OVA
Description
Ren Chikonlee Chorus, also called Rane Chepanikorus, is an elf princess from an alternate world. Standing approximately six inches tall, she embodies her universe's depiction of elves as miniature winged humanoids. Her core purpose is locating the Four Treasures of Heart, known as the Four Hearts, powerful artifacts significant within her realm; this quest drives her narrative actions.
She encounters human treasure hunter Gou Takarada, mistakenly believing he possesses vital knowledge for her mission. Their partnership is defined by persistent miscommunication, as she speaks an incomprehensible language resembling Japanese-sounding gibberish. Her dialogue is often subtitled with nonsensical phrases like exclaiming "Cigar store!" when startled. This barrier causes mutual misinterpretation: she sees Gou's treasure hunting as aid for finding the Four Hearts, while he views her as a guide for his own pursuits.
Her abilities include sensing and reacting to mystical energies tied to the Four Hearts. Specific triggers, like Gou verbally acknowledging her importance or proximity to power sources like ancient stones, cause visible reactions where inscriptions manifest across her and she emits a glowing effect, indicating her connection to these magical forces.
Relationships further shape her role. She shares an antagonistic dynamic with Leen Kyami Coonyo, another fairy seeking the Four Hearts for personal ambition, including becoming a grand witch and gaining status. Leen initially aims to eliminate her to claim the treasures exclusively, though temporary alliances form when mutual necessity arises, such as cooperating to progress their shared objective. Leen physically interacts with her via a kiss in Episode 2, inducing a temporary shift in her demeanor and accusations blaming Leen for ongoing conflicts.
Her background as royalty is acknowledged in the title "Elf Princess," though the narrative provides no further detail about her realm's society or personal history beyond the quest. Her story concludes unresolved, without securing the Four Hearts or achieving mission clarity. A preview suggesting future progression corresponded to an unproduced third episode, leaving her journey incomplete.
