Description
Falis is a highly skilled, infamous bounty hunter renowned for formidable combat prowess, including slaying a dragon. Significant trauma shaped her past: the sorceress Cecilia destroyed her village, killing her family and others without reason during a test of power. This drove Falis to wield her father's ancient katana, Himetsuru, and become a bounty hunter, forging a tough, resilient, and impulsive personality.
A pivotal moment occurred when Princess Alita Forland, fleeing a coup, collided with Falis during a near-death experience, accidentally swapping their souls. Trapped in Alita's body, Falis agreed to assume the princess's identity and protect the Forland kingdom, using Alita's original body and soul as collateral. Initially dismissive of Alita as weak, Falis's perspective shifted as she witnessed the princess's courage and strong will, fostering mutual respect and loyalty. This solidified Falis's commitment as Forland's protector.
As the imposter princess, Falis confronted threats like the usurper Dr. Akamashi and his robotic enforcers Ana and Yuna, later facing Cecilia and the traitorous Prince Kaito. Her combat style often involved dual-wielding Himetsuru with a dagger. She adapted to royal life while fiercely resisting conventions like corsets and formal etiquette. Her relationship with Alita deepened into a protective, sister-like bond, especially after Alita shielded an injured Falis from Kaito. Falis remained steadfastly loyal despite revelations about the Forland family's secrets involving lost technology from an ancient civilization.
Aided by bounty hunter companions—Dominikov, a knowledgeable shinigami (manga) or cyborg (anime), and Pete Armstrong, a gentle giant depicted as a cyborg (anime)—Falis resolved conflicts, including stopping Kaito's plan to destroy the world using the lost technology Teoria. The soul-swap became permanent, leading Falis to continue as Forland's ruler in Alita's body. Her character arc concluded with embracing her role as the kingdom's defender, transitioning from a solitary bounty hunter to a dedicated leader.
