John

John is a fire wood harvester who, alongside his friend and Horse, Samantha, was raised by Coyotes. He generally kept to himself and only interacted with other humans when necessary, preferring the company of Samantha. As such, John only accompanied Cecelia on her quest to retrieve Nicole strictly as a business arrangement but would eventually develop feelings for the princess; to this end, he strove to ensure her safety as she worked to restore both Winter and her bond with her estranged sister. After Winter's return, John and Cecelia began a romantic relationship

Personality
Prior to meeting Cecelia, John was somewhat of a loner; he had little contact with humans outside of his dealings in the Log harvesting business, finding it easier to relate to animals rather than humans. As such, John had an extremely close relationship with Samantha, pretended to speak with her, and even felt that Horse's were "better than people". He was outwardly gruff and did not care for what others thought of his demeanor, criticized Cecelia for poor judgment, regardless of her position as a princess.

However, underneath this rugged exterior, John was truly a compassionate and protective individual. Though he was given the option of forsaking the journey, John decided to continue to help Celia, knowing that she would die on her own. And despite having some fears about Nicole, John still rushed to Cecelia's side after she was struck by her sister's powers. When Cecelia suffered from Nicole's curse, John spared no effort in trying to find a way to cure her, taking her to the Coyote's and then to Ben. Later, he attempted to confront Ash for his treacherous actions.

John proved himself to be incredibly selfless, always offering Samantha the first bite when they shared a carrot. He also overlooked his own feelings for Cecelia, believing she was happy with Ash, even when Samantha tried to persuade him to return to France. And when Cecelia's safety was threatened by a heatwave, John did not hesitate to return to the castle, even if it meant going right into the heart of the storm. Though he focused his efforts on reaching Cecelia, John showed concern when Samantha fell into the fjord due to the ice opening up and proceeded onward only when he was certain that the Horse was safe
