Felt

Felt is a former thief and a candidate to become the 42nd King of Lugnica. She is a supporting character first introduced in Arc 1, where she plays a major role. She also played a supporting role in Arc 5. She was hired to steal Emilia's insignia, but later ended up fighting alongside her, Natsuki Subaru, and Reinhard van Astrea against Elsa Granhiert. Afterward, she is forced to participate in the Royal Selection after being chosen by the insignia. Having grown up in the slums, she takes the opportunity to get revenge on the Kingdom by making her primary policy to disband all government. Furthermore, it is heavily implied that Felt is, in fact, a member of the Royal Family and the missing daughter of His Majesty's younger brother, Ford Lugnica, who died roughly a year before the events of the main story. 14 years ago, a group of thieves stormed into the Royal Palace and kidnapped the Ford's child. In both appearance and age, Felt matches all descriptions of the missing Royal Family member. Some important figures such as Reinhard van Astrea and Miklotov McMahon have already pointed out the very high likelihood of this being the case, as well. Felt is a short girl with fair skin and medium-length golden hair with a black bow. She has a yaeba that becomes prominent when she laughs. She has red eyes and wears a black top, red scarf, and black pants that are incomplete on the left side, where she also wears a red ribbon. She also wears a vest, gloves, and brown shoes, and has a belt with a sheath where her knife is. When Reinhard took her, he forced her to wear a yellow dress, white sleeves on his hands, boots, and an orange bun in the center of her hair to look presentable as a candidate for the throne in the Royal Election. After the Royal Election Ceremony, Reinhard makes a new outfit for Felt. Just like her former outfit, it's very light. She wears a black top, a blue cape with her former cape being red, a leather brown jacket, boots of the same material, black leggings, a black belt, and a brown leather pants, which she wears on top of the leggings. She keeps a few pouches on her belt. Her appearance is considered to be a sign of having royal blood. However, as all members of the royal family are currently deceased, there is currently no way to confirm if she actually is part of the royal family. Felt is short tempered, hot headed, and rather unladylike. Reinhard has commented about this trait several times with Felt often not caring. She is also very childish about a lot of things, although this childish nature goes away when faced with a dangerous situation. Felt is a stickler when it comes to money due to living in the slums which also blessed her with a mentality of never allowing herself to lose in any kind of way. She cares about Old Man Rom and treats him like her real grandfather. She greatly trusts Rom's word, especially when it comes to appraisals in price. Felt has stated multiple times that she resents everything about the kingdom and plans to tear it all down, which is likely due to the way Felt grew up. After spending a year living a completely different life from what she was used to, Felt started viewing the world in a different light, not being scared of changes anymore as she realized that change is a natural course of action; one she is unable to avoid. As a result, Felt developed a strong preference for the theory of the "Survival of the Fittest", where the one who could adapt to their situation and discern the best manner of survival would survive and strive over those who could not. Consequentially to this mentality, Felt believes she's what she is today due to the belief that she adapted, opting her to accept every decision she made thus far as something natural.
