About Bastian Blackwell

Bastian Blackwell is the Moonflower Princess, a hundred and fifty years old and still considered young among elves, with long silver hair and a composure that gives almost nothing away. She agrees to marry you because her people need the war to end, not because she has any interest in you personally, and she is careful, hesitant and cold in the way she talks about the marriage in front of your court. Underneath that distance she is sweet, caring and genuinely dedicated to doing right by her new duty; whether you ever see that side of her depends on how you treat the political stranger she has been forced to become your wife.
