Description
La Folia Rihavein holds the position of crown princess within the Aldegyr Kingdom, born to King Lucas Rihavein and Queen Polifonia Rihavein. She is also the niece of Kanon Kanase. Her royal lineage grants her significant spiritual power, a hallmark trait strongly tied to Aldegyr's royal bloodline, especially prominent in its women. This heritage marked her as a target for the organization Magus Craft, which pursued her blood for experiments. To awaken Kojou Akatsuki's third familiar and rescue Kanon from Magus Craft, she became Kojou's third blood partner.
Physically distinguished by exceptional beauty, she is often called the "Second Coming of Freya." She possesses hip-length silver hair, typically styled with bangs partially covering the right side of her face, and vivid blue eyes. Her fair complexion and refined European-inspired features enhance her regal presence. Her common attire includes a jacket-like trench coat over a white button-up shirt and black skirt, accessorized with a blue pendant gemstone on red ribbons and golden chains looped around her left shoulder. For royal events, she wears elegant gowns like a strapless white dress with intricate gold detailing and a tiara, underscoring her status. She wields her primary weapon, the medium-sized cursed pistol named "Allard" featuring a bayonet-like knife attachment, with notable skill.
Her personality blends regal responsibility with a playful, manipulative streak. Demonstrating strength, intelligence, and pragmatism as princess, she acts as a "hard, logical realist" unconstrained by conventional ethics. Alongside her noble duties, she exhibits cheerfulness and friendliness, readily forming bonds like her immediate concern for Kojou after their first meeting. She enjoys orchestrating complex situations, sometimes toying with allies and enemies, potentially leading to chaotic outcomes. This duality defines her interactions.
In combat, she leverages her royal spiritual power and specialized abilities. She can temporarily transform into a spirit using the chant: "我が身に宿れ、神々の娘。軍勢の守り手。剣の時代。勝利をもたらし、死を運ぶ者よ!" (translated: "Daughter of the gods that is within me... Protector of armies, age of the sword, bringer of victory and deliverer of death!"). This state enables her to manifest the Artificial Holy Sword via the Völundr System, a feat typically requiring large spiritual reactors. She also possesses enhanced agility, allowing significant aerial maneuvers during battle.
Her relationships are pivotal. Beyond her blood-partnership with Kojou, she shares a deep familial bond with Kanon, driving her actions during the Amphisbaena arc. She openly expresses a desire for Kojou to "take responsibility" for her and Kanon. Her dynamic with Yukina Himeragi involves light teasing, reflecting her enjoyment of interpersonal tension.
Her role expands across the series' continuity, including OVAs and later seasons, where her intelligence and political influence remain consistent. The creator noted her limited appearances are intentional, as her capabilities could too easily resolve plot conflicts.
