Risty, initially romanized as Listy, is the prominent "Benevolent Bandit of the Wilderness." Her origins lie in childhood tragedy, becoming a war orphan after her family died in a noble dispute. Mountain bandits subsequently raised her. As an adult, she witnessed her foster father's murder during a bandit power struggle. In retaliation, she killed the responsible traitor and assumed leadership, founding a new bandit group dedicated to wealth redistribution. Physically, Risty stands approximately 178-179 cm tall with bright red hair and purple eyes. Her initial appearance includes a red headband, a tight ornate jacket, a metallic belt, feathered arm-guards, and sandals, featuring a distinctive thigh-length tattoo on her right leg. Later iterations evolve: in *Rebellion*, she wears a simpler purple bikini top, matching panties, a brown waist cloth, a red cape with fur trim, black bracers, and gauntlets with golden knuckles, her hair tied in a high ponytail. The *Unlimited* version retains a similar aesthetic but straightens her hair, equips her with a metal shield, and slightly modifies the leg tattoo. Her personality blends toughness and kindness. She reacts with anger when provoked or insulted (especially by being called a "monkey"), yet demonstrates compassion by directing stolen resources—taken from corrupt landlords and merchants—to support war orphans. This duality defines her actions and motivations. In combat, Risty wields a large one-handed mace with significant strength, capable of rapid sword-like strikes, using a bracer or shield for defense. Initial parameters show high Attack (4) and Potential (4), while her *Rebellion* iteration emphasizes Leadership (5) and Experience (5), reflecting her evolution into a strategic leader. After defeat in the Queen's Blade tournament semifinals, intensive training increased her physical strength, leading her to abandon the mace for hand-to-hand combat. Her fighting style occasionally references *Fist of the North Star* techniques, such as rapid-fist attacks resembling "Hokuto Hyaku Retsu Ken." Her story spans continuities. Before the Queen's Blade tournament, she commanded her bandit group to raid exploitative nobles and merchants, sharing spoils with oppressed communities. Tournament participation aimed to become queen and eradicate corruption. She aided Leina Vance early in the latter's journey by stealing and returning armor belonging to Leina's mother. In *Rebellion*, following Queen Claudette's rise and subsequent tyranny, Risty founded the Rebel Army, funded by distributing dark magic stones. During a "Beautiful Fighter Hunt," the Swamp Witch cursed her with an "Indomitable Curse," preventing sleep and sustenance, leading to capture and imprisonment by the Queen's Army. Though weakened, her combat prowess and organizational skills remained vital to Annelotte's rebellion leadership. A notable linguistic detail is her title "Gizoku" (義賊), a Japanese term denoting a thief viewed by the oppressed as a servant of justice. This concept lacks a direct English equivalent, leading to translations like "Bandit" or "Thief" despite its nuanced meaning. Risty's development across media consistently reinforces her identity as a fighter channeling aggression into protection for the vulnerable, cementing her as a complex figure driven by justice and resilience.
