Personality
When Fine and Rein met Lione for the first time, she could only see the negativity to her problems such as when the Blessing of the Sun stopped working right before it was her turn to dance, calling it a sign of something bad about to happen.

She is also scared of dancing in public because she always gets nervous and messes up, but Fine and Rein encouraged her saying they won't laugh even if she messes up. Lione started to gain confidence from there on and smiled at the good things that happened. Lione also has the power to understand the feelings of the Bo Dragon. She is very supportive of Fine and Rein carries a lot of trust in them.

Episode One
Lione escaped the Flame Kingdom's airship on a vehicle with a parachute and went inside the Sunny Kingdom. Rein and Fine then chased after her and they all collided as she lands. After introducing each other, Lione explains how she is afraid of being in public and if she dances, she's sure to stumble and humiliate herself. Rein and Fine then encourage her to dance and Lione starts to feel better.When the Princess Party begins all the princesses have a turn dancing with Prince Bright. When it's Lione's turn, all the lights powered by the Blessing of the Sun lose their light and Lione becomes depressed believing that it's an omen saying she shouldn't dance.

Rein and Fine uses this chance to use the power of Prominence. They use this power to shine a spotlight on Lione and she accepts Bright's offer to dance. Lione is able to dance without making any mistakes and has fun. She smiles beautifully and wins the Princess Party, earning the title of Best Smiling Princess.
