Princess Inyang is the only daughter of the king, born to a concubine. Her presence in the royal household is minimal, and she is largely overlooked by her father. The king values her only for her ceremonial role as a Daughter of Water, leaving her with little personal power or influence.
Quiet, observant, and bound by tradition, Inyang’s life is defined by her status, and she navigates the palace and village with a mix of resignation and cautious awareness of her limited agency.
