Linden Vanderberg

## **Official Bio**

*"Born and raised into royalty, the prince Linden has it all; fame, money, looks, family- literally everything. I even aspire to even be like him one day and I look up to him, but there's something off about him. Going undercover as Lady Anela to infiltrate the palace is easy, but knowing the prince's secrets would be a pain in the ass. Just what are you hiding, Your Highness?" - Tobias' journal entry about Linden*

### Debut

Velaris

**Linden Vanderberg** is the prince of Velaris, being the queen's only son, and he's the love interest of Tobias Avelino, making Linden the deuteragonist of the book. He's one of the people in the kingdom who doesn't like the work of the agency and treats them as a bunch of criminals. Ares Vanderberg, the regent, is his only known relative as he's his cousin.

As of now, Linden Vanderberg's inspiration is a secret in its early development stages.

## **Early Life**

Not much is known about the prince's past, but it was mentioned that his father abandoned him and his mother after hearing his mother is pregnant with him. Because of that, Linden might've gotten cold-hearted towards a lot of people, even to his own mother and cousin.

## **Personality**

He's mostly steadfast, silent, and reserved because of his royal background, but he's also described as "hard to talk to" by a lot of people, especially his servants. Linden has a quiet nature and will open up to anyone he feels safe to be with, and to whom he's not feel threatened.

Because he's silent, he's a great listener and would also be a good candidate to be a shoulder to lean on if you're his friend. He dislikes change- especially with the fact that Tobias was only posing as Anela to save him from Ares.

## **Physical Appearance**

Linden has jet black hair that could come off as bluish-black; it's straight and neatly-combed. He has green eyes, and he has a lean and boyish figure. Linden is also tall for his age, he stands at about 5'9".

In his birthday gala, he wears a white dress shirt and a green necktie around his collar under a black waistcoat, adding a green colored blazer jacket with gold accents and buttons. Linden also wears black slacks and black boots with gold linings. He wears a tactical black leg strap with gold linings around his right leg, and black gloves for both his hands. Because of the event, he has a gold crown on top of his head with three emeralds on it.

His casual wear consists of a navy blue blazer over a green polo shirt. Linden has black jeans and black ankle boots on, and he doesn't wear his crown.

## **Trivias**

* His name, "Linden", came from a tree with the same name, with the linden tree having heart-shaped leaves and yellowish flowers.
	+ Linden's zodiac sign, Taurus, has earth as its element, which closely ties to his name being a plant.
* Linden has some similarities with Léa Navarro from Beyond Worlds:
	+ Both are abandoned by their fathers in an early age, resulting to their quiet but stubborn and hard-headed personalities.
	+ With their father out of the picture, their relatives (Ares Vanderberg for Linden and Julian Navarro for Léa) are the ones who consoles them.
	+ Both are known to have monotone and lukewarm personas prior to meeting their love interests- Tobias Avelino and Hiro Hamada- respectively.
* His crown has an emerald in the middle, and emerald is his birthstone.
	+ Out of all the main characters, Linden is the only one who doesn't wear his paraphernalia often, unlike Tobias who wears his earring everyday.
* The majority of Linden's clothes, mostly the casual outfits, are inspired by Prince Harry.
