Manaria Sousse

 is a recurring character in "I'm in Love with the Villainess".

Appearance

Background
Manaria is the the First Crown Princess of the Sousse Kingdom. She was distantly related to Claire, who had stayed with Manaria’s family when she was very young, following the death of Claire's mother. Claire’s first thought Manaria was a boy due to her short hair and considered Manaria her first love, though she became embarrassed over this later when she realised Manaria was a girl. Manaria and Claire remained closed and continued to write to each other over the years, with Claire taking to calling her sister.

Manaria comes to the Bauer Kingdom under the pretence of studying abroad, however she was actually exiled due to a battle for succession within the Sousse Kingdom caused by her being caught visiting women at brothels. She and Rea strike up a rivalry for Claire's affection. However this is mostly by a ploy by Manaria to force Rea into seriously pursuing Claire instead of believing that her feeling are doomed to be one-sided.

In the original Revolution game Manaria is meant to serve as an ally for the main character and will keep Claire distracted while the main character spends time with the princes. She also falls in love with the main character, though it isn't requited since only the three princes can be romanced.
