[Non-Story Chapter] Reference Information: Lilian of Acirema Branch

See Ai-R's Reference Information chapters - Isekai Setting and After the Changes - to get a basic overview of the overall setting and mark down any differences between the changes. In the case of this reference chapter, this will only concern the Lilian of Acirema (LoA) storyline branch and its changes to the characters and settings.

Isekai Setting
War Cares Not Where the Blood Flows: With the ratio of men to women skewered badly by the Bloodline Curse and the survival of the nation at stake, it shouldn't be a surprise that measures where to taken to bolster the flagging strength of Armelian's standing armies. While levies were called forth to fill in gaps, it doesn't take a military genius to know that relying on barely trained and equipped militias would turn out well in the long run. Thus, it was agreed that women population would be allowed to serve - a prospect that was exclusive to the elite and exceptional individuals. This also meant that many noblewomen would be expected to shoulder the burdens of running an army - logistics, unit movements, orders, planning.

This wouldn't really have an impact for our freshly minted person that is Lilian of Acirema, but who knows what it could mean when it comes to potential friends and foes now that she's the soon to be Consort-King of the Queen and Princess.

Demonic Magic and You: To borrow some lore from another branch, there's surprisingly little difference between what the clergy and scholars argue as "normal" or "human" magic versus perceived "demonic" magic. While there is corrupting influences and the likes within demonic spells, those are a consequence of the person casting those spells and not inherent in the spells' structure. Unfortunately, due to understandable caution and stigmata, none of the clergy and scholars know of this fact, only archiving known demonic spells and their effects over truly studying them.

For example, the spell that Arma uses to grow a functioning male genital on Lilian. Found in in the Clergy's archival records of demonic spells (a location that should be, by all rights, be tightly secured and exclusive to only the most trusted of the clergy), it was believed to be a dangerous spell that would turn any recipient female into a barely functioning prostitute; eager to breed whatever women they could find. However, the spell actual nature is purely physical - it does nothing to modifying the recipient's psychology or mood.

The only reason why the spell was labeled dangerous was because the caster, a disguised demon, had sought to sow chaos in the rural frontier villages that neighbored nearby nations. The demon's intent and general attitude towards humans led to the spell turning female victims into promiscuous and sexually-active harassers. If the person casting it had been someone like a comedic personality who means well, then the affected women would still be themselves albeit now sporting both reproductive organs.

In the case of Princess Arma and her use of the penis growth spell, its no surprise her class and personality would imbue particular influences into the spell. This is not helped by some of the traits Lilian inherited from James, such as his lust for women and his libido - though thankfully, being a native to this world, Lilian does sport a measure of resistance against magic and thus can avoid succumbing entirely to the spell's effects. Also helps that spell only is cast during sex and is surprisingly short-lived, only lasting one ejaculation before either fading away or needing to be refreshed by the caster.

Lilian of Acirema (LoA)
Age, Gender: 22 y/o, female
Societal Status: Future Consort-King of the Kingdom of Armelia; former peasant girl of the village Acirema.
Class: -error-
Innate Traits:

• As a previous target of the phone; Lilian is immune to its effects, and any non-situational aspects of her Prompt will remain unchanged regardless of any attempts made with the phone. If she's in another room and changes the location, she will remain at the same relative distance. If she's in the same room, this will remain the case even if the room changes, but she will not notice in either case. She cannot be directly or indirectly changed by the phone, even if the resulting change is simply a matter of her relative proximity to the device.
• Her magic phone will tend to find its way back to her, inheriting the device from one of her identities. The conditional that she must still be herself remains the case, however.
• She is aware her phone can only be used once per subject, and is fully resolved to be more discerning in its use; especially given the consequences that one of her old identities as wrought on the kingdom.
• Despite her mind and soul merging with an outsider not of this world, her body is still native to this world. Thus, Lilian has resistance towards magic and its effects on her - a boon given her circumstances.
• Unfortunately, Lilian also inherited James's trauma of stairs, much to the chagrin of the new identity. While self-aware of the trauma, it doesn't stop the affects it has on her mind.
• Stair-related trauma aside, the new Lilian has also inherited some of James history and mannerisms - barely tempered lust for women, nights of learning how to 'entertain' others with her body, and a thinly restrained libido that rivals even the horniest of demons to exist. There's more, but the new identity is slowing discovering them, bit by bit. For good or ill, who knows?

Background Notes: Formerly both James Jordanson and Lilian Paran, this new person finds herself in a situation that technically is of her doing. While she still remembers details of the world before the changes, general knowledge of both Earth and Armelia, and of now vague memories of James's life, she is ultimately a new identity created from the merging of the two people's minds and souls. While she retains Lilian intellect and inherited some of James' less desirable traits, the merging and tag swaps surprisingly created a kindhearted and beneficent village girl.

With the power of the phone and her capabilities of her old identities, Lilian of Acirema seeks to correct her predecessor's mistakes for the sake of the people, and to assuage the guilt she had inherited from James over what had been done towards the royal family.

Assuming that is, she survives the dangers that lurk in the shadows and behind every corner in the kingdom.

