Ou Na-Ting of the Grand Upperclass

The wife of the reigning Ao Lai emperor, Ou Na-Ting. As her status, dictates, she has the power to suggest and pass royal decrees across the land. Being the mother of Ao Lai’s next rulers and being of royal blood, many of the land’s laws don’t affect her. Her presence means a great deal, though not as much as the emperor’s, and misconduct with her is severely punished. Most notable, however, is her power to influence the emperor.

Ou Na-Ting herself is a peaceful and soft woman. “Her words are whispers but leave impressions greater than the most talented poets of the land,” the emperor says. She is said to be the sweetest willow in Ao Lai; none that meet her can can criticize her gentle kindness. Some have said, though, that the infamous Ou Ju got his incredible forwardness from his mother.

Ou Si of the Grand Upperclass

Prince Ou Si removing the ceremonial morning workday day bell

A younger brother of often seen Prince Ou Ju, Prince Ou Si has a sulking yet proactive disposition. Unlike Ju, he prefers the quiet and solitude of the castle’s book chambers. He’s also more intelligent than many of his siblings, older or younger, but maybe not as wise.

Every morning at 5 am, the castle’s ceremonial bell tolls to signify the start of the workday. Si, despising loud noises, has a history of removing the bell from the hooks it hangs on.

Even though he’s of similar age to Ou Ju, he doesn’t wear yellow, a symbol of royal power, because he’s not mature enough; only those with actual monarchial powers wear yellow. Instead, he wears a warm gold color, simply a symbol of royalty, whereas Ou Ju is allowed to wear yellow.
