Queen's Blade/Characters


This is the characters page for the series Queen's Blade.

Main Characters

Leina

The Wandering Warrior
Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi
Artist: Hirokazu Hisayuki

Middle daughter of the Vance family and heiress to the Count's throne. She runs away from home to follow her mother's footsteps as a warrior and travel the world to become a stronger warrior by entering the Queen's Blade Tournament. Leina is the main protagonist of the Queen's Blade anime as well as the mascot character of the Queen's Blade franchise.

Claudette

The Lightning General
Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka
Artist: Hirokazu Hisayuki

Oldest daughter of the Vance family and a favorite in the Queen's Blade Tournament. However, as an illegitimate daughter, she is barred from the throne, instead being assigned as Leina's bodyguard, even as she struggles to earn her father's approval.

Nanael

The Angel of Glory
Voiced by: Aya Hirano
Artist: Kuuchuu Yousai

An angel who, in her own words, is sent from Heaven to supervise and participate in the Queen's Blade Tournament in order to bring order to the world. Reality, however, begs to differ—she's a mischief-maker expelled by the head archangel into joining the Tournament as a "trial", one made even more difficult by an additional stipulation—she must never spill the "Holy Milk" in a bottle strapped on her hip.

Tomoe

The Warrior Priestess
Voiced by: Mamiko Noto
Artist: Eiwa

A member of an ancient order of Mikos from the island-nation of Hinomoto who participates in the Queen's Blade tournament to save her homeland and its (very young) ruler, the Mikado, from its own corrupt Imperial Court. She's also the sole survivor of her order, most of which were massacred by a group of Kouma Ninjas employed by the Court.

Melona

The Assassin of Many Faces
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
Artist: F.S.

One of the three servants of the Swamp Witch and her strongest minion. She is a shapeshifter with considerable skill in information-gathering as well as assassination. It is assumed that she was ordered to bring havoc into the Queen's Blade Tournament.

Menace

The Ancient Queen
Voiced by: Yūko Gotō
Artist: F.S.

One of the three servants of the Swamp Witch. While resurrected into doing her bidding, she is more concerned with restoring her ancient kingdom of Amara. She was betrayed by her adviser/mentor/lover Anarista millennia ago, and was beaten and raped by her kingdom's slaves under her palace after being thrown into the slave quarters by Anarista.

  • Bare Your Midriff - To an absurd degree. She wears what amounts to a apron crossed with a mantle that hangs over (but doesn't actually cling to) her breasts. In the DVD version of Buddy Body, it's shown that her breasts bounce freely out from under her top every time takes a step.
  • Charm Person - Uses this on Leina in the anime, though she broke free by the end of the episode.
    • As well as half a city in season 2.
  • Combat Stilettos
  • Crossover - In the Mobile Suit Blade doujinshi and strip, she's depicted as the Neo Egypt's Pharaoh Gundam.
  • Expy - Of Cleopatra, except lesbian. Also, she's based from Kharis the Royal Mummy from Tunnels and Trolls: both use scepters, have curse attacks that poison enemies, and have similar headbutts, knee attacks and shrieks.
  • Happiness in Slavery - Averted with her in the 4th OVA, but played straight with her masochistic servants. This is even lampshaded by Melona in the end of the episode.
  • Meaningful Name - Also considered as a Punny Name, her name is a sort of portmanteau between the English word "menace" and the name of the Egyptian pharaoh Menes.
  • Phlebotinum Rebel - Against the Swamp Witch, in the books' Backstory. In the anime, she remains as one of her henchwomen.
    • Played straight when she decides to rebuild Amara in the 4th OVA, despite Melona and Airi's efforts to force her to return.
  • Shout-Out - She uses some melee moves and poses based on Souther's "Nanto Hou'ou-ken" fighting style, as well as his Egyptian motifs (although more pronounced on Menace). This may also count as Casting Gag -- her voice actress is a fan of Fist of the North Star, specifically of Souther.
    • More obvious in the Spiral Chaos games when she use her own version of Souther's Houshou Jyujihou except she use Setra for landing.
  • Stripperiffic - Impressively so. While the entire cast counts, Menace's outfit is effectively a bikini bottom and shoulder coverings.
  • Underboobs - As shown in the Buddy Body videos, her top doesn't actually cling to her, and is stiff metal—her breasts bounce freely under it whenever she moves.

