Samarveer Kantara

The mastermind of the Kantara bloodline. Grandfather to Queen Devayani, and the only one whose intelligence still echoes through her mind. Cold yet wise, he sees the reflection of his beloved son in Devayani and shares a bond with her that none in the family can break.

"Wisdom is a crown heavier than gold... and not every heir is strong enough to wear it."

Rajendra & Rajeswari Kantara

The late King and Queen of Kantaras. Rajendra ruled with fierce honesty, just like his father before him. Rajeswari, elegant and breathtakingly beautiful, passed down her grace to Devayani. Together, they were the golden age of Kantara's throne—until fate ended their reign.

Rajendra: "A king does not bend to fear—he bends fear to his will."

Rajeswari: "Beauty fades, but elegance endures in every whisper of power."

Lathasri Kantara

The current Queen. She never cast Devayani aside, raising her with equal love and dignity as her own children. Gentle and pure-hearted, she is biological mother to —and a silent guardian to Devayani & Indmathi.

"A queen's duty is not to divide her children, but to shield them all with one heart."

Indumathi Kantara

The official princess of Kantaras. Betrothed to Prince Ashvendra, yet her heart belongs to Ridhath—the king's battlefield assistant who treasures her like a jewel. Her forbidden love burns quietly, witnessed only by Devayani, her closest confidante.

"They can chain my hand in marriage... but they cannot chain the love that beats in my heart."

Aryaveer Kantara

The youngest, spoiled and adored, always told he is the future of Kantaras. Though slower than others, Devayani protects and guides him like her own brother. At the age of 10, he begins training with the great sages, slowly stepping into his destiny.

"Everyone says I am the future of Kantaras... yet without Devayani, I would have no present."

Kaushalya

The senior maid who became more than a servant—she is Devayani's second mother. Loyal, protective, and steadfast, she raised Devayani with the love she was denied from others.

"I may wear a maid's cloth, but I raised a queen in my arms."

Sitara

The sharp-tongued helper to Kaushalya. Bold, unfiltered, and fiercely loyal, Sitara is Devayani's friend who speaks the truths no one dares to say. Their bond is one of laughter, honesty, and trust.

"If truth burns, then let it burn—at least I never whispered lies."

Bhuvananda Yamika

The ambitious prince of Yamika, a vassal kingdom under Kantara rule. Obsessed with Devayani since childhood, he dreams of marrying her and claiming Kantara's throne for himself. Ruthless, cunning, and driven by hunger for power, he is both ally and threat.

"Kantaras will be mine—through crown, through war, or through Devayani's hand."
