History
As an Imperial Guard, Bronzar is forbidden to speak candidly or be overly familiar with the empress, yet he sees her grief and loneliness and has the instinct to alleviate it in some way. She senses this, and appreciates the tiny gestures he dares to make. Despite or perhaps because of this subtle connection, they exasperate each other when his professional brusqueness clashes with her more lighthearted attitude.
(Also insert a ton of spoilers here.)Nicknames & Petnames
Bronzar is very careful to always address her with the proper formality as "Milady," "Your Excellency," "Your Imperial Majesty," or simply "ma'am." The longer titles get more use when he needs to remind himself who she is, and how he must behave in her presence.
History
Bronzar had looked forward to fatherhood for awhile, but when Zenni was born it was even better than he thought it would be. Whether it was buying and setting up a toy train, taking him to the playground, nursing him through sickness, or chasing away monsters under the bed, Bronzar threw all of himself into being the best dad he could be. Since Zenni's mother, Izenra, was uninterested in parenting at best, and resentful at worst, Bronzar's involvement was even more crucial. The pain of his mother's rejection still haunts Zenni, but he adores his dad and knows how lucky he is to have him. Bronzar's busy schedule makes it increasingly challenging to spend quality time with his son, but it's a high priority so he always finds a way, even if it takes some personal sacrifice. Bronzar is a stickler for rules, especially where safety is concerned. He has to consciously pull back sometimes to avoid smothering Zenni. He can be quite stern when he needs to discipline his son, but never unfair or mean-spirited. Zenni also knows that his dad thinks the world of him and won't stay angry for long.
History
They met in Eralax in their freshman year of high school, and started dating in the summer between their sophomore and junior years. When they both decided to attend Shalanera University, Bronzar suggested they could rent a house together. She agreed, but the plans snowballed until they decided to get married before leaving their hometown. They had a small wedding in a park soon before moving to Shalanera, where they rented the ground floor of a two-story duplex near the Shal-U campus. Bronzar was ready to grow up and put his nose to the grindstone, earning a double major while pursing his dream job with the Imperial Guard. Izenra was content to take a few classes while working as a server at a sports bar near Slicers Stadium, and spending most of her free time partying. This disconnect in priorities began to put strain on their relationship, but he hoped she would get it out of her system and mature eventually. After Bronzar passed the extensive training required to join the Imperial Guard, he felt his life was on course and wanted to start their family. Izenra balked, knowing a baby would throw a wrench in her lifestyle. He eventually wore her down, and she agreed to become pregnant, hoping that instincts and hormones would turn her into the mother she had never really wanted to be. For a few years, Bronzar (and babysitters they couldn't really afford) raised Zenni while Izenra mostly ignored their son in favor of nights spent at dance clubs. In a heated confrontation on Zenni's fourth birthday, Izenra snapped that she never wanted a child in the first place. Zenni heard her and was heartbroken. That was the last straw as far as Bronzar was concerned. After the divorce was final and Izenra had signed over full custody to her ex-husband, she moved out of state and hasn't seen or contacted him or Zenni since.
