OVA
Description
Echidna, a wild elf mercenary hailing from the southern forests near Calibara, possesses over five centuries of combat experience. She once led the Fang Assassination Unit before becoming a lone operative. Exceptionally agile, skilled, and self-assured, she is virtually unbeatable in battle, making her a favored Queen's Blade contender despite her indifference towards the throne.
Standing 162 cm tall (168 cm in "Unlimited"), she has dull green hair with whitish bangs (fully white in "Unlimited"), red eyes, and an athletic frame measuring 94-63-86. Her "Unlimited" form features darker skin. She wears a snake-motif white vest with turtle-shell shoulder plates, a fur collar, and red gem accents, notably using her pet snake, Keltan, as underwear substitute, often fighting bottomless. Her weapon is a curved snake-themed sword and shield, altered in "Unlimited".
Outwardly cold, cruel, perverted, and sadistic, Echidna secretly harbors a pure, gentle side. She frequently sexually harasses attractive women, especially Leina Vance, whom she calls "cute," "tasty," and "a hot number" with a "curvaceous body and pretty face". Her actions include groping, licking Leina's cheek during a match, forcibly disrobing her while asleep, offering training in exchange for "playing," and administering an antidote via kiss. She exhibits jealousy over Leina's interactions with Risty and has made advances towards Aldra and Elina Vance. Beneath this behavior lies hidden compassion; she aids those in need and shows vulnerability, crying when emotionally overwhelmed.
Her combat prowess includes psychological manipulation, blade mastery, and coordination with Keltan for venomous bites. Her signature "Black Rose" technique parries attacks with her sword followed by a dagger strike. Her parameters rate defense, technique, and agility at maximum (5). She sleeps nude, as seen in flashbacks with her former disciple, Irma.
Echidna mentored Irma, leader of the Assassins of the Fang. After Irma's failed assassination attempt on Queen Aldra led to a death sentence, Echidna rescued her, though a broken promise caused lasting resentment. Hired to protect Leina during Queen's Blade, Echidna abandoned the mission to save Irma. Her tournament motivations remain undisclosed, but her actions suggest loyalty beneath her mercenary exterior.
In the "Beautiful Warriors" OVA, Echidna features in an episode centered on Leina and Elina. Her "Unlimited" incarnation revises dialogue, changing her victory taunt to teasing opponents about "fun things" she will make them do.
