Description
Seiten is a character from the Queen's Blade universe, known by the title Demon Monkey Necromancer. She is a female human with a distinctly supernatural origin, having been born from a stone egg. This origin establishes her as a unique being often referred to as a Monkey King, and she holds the position of the primary antagonist, or villain, of the land known as Mel Fair Land.
Physically, Seiten is described as tall, standing at 171 centimeters, with purple hair and red eyes. Her measurements are recorded as 97-59-89, and her typical attire consists of minimalist purple leather armor accented with golden ornaments, complemented by pink heels.
The core of Seiten's personality is one of unrestrained, natural impulse. She is known to rampage using the immense magical power she was born with, living by giving full rein to her desires much like a force of nature rather than a calculated schemer. Her motivations are simple and hedonistic: she loves delicious things and, above all else, seeks out strong enemies. Boredom is her greatest dislike, and the promise of combat with powerful, beautiful fighters is what draws her interest to events like the Queen's Blade tournament. Despite her villainous and chaotic nature, she operates under a specific moral code, as she seems unwilling to attack the weak. Furthermore, she possesses a complex social side, sometimes acting as a devoted helper and friend to select individuals, though her relationship with Hakkai of the Orc Tribe is noted to be a bad influence that makes her rampages more frequent.
The most defining event of her backstory involves a renowned and virtuous priest named Genjou. Seeking to punish Seiten for her misdeeds and make her a disciple, Genjou challenged the Monkey King to a duel. Upon seeing Seiten's overwhelming power and allure, Genjou realized she had no hope of victory. The very next day, Genjou returned to the village not as a conqueror, but as a moving corpse and Seiten's eternal undead servant. This act perfectly encapsulates Seiten's role in the story and her primary ability: necromancy. She can revive corpses and command them as the undead, a power she wields with casual cruelty, as demonstrated by her referring to the former priest as her little pet.
In terms of key relationships, aside from her undead servant Genjou, Seiten has connections to other characters within the Grimoire setting. She is noted as the nemesis of Zara, the Demon Hunter inspired by Red Riding Hood, and she also plays a role in the backstory of Tiina the Little Mermaid, granting Tiina the ability to switch between her fins and legs.
Seiten's development is less about personal growth and more about the unfolding of her already formidable power and influence. She is presented as an already complete and overwhelming force, a villain who has already claimed a significant victory over a heroic figure. Her character development is often expressed through her interactions with others, revealing that beneath her desire for strong opponents and her monstrous actions, there are flickers of genuine camaraderie and an aversion to true weakness.
Her notable abilities are centered on death and combat. As a powerful necromancer, her signature skill is raising the dead to serve her, as evidenced by the priest Genjou. For direct combat, she wields a Power Pole as her weapon. Drawing inspiration from her mythological source material, each of her hairs can also transform into a fighting clone to overwhelm her enemies. She is also accompanied by Hakkai, an Orc girl who relies on brute strength, further supplementing her combat options.
