Priscilla Barielle, born Prisca Benedict, is the daughter of Vollachia's former Emperor Drizen Vollachia and half-sister to the dethroned 77th Emperor, Vincent Abellux. At age twelve, she proved worthy to the legendary Yang Sword and entered the Vollachian Emperor Selection Ceremony. There, her childhood friend and sworn sword Arakiya betrayed her, collaborating with Vincent to fake Priscilla's death out of fear for her life. Priscilla then assumed the identity of a deceased body double, becoming "Priscilla Barielle."
Following her presumed demise, she married her first husband, Jorah Pendleton, who died accused of rebellion against the Emperor. Subsequent marriages saw each husband meet unnatural ends, and her renowned beauty led to her being sold multiple times before reaching the Kingdom of Lugunica. She eventually married Leip Barielle, Baron of Barielle Territory. Leip intended to manipulate her royal candidacy, but fell ill and died shortly before the Royal Selection, leaving Priscilla to govern. Under her rule, the impoverished territory rapidly prospered.
Priscilla possesses extraordinary luck and intuition, believing the world operates "in her favor." Her guesses are consistently accurate, enabling her to deduce hidden truths, such as identifying otherworlders like Al and Subaru, or recognizing zombies and parasitic infections. She values pride above all else and views others as sources of entertainment, treating them as performers meant to amuse her. Her demeanor is commanding, self-assured, and devoid of remorse, rooted in a belief in her inherent superiority.
In combat, she wields Yang Magic, including the spell *Akra*, which envelops targets in golden light to grant enhanced body control while increasing pain sensitivity. Her Divine Protection of the Sun amplifies her strength during daylight and enhances buff effects. She also summons the Yang Sword Vollachia, a crimson blade of light consuming immense mana. This sword generates flames capable of incinerating targets down to their souls, bypassing conventional durability, and can selectively interact with intangible entities like spirits. It provides physical enhancements to its wielder and intimidates even high-ranking adversaries like Divine Generals. Her Three Jeweled Necklace absorbs fatal damage by breaking one of its three gems.
Priscilla employs Soul Marriage, a rare technique requiring mutual love. By sharing her Od, she grants recipients potent regenerative capabilities that heal even fatal injuries almost instantly, used to protect Schult during the Flying Dragon Cataclysm in Guaral.
During the Lugunican Royal Selection, Priscilla permitted Subaru to attend the candidacy announcement for her amusement. Later, in Priestella, she resisted Sirius Romanée-Conti's Authority of Wrath using her self-proclaimed ability "Sun Disc," which also shielded allies like Liliana Masquerade. Post-timeskip, she traveled to Vollachia to aid Vincent in reclaiming his throne but remained in Guaral while others departed for Chaosflame. There, she tutored the amnesiac Rem in Healing Magic.
Her relationships include viewing her knight Aldebaran ("Al") as a useful tool for entertainment and harboring unresolved tensions with Arakiya over her betrayal. She expresses rare concern for her attendant Schult. She considered Leip Barielle a "pervert" and showed no grief over his death. Priscilla recognized Yorna Mishigure as her mother despite Yorna's altered appearance, attributing this to soul perception.
Priscilla admires passionate ambition, even in adversaries like the Witch Sphinx, whom she witnessed pursuing desires beyond self-preservation. She regards such fervor as beautiful, reflecting her philosophy that life's value lies in the unrestrained pursuit of one's goals.
