**Mamoru Burningshield** is the deceased older brother of Jin and the **first prince** of Burningshield. His name is mentioned several times in 3 Years at Home and he makes appearances in Where Forever Began and The World We Live In. He has a vague past with Aura Lachesis. The history books state him as the **'Brain Burningshield'**.

## Appearance

Mamoru has almost similar face to Jin --blonde hair and golden eyes, but with dimples on his cheeks. Unlike Jin who prefers wearing a Burningshield white robe, Mamoru tends to work with his robe-less white clothes. Mamoru also tidies his hair short, supposedly to make his hair breathe easier whenever he thinks hardly.

## Early life

Mamoru is an intellectual. He shows an interest to books since his young age and sometimes he helps the King to make crucial decisions. He spends his whole time reading books, researching science and sometimes walks around the castle area to seek shades and place to read. This hobby he enjoys, however, isn't a trait he claims to be useful as the next king. Thus, he gives the throne to his younger brother.

In 3 Years at Home, Mamoru is mentioned as the secret love of Aura. He keeps on waiting for Aura to come back tothe promised spot.

In The World We Live In, Mamoru holds a key story on bringing back the happiness by turning the time.

Unfortunately, before he officially gives the crown, he bites the dust because of the **Vampire War**. Later, the Cowie gang finds the truth about Mamoru's tactical strategy on letting his only brother survive the war.

## Personality

Mamoru is reserved; but not arrogant. He thinks thousands of steps ahead before he declares his move and this makes him so eager to seek peace and happiness. He rarely speaks and tells his mind out loud. Even if he doesn't speak a lot, Burningshield soldiers and maids respect him as the prince who listens. He is humble and considerate; he also fully understands that he's not as social and strong as Jin, thus he thinks giving the throne to Jin is the best choice.

Unlike Jin, Mamoru never opposes matchmaking --yet he smartly dodges the matchmaking by saying 'I'm not the next king, I don't need to get married that fast.'

## Relationship

**Jin Burningshield** - Jin is Mamoru's only brother or sibling. One year gap between those two makes their relationship closer. Mamoru sometimes covers his brother's mess when he ventures away from the castle, explaining that Jin needs the air to live. Mamoru has high regard for Jin, especially for Jin's social, strength and smart. Thinking that Jin holds a better future than him, he cares for his brother a lot and he thinks of everything to make his brother survive.

**Aura Lachesis** - Mamoru and Aura's encounter is accidental. Without explaining herself, Mamoru tries to protect Aura with all of his might. Both click on real fast and meet several times, until Aura finally realizes her feelings for Mamoru, without knowing Mamoru's real feelings for Aura.

In 3 Years at Home, he makes a shelter for Aura to protect her from the sunlight.

## Trivia

* If Mamoru's alive, he might be the next Kyo but wiser and he takes jokes better.
* The reason why Jin accepts the throne is because Mamoru says 'I won't live long.'
