Tearmoon Empire

 * 1) Anne Littstein - Before Mia was executed, Anne was one of the few people who came to visit Mia until the execution date. Mia wants to repay the favor, so she promotes Anne to her Maid-in-Waiting during Mia’s do-over. As Mia's maid, Anne is also her right hand and confidante.
 * 2) Ludwig Hewitt - Before Mia was executed, Ludwig worked tirelessly trying to save the doomed empire.  Ludwig hated Mia, but he still stuck around trying to help her rebuild the empire. When being around her long enough, he noticed how Mia was just oblivious to things and she would put in efforts to change herself if someone had pointed out her oblivions. After he scolded her for not remembering her classmate's face, he found her notebook with people's names and faces. Another time after they were driven out of a village, Mia asked for a cake to share with the angry villagers. In that moment, Ludwig realized that Mia wasn't entirely selfish. He knew Mia deserved a second chance as a reward for her dedication, thus he begged Sion to spare her life. Although he failed, he  wished that if there was another timeline, he'd be there for Mia and guide her. After her execution, Ludwig refused to serve either Sion and Tiona, and he disappeared from political world ever since. In Mia's do-over timeline, Mia seeks him out in order to have his ideas be utilized to change the future. To make Mia empress and paving her the road to glory, Ludwig gathers his fellow pupils and forms the Empress Faction which later rivals factions of the four dukes. The current Ludwig pledges his loyal to Mia, not because of her wisdom or intelligence, but because of her essence as a person.
 * 3) Elise Littstein - Before Mia was executed, Elise wrote a story titled “The Poor Prince and the Golden Dragon” however, the story was not completed due to Elise dying during the plague.  Because Mia enjoyed this story so much, Elise is hired as a Court Author. Elise is also the author of The Chronicles of Saint-Princess Mia, a supposedly non-fiction work that contains many fictional and delusional stories of Mia that even Mia herself cringes at its contents sometimes.
 * 4) Dion Alaia: A knight who beheaded Mia in the previous timeline. In the current timeline, he is loyal to Mia and aims to become a general for her sake. Even though he hangs around Mia just for fun as an excuse, Dion truly is loyal to Mia and proclaims to the the Sword of Her Highness. At first, Mia doubts Dion's loyalty because she fears for her dear head, but after he has saved her many times, she grows to trust him despite still lowkey afraid of him.
 * 5) Wagul Lulu: A dying boy whom Mia saved on the street. As gratitude, he gives Mia a hairpin that belonged to his mother. He has a crush on Mia.
 * 6) Cyril Rudolvon: Younger brother of Tiona whom she praises and tries to secure his future invention for famine. Tiona confirmed that Cyril has a crush on Mia.

Scions of Four Dukes

 * Esmeralda Etoile Greenmoon: Esmeralda is Mia's best friend. While they got along well in the past timeline, the "redo" Mia saw Esmeralda as someone she considered "We're friends, I guess", prior to Volume 5. Esmeralda believes Mia to be her best friend, despite knowing it is just her being one-sided about it in the friendship. The reason for Mia's hostile attitude towards Esmeralda is because Esmeralda and her family betrayed Mia in the previous timeline. In the current timeline, Esmeralda enjoys teasing and humiliating Mia in front of others, but she also looks up to Mia greatly since they were younger. She gets defensive when Sapphias badmouthing Mia. When it comes to Mia, Esmeralda feels like an older sister and cousin to her. Esmeralda never misses Mia's birthday parties and she is supportive of Mia no matter what. Mia realizes that Esmeralda is actually a good friend and the thought of losing her makes her cry. Esmeralda is the first Etoile to pledge her loyalty oath. Even though Esmeralda is a chicken at heart, she is willing to risk herself to protect Mia if danger looms.
 * Sapphias Etoile Bluemoon: Sapphias offers to help Mia win the election by using dirty tricks in exchange for a seat in the student council, but she refuses and it makes him angry and depressed after all the confident he wrote to his fiancée that he has joined the Student Council. Mia belives Sapphias and his family are a part of Chaos Serpents, so she invites him to the student council to observe him and he is thankful for that without knowing her true intention. Sapphias, along with the other three eldest children of dukes, pledge their loyalty oath to Mia with Rafina as a witness.
 * Ruby Etoile Redmoon: In the previous timeline, Ruby resented Mia for Vanos' death. In the current timeline, Ruby challenges Mia in the Horsemanship Tournament in exchange for Vanos. After the tournament, Mia realizes Ruby is in love with Vanos, so she assigns Ruby to become an adjutant of the Princess Guard just so Ruby can be close to her crush. Along with the fellow oldest children of dukes, Ruby pledges her oath of loyalty to Mia.
 * Citrina Etoile Yellowmoon: With all the evidence Ludwig has gathered, Mia believes Citrina to a serpent because of the Yellowmoon's association with the first emperor and Chaos Serpent. However, that doubt evaporates once she learns that Citrina is knowledgeable about mushrooms, and her logic is that people who love mushrooms aren't bad, so she decides to trust Citrina. When things come to light, Mia pardons the Yellowmoon father-daughter. Along with the other three children of dukes on the week of Mia's 14th birthday celebration, Citrina pledges her loyalty oath to Mia.

