Description
Grenada is the mother of the protagonists Tsurugi and Yaiba and holds the title of Empress Dowager of the nation of Atlantia. As the widow of the late king Atlaios, she was once a beloved figure among her people, known for her devotion to helping them, particularly those of the lower class during times of chaos in her country. She is a woman with long brown hair that she typically covers with a headdress, and she has grey eyes. Her attire usually consists of a white dress with blue accents and ornate gold details around the neck, where a red gem is set.
Grenada is portrayed as a deeply caring and loving parent who was devastated by her son Yaiba's betrayal. She is willing to go to great lengths, including sacrificing herself, to protect her children and the people of Atlantia. In the past, she was known to be actively involved with the lower class, reflecting a personality that is compassionate and just. Her love for her family and her kingdom are the primary motivators behind her complex actions throughout the story. Although she initially appears to be aligned with Yaiba after he becomes ruler, it is eventually revealed that her motivations are far more nuanced. She actually sides with Yaiba as a means to protect him from an unknown shadow figure plotting to rule the world from behind the scenes. Simultaneously, she is also involved with the Red Army, a group whose objective is to create a better government once all the Sword Eyes of Light have been gathered. Her ultimate goal is to balance the protection of her son with the salvation of her world.
In the story, Grenada is initially a prisoner in her own son's palace, suspected of being behind a rebellion in Atlantia, though she is later released. She eventually has a reunion with her other son, Tsurugi, in Megallanion, where she publicly appears to be in agreement with Yaiba's plans, leading many to believe she has been brainwashed. She takes actions against the Sword Eyes of Light, banishing them from Megallanion, yet shows remorse for this decision. As the plot unfolds, her true allegiances become clearer when she is discovered to be deceiving Yaiba. He captures her and confines her to a tower on an island. However, she retains a network of loyal followers. She gives power to Amarello, who helps her escape and remains a steadfast guardian. Together, they visit a royal grave, where Grenada reveals she possesses a jewel staff, the source of her power, which was given to her in her childhood by Justice Tachibana. This staff is linked to a prophecy that she would be a mother to both light and dark.
During the climax of the series, Grenada remains a central figure in the conflict against the main antagonist, Garudos. She stays with her son Yaiba to care for him after he is defeated in battle, and she forgives him for his past treatment of her, expressing pride in his efforts as king. Before the final battle against Garudos, she gives Tsurugi the key card Sword Destiny, telling him it will bind him and Yaiba together. This card subsequently allows Tsurugi to perform a triple brave in his decisive battle. In the epilogue, she is shown watching over her sons in the new world, reflecting on the memory of her late husband, Atlaios.
Her key relationships are central to her character development. Her connection to her sons, the light-aligned Tsurugi and the dark-aligned Yaiba, is the driving force of her actions. Her relationship with Amarello is that of a mentor and a trusted guardian, with Amarello being fiercely loyal to her. Her past connection to Justice Tachibana, who gave her the jewel staff and the prophecy, is also a significant element of her backstory.
Grenada is not a primary battler herself, but her notable abilities are tied to her jewel staff. The staff is the source of her power, and she is capable of sharing this power with others, as demonstrated when she gives power to Amarello to save Haqua from brainwashing. Rather than direct combat, her primary influence is through her strategic planning, political maneuvering, and the emotional support and power she provides to the key fighters in the story. She undergoes significant development, transforming from a seemingly compromised and antagonistic figure to a loving mother and a key strategist working to save her sons and her world.
