> Jonah's introduction

**Jonah Galene (요나 가레네)** is one of the main protagonists of the *Season Emblem* series. He is the **Dragon of the Red Noon** (**붉은 정오의 용**) who is a prince of Blake, but was captured and imprisoned in Noigllado, a holy kingdom which is a nation of Phoebe.

## Biography

Like Adila Hanlon and Dalia Hanlon, Jonah is able to use power by singing the song *Lost in Thoughts All Alone*. His pendant on his neck glows whenever he uses this power, and it allows him to perform miraculous feats. If he achieves an S-Support, he will have a daughter named Layla Galene.

### Backstory

Jonah was born in Valla as the son of its queen, Arete Galene, and her husband, the king. When his father was killed by Ursula and Valla fell at a later date, Jonah and Arete fled from Valla to the world outside the Bottomless Canyon. Jonah and Arete ended up in Blake, where Jonah eventually joined the Asra royal family as a prince when his mother became King Garon Asra's second queen consort after he fell in love with her singing and dancing.

Much of the Kieran population disliked how Arete was replacing Katerina Asra, Garon's late first wife, and began to scorn both Jonah and Arete. To make matters worse, the Asra family was plagued with infighting and political assassinations of the royal children. One day, his mother mysteriously died, leaving Jonah alone and distant to the Asra siblings due to the hostile environment.

After Garon was killed by Ursula, Antho Asra succeeded him as king of Blake. One day, Asra plotted the assassination of the Noigllado Emperor William Hanlon and, as a result, kidnapped his daughter "Adila", though he was unaware that this was actually Dalia.

In retaliation, Noigllado's military strategist, Yukimura, hired Shura and his gang to kidnap Jonah in hopes of leveraging a hostage exchange. While successful, Antho had little interest in giving Dalia back and so Jonah remained in Noigllado and was treated as a prince of Noigllado, its capital Novarista, and Phoebe, at the request of Empress Frederica Hanlon. In a new loving environment, Jonah finally felt at home and did not desire to ever return to Blake. While many held suspicious of him due to his Kieran connection, he was accepted by Frederica's children and the population.

### Season Emblem: Double Justice

Dalia and Adila meet Jonah when they stumble upon him singing by a lake. Adila introduces Jonah to Dalia, and Jonah explains that he was a prince of Blake who was kidnapped by Phoebe, in a similar situation to that of Dalia's, and that he was always happy in Noigllado despite technically being a hostage. He also mentions that he would prefer to stay in Phoebe if she had the choice to return to Blake, as Frederica is a peaceful ruler while Antho is not. Several days later, Jonah joins Adila, Jovan, Axel, Falo, and Takumi in giving Dalia a tour of Novarista on Frederica's request.

During the following celebration of Dalia's return at the empire square, Dalia's Ganglari is detonated by a hooded man and kills most of the people attending, including Frederica. Jonah (along with Adila, Falo, Jovan, and Axel) bears witness to Dalia's transformation into her mindless Alala form. He then warns Dalia to avoid the Wyrmslayer-wielding mercenaries and assists them in defeating the Hooded Man. After the battle, Adila uses her powers to revert Dalia back into her human form, even though she is nearly killed by the feral Dalia in the process. Jonah joins the Novarista royals to the Plains of Noigllado, where the Alala and Kieran armies meet.

After a long hesitation, Dalia eventually decides to side with her birth family from Phoebe, and Jonah assists them throughout their journey.
