Description
Licca Kayama begins as an ordinary fourth-grade student at Saint Terejia Academy. Her life transforms when she learns she is the princess of the mystical Doll Kingdom, a realm formerly guarded by Doll Knights. This heritage makes her a target for antagonists like the evil Professor Scarecrow and the demon Devaul, who seeks control of the kingdom. Devaul manipulates events by possessing Licca's grandaunt, Yae Kayama, turning her against Licca.
Licca's mother, Orie Kayama, is the Doll Kingdom's rightful queen who fled to the human world after falling in love with Licca's human father, Pierre Kayama, a musician. Licca's grandmother, Nanae Kayama, provides vital protection by gifting her a pink magical bracelet, the Calling Ring. This bracelet alerts Nanae to danger, enabling her to summon Licca's primary guardian, Doll Licca—a sentient warrior doll capable of transforming into a larger combat form. As threats intensify, Licca's best friend Sumire Shinohara and classmate Dai Takabayashi receive green and blue bracelets, allowing them to summon additional guardians, Doll Izumi and Doll Isamu.
Licca's personality blends cheerfulness with resilience, though her naivety often leaves her unaware of imminent dangers or romantic feelings. She harbors a precocious crush on Rui Makiyama, a college student and family friend, while remaining oblivious to Dai's affection. Her friendships define her: she shares a vitriolic-yet-loyal dynamic with Dai, while Sumire acts as her supportive, albeit timid, confidante. Another classmate, Catherine, emerges as an enigmatic ally who initially summons Doll Izumi anonymously before entrusting her choker to Sumire.
Throughout her story, Licca evolves from a passive figure needing rescue to a more active participant in her protection. Early events follow a pattern where kidnapping attempts by antagonists are thwarted by the Doll Knights. As Licca learns more about her lineage and the Doll Kingdom's politics, she engages in broader conflicts, including rescuing her kidnapped father and the final battle against Devaul. The manga adaptation concludes with Doll Licca becoming human and marrying Rui, while Licca Kayama's long-term fate remains undisclosed.
The 1999 movie *Licca-chan Zettai Zetsumei! Doll Knights no Kiseki* introduces the reawakened witch Dana, who targets Licca and her friends at an amusement park. Here, the Doll Knights face amplified challenges, while Licca's core role as the protected princess remains consistent.
