true-hearted
Sincere in loyalty
True-hearted means genuinely loyal, faithful, or sincere—having a heart that can be trusted.
The word is literary and old-fashioned, appearing in ballads and romantic fiction: a true-hearted friend, her true-hearted devotion never wavered.
It emphasizes inner character rather than outward behavior.
