Listy, also known as Risty, is a prominent character in the Queen's Blade franchise. Orphaned by war and raised by mountain bandits, she witnessed her foster father's death during an internal power struggle. She avenged him by killing the traitorous leader and formed her own bandit group. This group specialized in raiding caravans of corrupt landlords and merchants, redistributing the stolen wealth to aid war orphans and exploited communities. Her drive to enter the Queen's Blade tournament comes from a desire to become queen, eradicate corruption, and establish a prosperous nation for all. Physically, she possesses bright red hair, purple eyes, and stands approximately 178 cm tall. Her initial design includes a red headband, an ornate fitted jacket, a metallic red belt over black thong panties, feathered arm-guards, sandals, and a distinctive thigh-length tattoo on her right leg. Her appearance evolves: in Rebellion, she wears a simpler purple bikini top and matching panties, a brown waist cloth, a red cape with a fur mantle, black bracers, and gauntlets with golden knuckles, styling her hair in a high ponytail. For Unlimited, she retains most Rebellion elements but features straight hair, adds a metal shield, and slightly alters her leg tattoo. Her personality exhibits a stark duality. She typically displays a tough, brash, and confrontational demeanor, acting impulsively and causing disruptions when provoked. This contrasts sharply with her deep compassion, shown through her dedication to helping war orphans and vulnerable communities. Consequently, her followers and townspeople view her with a potent mix of fear and admiration. In combat, she wields a large one-handed mace with significant power and agility, treating it almost like a one-handed sword, while using a bracer or shield for defense. Parameter assessments rate her moderately to highly in attack, defense, bravery, resourcefulness, and leadership. Her fighting style shifts in Rebellion towards greater emphasis on hand-to-hand combat, reflecting increased physical strength. Her narrative begins before the tournament, establishing her reputation as the "Benevolent Bandit of the Wilderness." She enters the Queen's Blade tournament aiming to win the crown and enact societal reforms. Following the tournament, during the events of Rebellion, she founds the Rebel Army to oppose Queen Claudette's tyranny, her organizational skills proving crucial. Captured by the Queen's Army after a curse prevents her from eating or sleeping, imprisonment weakens her but fails to extinguish her significant combat capability, and she remains a vital figure within the rebellion.
