"Saiunkoku Monogatari" Characters

15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  

1. I am the General of the Left Urin Army. I like women, although I've loved only two - one I lost to my brother and the other, who once worked at the Imperial Residence, got left behind at Kyuusai Cove. I have triplets for older brothers and a weird younger brother (please don't ask him to play the flute). I take great pride in my family name although I have willingly discarded it to be a loyal vassal of the Emperor. Who am I? Ran Setsuna Ran Shuuei Ran Ryuuren Ri Kouyuu

2. I work at the Civil Service Ministry and am also one of the Emperor's closest friends. I was adopted by the Kou family and was even offered the position of future head of the family, though I have to marry Shuurei first (like I could ever do that). I often get lost, although it's not my fault, of course. Who am I? Kou Shouka Ran Shuuei Ri Kouyuu Kou Reishin

3. I'm hopelessly in love with a girl who's always busy trying to make a difference in other people's lives. My brothers used to bully me when I was a kid so I was lonely for a long time, although there was one who took good care of me before he was taken away. I often think I have the most difficult job, but I'm convinced now that I can do it. Who am I? Si Seiran Sa Sakujun Shi Senka Shi Ryuuki

4. I was given a sword by the Emperor, who also happens to be my younger brother. I am an excellent fighter and can be scary when I am angry. Some people know me as the 'Little Whirlwind'. I hate seeing Shuurei sad or worried and will protect her with my life if needed. Who am I? Ran Shuuei Shi Ryuuki Si Seiran Rou Ensei

5. I am the leader of the 'Wolves of the Wind', although that's just between you and me. I have an independent daughter who looks just like her mother, a woman who I was supposed to kill but ended up falling in love with. I make a good batch of tea...or so I think. Who am I? Hyou Riou Kou Reishin Kou Shouka Kou Kuro

6. I've served as the governor of Sa Province, although I haven't passed the national exams...yet. I am a good fighter, too, though I wouldn't know what to do with a sword. Who am I? Sa Enjun Rou Ensei Tei Yuushun To Eigetsu

7. I used to be the governor of Sa Province but I was demoted. Still, I am happy, especially now that I know I can live to a ripe old age and be with the girl I love. She's quite possessive and won't have it any other way. Who am I? To Eigetsu Sa Enjun Doshun Rou Ensei

8. Most people think I'm a fool, and sometimes, I think so, too. I'm a keen observer though and I always say what's on my mind. For example, I think that Shuurei is too soft-hearted and that her scary bamboo-shooting family retainer is in love with her, though he'll never admit it. Who am I? Si Seiran Shin Suou Sa Kokujun Ran Ryuuren

9. I wear colorful clothes and go wherever the wind takes me...sometimes, to my bosom friend #1's house. People usually know I'm around when they hear me playing the flute. Who am I? Ran Ryuuren Si Seiran Rou Ensei Shin Suou

10. I am the Prime Minister of Saiunkoku. Some say I am a fool to accept the position but I am wiser than they are. I have an intelligent wife, too. In fact, she's a talented businesswoman and inventor. Who am I? Tei Yuushun Shi Ryuuki Sai Rin Sho-Taishi

11. Like many others at the Imperial Court, I think that the Emperor is a brat who doesn't deserve the throne. I am extremely fond of my niece even if she doesn't know I am her uncle. In fact, I sent her oranges once. I am also the current head of my family, although some people think my brother Kuro is. Who am I? Kou Shouka Kou Reishin Hyou Ruka Tei Yuushun

12. I was originally intended to be the Emperor's bride but I know he is in love with someone else. In fact, I look very similar to the woman he loves. I, too, used to be in love with someone. He was my brother's best friend but he left us both. Who am I? Koucho Kou Shuurei Ran Jyuusan Kourin

13. I tried to poison Shuurei once but that's all behind us now. These days, I am busy taking care of Eigetsu whenever I can pry him away from that annoying man with the colored feathers. Who am I? Sa Shunki Ran Jyuusan Kourin Shusui

14. I am also a member of the Wolves of the Wind, though I am originally from the Hyou clan. I am a good friend of the Emperor and am in love with my 'master' although he takes no notice of it. I have a hard time keeping that man from the Ran family away - not just from me but the court ladies. He is so annoying! Who am I? Sa Shunki Kourin Shokun Shusui

15. I am a daughter from a noble family, although my father and I do not have much money. In fact, our house keeps falling apart. People always say I run at full speed and face my problems head on. Someone also once told me I am a rose with many thorns. I don't mind what people say, though. I will do all I can to serve my Emperor and help my fellow citizens. Who am I? Ran Jyuusan Koucho Shusui Kou Shuurei
