Background
Ian, as one of the sons of King Stuart, is a contender for the right to ascend to the throne. He is serious in performing his tasks as prince ever since he was young, often joining his father in attending to public affairs and studying to attain a position in the student council of the Magic Academy. His opinions on the throne and ascension are not clear, but regardless of his feelings in the matter he is the main rival of his older brother Geoffrey, with a strong faction intent on giving him the crown.

Selena Berg
Ian and Selena have been engaged ever since they were both 9 years old. While Selena believes that Ian has no interest in her, in reality he finds her very lovable and beautiful. Ever since their first meeting, he had been fascinated by her cute and gentle demeanor, and fell in love with her immediately. Ian is grateful for the way Selena had unintentionally saved him by quietly watching over him whenever he thought he felt like he needed to be alone. Over time, his feelings of fondness for Selena's loveliness and kindness had become so overwhelming that he decided to put some distance between the two of them. He distances himself from his fiancée as he does not find it appropriate to touch her, and tries his best to hold himself back while they are not yet married.

Geoffrey Stuart
Geoffrey is Ian's older brother, and a fellow competitor for the right to ascend to the throne. They are not usually seen together, but when they do, they get along well. However, the existence of their respective factions prevents them from becoming close or friendly with each other. Ian is holding off his marriage with his fiancée in consideration to his older brother.
