Description
Listy, known as Risty in Japanese media, is a prominent Queen's Blade character bearing the title "Bandit of the Wilderness." She operates as a thief guided by a Robin Hood-like ethos, stealing primarily to fund a shelter for children orphaned by war. This cause stems from her own loss of family during noble conflicts in her youth. The orphanage remains her core motivation, driving her participation in the Queen's Blade tournament as a means to secure resources for the children.
Physically, Listy possesses thick, tangled red hair and typically wears fur-lined armor. She wields a morning star and a wooden shield mounted on her left arm. Intensive training during the Queen's Blade Rebellion arc significantly increases her muscle strength, leading her to abandon the morning star in favor of hand-to-hand combat.
Her narrative begins early in the main storyline when she aids Leina Vance by stealing and delivering the Vance family's heirloom armor, once belonging to Leina's mother. This act establishes her as an ally and catalyst. Her tournament participation is driven by the desire to win resources for the orphans. After losing to Leina in the semifinals, she retreats to the forest to train.
During the Rebellion era, Listy founds the Rebel Army to oppose Queen Claudette's tyranny. She funds the rebellion through the distribution of dark magic stones, becoming a key resistance leader. Captured by the Queen's Army after the Swamp Witch curses her with an "indomitable curse" preventing eating or sleeping during a "Beautiful Fighter Hunt," she endures prolonged imprisonment and physical weakening. Despite this, her combat abilities remain formidable, and her strategic organizational skills prove vital to the Rebel Army leadership under Annelotte.
Listy shares connections with characters like Alleyne, an elf who serves as her instructor and mentor. Her interactions highlight her pragmatic yet compassionate nature, particularly her dedication to protecting the vulnerable. The Swamp Witch's curse during her capture represents a significant personal struggle, emphasizing her resilience against targeted magical oppression. Her role evolves from a solitary bandit to a military leader, underscoring her enduring commitment to justice and the welfare of war orphans.