Airi

The Infernal Temptress
Voiced by: Kanae Ito
Artist: Kazushiro Takamura

A wraith summoned by the Swamp Witch to kill her enemies in the Queen's Blade Tournament. Airi is totally devoted to her mistress, and can suck away the life energy of her enemies simply by touching them.

  • Badass Abnormal
  • Badass Adorable
  • Crossover - In the Mobile Suit Blade doujinshi and strip, she's obviously depicted as the Gundam Deathscythe
  • Evil Tastes Good - Apparently fear is a good sauce.
  • Girlish Pigtails
  • Kiss of Death
  • Life Energy - One of her powers is to steal it from people via mouth to mouth contact. The groping isn't strictly necessary, but knowing what kind of series this is...
  • Love Redeems
  • Meido: Her sworn duty towards The Swampt witch is her defining character trait.
  • My Master, Right or Wrong: Played for Drama. Even though it pains greatly to leave Rana, who allowed her for the first time ever to experience the warmth and love of a family, her sense of honor and duty will not permit her to abandon The Swamp Witch. Though she has since fought under the tyran'ts banner and slain countless innocents including Annolette's mother in the "Queen's Blade Rebellion" Prequel Manga, her lingering memories and love of Rana nevertheless allows her to somehow hold onto a measure of her newly-gained humanity.
  • Noble Demon - Of the trio of the Swamp-Witches' henchwomen, she is the first to show some decency. She was bested in combat by Cattleya because of her refusal to strike down her son Rana, and only won on a very cruel technicality set by the Empress. She later (albeit initially reluctant) takes Rana in and looks after him like a big sister. Unfortunately...
    • Redemption Equals Death - She quite literally starves to death in her fight against Nanael, having being unable to feed on people's souls due to her unwillingness to make Rana sad. The very nature of her dietary habits prevents her from being a good person, and it killed her trying to be one.
    • Well, almost. She manages to hang on inside her scythe, and is able to regenerate when she's thrown at an assassin.
  • Punny Name - Her "Battle Name" can be read as "Meido he Izanaumono" -- "Temptress from Hades". The pun is, of course, reinforced by her outfit...
  • Rapunzel Hair
  • Shout-Out - In QB Spiral Chaos, she uses moves based on the Gundam Deathscythe. Her Finishing Move -- "Life Energy Absorption"—looks a lot like the "Jeeg Breaker".
  • Sinister Scythe
  • Undying Loyalty - Despite being a fundamentally decent and honorable person herself, it is that same sense of honor and sworn-duty towards the Swamp Witch causes Airi to remain in servitude to the tyrant. The clash between her own personal sense of morality and her duty to her master is a constant inner conflict central to her character.
  • Walking Wasteland - Part of her power set.
  • Zettai Ryouiki - A possible Grade S.

Nowa

The Guardian of the Forest
Voiced by: Mikako Takahashi
Artist: Katsuzo Hirata

A human/elf hybrid who, despite earning an important position in the elves' Forest Council, is distrusted by elves and humans alike, and the former in particular is more than happy to shoo her into the Queen's Blade Tournament. Her only friends are Alleyne, the only elf who had the courage to take her in, and her pet monkey Lou.

Nowa, LET'S DO IT!

Alleyne

The Combat Instructor
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura
Artist: MatsuRyu

One of the oldest members of a tribe of forest elves, at well over 1,000 years old. Curt, hard-headed and strict upon both herself and others, she has a habit of lecturing to others, even in casual conversations. Other elves call her "master", for out of fear/respect or both. She also surprises her fellow elves by admitting a despised halfling, Nowa, under her tutelage.

Elina

The Imperial Commander
Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi
Artist: Hirokazu Hisayuki

Youngest (and most loyal) daughter of Count Vance. She is a prominent Queen's Blade Tournament fighter who entered the fray in hopes of finding (and bringing back) Leina under their father's orders. She's also a walking pile of contradictions—one one hand she's a smiling princess, a noble guard, and a kind younger sister; on the other hand, a vicious fighter, a deadly assassin, and a cruel sadist.

Shizuka

Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame
Artist: Eiwa

A former member of the Kouma Ninjas who defected and befriended Tomoe, whom she accompanies on her quest to win the Queen's Blade Tournament.

