The Blood of the Black Rose
Maki_Sushi for King Henry IV - Side Character
Recently crowned, the young 14 year old King Henry IV inherited a Kingdom in turmoil. England is embroiled in a war with an unknown faction yet from his own point of view. While one of his closest advisors, 'helping' him, is his own Uncle Arthur, the man behind the war.
Innocent, naive, and fragile, the young King helps his people as much as he can, but cannot completely help himself in the midst of all council meetings and the potential war that decimated half of their army against the rebellion and the betrayal of Lord Alaric. His health will deteriorate, and in the end, he is unwilling to see his his people suffer, and his family.
- Henry's personality stems from being shy, doubtful, but kind, innocent and is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone, even to the lowest of ranks to none. His voice is considered gentle, hesitant, youthful, insecure, with a tenderhearted nature.

"Sometimes... I do feel odd that I am King, not my brother. I miss him dearly, and I do not know if I'm ready to be one. I am simply a boy, wanting to learn and venture out, explore. Now, I am King. Heavy is the head, that wears the crown."
"I... I do not know what to do. Uncle? Please, the people are suffering. I need to help them, at least even a coin from our treasury to ease their burdens from the war effort."
"Sister! Amicia..! I'm glad you're alright..! Where have you been, you've been missing for months..!"
