Character Story

Unlike her older sister, Crown Princess Maximilia, who learned about warfare and governance to become the successor of the Empire, Luise followed the customs of the royal family and learned flame magic. When Maximilia became the Crown Princess, Luise naturally assumed the position of the Empire's Guardian.

Among many fire mages, she distinguished herself with exceptional achievements. After the Rift Crisis, she led the people alongside her sister, and took on the responsibility of protecting the citizens and sending them to her sister while staying behind in the dying Noctis Nebula in her sister's stead.
