Izana Wistalia Husbando

Izana Wistaria, the current King of Clarines. He is the first son of Haruto Wistaria and the late Kain Wistaria, the older brother of Zen Wistaria, and the fiancé of Haki Arleon. Izana is a handsome young man in his twenties with shoulder-length blond hair that has bangs hanging over his forehead and dark blue eyes. Six years before the manga and currently, his hair is long and tied in a ponytail. As the King of Clarines, he wears formal clothing while in the castle, especially when attending to official matters. His usual attire consists of a black long-sleeved collared shirt, a vest with ornate patterns along its edge, and light-coloured pants. His sword is usually brought around with him, and he sometimes wears a jacket draped over his shoulders. When in Lilias, he tied his hair into a short ponytail. He wears a light-coloured jacket with fur at the sleeves over a black collared shirt. He also wears a fur-lined cape or a jacket with fur at the collar and edges. When Izana was the heir and then king of Clarines, he has demonstrated that he is a responsible ruler who puts his people first. This can be seen from how he responded quickly to the Lilias incident, ordering for Lilias' gates to be barricaded so that the travellers entering and leaving the town would not spread the disease to the surrounding area. He also often leaves the castle to travel to various parts of the country, likely for official and important matters. He has no patience for kings who would exploit their own people, as demonstrated when he brought down the corrupt lords of Lido and Sui on his seventeenth birthday. He is also a shrewd individual and can come off as very intimidating and manipulative when he wants to, which was demonstrated when he arranged to meet Shirayuki while holding official meetings with Zen Wistaria when he deliberately revealed Shirayuki's presence in the meeting room, indicating that he was going to talk with her before dismissing his younger brother. This frustrated Zen greatly, but he had no choice but to obey. After hearing of Shirayuki's history with Prince Raji, he also decided to invite Raji to the castle. Despite his usually serious demeanour, Izana also has a playful side, as he appears to enjoy teasing Zen about his feelings towards Shirayuki. When Mitsuhide confronted him about how he was testing Zen and Shirayuki, he smilingly tells Mitsuhide Rouen to stand next to him by the window, a movement that reveals to Zen who was walking outside that Izana and Mitsuhide had been talking in private. He then responds with a cheery, "Oops, looks like our rendezvous has been discovered." and walks off. This incident naturally irritates Zen, which in turn made Mitsuhide a little flustered. When he first returned to the castle, he did not inform Zen, who was away at the time, of his return. The castle guards were also presumably under orders to keep this information from Zen. When Zen confronted him about this, he simply said that he was testing how much attention Zen paid to the going-on in the castle. When Izana set off for Lilias, he also did not tell Zen about where he was going even when Zen asked him. Izana also tends to conceal his identity from others during their first meeting, preferring to maintain some semblance of anonymity. This could be seen when he signalled to Ryuu not to tell Shirayuki about his identity, and also later when he took on the alias Lowen (which is Mitsuhide's name) while in Lilias, claiming to be Garak Gazelt's assistant to observe freely. He is also shown to be both observant and nimble, being able to eavesdrop on Zen and Shirayuki's conversation without being detected. He later noticed Obi, who was hidden in a tree and was able to catch Obi off guard, throwing a sharp stone that caused a cut on Obi's face and disappearing from sight immediately. He was also able to vanish from Mitsuhide's sight after turning a corner despite the fact that Mitsuhide was looking for him and later surprised Mitsuhide by revealing that he was leaning against the wall just next to Mitsuhide all along. Izana has a tendency to appear at unexpected moments, his presence completely unnoticed by others until he reveals it.
