Riche Eden

About
Riche Eden is a princess of the nation of Eden, second daughter of Louin Eden and one of his two wives, and previously third in line for the throne of Eden prior to her marrying a commoner, Aster. Devoted to her homeland, Riche has chosen to defend it by running an independent investigation of the Outlaw conspiracy known as the Snake Crest.

Personality and Appearance
Riche is highly independent and selfish, a truant and a busybody, all qualities that made her ill-suited to be a princess. As a child, she frequently escaped her family's harem to play with the children on the street, where she met her future best friends, Ramius Dreissen and Kathryn Lapucelle. As she grew into adulthood, her family failed to find a role for her in governance, politics, or even a political marriage. Riche would have to find her own calling in life, which she did in pursuing the organization known as the Snake Crest.

Despite her errant childhood, Riche is especially close to her sister, Croix Eden, as well as her father, Louin. She does not get along with the prime minister, Rochefort, both because of her unbecoming behaviour and his secret hatred for the monarchy.

Riche has very little regard for the privacy of others, and is responsible for both her family's wedding traditions of spying on the bride and groom, and also bursting in on them in the morning with breakfast.

Riche despises Hannies, partially due to their invulnerability to magic, but the hatred may go even deeper than thta, and is possibly irrational. She is a Haniwa mass murderer, but has stopped short of taking steps that would wipe them out altogether, such as when given the opportunity to sabotague their special, reproductive clay.

Abilities
While Riche is not technically a knight, as nobility she has "status equivallent to a knight." She shares a knight's ability to kill people under Mother Eve's Blessing without becoming an Outlaw, but it is unclear how many people she is allowed to marry.

Riche is trained as a Sorceress, a style of knight that focuses on the use of magic in combat. She has access to both healing magic and attack magic, namely Flame, Ice and Light magic, though this mixed focus makes it hard for her to do both at the same time. She is not so gifted as a physical combatant, and has to learn her only physical attack during her journey with Aster.

Trivia

 * Like all members of the royal house of Eden, Riche's given name is pronounced in the French fashion, [ʁiʃ]. Unsurprisingly, the name means "Rich."
