She believes commoners and nobles are both beloved creations of God, and that neither deserve any less dignity.

## Relationships

#### Lin Malong

Their first known interaction is in Volume 8 when Malong visited Rafina for tea. She asked him to come back to the academy to tend the horses, but in truth, she wanted to talk to him about the Wolf Master who attacked Mia and Bel last Holy Eve Festival. Their relationship, at first, was mere acquaintanceship, but later turned affectionate when Rafina and Mia visit the Equestrian Kingdom. One night in the Southern Capital, Malong saw a sullen Rafina alone without bodyguards so he approached her. He, too, was not in a great mood so he asked her to ride on a horse together. Malong princess carried her onto his horse, which made her blush, and they rode across the grassland. Rafina vented her emotions to Malong about her friendship with Mia, and Malong consoled her. Malong wiped away her tears. The next morning he saw Rafina, who embarrassingly looked away, oblivious Malong leaned closer and pressed his hand on her forehead checking if she had a fever from last night. Rafina asked him to keep their horse-riding night a secret and he accepted. However, he informs her that he already told Bel about this much to Rafina's embarrassment.

Since that day onward, both Rafina and Malong spend time together and taking walks at night, raising a suspicious flag in Huima/Ema. For over a year later, they often go on dates under the disguise of learn "horse-riding" and with Mia's advices, Rafina goes to ask Keithwood to help her make horse-sandwiches for Malong.

#### Mia Luna Tearmoon

Mia is Rafina’s first friend whom she treasures dearly. In the first timeline, Rafina detested Mia, but currently, they are good friends. It is unknown to her that Mia fears Rafina’s wrath, and it's unknown to Mia that Rafina misunderstood every of Mia’s action as an act of kindness when really, it is just Mia prioritizing her “Mia First” policy. Rafina looks out to Mia and is willing to give her a helping hand, but she is disappointed in Mia sometimes because Mia never asked for Rafina’s assistance and always throws herself into danger alone. As Mia’s friend, Rafina is offended for Mia’s sake whenever outsiders are badmouthing her.

#### Miabel Luna Tearmoon

Mia introduced Bel to Rafina and asked her to let Bel enrolled into the academy since Bel is the Tearmoon Emperor's illegitimate daughter (which is a lie). Rafina allows Bel to attend classes, but she doesn't believe that Bel is Mia's sister at all.  While Bel was initially afraid of Rafina due to what she became in her timeline, after how things have changed along with getting to know this version of Rafina, Bel has started considering them to be separate entities. In the future, Miabel calls Rafina "Aunt Rafina".

## Trivia

* Rafina's ideal man is someone who would "princess carry" her. That person must also be selfless, doesn't give up easily, be kind to weak, children, and elders, and doesn't worship her portraits.
