Binari Han

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

## Appearance

Binari is a fairly short young woman with pale skin and pink fluffy shoulder-length hair with bangs that she often wears in a ponytail. Binari's clothes, which draw inspiration from the korean *hanbok,* usually in pink and black tones. Her eyes are bronze-brown in color.

## Personality

Binari Han, above all, loves her friends deeply and dearly, and tends to be an optimist with “a nature to be friendly towards people.” While this tendency to be relentlessly optimistic and empathetic may seem like a weakness at first glance, it is actually her biggest strength, as explained by Professor Demian, who states “[she] could exert an influence stronger and more powerful than anyone else” due to her sensitive and warm personality.

## History

Binari was once the daughter of the deceased former head of the family, Hanarin Han. Hence, she lived in Hanla for most of her childhood.

After her parents’ death, Binari’s life was turned upside down as elder clan members took ownership over the possessions of the deceased clan head, leaving Binari with only her mother’s trinket. Despite being technically heir to the Han clan, she was often mistreated by adult members of the clan who wanted the title for themselves, and quickly found herself isolated and lonely in this new, unforgiving environment.

She eventually became friends with Mapharam, who had become a servant of the family after losing her parents. The both of them took in Lapis and hid her status as a magician, becoming 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.

Binari and Mapharam 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 her family. She is now an apprentice knight. However, since knights are obligated to terminate magicians, she and Mapharam have decided not to become real knights.

## Abilities

Binari uses a staff to channel her special skill, which is healing.

## Relationships

### Mapharam

Despite their rocky beginnings, Mapharam and Binari reconciled cheerfully, only to be interrupted by the sudden attack of a dark beast. In order to protect Mapharam, Binari shielded her with her own body, and the two were thrown off a cliff during the commotion, which gravely injured Mapharam.

 Desperate to save Mapharam’s life, Binari fervently prayed for help. The strength of her wish was so overwhelming that it resurrected and summoned the Dark Lord, who eliminated the dark beast and saved the two girls, answering Binari’s prayer.
### Lapis

Since growing up together, Binari has always considered Lapis to be her family, as she does with Mapharam.
