# Duare — Pirates of Venus character guide > Duare in Pirates of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs. **Role:** major **Also known as:** XI Duare **First appearance:** 0003-iv-to-the-house-of-the-king ## Snapshot The jong's only daughter, barely nineteen and already the hope of Vepaja, whose law forbids her to see or speak to any man before her twentieth birthday. ## Who they are Duare is heir to a dynasty that dies without her, yet she may not marry, may not even be seen, until she comes of age — and any man she looks upon is condemned to death. She is proud, watchful, and caught between the crushing weight of Vepajan law and the dangerous fact that she has already listened to Carson's confession of love without exposing him. Her silence is the first crack in the whole edifice of Vepajan custom, and it makes her the axis on which Carson's fortunes turn. ## Relationships ### [Kamlot](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/kamlot) _romantic_ Duare and Kamlot share a deep, evolving romantic bond, with Kamlot often serving as her protector and confidant. ### [Jong](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/jong) _family_ Duare and Jong have a familial connection, with Jong being a paternal or guardian figure in her life. ### [Vilor](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/vilor) _psychological_ Duare is a target of Vilor's manipulative obsession, with Vilor trying to control or possess her. ### [Honan](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/honan) _friendship_ Duare and Honan share a friendly rapport, with Honan often assisting or accompanying her. ### [Moosko](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/moosko) _social_ Duare and Moosko are acquaintances, interacting within the social circles of their world. ### [Mintep](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/mintep) _family_ Duare and Mintep have a familial relationship, with Mintep likely being a relative or guardian. ### [Carson Napier](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/carson_napier) _romantic_ Carson and Duare have a romantic connection, with Carson deeply devoted to Duare despite obstacles. ### [Kamlot](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/kamlot) _romantic_ Duare and Kamlot share a deep, evolving romantic bond, with Kamlot often serving as her protector and confidant. ### [Honan](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/honan) _friendship_ Duare and Honan share a friendly rapport, with Honan often assisting or accompanying her. ### [Kamlot](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/kamlot) _romantic_ Duare and Kamlot share a deep, evolving romantic bond, with Kamlot often serving as her protector and confidant. ### [Carson Napier](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/carson_napier) _romantic_ Carson and Duare have a romantic connection, with Carson deeply devoted to Duare despite obstacles. ### [Jong](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/jong) _family_ Duare and Jong have a familial connection, with Jong being a paternal or guardian figure in her life. ## In the story ### [The Girl in the Garden](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/v-the-girl-in-the-garden) The girl glimpsed in the garden, whose brief appearance captivates Carson and motivates his actions. ### [Gathering Tarel](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/vi-gathering-tarel) Encountered by Carson in the garden; she warns him of danger and reacts with anger and horror to his declaration of love. ### [By Kamlot's Grave](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/vii-by-kamlot-s-grave) Recalled by Carson as the 'gorgeous girl in the garden'. ### [On Board the Sofal](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/viii-on-board-the-sofal) Mentioned as having been captured by the klangan and taken to a larger ship; she is described as 'the hope of Vepaja.' ### [XI: Duare](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/xi-duare) Rescued from the Sovong, revealed to be the girl Carson saw in the garden, and the virgin daughter of a jong. ### [A Ship!](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/xii-a-ship) Confronts Carson about his declaration, warns him of the danger, and orders him from her cabin, though her eyes betray her interest. ### [Catastrophe](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/xiii-catastrophe) Missing from her cabin, feared to have jumped overboard or been taken by Vilor and Moosko. ### [Storm](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/chapters/xiv-storm) Missing, believed abducted by Vilor and Moosko with the klangan; Carson is determined to rescue her. ## Links - HTML: https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters/duare - Book: https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se - All characters: https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/pirates_of_venus_se/characters
