Who are the characters in the webtoon *Shadow and Light*?

The main duo consists of two characters who are complete opposites, and it is precisely this contrast that makes the romance so compelling.

• Edna : a gentle but courageous maid, forced to assume her mistress's identity. She must constantly lie to survive at court.
• Elay : a former farmer who became a warlord, the most feared man in the kingdom. He is the one Edna is supposed to marry.

Alongside this couple, four supporting characters add depth to the plot:

• Kaiden : the young king, whose reputation remains fragile. Playful and lacking in self-confidence, he confides a great deal in Elay and is seeking to establish itself with greater fairness toward its people.
• MacFadden : the faithful companion of’Elay. Both impulsive and emotional, he expresses his feelings openly, but his loyalty never wavers.
• Chris : the guard from’Edna. This young warrior is very attached to her and doesn't hesitate to lie to protect her.
• Kian : knight under the command of’Elay and commander of the Duke’s troops. Talented, discreet, and level-headed, he seems to have guessed the true identity of’Edna.
