OVA
Description
Ymir, daughter of the Dwarf King, oversaw operations at the Iron Mountain steel mills for fifty years. This region functioned as the Continent's primary iron ore source, where her tribe forged weapons and handicrafts. Facing a business crisis from a rival organization mass-producing cheaper steel, she entered the Queen's Blade tournament to prove dwarven-crafted superiority and save her failing enterprise. Bound by dwarven law dictating obedience to any opponent who shattered her weapon in single combat—a risk accepted despite her father's objections due to her confidence in their durability—she competed.
During the tournament, Ymir wielded a massive red battle axe, frequently extolling dwarven craftsmanship, especially against rival Cattleya. Her combat style blended powerful single and two-handed strikes, aided by a specialized right-arm gauntlet for handling the oversized weapon. In her pivotal duel against Claudette Vance, the axe shattered, compelling her service to Claudette under dwarven honor codes—a significant shift in her path.
Following the tournament and Claudette's ascension to queen, Ymir transitioned from competitor to strategist and lead alchemist within Claudette's army. This role showcased her intellectual prowess through inventions like the incendiary "Asgartan Fire Jar" and the size-and-strength enhancing "Giant Growth" elixir. Her personality evolved from competitive and occasionally childlike to calmer and more analytical, shedding her former fear of snakes. Her attire shifted to a black corset, red plaid skirt, and dual axes, reflecting her tactical position.
In the Unlimited continuity, Ymir adopted a bridal theme, donning a puffy white gown resembling a wedding dress paired with floral-adorned armor and a similarly decorated battle axe. Her goal shifted to becoming the "Continent's number one bride," while weaponry and combat remained central.
Physically, Ymir stands approximately 120 cm (3'11") with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. Her initial design featured a pink puff-sleeved dress with armored gauntlets and boots. Her Rebellion outfit incorporated skull motifs and practical combat elements. Her Unlimited appearance maintained her signature curls while adding bridal accessories.
