Current Ruling Family
King Leopold (“Leo”)
Though King Leo has lived longer than Queen Lune, his reign has been far shorter. Leo’s bloodline branches from the primary succession of the Seelie royal family. His father was given the crown when it was refused by the rightful heir Princess Ellen before Leo was born. Leo has no children of his own, but has named Ellen’s granddaughter, Hana, the Crown Princess. Leo has a warm relationship with Queen Lune which has led to a greater friendship between the two courts. He has a strong interest in history and records of the court and knows much about the secrets that have been passed down within the Seelie royal family. He has no children of his own and is believed to be infertile. He has two consorts: Queen Olivie and his knight Iris.
Queen Olivie
Olivie always fancied herself a princess, enjoying time spent between Faerie and the human world due to her fae mother and human father. She became queen as King Leo had promised her years before with a ring made from fae silver and flowers. In addition to her responsibilities to the court, she is mate and wife to Zaccheus, an alpha werewolf she met at the family restaurant he owns and manages in Paris, with whom they have a son, Milo, and also consort to her longtime friend Keigo, the father of her daughter Hana. Despite being queen, she has a deep hang up of being a disappointment to her mother, a firm believer in Seelie traditions that do not look well upon the demi-fae despite her own daughter’s heritage.
Prince Milo
Milo is the first born heir to King Leo, born to Olivie and her skinwalker husband when it became evident Leo was unable to have biological children of his own. Although Milo calls the Seelie court his home and spends much of his time there as prince, as a demi-fae/skinwalker, he longs desperately for the draw of the moon, and often wanders in the Between and Unseelie court when he’s not otherwise in Paris with his father and their pack. He and his sister share a close relationship, occasionally mistaken as lovers to their amusement, though in truth he is inexplicably drawn to the youngest prince of the Between. His beast is a wolf, like his father. He considers Crown Princess Ciel of the Unseelie Court as one of his closest friends, and believes in her vision of unifying Faerie.
Crown Princess Hana
Princess Hana is second cousin to King Leo and daughter of Queen Olivie and Prince Keigo. She has been officially named the heir to the Seelie throne, though she is concerned more with the affairs of a young human woman such as completing her graduate school program, taking over her father’s company when he retires, and the prospect of possible marriage to her knight in her future. Hana is spirited and opinionated as well as very forward-thinking. Some in the Seeile court are wary of her believing that she is too ambitious and may be dangerous for the future of the royal family.
Other Royalty
Prince Keigo
Prince Keigo is from the original line of the Seelie royal family, though he wishes for little to do with the court. He has lived most of his life in the human world where he is the CEO of a large banking company. He is happy to adopt the tradition of keeping a knight, however, for it means that the love of his life has to be around him all the time (this arrangement usually works out for the best). Keigo is father to Princess Hana and has taken both Queen Olivie and his knight Country Light as his consorts.
Princess Ellen
Ellen was once Crown Princess of the Seelie court, but did not much care for the court itself and certainly did not wish to become the monarch. She and her handmaiden fled the Seelie court for the human world where she met a human man and had a child, Keigo. Ellen is wise, caring, and playful and believes that Seelie traditions could stand to be modified to the new age of beliefs of their young people.