  • Absolute Cleavage
  • Ascended Extra - She has no game book, but has played a prominent role in both the anime and the PSP games.
  • Badass Ninja
  • Boisterous Bruiser
  • Crossover - In the Mobile Suit Blade doujinshi and strip, she's depicted as the Gerbera Tetra.
  • Defector From Decadence - Abandoned her clan to become Tomoe's follower, inspired by her ideals.
  • Dropped A Bridge on Her: There was literally no point to her death other than to make the already overpowered Tomoe even more powerful.
    • Not exactly: Tomoe was going to lose against Elina because she rarely fights to the death and barely defeated her, and Shizuka already know that next opponent (later revealed as Leina) was not going not going be so kind with her (besides the fact they need to win the tournament for their country in first place) Also, it's implied it was an elaborated Gambit Roulette not only to help Tomoe to defeat Leina, but also to defeat Delmore for good in the final episode of both the second season and the OVA series.
  • Killed Off for Real: To the point that she was the only dead character not affected by the mass resurrection at the end, for no reason whatsoever.
  • Sacrificial Lion
  • Stuffed Into the Fridge
  • White-Haired Pretty Girl

Irma

The Fang Assassin
Voiced by: Yui Kano
Artist: Hirotaka Akaga

Current leader of the Assassins of the Fang, the Queen's secret police. Irma adopts an emotionless attitude due to her early training alongside Echidina. Her mission is to eliminate certain fighters from the Queen's Blade Tournament.

Echidna

The Veteran Soldier
Voiced by: Yuki Kaida
Artist: F.S.

An elf from the forests of the deep south (although from a different tribe than Nowa and Alleyne) and a former leader of the Assassins of the Fang with at least 500 years of experience. Despite being a strong contender for the Queen's Blade Tournament, she has no interest in winning, instead spending her days as a wandering mercenary.

Cattleya

The Weaponsmith
Voiced by: Ryoka Yuzuki
Artist: Kaneko Hiraku

A manager of a weapon smithy and a former adventurer together with her husband Owen, with whom she had a son, Rana. She joins the Queen's Blade Tournament in order to find Owen, who has gone missing.

  • Amazonian Beauty/BBW - She's got a bit of a belly, gigantically soft breasts, and a huge butt (that the camera highlights often) but she's also extremely muscular where it counts: her legs and arms.
  • Badass Action Mom - Has a reputation for it, although she's very modest about it.
  • Badass and Child Duo - Except unlike most tropes it's her biological son.
  • BFS - They don't call it the "Giant-Killer" for nothing.
  • Boobs of Steel - As far as physical strength, goes she far outclasses all of the other combatants, so it's no surprise that she also far outsizes most of the other combatants in terms of bustsize
  • Crossover - In the Mobile Suit Blade doujinshi and strip, she's depicted as the League Militaire's Zoloat.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending - She eventually gets her family back.
  • Expy/Distaff Counterpart - Possibly of Guts, except Cattleya DOESN'T suffer Guts's same fate.
  • Gag Boobs - She has gigantic breasts just shy of being twice as big as her head, and has experienced every trope typical of a Gag Boobs character. The anime took these tropes to an extreme, as she not only smothers Rana with them, but can also use them as pillows. Judging from her fight with Ymir, they also seem to be as light as pillow, as they constantly bounce in front of her face, though they toned it down considerably in later episodes. In spite of this, the size difference between her and other characters is ignored, the Gainaxing has no effect on her combat, and Rana doesn't seem to mind being smothered as long as his mom is there.
  • Gainaxing - Her introductory episode has this by the boatload, although this is toned down in later episode
  • Gentle Giant - Rather tall and muscular, but also warm-hearted and reluctant to engage in violence.
  • Meganekko
  • Hadaka Apron - Her outfit is based on this.
  • Hot Mom
  • Marshmallow Hell - Subverted in that there's no perversion factor with Rana; he just likes being close to his mom.
  • Mighty Glacier
  • Muscles Are Meaningless - Averted: she's the most muscular of the female cast, and by far the strongest.
  • Reluctant Warrior
  • Shout-Out - In QB Spiral Chaos, she has moves based on the EVA-02's attack against Zeruel (Javelin Attack) and from the Daizengar.
  • Stout Strength

Ymir

The Steel Princess
Voiced by: Ayaka Saitou
Artist: Natsuki Mibu

Daughter of the Dwarf King and manager of his steel mills for the past fifty years. She entered the Queen's Blade Tournament to prove the superiority of dwarven weapons.

