OVA
Description
Hime, formally named Lillianne, serves as the second princess of the monster kingdom’s royal lineage, daughter of the reigning monster king. Her striking features—blonde hair, scarlet slitted pupils, and sharp fangs—underscore her non-human origins, complemented by aristocratic Gothic Lolita fashion and a tiara later abandoned upon renouncing her royal title.
As a Phoenix-descendant, she once engaged in lethal succession wars with siblings until losing her innate powers, releasing her from the throne’s bloody contest. A defining tragedy—Severin, her brother, orchestrating a zombie assault that slaughtered her entire retinue—cemented her ironclad vow to shield allies, fueling survivor’s guilt and a willingness to defy rules. This drives her resurrection of Hiro, her devoted Blood Warrior, after his sacrificial death.
Her demeanor merges regal detachment with ruthless practicality, unapologetically commanding servants for menial tasks and deploying merciless strategies against foes, while harboring fierce loyalty to comrades. Though typically stoic, cracks in her icy facade surface during acts of self-sacrifice, epitomizing her sugar-and-ice duality: clinical precision tempered by rare warmth toward trusted few.
In combat, she swings a chainsaw with lethal flair, supplements with crossbows and pitchforks, and strategically manipulates adversaries, exemplified by coercing her sister Sherwood’s surrender via mutually assured destruction. Beyond battle, her artistry emerges through piano mastery and songwriting.
Key bonds include Hiro, her semi-immortal servant resurrected with lingering romantic undercurrents; alliances forged with former rivals like Riza, a vengeance-driven werewolf, and Reiri, a vampire, through earned respect; and protective, if stern, mentorship of Sherwood, her adoring younger sister.
Her evolution sees her discard royalty for casual garb, prioritize Sherwood’s safety, and transmute Hiro into a Flame Warrior to grant him autonomy without severing their bond. Shifting from reactive royalty to proactive guardian, she champions loyalty and pragmatic heroism over dynastic tradition, redefining strength through sacrifice and unyielding resolve.