Arma Armelia (LoA)
Age, Gender: 22 yr/old female.
Societal Status: Heir-Apparent to the Kingdom of Armelia.
Class: Princess-Whore
_Opinion of Lilian: _The first girl she's lain with: a wonderful person with excellent endurance and interesting ideas. She'd like to think their meeting was fated, and so is very partial to the former peasant.
Innate Traits:

• As a previous target of the phone; Arma is immune to its effects, and any non-situational aspects of her Prompt will remain unchanged regardless of what Lilian does with the phone. If she's in another room and changes the location, Arma will remain at the same relative distance. If Arma is in the same room, this will remain the case even if the room changes, but she will not notice in either case. She cannot be directly or indirectly changed by the phone, even if the resulting change is simply a matter of her relative proximity to Lilian.
• Innately kind and good-natured. A somewhat naive romantic who thinks the best in people.
• She doesn't think much of her subclass being 'Whore' - the transactional nature of it as a 'profession' is alien to her: in this Arma's world, the notion that a woman would drive away a partner by demanding he provide compensation before coupling is bizarre and offensive in and of itself.
• Consequently this Arma is... not particularly monogamous, as she sees marriage as an outdated and - given the situation with the nobility - even detrimental tradition. Still, she is willing to reserve herself if her partner wishes, as she does not believe the parents of a child should feud or part from one another.
• Running into Lilian has, however, made her highly infatuated with the blonde. Be it a result of the phone attempt to reconcile things between James and the original Lilian, it is unknown. Regardless, it does mean that Lilian's voice is will the one she listens to when the situation calls for it, even over her own mother.
• She has exceptional magical talent: 'freak of nature' levels, and is quite aware of it due to how easily everyone she's ever plied her talents upon has fallen under her sway. That said, she doesn't consider her flavor of magic to be something worth calling 'powerful' as 'it's just sex, after all,' and so she does not see any of the darker possibilities to this type of power.
• She has also sought to learn of spells that could help in her "trade", which led to her sneaking into the clergy's archives and learning of a demonic penis growth spell, among a few other spells of note. Combined with her exceptional magical talent and how it interacts with her subclass, there's a subtle feedback loop with every cast of a demonic spell used for sexual activities. Not enough to put Arma at risk of danger, but the possibility grows with every use.

Background Notes: When her subclass became 'Whore' during her coming-of-age rite instead of the traditional (and expected) 'Priestess' she had to research the word, to her mother's amusement. The clergy considered it a sign of the Kingdom's damnation, but did not raise much of a fuss over it due to the similar classes appearing sooner amongst older members of the nobility (such as Arma's mother). As for the nobility, an attempt was made at using it to defame Arma by framing her as a needy and selfish woman who would demand too much from a man to be satisfied, but this went nowhere.

Artelle Armelia (LoA)
Age, Gender: 41 yr/old female
Societal Status: Queen-Regnant of the Kingdom of Armelia. Arma's mother.
Class: Slut-Queen.
Opinion of Lilian: The auspicious father of her second child, and her dear daughter's first romantic interest: a young peasant girl with a sharp intellect and surprising skill in using a male genitalia. A person she should be careful to shepherd lest the vipers of the nobility eat her alive.
Innate Traits:

• As a previous target of the phone; Artelle is immune to its effects, and any non-situational aspects of her Prompt will remain unchanged regardless of what Lilian does with the phone. If she's in another room and changes the location, Artelle will remain at the same relative distance. If she's in the same room, this will remain the case even if the room changes, but she will not notice in either case. She cannot be directly or indirectly changed by the phone, even if the resulting change is simply a matter of her relative proximity to Lilian.
• From her birth, she was already a slut. The revelation of her primary class during her coming-of-age came to no one's surprise.
• An exceptionally promiscuous and sexually open woman. The only principle and concern she holds is her family's continuation and safety. As a result, her only moderating factor with the departure of her husband is the consequences that may fall upon her daughter if she acts too recklessly.
• Her husband's **** at the frontlines against the demons affects her greatly, but the Queen takes measure to conceal the grief lest the less loyal noble houses act upon a possible weakness. But with sudden entry of Lilian into her life, Artelle feels a bit of her life coming back bit by bit with every hour spent with the blonde.
• To the clergy's dismay, Princess Arma takes after her mother a great deal.

Background Notes: The individual who would normally become Artram Armelia, born here as a woman due to the Bloodline Curse, and significantly different in personality and outlook due to reasons unknown. She presents a careless and laissez-faire front, but is actually quite politically savvy even if she'd much rather step away from the game entirely. Whatever queenly behavior she exhibits is entirely for the sake of Arma's well-being and happiness... but if she can have in the process of furthering her family's interests, so much the better.

Cheryl of Woodvale (LoA)
Age, Gender: 20 yr/old female.
Societal Status: Arma's Handmaid, a Servant of House Armelia. Arma's official secret bodyguard.
Class: Maid
Innate (?) Traits:

• A plot-point for authors to choose or opt out of: the phone may find targeting and affecting Cheryl to be somewhat difficult in LoA.
• Prone to daydreaming, bouts of forgetfulness, as well as the occasional mood-swing. A classic airhead to the outside observer.
• Exceptionally self-conscious regarding the aforementioned point.
• For reasons she can't fathom, the castle's lesser nobility finds her unnerving and prefers to avoid her.
• A part of her warns caution when it comes to Lilian, even if the blonde is genuinely affable and benevolent. Whether it was because of the two identities that merged into the new Lilian, or that she still possesses the phone, Cheryl leaves that to anyone's imagination. So as long the Princess and Kingdom are safe, then Lilian can be trusted.
• Trust is fragile commodity, however.

Background Notes: As per her class and role, she's always been the first on-call when Princess Arma is the subject of duties. Cleaning her chambers, fetching tea, laundering her belongings, or simply keeping her company. As Arma's only positive relationship beyond her mother, the Princess once declared, "It seems we're the only two people in this castle to be honest with each other," but something about that sentiment makes Cheryl feel ill inside, although she can't place why: it's not like she remembers telling Arma any lies, after all.
