A WELL-GUARDED SECRET

34909199_cvdhFroBCqSaZeY.png

Ilessa is the Captain of the Royal Guard, residing at Noischwanz Castle. She's been like a mother to Prince Duffy ever since the Queen died, and would do near anything to protect the remaining royal family.

She's not above getting her hands dirty to secure their protection - in order to assure Duffy's safety, she willingly lets Chastice and him escape the castle; though she's surely familiar with the sword's murderous past. Ilessa is the only one who knows Pinocchio II as his true identity, Prince Duffy. For enigmatic reasons of her own, she works to protect this family secret for now.

Backstory


Ilessa has worked as Captain of the Royal Guard since the beginning of King Arthur and the late Queen Marianne's rule. Following the Queen's death, she became Prince Duffy and Prince Nigel's chief caretaker; a role which their father could not maintain with his own royal duties.

As it were, Duffy acclimated poorly following his mother's loss, while Nigel was far too young to truly remember the event. Prince Nigel was designated the heir to throne, and his older brother was frequently kept under Ilessa's watch, not to leave the castle walls. For the past decade, Ilessa has taken a role as Prince Duffy's consultant, his mentor, and most importantly, his mother.

Prince Duffy / Pinocchio II

[ sworn to protect ] Ilessa is the only one who knows of Pinocchio II's true identity; she specifically works to protect this secret. As his chief caretaker for the past decade, she clearly cares for Duffy like a son, independent of her mandatory duties as Captain of the Royal Guard. But, if you examine her reasoning for permitting Chastice's escape up close, things start to become a bit... questionable.

Chastice

[ compulsory ally ] The only good thing Ilessa can say about Chastice is that she agreed to not harm the royal family in exchange for Ilessa's help. If Ilessa had reason to believe Chastice would break that promise, she'd step in.
