Thane Bauer

Thane Bauer (Also: Sein Bauer) is a recurring character in "I'm in Love with the Villainess".

Appearance
Sein has long, flowing silver hair and often is shown skulking. His emotions are very visible from when is contemplating or upset. Because of his attitude, he can often times come across as unapproachable.

Personality
Due to the personalities of his siblings, he is often overshadowed leading him to have an inferiority complex. He is essentially weak to people who with higher ability than him. Hoping to prove himself, he oftentimes looks dull in comparison to his talented family. Unlike the perceived flawlessness of the other two princes, his character is more grounded and relatable. His inner conflict is similar to the vulnerability Claire holds but never shows.

Sein is introspective and takes his role as a potential king seriously. He has shown to be a delicate person as he aims to understand the people he would rule. Although he finds playing the harp to be pleasant, it comes secondary in priority to his royal duties.

Background
Prince Sein is the middle sibling and second in line for the crown should something prevent Prince Rod from ascending. Despite the inferiority complex, Sein demonstrates reasonable ability with effort. Without the context of his siblings, he would be outstanding to most people, not including Rei, Misha, and Claire. Of the three princes, Sein is the least popular among both the gamers and people in his world.