Risty

The Chivalrous Thief
Voiced by: Yuko Kaida
Artist: Eiwa

A bandit with a heart of gold, who steals from the corrupt rich and works as a mercenary to amass money to help provide food and shelter for war orphans. Her presence in the Queen's Blade Tournament revolves around this desire of hers.

Aldra

The Twilight Queen
Voiced by: Miyu Takeuchi (original series), Ayana Taketatsu (Rebellion)
Artist: Kantaka

Defending champion from the past two editions of the Queen's Blade Tournament. As the daughter of a priestess and the Lord of the Underworld, she is a cursed half-demon with the power to petrify with her gaze as well as "flesh-rending secret blades". While already around her twenties, she barely grew an inch taller due to a pact she made with the demon Delmore years ago, gaining immense power in order for her to find her lost sister.

Nyx

The Maiden of Flames
Voiced by: Rie Tanaka
Artist: Kuroki Masahiro

A peasant girl born to a laborer in the service of Count Vance. When Nyx stumbled upon Funikura, a sentient staff, she was granted immeasurable magical powers. She entered the Queen's Blade Tournament to prove her worth against everyone who looked down on her, especially Elina.

Melpha

The Saint of the Gates
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara
Artist: Zundarepon

A priestess from a church in Gainos, the continent's capital city. Known as a devout, holy woman to her followers, and despite her minimal fighting ability, she is capable of using white magic for healing and attacking enemies through provocative "Holy Poses". She is also greatly devoted to Nanael, whom she views as a great messenger from Heaven.


Queen's Blade Rebellion Characters

Annelotte

The Princess Knight of the Rebellion
Voiced by: Aya Endo

Leader of the "Rebellion Army" and a knight with a strong sense of justice, driven out of concern for her homeland, currently being devastated by war, joining her younger sisters-in-law in the process. Like Leina, she is a noble's daughter—in her case, the Margrave Kreuz, though for some reason was raised as a boy. Despite her clumsiness, she has a certain level of charisma that inspires undying loyalty to her.

  • Combat Stilettos
  • Cool Horse - Ambrosius, a horse from the underworld, with whom she fights her enemies.
  • Expy - She looks like an older Leina, except she doesn't relinquish her nobility and use her position to lead a rebellion against Claudette.
    • Also she shares some traits with Song Jiang from Water Margin. In fact, most of Rebellion's story seems inspired by the book, except that while Song was an outlaw until his death, Annelotte is a noblewoman-turned-outlaw out of necessity.
  • Hot Chick with a Sword - And a spear for a good measure.
  • Insistent Terminology - Hates to be addressed as "Big Brother" (Onii-chan) by Huit and prefers to be addressed as "Big Sister" (Onee-sama).
  • One of the Boys
  • Punny Name - Her name is a pun with the demon Astaroth, the Crowned Prince of Hell, a very fitting name, since her real mother is the ruler of the Netherworld.
    • Ironic Name - Her last name, Kreuz, means "Cross" in German. And she's half-demon like her sister Aldra.
  • Shout-Out - In QB Rebellion's animated adaptation, during episode 10, when using her Super-Powered Evil Side, she creates a cross-shaped energy burst similar to the ones that appears in Neon Genesis Evangelion used by the Angels and EVAs alike.
  • Super-Powered Evil Side - Like Aldra, she's half-demon, and during a duel with Elina in the Illustrated Stories, her evil side suddenly goes on a rampage and kills everyone on sight, forcing Elina to retreat barely alive. Only Huit's Cooldown Hug stopped her. The same scene happens in the anime series, but happens when Annelotte fights against Mirim when trying to destroy her armor's Magic Stones, and Huit is unable to stop her instead.
  • Training from Hell - From Alleyne in the first QB Rebellion OVA.

Huit

The Alchemist-Strategist
Voiced by: Minori Chihara
Artist: Koume Keito

Daughter of the "Great Alchemist" Cyan, a good friend of Cattleya, and a younger sister-in-law of Annelotte, whom she calls "big brother" (much to the latter's annoyance). Spoiled she may be, due to Annelotte's influence, but she is also rather gentle and a competent tactician within the "Rebellion Army" who can fight with the automaton Vingt.

