""Tomorrow, your life changes forever.""
―Cherisa.

Cherisa Oromalis is Suki's adoptive stepcousin. She was the heir presumptive to the throne before ultimately becoming queen.

Appearance[]

Personality[]

Cherisa is strait-laced as her act of high treason is later revealed to have been carried out under duress and in the best interests of Suki but lacking in wisdom.

She is demonstrated to be studious, educated and refined. Similar to Suki she harbors guilt over what she is forced to do. In contrast to Suki and other major characters she is in no way a fighter and does not have combat experience. As queen she is shown to hold noble and just intentions, aspiring to reform the Kingdom she knows is corrupt. Her commitment to this is noted by Suki who comments that Cherisa is a better candidate.

She is shown to be very distressed by being tied up or held captive which is used along with her fear of the dark by Rolina as a means of controlling her.

Story[]

Cherisa was the daughter of Krystina and niece of the queen consort of the royal family. As such she was the heir presumptive to the throne. Before the adoption of noble-blooded orphan Suki, the throne did not have an heir apparent. Cherisa and Suki spent their childhood as best friends; unlike the tomboy Suki she detested combat and preferred to engross herself in books in the castle while Suki played make-belief battles in the garden.

When Suki turned 18 years old, Cherisa was reading a book while half-listening to Suki as she worries over her impending coronation and suitability for being queen. She reassured Suki before leaving for the night, telling Suki that "tomorrow, [her] life changes forever".

Cherisa accompanied Suki on her journey to the coronation, using a common carriage on a side road. She told Suki that because the kingdom received information on a kidnapping attempt by criminals the royal carriage was sent as a decoy on the main road. However, Suki's carriage was stopped by kidnappers; when Suki exited the carriage and confronted the kidnappers, she realized that Cherisa has masterminded the event. Cherisa apologized before knocking out Suki and delivering her to the kidnappers.

For a major part of the story Cherisa remains unseen; her exploits are reported by other characters. Commoners and soldiers speak highly of her as someone who heralded radical changes and economic improvements. In Velis Manor the chambermaid Nataleigh reveals that Queen Cherisa announced Suki dead and the criminals responsible eradicated.

In Ghiaccio Village, Rielle lets slip that Cherisa was being kept in the dark about the situation in Ghiaccio and her mother apparently had significant influence over the affairs of the kingdom, such that she can thwart Cherisa's plans. After leaving Ghiaccio, Suki was informed that Cherisa and her army have been encroaching on the Empire's territory. New taxation laws, prospects of a mining operation in Jormunga Jungle which has agitated the locals for producing weapons and the army recruitment program indicate the Kingdom is preparing for war.

Arriving in Florian Town, Suki spotted Royal Guards and realized that Cherisa was present. Eavesdropping on them, she learns Cherisa was on a diplomatic mission to avert a war between the Kingdom and Empire. She and her group infiltrate the castle and make their way to the royal guest chambers where Suki confronts Cherisa over her kidnapping. Cherisa, surprised to see Suki explains the truth: she is a figurehead as the aristocracy did not approve of Cherisa or Suki, instead flocking to her mother and Cherisa is kept in line through physical punishment meted out by her mother's servant Rolina. Cherisa arranged for Suki's kidnapping to save her from a worse fate as her mother intended to have Suki killed so Cherisa would ascend to the throne. The conversation is interrupted and Suki escapes, leaving Cherisa to deal with the consequences of holding a conversation with Suki out of Rolina's earshot.

Cherisa's penultimate appearance comes in the fortress in the Dark Hills after a second battle with Rolina. Suki enters her chambers to find no one apparently there but knocking is heard from a dresser, and she opens it to find that Rolina made good on her duties as Cherisa is inside bound and gagged. Suki unties her and she directs them to her mother while imploring Suki not to kill her to which Suki agrees.

With her mother defeated Cherisa reclaims the throne, withdraws the army and reconciles with the Empire. Suki decides it is better for her to remain officially dead, having realized Cherisa is a better fit for queen and her reappearance may cause political problems. She decides to leave the Kingdom and begin her journey of atonement to Cherisa's sadness, though she pledges to return once she is satisfied, she has compensated for the misdeeds perpetrated as a member of the guild. Cherisa accepts this and the two-part ways.
