Characters:

Alice: A former prisoner of the Knights of Rust, who turned her into their Crowned Puppet, a mindless weapon for their false king. After escaping and spending some time on the run, she regains some of her lost memories and attempts to start a peaceful new life. She returns to her hometown of Evergreen Village, but finds out it was turned into an army camp for the Iron Crusaders. Her new friend, Talia, assures her the war between them and Knights of Rust are over, but is recaptured instead. Now their leader, Gloria, wants to use her as a pawn to continue fighting again. 

Gloria: A horrible woman who wants control above all else. She recognizes Alice as the Crowned Puppet before the haunted woman lost her memories and escaped her captors. Now Gloria plots to use Alice as "evidence" for her superiors to continue fighting a meaningless war. All for the sake of never losing control over the territory the Iron Crusaders stole from Evergreen Village. Only Talia, a combat medic, and her former assistant plan on turning against her. Everyone else is afraid of her mysterious supernatural powers, and the consequences of angering their corrupt leader.

Jaden: An assistant pastor who regrets doing nothing while his employer rules the camp with an iron fist. He knows that Gloria believes that everything she does is right, and has no plans on changing her mind. Thankfully, he's also aware of where the head pastor's power comes from, and how to defeat her, even though the task is very difficult. Unfortunately, that plan involves Alice, and only Talia is allowed to visit her while under the watchful eye of Gloria. Like it or not, he'll have to start going under his employer's back in order to make things right.

Talia: A combat medic who hides her fear and disgust for the Iron Crusaders under a collected mask. However, being forced to work with Gloria is starting to break down her emotional walls. She doesn't want to end up like the rest of her victims, but the tired soldier can't help but feel regret for joining the Crusaders in the first place. Even if she spent most of her time healing people, Talia knows the crimes the army committed will never be fixed. She starts to struggle hard not to have thoughts of revenge around her "glorious leader". It's easier than feeling powerless and burying her emotions, but will this new drive lead to rebirth or ruin?
