Medea x Roxana

Medea x Roxana is the femslash ship between Medea Solon and Roxana Agrece from the Your Throne and ''Roxana fandoms.

Canon
Medea and Roxana are from two different webtoon series, but share many similarities. Both are the main female protagonists of Korean manhwas in the Romance Fantasy genre, also nicknamed the “Otome Isekai” genre. A key difference between the two is that Roxana is an isekai story with Roxana transmigrating into a novel character, while Your Throne is simply a body-swap.

While Your Throne may not be an isekai, Medea, like Roxana, fits the role of a villainess female lead. Roxana is a clear-cut villainess FL due to being the villainess of the original novel she was transported in. Medea was never directly referred to as a villainess, but fits the role because she has several tropes associated with the villainess FL, such as being seen as unfavorable to the public, having a sympathetic backstory, and being contrasted by a “saintess” character, which is Psyche Callista in this case. One thing of note is that Medea and Roxana have both been associated with butterflies. Roxana’s main weapons are demonic poisonous butterflies she can control, and Medea has been drawn with butterflies on the Naver Series cover, Volume 3 cover, and Season 2 cover.

Due to their villainess roles, Medea and Roxana have several similarities in personality. Both are cunning, manipulative, and ruthless. Both grew up in abusive households that shaped them to be this way. Roxana maintained her humanity thanks to originally being a normal person from the real world, while Medea grew more humane due to the influence of characters like Psyche and Perion. Both also experienced the death of a family figure that were some of the only sources of genuine love in their lives: Roxana’s younger brother Achille, and Medea’s mother figure, her nanny. Fortunately, Medea and Roxana have a brother that loves and supports them: Roxana’s younger half-brother Jeremy and Medea’s older brother Dekis.

Fanon
Medea and Roxana are considered some of the strongest and most badass female leads in manhwas. Their respective series are considered similar due to having more violence compared to other manhwas in the genre, plus the focus on scheming and political intrigue. Fans agree that Medea and Roxana would be an unstoppable duo together. People love making comparisons between the two and they are often paired together in collages and edits. Occasionally, when another manhwa or novel has a purple-haired villainess FL, fans will say she that she looks like Medea and Roxana's daughter. This includes Beckinia from The Villain Recognizes the Villainess and Deborah from The Perks of Being a Villainess.

In terms of Your Throne and Roxana crossover ships, Medea x Deon is this pairing's main rival ship, with plenty of content on Tiktok.
