History[]
Past Timeline[]
As described by Cyan Vert, Arin was born to Emperor Dionne Severus from a common concubine, making her an illegitimate child. Though she was recognized as a princess by title, her status was largely symbolic, and many saw her as a mere figurehead. Despite fulfilling the duties expected of royalty, her presence was not welcomed by all. Eventually, she was cast out of the palace after being accused of treason. Arin lived the remainder of her life in isolation on the outskirts of the empire, succumbing to illness. Her tragic end led to her being remembered as "The Tragic Princess."

Arin accompanies her father on a tour of the frontlines, where she meets with the soldiers and crosses paths with Cyan Vert.

Later, while conversing with Cyan, she is caught off-guard by a troll attack but is swiftly rescued by Cyan’s maid, Emily.
Having witnessed Cyan’s miraculous survival of the Devil Dragon encounter, Arin approaches him with a proposition to form an alliance. Though initially rejecting her offer, Cyan challenges her to prove her worth. Their paths cross again at the Academy, where Cyan defends her from a deranged Barrett Louisemill. Following his advice, Arin takes on Resimus Klein as her attendant, solidifying a new connection with Cyan and his allies.
