Arsha

Arsha appears as a tall and striking young woman. Her eyes are brown, her black hair falls long and wavy, and her figure is full and curvaceous.

Sly yet disarming, Arsha rarely drops her soft smile and can bend people to her will through speech alone. Beneath the courtesy lies cold calculation. She holds little real regard for those she works with and steers them toward her own goals without guilt, as when she coaxed Lee Minsung into handing over more Stardust and then reacted with flat indifference to news of his death. Opportunism never leaves her: she boosted Tiel's Stardust supply purely to draw him into an alliance. Her fellow future Monarchs, by contrast, receive warmth and respect, treated almost as kin, and she softens around children, savoring the thought that the whole group will ascend to become Monarchs together.

Ranking among the nine Monarchs and reigning as Queen of Insects, Arsha commands tremendous power. Her arsenal spans mana manipulation and necromancy, while her grasp of biokinesis affords her shapeshifting, regeneration, and self-cloning, and she can open gates as well. The novel grants her one further trait: from her own body she can produce royal jelly, a secretion that, eaten by a hunter over a long enough stretch, slowly converts that person into a magic beast of the insect variety, although whether her webtoon incarnation shares the same power has not yet been revealed.
