Description
Muhulum Seth Fortna is a main character in the anime Nina the Starry Bride. He is the first prince of the Fortna Kingdom, a position he inherited following the death of his elder half-brother Azure at a young age, before Muhulum was born. He is a young boy, with a small stature that reaches about Nina's waist, and has short black hair and purple eyes. His build has been described by Nina as resembling that of a chubby little rich old man.
Muhulum's personality is initially marked by a mix of arrogance and insecurity. He often puts on a boastful front to hide his inner frailty and feelings of inadequacy. Despite his high rank as first prince, he struggles with the weight of his position and the knowledge that he became heir only because of his brother's death. He deeply admires and cherishes the memory of Azure, looking up to him as an ideal. This admiration extends to Nina, whom he becomes very affectionate towards and looks up to in a similar way. He grows to care for Nina as a true sister, and even after her identity as a substitute for the deceased Princess Alisha is publicly revealed, he continues to refer to her as his one and only sister, never offering the same regard to the real Alisha.
Muhulum's motivations are largely tied to his desire for familial connection and approval. He initially sneaks out of his quarters and meets Nina when she does the same, and the time they spend together helps him become more open about his feelings for his brother. He seeks validation and a sense of belonging within the royal family, which he finds in his bond with Nina. His role in the story is that of a supporting character who provides emotional depth and a sense of continuity within the Fortna royal household. His key relationships are with Azure, his deceased brother whom he idolizes, and with Nina, whom he accepts as a sister figure and protective presence. His development shows him growing more confident and secure as he forms a genuine bond with Nina, allowing him to express his admiration for Azure without reservation. He does not possess notable combat or magical abilities; his significance lies in his personal growth and his unwavering loyalty to those he loves.
