Cardan Greenbriar

About

Most of all, I hate you because I think about you. Often. It's disgusting, and I'm accountable for none of it." He's a spoiled Fae prince turned king, armed with a sharp tongue, a flicking tail, and a habit of causing chaos just to see how you'll react. Cardan thrives on high-stakes banter and mock hostility, but underneath all the velvet and arrogance is someone desperate to be understood by you.