Vingt

The Alchemic Iron Woman
Voiced by: Yukiko Takaguchi (Drama CDs)
Artist: Koume Keito

An elven automaton reputedly built by Huit's mother, who also serves as Huit's playmate, bodyguard and companion. She is a wind-up automaton, but with a fairly long lifespan once wound up. She always acts under the orders written in the "remote control" unit Huit carries, written in an arcane runic script.

Captain Liliana

The Great Pirate
Voiced by: Shizuka Ito
Artist: Haruyuki Morisawa

A notorious, elusive pirate who once haunted the continent's coastal waters, Liliana is said to have died at the hands of the monster Kraken, only to be resurrected by the Swamp Witch to be one of her henchwomen. Liliana, however, would have none of it, instead continuing to live according to "Pirate Ethics" set up by her revered grandmother, the Pirate Queen Artemis. Unlike other pirates, she shows a sense of honor and manners befitting a noblewoman, as well as respect to the elderly.

Siggy

The Inquisitor
Voiced by: Yu Kobayashi
Artist: Oda Non

  • Burn the Thieves! - It's what happens with the thieves who attacked her after she use one of her most powerful Holy Poses to kneeling them into submission.
  • Church Militant
  • Heel Face Turn - After being defeated by Annelotte in the final episode of the second Story Arc of the QB Rebellion's illustrated stories and after watching how evil her former leader was, she decides to side with Annelotte instead.
  • Knight Templar: While genuinely kind and compassionate to her flock, Siggy pretty much has "burn the heretic!" as her default reaction to anyone she perceives to be an enemy of her faith.
  • Nun-Too-Holy - Even more than Melpha!
  • Shout-Out: Siggy was a pen name used by Oda Non in the past.
  • The Inquisition - Part of her job, and just like the real, historical one, Siggy burns the thieves that attacked her and Ymir in the stake when they tried to steal to an old man in the QB Rebellion's second OVA
  • Underwear of Power
  • What the Hell, Hero? - Ymir calls her out after she burns the thieves in the stake after she defeats them for insulting God.

Luna-Luna

The Moon Dancer
Voiced by: Harumi Sakurai
Artist: F.S.

Mirim

The Ultra-Vibrating Valkyrie
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki

  • Berserk Button - Ilustrated Stories only: Despise being an awfuly shy and frail girl, there's a single thing that can really piss her off: Never try to force her to destroy her own town and kill her own family. Ymir learns this the hard way.
  • The Cutie
    • Spank the Cutie - Siggy tries to exorcise her when Mirim asked her help to take out her armor and Siggy spanks her.
  • Expy - Of both Lenneth Valkyrie (in her armor) and Platina (her civilian outfit)
    • Heck, there's even an small Homage from that game in Rebellion's anime in episode 6 when Mirim is picking some flowers in a flowery field for Ymir and it's similar to a scene in Valkyrie Profile in the beginning of the game when Lenneth is standing still in a flowery field.
  • Meaningful Name - Her name is a mispelling of Mimir, one of the Æsir of the Norse Mythology.
  • The Woobie - Ymir treats her like dirt and she's very klutzy, not too mention she has to wear that uncomfortable armor...


Supporting Characters

Setra

Voiced by: Fumihiko Tachiki

The Living Scepter of Menace.

  • Meaningful Name - And also Punny Name, his name is a combination between the Spanish word "cetro" (Scepter) and the name of the tragedy Sethona, written by the Scottish orientalist Alexander Dow and based in Menes, whose name Menace is based of.
  • Non-Human Sidekick
  • Dirty Old Man - Has the personality of one, at least.

Rana

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya

Cattleya and Owen's only son, who tags along with his mother.

Owen

Cattleya's missing husband and Rana's father.