Love Interests

 * Abel Remno: In the previous timeline, Mia had no involvement with Abel. She only knew his existence as a prince and the fact he was a womanizer. In the current timeline, Mia chooses Abel to be her target for romance (specifically out of selfishness and fear of guillotine death) in hope his kingdom will help her fight Sunkland in the revolution if it ever breaks out again. Mia, although self-proclaims to be the "older sister" in their romantic exchanges, she always get flustered whenever Abel throws cheesy lines at her or when they are engages in P.D.A. . Mia says to herself that she chooses Abel to be her future husband and during the Shipwreck Arc, Mia acknowledges that Abel's trust is important to her and his kingdom's well-being is also important because it is his homeland. Abel is willing to protect Mia no matter what, and he wants her to depend on him more. Abel considers Mia to be his dearest person and in the timeline where Mia dies during Holy Eve, Abel becomes devastated and eventually meets his end. Abel is obviously in love with Mia and as for Mia, romantic love seems to be rising in her when it comes to Abel, but she has yet confirmed it herself. Abel can be jealous when Mia dances with Sion, but he understands it is her choice and is supportive of it. Mia hopes he expresses his true feelings more, but his considering affection only makes her heart beat harder for him. Both Mia and Abel flirt with each other whenever they get together (even in public), making it it awkward for those who have to witness it.  In the future, Mia will have 8 kids with Abel and to her dismay, Mia believed it is too much and she rejected such future which resulted in Miabel's disastrous future. Mia later accepts her fate, saying she will give birth to all 8 kids for Miabel to exist.
 * Sion Sol Sunkland: In the previous timeline, Mia was infatuated with Sion, believing that they were meant to be together because of their statuses as prince and princess of powerful nations, even though she never loved him. Sion despised her, and his uncountable rejections humiliated Mia greatly. During the revolution, he was one of the two people who sent her straight to the guillotine, causing Mia to feel bitter about what he did back then. After many (failed) attempts at getting revenge, she chooses to forgive Sion. Her grudges against Sion has already evaporated . Mia thinks of Sion as a dear friend and she treasures their current friendship.  Sion likes teasing Mia, and she would tease him back. Sion knew Abel likes Mia and he gives Abel some pushes here and there, but he himself is also in love with her.

Mia often goes to Rafina's tea parties and they get along fairly well, but Mia fears Rafina's wrath sometimes. As Mia's friend, Rafina wants Mia to rely on her and seeks for her help, but Mia always throws herself in danger alone, which saddens Rafina.
 * Keithwood: Mia relies on Keithwood to help her make horse-sandwiches for Abel with the girls during Swordsmanship Tournament, resulting in Keithwood's chronic trauma and frequent heart attacks when he sees the girls in the kitchen or suggesting to cook for the princes. Keithwood is impressed that Mia is knowledgeable about edible plants and herbs, but her strange obsession with mushrooms gives him too many questions to ponder.
 * Chloe Forkroad: Mia's book friend and a member of the student council. She trusts Chloe greatly and Chloe is the friend she never had in the previous timeline.
 * Tiona Rudolvon: Mia's enemy who sent her to the guillotine in the previous timeline. In the second timeline, they are friends and Tiona respects Mia. Although Mia had ill thoughts of Tiona and wished nothing to with her, she grew to not dislike having Tiona around after they've been through so much together as allies. Tiona gathers supporters and promotes Mia during the presidential election along with Mia's admirers. Mia makes Tiona a part of her student council team. Mia remembers how she bullied Tiona in the previous timeline and feels guilty about it.

After the Holy Eve incident, Mia sees Tiona as a true friend.
