For someone with a name like Bravado, Bravado is... the exact opposite of who you would expect him to be. His parents gave him that name in hopes that it would help him become stronger and fiercer than them, for the sake of both their family, as well as their entire kingdom. It most certainly did not help, in any way.

Luckily for his parents, however, Bravado was quickly set up with a competing kingdom's princess for quite a lot of money and merging of their kingdoms, so in the end, he didn't have to do jack squat for his kingdom. Instead, his headstrong new girlfriend-to-be took over all kinds of political decisions. Despite hating politics, Blissful was amazing at them. In the long run, this really was the best thing for Bravado's kingdom, as it's entire economy was failing and his parents had no idea what they were doing.

Bravado gladly handed over political reign to Blissful, seeing as he preferred to spend his days taking long walks in the mountains, and spending time in his den's approximation of a kitchen. As politics got more and more overwhelming and Blissful's parents became more and more controlling, Bravado found himself spending far more time with her than he had planned. She began accompanying him on walks, and even sulking in the corner of his kitchen while he made yet another kind of pie.

And so the two became closer.
