan Romanlung (ネヴァン・ローマルング, nevan rōmarungu) is the daughter and successor of Duke Romanlung. Nevan is also the upperclassman of Lugh Tuatha Dé by one year in the Imperial Knight Academy reigning as the indisputable top student of her year, and currently works with Lugh and his party to slay the demon race. Despite not being a direct descendant of House Romanlung, she is able to use its' name by being the best of her generation. Additionally, she is the only known light magic user of her country, granting her the title of 'Shining Princess' & considered 'The greatest treasure of the Alvanian Kingdom'.

Appearance
Nevan is a young woman with hair that is ever-changing and divine golden eyes. Sometimes she has gorgeous golden hair while other times she has silky purple hair. Her appearance is considered paragon among the human race due to her privileged and well-crafted lineage of her predecessors whom only bred with the most beautiful and gifted of individuals. She occasionally dons the image and is commonly mistaken for Princess Farina possibly being her twin sister.

Personality
Nevan's personality is hard to pinpoint even for Lugh, as she has multiple sides to her when dealing with different people. At times, she could be like a little girl who greatly enjoys rare commodity like chocolate while other times, she could say things which surprises even Lugh. Her favourite past time is playing the piano which gives off a beautiful and sophisticated melody to listeners.

She's shown to be very cunning and calculative, with the ability to formulate strategises on par with that of Lugh's. When interacting with Lugh, she likes to be teasing and flirtatious, which leads to the group often ignoring her. Thus, she tends to pout to attract his attention, showing a side of her innocence, although it is also likely to be feigned. Due to her upbringing, she learned that men found more pleasure in innocent gestures than flawless behaviour but because it was perfect, Lugh knew it was an act. She is shown to be dejected whenever Lugh reverts back to addressing her formally, making their different societal disparity apparent.

She is a master negotiator, impersonator and of disguise capable of mimicking in an entirely different persona or acting in a faultless dignified manner depending on the situation. She is incredibly astute as with one glance, she could tell that Dia's pedigree was not that of a ranking as low as a Baron and was on the same kind as her. Though she still decided to respect and play along with 'Claudia'.

Despite her fickle personality, she is shown to genuinely care for the Kingdom and those she made connections with. Her childhood friend Naiose wanted to join Lugh in his campaign against the demons so she decided to masquerade as a guard (Lugh failed to discern) to teach him a lesson. However, since Tarte easily defeated him, it saved her much trouble. She made it clear that Naiose is unfit to be a Romanlung and that she doesn’t see his as someone worthwhile, comparing him to a 'inept little brother', which alarms Lugh of how even a prodigious Duke in addition to being a top student of the academy was considered virtually nothing to someone of her standing.

She then made it clear that Lugh is the one she wants and his blood is unequivocally needed in her family. If it was just being a Tuatha De, her authority could easily get rid of the boundary but with his title as the Holy Knight, the circumstances became more difficult. Hence, she decided to use the straightforward approach of making him fall in love with her. She is extremely confident, though if that approach failed, she is not above raping him, telling him that it’ll be over before he knows it.

She has a great deal of belief in Lugh, not based on trust but rather intuition as she instantly approved his plans without looking it through. She then started preparing to become a squire of the Holy Knight telling Lugh to do the same. With that, Lugh gained an unexpected and frightening teammate, soliloquising that the worst thing that will happen is that he'd have to sleep with her, lamenting that he'd have a long conversation with the other girls.

Background
House Romanlung is the direct superior of House Tuatha Dé, who takes order from them. House Romanlung is the most powerful house in the Alvan Kingdom, holding even more power than the royal family. Her father is a close friend of the King and has great sway in the going-ons of the Kingdom. To outsiders, her father is the uncle of Princess Farina, the future Queen of the Kingdom, making her the 1st cousin of the Princess, though Lugh speculates them to be possibly twin sisters.

As the future Duchess of Romanlung, she asked for Princess Farina's and her father's permission to 'borrow' Lugh every once in a while, with the latter readily accepting and even encouraging it to happen.

Her room is decorated and described to be the apex of sophication unique to only real aristocrats. In other words, she had great taste in Lugh's mind. The Palace her family lives in is renowned and is more salubrious than even the Royal Family's Palace.

The house of Romanlung have spent countless generations creating the "perfect human" through gene selection and education, with each subsequent generation being better than the former. In the present, Nevan is the peak of their creation, with beauty and abilities considered at the pinnacle of human beings. Currently, the house have set their focus on Lugh, believing him to be the most suitable in making an heir with Nevan, further spurred up by her own feelings towards him. Duke Romanlung invariably asks Lugh and Nevan whenever he sees them for the day he could see their grandchild, with Lugh replying that he has no answers to that for now.

Power & Abilities
Nevan is an extremely powerful individual with a list of authentic accomplishments to her name. She is said to be able to easily dispatched Tarte in her beastified form even when she was blessed with Lugh's and the Hero's powers. With one observation, Lugh knew that he was dealing with a true 'monster'. Even when surpressed, Lugh knew that Tarte stood no chance against her. She also gained the upper hand against Lugh numerous times in their mental warfare, making him lament on how often she was able to make things go her way.

Light
Nevan excels in light magic, earning the title Shining Princess (輝きの姫). However, as light is one of the two rare attributes of magic, Nevan cannot use any other attributes. Light is considered an outrageously powerful ability as it has the fastest, longest-reaching and high performance magic spells. Its' attack travels at the speed of light and can easily span over several kimometers. Lugh candidly states that once you’re in her sights, it's 'lights out' for you.

Furthermore, light is the most comprehensive element as it is not limited to only attacking, exploring and healing aspects but also has top-performance in every other comprehensible areas. However, the drawbacks and reasons why Lugh didn’t choose this ability is because it can only be be acquired individually and lacks in offensive capabilities when analysing the ratio of attack power per mana consumed. Thus, the four basic abilities had more priority when taking down the Hero.

Healing Magic
Due to her innate ability with Light, this rare power is a product only granted to users of this affinity. This power is considered to be on a completely different realm compared to Tuathe De who are limited to only enhancing self-healing and assisting in surgical procedures. It can only be described as a conceptual healing entity with the power it grants.

Lugh Tuatha Dé
Nevan has a great interest in Lugh, believing that he is worthy of marrying into House Romanlung. After he shows that he's able to think on par with her and has vast knowledge and technology beyond this world's, her desire to have him becomes ever more strengthened. However, Lugh at the moment has no interest in her sexually, mostly in consideration for the other girls, but is also not above sleeping with her as the last possible option. On the other hand, Nevan will be satisfied as long as she gets her hand on Lugh's genes.

Dia Viecone
Knowing Dia only by her alias, Claudia Tuatha Dé, the younger sister of Lugh, Nevan nevertheless recognised her status and viewed Dia as having a similar pedigree to herself. Nevan taught Dia the basics of light magic, and afterwards, Dia created more light spells for her, adding to her already versatile arsenal.

Tarte
Nevan views Tarte as a hard-working commoner and also recognises her ability as a competent fighter in the field.

Naoise Gephis
Nevan sees Naoise as an idiotic younger brother, but is shown to worry about his well-being since they were childhood friends.
