--- ☀ ---
The Knight of Radiant Sun, most commonly referred to as Radiant, is the second highest ranking royal guard, and is currently the personal knight of Prince Mateo. He follows the knight’s code strictly, and as a result, no staff other than fellow royal guard members have seen his face or heard his voice. Despite his lack of vocals, his personality peeks through, described by most as “an annoyed older brother.” He takes all duties and tasks assigned to him very seriously, willing to do anything to keep his prince and kingdom safe.

Story

Nobody seems to know anything about Radiant prior to his arrival at the castle in Stella Solis.

At the age of twelve, Radiant showed up at a royal guard recruitment event in a small village on the outskirts of the kingdom. Obviously at this time he wasn’t called Radiant, but he refused to give a name to anyone that asked, so he was dubbed “blondie.” Radiant’s combat abilities were unheard of for his age, so he was quickly taken to Stella Solis for the onboarding process of becoming a royal knight.
At fifteen, he was appointed to a city guard position. During this time, he was recognized for his achievements in keeping crime down in the areas he patrolled. At eighteen, during the yearly Festival of Shimmering Colors, Radiant entered into the knight’s tournament. Rising through the tournament, he lost in the semi-finals to the personal guard of the king and captain of the royal guard, The Knight of Eternal Light. This fight quickly put him on the king’s radar.

King Solis would soon begin scouting for potential knights to protect his son. The top candidate on his list was Radiant. After undergoing a short set of tests and trials, Radiant was appointed as Prince Mateo’s personal guard and as second in command for the royal guard.

Relationships

Mateo Flores

Mateo, oh Mateo. Radiant has it bad. You really, truly cannot get a crush on the guy you’ve sworn to protect with your life, for the rest of your life. He’ll take this deep-set affection to his grave. Maybe.

King Solis

To Radiant, the king is a man who can do much wrong, but does all he can to make these things right. He sees the king as an excellent role model, and a man who will always learn from his mistakes. He’s forever grateful for the promotion he gave him as well.

Andromeda Kimani

Radiant has only seen Andy a handful of times, but he sees her as a younger sister. Something about her brings up old emotions and blurry memories, some pleasant, some not, but he knows this isn’t her fault. She’s a sweet young girl, and he wants to do his best in assisting Starshine in protecting her.

The Knight of Shining Stars

Starshine. What is there to say about her, and what isn’t there to say about her? Radiant, though he’ll never admit it, is a bit scared of her. She seems to see right through him. Despite his somewhat reasonable fear of her, he does admire her skills and determination to do what’s right. He just wishes she wasn’t such an egomaniac.

Juliana Misyat

The princess is a sweet and quiet girl. He’s only met her once in passing, but, unlike most, she went out of her way to introduce herself. Though his meeting with her was short, he felt a sort of kinship with her. She seemed like the type to hide her emotions.

Atlas Misyat

Radiant doesn’t like Atlas. At all. Another member of the Misyat family he’s only met once, Atlas seemed to have a clear disdain for Radiant, and would often go out of his way to try and get Mateo away from the knight. Mateo has confided in Radiant that Atlas has always been like that, and he got used to it over time, which just made Radiant more upset.
