Yona (Akatsuki no Yona)

Princess Yona is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series Akatsuki no Yona. Yona is the princess of Kouka Kingdom, being the daughter of Emperor II and Queen Kashi. Yona lived a sheltered life, being protected by her father and her childhood friend and bodyguard, Hak, who is secretly in love with her. However, on the night of her 16th birthday, she was forced to run away from the castle when her cousin Soo-Won killed her father and took the throne for himself. 
Knowing that Hak wouldn't be able to protect her alone, Yona started to train her own strength and sought the help of four warriors with powers of the dragons who served the first King of Kouka, King Hiryuu, who was the red dragon god that took the form of a human to rule Kouka. After meeting the dragon warriors, Yona finds out that she is actually the reincarnation of King Hiryuu.
She was voiced by Chiwa Saito in the Japanese version and by Monica Rial in the English version.
==Appearance==
Yona is a beautiful girl of short stature, curly red hair and round violet eyes. She often wears a cape with a hood to hide her full appearance, particularly her red hair, which attracts the attention of the nobles.
==Personality==
Yona starts off as a very spoiled princess who was isolated from the world outside the castle, but this changes after she is forced to leave her home. She soon shows to have a sweet demeanour and a strong sense of conviction. She has also shown an absolute willingness to learn and helping people on her journey, especially after realizing the current state of her kingdom. Despite being kind, Yona can be fierce when angered, occasionally giving her enemies a blazing death glare, scaring them.
She grieved greatly after her cousin, Soo-Won, murdered her father before her eyes. Yona was left heartbroken and traumatized by Soo-Won's betrayal and actions. She initially thought of getting revenge, however, she ultimately concluded that while she will never forgive Soo-Won, she won't seek revenge against him and just help her people in the Kouka Kingdom instead.
