Taesang, Star Prince of the Imperial Myeon Dynasty
His Serene Highness, Star Prince Taesang Myeon
Fourth son of the Emperor, Taesang is perhaps the gentlest and shyest of his brothers. Drawn to long rides by himself, his private garden, and poetry, he is far from the confrontational leader his father expects of his sons. However, he is a kind and devoted boy, and those who know him well can't help but be fond of him.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Large and muscular, with a much-envied trim waist and broad shoulders. He is golden tan from hours spent gardening and playing with his dogs.
Facial Features
Strong, straight eyebrows and sparkling round eyes, coupled with a strong jaw and boyish snaggletoothed smile, have made Taesang subject of much admiration and envy. His mouth is smallish and set in a natural smile, and his nose straight with a slight hook, his face framed by wavy caramel-colored hair that falls to the small of his back.
Physical quirks
He's left-handed, subject of much trouble from swordplay instructors and calligraphy teachers. He holds himself as if trying to make himself appear smaller.
Apparel & Accessories
Taesang wears the Star Crown, as is his right, and when Enhwan is wed, he will receive the Moon Crown.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Taesang was born to the emperor's second concubine on the twenty-seventh day of the first month. He was named a main branch son of the Imperial Seat of Heaven, and granted the title of the Ocean Prince of the Imperial Myeon Dynasty.
He was raised by his mother in her pavilion of the Imperial Palace, granted all the luxury of his station, and once he reached the age of five, was handed over to a Bishop of Myeon for tutoring.
He quickly became known as a dutiful and well-mannered child, eager to learn and please people. His earnest nature allowed many of his tutors to overlook his clumsiness, although that diminished as he grew into his limbs. He particularly excelled at art and horsemanship, and happily spent his days romping the grounds with his dogs.
Then the court was thrown into uproar by Yunzhe's abdication. Taesang, only sixteen at the time, was pulled in a dozen different directions — Yunzhe was arguably his favorite brother, but his desire to please his father had the young prince torn.
At the end of the ordeal, Taesang had the title of Star Prince thrust upon him, along with a slew of new responsibilities and duties. He retreated into his gardens and his beloved dogs, overwhelmed, and refused to accompany his elder brothers to University when the opportunity arose.
The Treaty came about, and Taesang found himself suddenly betrothed.

Education
Taesang, as a prince of Myeon, was given the best education possible. He declined to attend university like his brothers, favoring his private tutoring under Bishop Doyeong and various court ministers. Since he was four years old, he has been trained in Sheorekan Etiquette and Deportment, Art, Music, History, Combat and Chivalry, Horsemanship, and various other subjects. When he was fifteen, he snuck out once a week to receive gardening lessons from the palace's head gardener, Seyun.
