I get there's a lot of crosstagging on insta, but why is the ENTIRE FUCKING KALLEN KASLANA TAG FILLED WITH ELYSIA. THERE'S MORE ELYSIA (AND KIANA) PICS IN HER TAG THEN KALLEN HERSELF.
And it isn't just her either. Wanna look at Sakura? Elysia! How about Seele or Bronya? Elysia! Fucking Otto Apocalypse? Elysia! IT'S ALL ELYSIA. I get it, instagram has a LOT of crosstagging. That's just how it is. But you can't look at a single Honkai tag without seeing AT LEAST 10 pictures of Elysia. Admittedly, Kiana has invaded the tags a lot, too. But despite being the protagonist, I still don't see her as much as Elysia. Even Kiana herself's tag has been invaded by Elysia (though thankfully not as much as other characters.)
BUT HOLY SHIT I'M SO TIRED OF SEEING HER UGLY PINK FACE EVERYWHERE I GO. IF I COULD KICK ANY HONKAI CHARACTER, I WOULD KICK HER. AND THE THING IS, I DONT EVEN HATE HER THAT MUCH (Yet. I'm getting very close) BUT EVERY TIME I SEE HER, I LIKE HER LESS AND LESS.

Okay so I would absolutely LOVE to hear more about this book series. Switching genres between books? Hecking genius we love those vibes. Anyways feel free to ramble about any and all the things you want to talk about to do with them, I'd LOVE to hear about it!
I LOVE it when someone gives me an excuse to ramble.
So basically the main character is Ophelia and the story is very centric around her but her love interest Kallen is like a secondary main character, whatever you would call that.
So the plot of the first book is centered mainly around their relationship developing, but also the politics of the world with a toe dip into the magic system. So at the start she is married to someone else, but divorce is treated very flippantly in their culture, so marriage is usually for political reasons and at the end of the day doesn't really matter, and her husband, Leo, is basically a serial divorcer, he marries a girl, then divorces her after a few years and marries someone 'better'. So at this point they have been married for a few years and she just knows he's about to drop her.
The opening scene is a ball (boy do I love me a good ball) and is where she meets the prince, aka Kallen, aka the man who is about to become clinically insane about her (in a good way). So he is like immediately drawn to her and he asks her to dance (because her dumb husband wont dance with her) and like instantly love at first sight on his end, so he gets SOOO disappointed when he realizes that not only is she married but also to a garbage human. This will bother him forever.
So Leo ends up divorcing her for someone younger (ew, he is in his mid thirties, Ophelia is like 22-23, his new wife is like 18, we hate his guts) and Ophelia doesn't have any money for herself, and she really doesn't want to go back home to her mother (her mother is also a terrible person) so when Kallen finds this out he offers for her to become his sister's lady in waiting, so now she lives in the palace with him and his family (which consists of him, his sister, his aunt, and his cousin, the latter two will be very plot relevant). The romance is not what I would call a fast burn, but its also not at all a slow burn, but a main point of their developing relationship is that she feels unworthy of being loved because of her history (which wasn't her fault but that self deprecation is REAL) and she also won't let herself commit to loving him because a future with him means being queen, because his aunt is currently queen regent and he can't become king until he marries, so that puts a lot of pressure on her. She has a hard time grasping the concept of real love wont get tired of you after a little while.
So eventually when she finally opens herself up to love and be loved she can't really commit because of the aforementioned issues, like they are courting (or more like just kissing eachother when people aren't looking) but she has a lot of relationship insecurity. So, because he loves her so much and wants her to understand it, he asks her to soul bind with him (working title, havent though of anything better) but basically in this universe its like marriage premium edition, but sometimes is done between friends and family members on very very rare occasions. It's a ceremony where each person gives up a part of their soul and it gets put into a gemstone for the other to keep (usually worn as necklaces, which is the necklace she has on in the picture) and the consequences of ending the relationship are severe afterword, maybe death havent decided, but its like a serious commitment, and its rarely done anymore.
And throughout all of this there is a plot against him and several attempts on her life (because it would remove certain someone from power) and also she has to deal with prejudice against her because she isn't from one of the elite families where queens usually come from. Its a whole thing. And in the background of all of this there is a massive rift between the human kingdom and the Fae kingdom that Kallen is trying to patch. (becomes much more plot relevant second book)
and then obviously by the end of the book they are completely and confidently together (they have to be married by the second book for the plot to work lol) and then at the end in the epilogue is where the genre shift is and things get really real really fast
I think what I care most about with her, is having her find herself and become a strong female character (both in the inner strength sense and also can swing a sword sense) while retaining her softness and femininity and relying on her loved ones.
Anyways as much as I would love to explain the entire plot of the second one to you in detail, its getting late and I have to get up early so I'm going to quit here lol