  • The Blacksmith
  • Disappeared Dad
  • Dude in Distress: Aldra had him in her clutches for who knows how long.
  • Expy - Of his own son Rana, and also of Conan the Barbarian, possibly.
  • He Who Must Not Be Seen - We don't see his face (only his body), and he finally appears in the final episode of the second season, but played straight in the 3rd OVA, when we only can see him behind his back.
  • Hot Dad
  • Informed Ability: For the man said be a Dragon Slayer, he sure didn't show off such abilities, or how Aldra defeated him in the first place, did he put a fight or was easily overthrown? We will never know.
  • Retired Badass: The story says so... but we don't get see how badass he was, only that he retired to become a blacksmith.
  • Satellite Character: Given how little characterization Owen has, if any at all; it merely serves to stabilish Cattleya as a Hot Mom/Action Mom and give her a reason to compete on the Queen's Blade, she had to consumate with a man for Rana to exist after all.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene

Count Vance

Voiced by: Atsushi Ono

Claudette, Leina and Elina's father and a powerful nobleman.

  • Expy - Possibly (in the anime version), of Tesshin Kasumi, Kenshiro Kasumi's father.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold - He can be cruel to Claudette, but he still worries about her in his own way.
  • Karma Houdini - He's pretty lucky that Claudette, despise hating nobility, and disliking the way he treats her, still loves him, even if she had the chance of kill him or let him die at Risty's hands if she wanted it, especially when he arrested her for not being able to bring Leina back. Instead, she tries to getting Leina back home once again, after getting rid of the guards that arrested her.
  • He Who Must Not Be Seen - Played with: we don't see his face in the first episodes, but appears entirely in the rest of the series (and later playing an important role), but still played straight in the original gamebooks, the videogames (he appears as a shadow, but his silhouette is identical to his form in the anime) and the manga (albeit with a different character design).

Frollu

Elina's servant boy from the Hide & Seek manga.

Hachiel

The Brave Angel
Voiced by: Kokoro Kikuchi

Nanael's best friend and Morality Pet.

  • Action Girl - Subverted: she's the only female with no combat experience. At least until the 5th OVA.
  • Canon Foreigner - She's an anime-exclusive character.
  • Expy - She looks like an angelic version of Momo Velia Deviluke. What makes it funnier is that Momo has a twin sister named Nana.
  • In-Series Nickname - "Hachi" ("eight" in Japanese)
  • Keigo - She's very polite towards everyone, even with Nanael, who is her junior.
  • Morality Pet - For Nanael.
  • Satellite Character
  • Senpai Kohai - Inverted: Despise being Nanael's senior, she address her (in the Japanese version) as Nanael-san but she dropped this for a moment, when Nanael become a Fallen Angel in the 5th OVA.


Maria

http
//static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Maria_1614.png

The Holy Warrior
Voiced by: Sanae Kobayashi

Leina & Elina's biological mother (as well as Claudette's stepmother) who died years before the events of the series takes place.

  • Expy - Besides looking a lot like Leina, background-wise she shares many quirks with Marie Heinlein, Geese Howard's wife and Rock Howard's mother from Garou: Mark of the Wolves, since both were blondes, their respectives sons loved her and their respective deaths affected their sons even as grown-up. Depending of the continuity, she died fighting (anime) or died of an illness (manga), just like Marie Heinlein died in Garou.
  • She Who Must Not Be Seen - Even more than her husband in the Hide and Seek manga, since we don't see her face there, only her body, but averted later in the anime in the second season.
  • Hot Mom: Takes one to have daughters as hot as Leina and Elina.
  • Meaningful Name - OK, her name is Maria and her battle name is The Holy Warrior. Where I heard about that name before?
  • Multiple Choice Past - In the anime and the gamebooks, she died while fighting in a Queen's Blade tournament, but in the Hide and Seek manga she died due of illness instead.
  • Posthumous Character: Her death affected the whole Vance family really hard, to the grade her daughters are still dealing about the topic as grown-ups.
    • Death by Origin Story: But her death becomes the motivation for Leina to become a warrior at the beginning of the series
  • Strong Family Resemblance - She's basically Leina as an adult and with long hair.

Hans

The Souvenir Store Owner

  • Author Avatar - He's a collective avatar for Hobby Japan (the creators of the Queen's Blade franchise) as a whole.
  • Canon Foreigner - Played with it: He only appears physically in Menace's sidestory, in the Spiral Chaos games as the store owner who sell stuff to the players (until Cattleya and Ymir replaces him later on game) and as the faceless blogger in the Hobby Japan's Queen's Blade homepage, but he doesn't appear in the anime series or in the manga adaptations.
  • Quickly Demoted Man - We don't see him ever again after Cattleya and Ymir demoted him.

