Background: Wiki link!

Personality: Euphemia comes off as a very simple person upon first meeting. She is cheerful and good natured, even-tempered and forgiving, and she possesses the grace and constitution expected of a person of her status. Especially next to her siblings, she seems complacent, almost demure. Because of all this, because she smiles readily and speaks of idealistic, almost naive things, many take her for a docile puppet princess. In that, they are terribly mistaken. However she may seem, Euphemia is a deeply complex character who is torn between politics, familial loyalties, her own beliefs, and her dreams for the future.

As a princess of the Britannian Empire, it is difficult for Euphemia to express herself as a person. There are many things expected of her, most of which she is helpless but to fulfill. Where her sister Cornelia and brother Schneizel are able and willing to act on the battlefield, Euphemia's nature lends her to a more reserved approach to her royal duties. This has left her with the most figurehead of political acts, mostly in the realm of petty ceremonies where her hand is guided. Though she has always accepted these acts as part of her responsibilities as the Third Princess, she has become increasingly dissatisfied with her role in the world around her.

Meeting Suzaku was likely the catalyst for all this, but her feelings of discontent have been a long way coming. There is a part of her that has never grown up, that has remained suspended in her memories her childhood spent with her siblings back at the Imperial Villa. It was a peaceful time in all of their lives, and she has never stopped longing to be able to return to it. The innocence in those memories is an integral part of her, and it is the very foundation of her idealistic beliefs. It is not that she does not understand the discrimination in the world, but that she refuses to reinforce the idea by putting stock in it. In her refusal to justify the injustices in the world, she does her best not to let it come between her and her choices. She can see very clearly why she is supposed to pick the painting done by the noble's son, but she refuses to accept that it is the right thing to do. She understands all of the risks involved in making Suzaku her Knight, she simply refuses to let them stop her.

The air of delicacy she carries around her is deceptive, as Euphemia is an extremely strong-willed, fearless, and resourceful person. She is much more intelligent and more insightful than most people give her credit for, and she has always been keenly interested in her studies. It is because her approach to things is rather unorthodox that these traits about her easy to miss. She has a very passive approach to bettering the her own life and that of those around her, but she is nonetheless unmovable in what she decides to do.

Despite her circumstances and status nearly suffocating her at every turn, Euphemia is still a deeply loving, optimistic person. That, too, comes with the innocence that her dearest memories lend her. She cares very much for her all of her siblings, especially her dear sister Cornelia and even her estranged half-siblings, Lelouch and Nunnally. She believes with all her heart that the world can be changed without violence, and that there is good in the royal family and the power they possess that only needs help to be brought out.
