Profile: Taiga Kogen, heir to the throne
Name: Taiga Kogen of the Nara Branch
Titles: Heir to the Imperial Throne of Kusari
Age: 30
Residence: Kōkyo District, Imperial Palace
Notes:
Taiga is surprisingly well educated on foreign customs.
He is interested in several musical instruments, including the Piano.
He is rather naive and easily excited about things.
He drinks no alcohol, ever.
I caught him having a call with a friend he tried to keep secret from his Uncle. Turns out it was a Hogosha. They really got their fingers everywhere.
Being more or less locked up in the Kōkyo District makes him visibly lonely. His Uncle tries to counter-act this by spending time with him on the regular.
He is not exactly well versed with politics. He understands the basics but most nuances just fly past his head.
He gets nervous when I seek a conversation with him.
833 - Managed to confirm that the Imperial family has yet to decide on his wife. Applications are frequently sent but Taiga seems to turn down everyone so far. His Imperial Majesty not trying to force him is a good sign.
835 - Important: He showed interest in politics counselling courses with me.
835 - Important: He gifted me a Piano. For my birthday.
835 - Important: He slipped up and called me by my first name. Seized the opportunity to formally invite him to continue doing so, he returned the gesture.
Intended long-term plan: Manipulate. Potentially marry, then keep him subdued. Empress Sanae of Kusari has a nice ring to it. Irelei and myself ruling in the background is just too tempting.
