Description
Ariel Anemoi Asura is the second princess of the Asura Kingdom and holds the third position in the line of succession to the throne. She is the only daughter of the king and his queen consort, which makes her the sole heir recognized as possessing the pure bloodline of the Asura royal family. Known throughout the kingdom as the most beautiful princess in history, she boasts an almost crystalline beauty with her intricately braided golden blonde hair and a melodious voice that is considered exceptionally charismatic and pleasant to listen to. Her physical appearance is often described as being of a pictorial perfection, with one observer who has met many attractive people noting her as the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
Ariel's personality is a complex mix of traits shaped by her upbringing in the center of royal power struggles. From a young age, she grew up critically analyzing the nobles who surrounded her, believing they would betray her the moment it became advantageous to do so. Consequently, she initially had no interest in the throne and led a hedonistic life of pleasure, convinced that she could never surpass the achievements and connections of her older brothers, particularly the first prince. On the surface, she presents a cunning and somewhat vulgar demeanor, though she is known to be sincere and rewarding to those who serve her faithfully. She never forgets the sacrifices of those who support her genuinely and seeks to reward her loyal servants. As a product of the Asuran aristocracy, she also possesses a dark and manipulative side. Having survived repeated assassination attempts during her childhood, she developed a taste for dominating strong individuals and later discovered an inclination towards the submissive role as well, making her a complex figure with both sadistic and masochistic tendencies.
A pivotal event changes the course of Ariel's life entirely. During the Fittoa teleportation incident, a monster appeared in the royal castle. Her guardian sorcerer, Derrick Redbat, protected her from the creature and was mortally wounded. In his final moments, he urged her to become queen. Deeply moved by his sacrifice and determined to honor his last wish, Ariel decided to abandon her life of leisure and fight for the crown. In the same incident, she took in Sylphiette, who had also been teleported and helped eliminate the threat, appointing her as her new guardian sorcerer under the alias Fitz. After an initial political struggle against the faction supporting the first prince ended in defeat, Ariel was forced to flee the Asura Kingdom to escape continuous assassination attempts. She traveled to the Ranoa Kingdom under the guise of studying abroad, a journey that saw most of her attendants sacrifice themselves to protect her.
Upon arriving at Ranoa Magic University, Ariel refused the offer of special treatment as a princess and instead chose to enroll as a regular student. Her goal was to recruit talented individuals and those with political influence who could strengthen her base and increase her power for a future return to Asura. She successfully became the student council president, a position she used to further her political network. She formed a deep and inseparable bond with Sylphiette, who served as both her protector and confidante. Their relationship began with a failed intimate advance from Ariel that awoke her masochistic side, evolving into a close friendship where she eventually supported Sylphiette's reunion and romance with Rudeus Greyrat. Her relationship with her guardian knight, Luke Notos Greyrat, is one of deep trust that has existed since childhood, though she is not blind to the possibility that circumstances could force him to betray her. She holds gratitude for Lilia Greyrat, who saved her from an assassination attempt when she was a child.
Ariel's role in the story becomes increasingly significant as she works to reclaim her position. She considers Rudeus Greyrat the most powerful mage she has ever met and, despite initial wariness about his suspicious demeanor, comes to recognize his value as an irreplaceable ally after seeing him befriend exceptional students she could not win over herself. Through Rudeus, she gains an audience with the legendary hero Perugius Dola, whose backing is essential for her claim to the throne. When her usual persuasive methods fail to sway him, she embarks on a journey to the Library Labyrinth, where she finds the diary of her deceased guardian Derrick. This helps her find the answer Perugius seeks, and she earns his cooperation by demonstrating her conviction to inherit the will of those who sacrificed themselves for her path to the crown. She later voluntarily becomes a subordinate of Orsted, the Dragon God, after hearing his reasons for helping her, proving her willingness to accept risk for opportunity. Throughout her development, she transitions from a pleasure-seeking princess into a determined and calculating political leader, showing signs of exhaustion and vulnerability in hostile environments but ultimately succeeding in becoming the Queen of the Asura Kingdom. In terms of abilities, Ariel possesses exquisite royal education and unmatched charisma enhanced by her beautiful voice. She can skillfully manipulate her public image and has demonstrated advanced skills in politics and social maneuvering among the nobility. However, she sometimes relies too heavily on her charisma to build relationships and shows limitations when dealing with powerful individuals like Perugius, where her usual persuasion methods prove ineffective.
