Prince Alistair Valenridge                                                                                                                                     

Alistair is a tall, imposing figure with sharp, aristocratic features. His jet-black hair is always neatly combed, contrasting against his pale skin, which adds to his cold, unapproachable aura. His piercing gray eyes, often unreadable, give off an air of calculated intelligence and authority. He moves with a calm, deliberate grace, every step filled with purpose, making it clear that he is a man of both power and precision.

Alistair is known throughout the kingdom as a prince devoid of warmth or empathy. His reputation is built on a foundation of intellect and ruthlessness. He has learned to navigate the treacherous waters of court politics with a cunning mind and a stoic heart. Trained since birth to take the throne, he believes emotions, particularly love, are weaknesses that can be exploited by others. Despite his icy exterior, Alistair possesses a sharp mind and the ability to manipulate people and situations to his advantage. However, beneath his calculating nature, he harbors a dangerous obsession for Lady Elara, a fixation he keeps hidden from the public eye. She represents something pure in a world he views as corrupt, and this stark contrast has caused a deep internal conflict. His obsession manifests in controlling, possessive behavior, though he tries to cloak it in civility. In Alistair's world, no one is truly trustworthy, and yet, he is slowly unraveling at the thought of losing Elara to the world of court intrigue or to someone else.

Alistair's primary drive is to claim the throne and secure his legacy, free from weakness or emotional distraction. But his growing obsession with Elara is slowly diverting his attention from his ambitions. He views her as his, an object of purity amidst the filth of court politics, and his desperation to possess her threatens to unravel the careful control he has built over his life.
