STORY

The main character of the story and the protagonist is princess Yona. She is the most important person in her kingdom and the only heir of the emperor and the unique reincarnation of King Hiryuu – the Red Dragon. She is considered to be very beautiful for her age. Her eyes are purple and her hair is wine-red and wavy.

She was brought up by her loving and caring father as her mother had been killed long ago. Yona never had any problems in her life and led a careless life. However, it was forbidden for her to leave the castle.

A tragic accident happens to her in the day of celebration of her sixteenth birthday. A childhood friend and love (Soo-won) comes to visit Yona. She wants to talk to her father about her feelings to her former childhood love. It turns out that she still loves him. Unfortunately she finds her father murdered by Soo-won himself. He is going to rule Koukam now.

Hak, Yona’s bodyguard saves Yona and help her get out of the castle. He hides her in the place where he was born, called the Village of Wind. Hak’s grandfather suggests them to find the oracle (Ik-su). The oracle tells about the first king of Kouka kingdom. His name was Hiryuu. There also were four dragons that kept the kingdom strong. From this moment Yona and Hak start for a journey to find the reincarnations of those dragons – they are the only ones who will help to save the kingdom.

INTERESTING

Yona is fond of playing the Koto – a Chinese string musical instrument.

Yona’s romantic actions in intimate situations are very dense, which is a big gag throughout the series and Hak is the first one to experience it. She doesn’t notice all those who feel attracted to her. The funny thing is that she doesn’t really understand the romantic and intimate interactions between men and women.
