Description
Luxe Houjou, also known as Luxe Sakomizu, is royalty from the Houjou nation in the fantastical realm of Byston Well. Her father, Shinjiro Sakomizu, arrived there as a World War II-era Japanese fighter pilot before becoming king. This lineage gives Luxe partial Japanese ancestry, though she was born and raised entirely in Byston Well. Her stepmother, Codorre Sakomizu, harbors significant resentment towards her, fueled by Fantastic Racism against Luxe's surfacer heritage, creating a strained household.
Defying her father's escalating tyranny, Luxe commits a pivotal act of rebellion: she steals the legendary Wings of Rean – mystical boots that open interdimensional Aura Roads. She intends to use them to aid resistance against Shinjiro's regime. This act propels her onto a battleship that surfaces in Tokyo Bay. Amidst the chaos, she encounters college student Asap Suzuki. She directly appeals for his help, revealing her identity as a princess from another world and disclosing her father's Japanese origins.
Luxe is driven by profound disapproval of her father's plan to invade the surface world, specifically targeting modern Japan for its perceived westernization. The theft of the Wings of Rean is central to thwarting his destructive ambitions. Her journey intertwines with Asap after the Wings choose him as their new bearer, cementing their partnership. Throughout ensuing conflicts, Luxe consistently opposes her father's extreme methods, including his plan to detonate a nuclear device over Tokyo to purge Western influence, challenging his worldview.
After the climactic conflict over Tokyo Bay, where Shinjiro sacrifices himself to stop the nuclear detonation he initiated, Luxe and Asap visit Shinjiro's grave in his former surface world hometown. This act suggests reconciliation or closure regarding their complex relationship. However, shortly after this visit, Luxe experiences a sudden and unexplained fading from existence, leaving her ultimate fate unresolved.
Luxe's known ability stems solely from the Wings of Rean artifact she initially wielded, granting its chosen bearer the power to traverse between worlds via the Aura Road. Though royal, she possesses no described inherent combat skills or mecha piloting abilities. Her primary role revolves around her royal status, defiance of her father, connection to the artifact, and her crucial encounter with Asap Suzuki that sets the narrative in motion.
