Violan Henituse

Countess Violan Henituse (later on Duchess) is the step-mother of Cale, mother of Lily and Basen, and second wife of Count Deruth. She is also the director for the Henituse territory's cultural business operations.

She knows more about what goes on in the Henituse territory than she lets on, such as Ron being an assassin.

Violan doesn't appear to care about Cale at all as they spend most of their time ignoring each other, prior to Cale's transmigration. But after Cale talks to Violan more, she demonstrates that she does think Cale as a son and cares for him as a mother.

## **Appearance**

Violan is impeccably groomed, wearing her hair in a bun without a single strand out of place. She doesn't often show emotions on her face and rarely smiles, often keeping a stern face. She and Basen look very similar to one another.

## **Personality**

She is a woman who has a lot of pride in both herself and her family. She cares a lot about appearances, both personal and figurative when concerning her family. She doesn't think much of nobles, considering them to be pretentious, but understands the necessity of maintaining the Henituse family's social status. She also doesn't care much about the kingdom, valuing her family over anything else, much befitting to the Henituse family motto, though she understands that the kingdom must be safe in order for the family to be safe as well.

Due to having worked in the merchant world for a while prior to marrying Deruth Henituse, Countess Violan has the tendency to speak coarsely every now and then. She is also capable of some incredibly dry stoic humour which she demonstrates around Cale every now and then.

## **Background**

She was the eldest daughter of a poor artist's family and dreamed of becoming the head of a merchant guild when she grew up. It was later clarified (or retconned) that her poor artist's family was actually a fallen noble family, and that she did indeed succeed at becoming the head of a merchant guild, which is what brought her to the Henituse territory. She was also lured to the Henituse territory because of the many artisan crafts originating from there; and upon her arrival, she fell in love with sculpting in particular.

During her stay in the territory, she eventually met and fell in love with Deruth, married him, and became the Countess. Later on, she become the director for the Henituse territory's cultural business operations.

She and her family (her children with Deruth, Basen and Lily) were not liked by the original Cale very much, and while he never caused trouble for them, they didn't regularly speak to each other—in fact, they (or Cale, rather) made a point to ignore each other.

The former Knight Captain-turned-mercenary-turned-chef of Violan's family, Edro, was her bodyguard and was the sword instructor of both herself and later on, of Lily.
