Mapharam Han

* Current
* Young

**Mapharam Han** is one of the main supporting characters of *The Dark Lord's Confession*. She is a childhood friend of Lapis and Binari, and an apprentice knight at Area Academy. She hails from Hanla, a nation in the East.

## Appearance

Mapharam has a fairly tall and masculine appearance. She has yellow eyes and short green hair that she wears in a low ponytail. Her skin is tanned and dotted with freckles. Ever since becoming an apprentice knight, she has started wearing the standard apprentice knight's uniform. Due to her good looks, Mapharam is very popular with women, who often describe her as handsome.

## Personality

Mapharam is extremely caring and loyal towards those she loves, willing to do anything to protect them. Professor Demian describes her as being “[…] passionate to protect what [she] does have,” while not having any desire to take what she wants from others.

Despite her seemingly carefree attitude, Mapharam is the highest achieving student at Area Academy, earning her keep more than most knights do. Professor Demian describes her as a “quick thinker”, and someone who has guts, and who gives it their all when fighting. However, Mapharam is often stubborn to a fault, and will not hesitate to disobey orders or be rude if she believes it to be necessary. Even if it involves a dangerous situation, such as chasing down enemies, once Mapharam has her eyes set on a goal, she does not let go.

Boastful about her looks and confident to a fault, Mapharam enjoys the romantic attentions she receives from women who find her handsome, and isn’t hurt by negative comments regarding her muscled appearance. Simply put, she enjoys showing off her body.

## History

Maphram's parents were merchants who died while protecting her from a dark beast. Her mother was originally a noble of the Han family, but had fallen in love with a servant and ran away, turning her back on her family.

After rejoining the Han family, Mapharam was treated like a servant and became friends with Binari, the daughter of the deceased former head of the family. One day, they were running away from a dark beast but were saved by Lapis, whom they found in the forest. The both of them took her in and hid her status as a magician, and the three became fast friends.

Four years later, after Lapis' secret was discovered, the entire Han clan was massacred by a high-level dark beast with deer antlers. In the chaos, Binari found Lapis, who was locked up in a warehouse, and the two ran away with Mapharam, only for Lapis to run away soon after.

Mapharam and Binari then headed to Lampas, where they lived on the wealth from Binari's mother. The two stayed together since, and entered Area Academy as freshmen two years later, to find the deer horned dark beast which killed the Han family. Mapharam is now an apprentice knight. However, since knights are obligated to terminate magicians, she and Binari have decided not to become real knights.

## Abilities

Mapharam is skilled in using the bow and swordsmanship. Her special skill is flames. Mapharam is the highest scoring apprentice knight, and highly coveted by all divisions. Professor Demian even describes her as “[…] the most outstanding student [he] has ever taught.” In fact, despite only being an apprentice knight, she is “[…] skilled enough to wield a power that has no defined form, while targeting only [her] enemies.”

## Trivia

* Mapharam was originally supposed to be a male character, but this was changed because the creator wanted to show a friendship between three women.
* She has arachnophobia.