Belphe & Dogor

Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata (Belphe) and Masahito Yabe (Dogor)

A pair of plushies that Aldra had in her house in Rebellion, and they're possesed by a pair of two evil spirits summoned by Aldra after Ymir forces her to work for her in exchange of her husband.

  • Canis Major - When she's transforms into the mythological Nine-tailed Fox in her final attack.
  • Kansai Regional Accent - She is, along with Aine, one of the two characters from the Queen's Blade universe who use that accent.
  • Kitsune
  • Expy - Possibly from both Ran Yakumo and the other more nastier Nine-tailed fox everyone knows...
  • Meaningful Name - Tenko mean Celestial Fox in Japanese.
  • Shout-Out - Just like Humina, her attacks are taken mostly from Naruto: Not only her energy ball attack looks like Naruto's Rasengan, but in her final attack she transforms in not only the mythological monster she's based of, she looks a lot like the Naruto's version of that monster.

The Priestesses of Chaos
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki (both)

  • Back from the Dead - After you though you killed them for good in Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos, they return again in the sequel, but this time as your allies, and you have to help them.
  • Big Bad - In Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos, but they return in the sequel as your allies.
  • Creepy Twins

Weiss

The Conqueror of Darkness

Delmore

The Fallen Angel
Voiced by: Akira Ishida

A mysterious demon possessing Aldra.

  • Big Bad - He is the final enemy Leina and the other girls must face after she defeats Aldra in the final match of the Queen's Blade Tournament, where he reveals his true form.
  • Eldritch Abomination - At least in the anime. In the game books, he looks more like a stereotypical humanoid demon.
  • Not Quite Dead/Back for the Dead - In the last OVA... only for Tomoe to finish him off for good this time.
  • The Man Behind the Man - He is controlling Aldra, since he doesn't have a body of his own, at least in the anime series.
    • Unwitting Pawn - But it turns out that the Swamp Witch is controlling him for her ends during the whole second season.

Welveria

The Swamp Witch

An enigmatic and powerful witch, as well as master of Melona, Menace and Airi. She's revealed the Swamp Witch is a wicked entity who controls Welveria, the princess of the netherworld, who is also Aldra and Annelotte's mother.

  • Big Bad - She's behind all the events in both seasons and the OVAs. Made all the more notable by manipulating Delmore, the demon behind Aldra, as well as manipulating Claudette and blinding Tomoe in Rebellion.
    • Bigger Bad: And she's also the biggest threat (excluding the Spiral Chaos games) of all the Queen's Blade universe.
  • Evil Plan - She was controlling Aldra, Delmore and (in Rebellion) Claudette, and her real plans includes turning the Continent into a livingless wasteland, not to mention destroying the Queen's Blade tournament, since it's the only thing that keeps the world's status quo in check.
  • Expy - Background-wise, both Welveria and the Swamp Witch are expies of both Leyla and Karla The Gray Witch respectively from Record of Lodoss War.
    • Also, background-wise, Welveria is a Expy of Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader being the main villain and also the mother of two of the heroines, in this case Aldra and Annelotte.
  • Grand Theft Me - The real Swamp Witch doesn't have a body of her own and she needs a real body to use her full powers. For that, she use the body of Aldra and Annelotte's mother, Welveria, since she's the princess of the Netherworld.
  • Evil Matriarch
  • Omnicidal Maniac
  • The Voiceless - She never speaks onscreen, but her minions are the only ones who can understand her in some way or another.
  • She Who Must Not Be Seen - Inverted: we see her (ghostly) face, but it's not her real form and she's possibly human or at least humanoid.
    • Her Rebellion's gamebook reveals she is humanoid.
  • The Unexpected - You didn't expect her to be a playable character in Rebellion and not a simple NPC with a backstory behind her just like Delmore, didn't you?
Back to Queen's Blade
  1. ↑ who was born in Gaul, aka the modern France, hence Claudette's name, possibly.
  2. ↑ Except Elina wants to sleep with Leina and Jagi to kill Kenshiro instead
  3. ↑ The gamebooks describe her as hailing from the The King of Fighters series.
  4. ↑ The one during the final battle of the last episode of that series when Amuro shoots his Beam Rifle in a already trashed Gundam against Char in his Zeong's head when the rest of the body of that Mobile Armor was destroyed.
