Roroa Amidonia

Roroa Amidonia (ロロア・アミドニア, Roroa Amidonia) is one of the female protagonists of Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki series. She is the daughter of Gaius Amidonia and the younger sister of Julius Amidonia.

Appearance
Roroa has an attractive round face with small and beady eyes. She looks around the age of sixteen or seventeen years with a petite, slender physique that stood less than 160 cm tall and with braid-style twintails at the nape of her neck. In the manga she is shown to have long, black hair tied up in twin tails in front. In the light novel and anime, her hair is chestnut.

Personality
Roroa has a keen sense of business and economics causing a rift between her and her militaristic father who ignored the economic development of Amidonia. She agreed with many of the realistic views and ideas of Kazuya Souma whom she would later be engaged to. Roroa was even brilliant enough to invent commercials for the Jewel Voice Broadcast

She is normally very cheerful and tends to speak in merchant slang. She treats Kazuya's other queens as sisters. When she first met Souma, Roroa was surprised that he hadn't consummated his engagement with Liscia; having not taken into consideration that Souma would have been raised with different values. Despite this, Roroa accepted waiting until Liscia and Souma were ready; seeing no need to rush.

Biography
Roroa had been working behind the scenes during the reign of her father, using her business sense to keep the economy of the Principality of Amidonia from falling apart. However, despite her best efforts, whatever funds she managed to accumulate for the citizens and economy were always spent on strengthening the military. This leads to constant food shortages and a lack of industrial growth. Prior to the One Week War, she began looking into the reforms and exploits of the newly-crowned king of Elfrieden, Kazuya Souma. She found herself 'jealous of her neighbor's wallet' and planned to 'link her wallet' to Elfrieden's.

After Amidonia invaded Elfrieden, Roroa decided to cut all ties with her family and went into hiding with the former Finance Minister, Gatsby Colbert. After Amidonia loses the war and the capital city of Van, Roroa investigated the state of Van during the occupation. She was very impressed with the use of the Jewel Broadcast System and saw the financial potential of mass media. She also took note of how unwilling the citizens would be to give up their newfound freedom, after having a taste of it. She predicted that her brother Julius would have a hard time once Van was given back to him.

True to her prediction, Julius indeed had many troubles as he attempted to erase all of Elfrieden's influences and return the city back to the status quo. This situation was further compounded with a huge uprising in the northeast area and several revolts started by Roroa in secret (though these did not end in bloodshed like the one in the northeast).

With the revolts happening on all sides, opposing nations invading, and Van suddenly declaring itself allied with Elfrieden, becoming once again occupied by Kazuya's forces, Julius was forced into exile, and the entire Principality of Amidonia was eventually annexed by Elfrieden.

Roroa would later be presented by her grandfather Herman Neumann, to Kazuya Souma, (via inside a rolled-up carpet), and was offered as a bride to him. Since this would give him a legitimate claim to Amidonia, Kazuya accepted, thereby making Gaius' daughter, the Third Primary Queen. She would later come up with the idea of 'commercials' as a way to bolster the Jewel Voice Broadcast programming and earn more income. She had also asked Souma permission to start a new company and assured him that any children they would have would inherit the business and not lay claim for succession to the crown.

Since her engagement to Kazuya, Roroa has kept herself busy with several trade ventures and expanding the Silver Deer, a former men's clothing store in Van, managed by her friend Sebastian Silverdeer. Most recently, she became the sponsor of Landia's first hovercraft, the Roroa Maru and even had the amphibious ship named after her. She would take part in the festival as a memorial to her late father Gaius.

She would later accompany Kazuya on his trip to the Union of Eastern Nations, where she would have a surprising reunion with her exiled brother Julius. She would begin repairing their relationship as well as form a friendship with her eventual sister-in-law, Tia Lastania.

Roroa would eventually marry Kazuya alongside Liscia, Aisha, Juna, and Naden on the day of his coronation, officially becoming Third Primary Queen. She has agreed to cooperatively act as mother to all children born.

Roroa was not heavily involved in many of the Friedonian concerns relating to Fuuga's unification of the Union of Eastern Nations. However, she did advocate for sheltering the Lastanian royal family, which included her brother Julius, when they were to flee the country. Kazuya would agree to this in part because of Roroa's request. Roroa was happy to be reunited with her sister-in-law Tia and her brother Julius. As Tia and Roroa are both heavily pregnant, Roroa would joke that the first place the two would visit together would be Hilde's clinic to give birth.

Roroa's company would be involved in the secret smuggling of a number of Lunarian refugees, including Mary, during political upheaval within the Lunarian Orthodox Papal State.

Economics
Roroa has great skills in terms of making profits and managing financial deals on a large scale. She has great foresight in seeing the economic potential of the Jewel Voice Broadcast and is shrewd in business negotiations. Through her efforts, she had been able to keep the economy of Amidonia from collapsing.

Trivia

 * The "Woman" that Souma mentions to Roroa when he reveals why he correctly guessed her carpet trick, is possibly a reference to Cleopatra, who was theorized to have arranged to meet Caesar by having herself rolled up inside a carpet that was then delivered to Caesar.
 * While the Anime did cover this part, but rather than showing her rolled-up inside a carpet (as in the Light Novel), she was instead shown to be hiding under a pile of carpets.
 * In the case of the Manga, this part was completely removed, and she was just shown to be hiding under some sheet of cloth. So, Souma never got to mention anything regarding the "Woman", since the hiding inside carpet situation didn't occur.
