## History

### Origins

300 years ago, she appears in Sky Land alongside Skihead, where she is told by her father, Emperor Underg that she shouldn't have come. Skihead proceeds to take her back to Underg Empire, but the Empress is worried about her father, as she believes fighting only brings tears.

In the Underg Empire, she tells Skihead that she believes strength isn't everything, but her feelings are ignored. In Sky Land, Empress Underg is harassed by two birds, when she is helped by Princess Elaine. Empress Underg asks Elaine to stop the fighting, and in turn, she'll convince her father to stop as well. However, when she, her father and Elaine meet to have a discussion, she learns that it was a trap, and that Skihead is attacking Sky Land as they speak. Empress Underg is trapped in an Underg Energy barrier, and begs Noble to stop fighting her father. Upon escaping from the barrier, Empress Underg jumps in front of Magic Hour's End, causing a wound to open up on her chest. Empress Underg begs Noble to forgive her father, and listens as Noble asks Emperor Underg to heal her wound. Upon returning to the royal city with her father and Elaine, Empress Underg is given all the credit for stopping the fight, and creating peace between Sky Land and Underg Empire. During Sky Land's peaceful times with Underg Empire, she once gives Elaine a doll for Elaine's birthday. However, their friendship comes to an end after Elaine strikes Emperor Underg. However, it turns out Skihead altered her memories after she witnesses him killing her father, so she would blame Elaine for the Emperor's death instead.

### First Appearance

After Kabaton's failures, she contacts Kabaton to warn him about bringing Elle= back to Underg Empire as soon as possible. After Kabaton loses to the Cures multiple times, she warns Kabaton that he has one last chance as she has a lightning bolt strike an object near him.

When Minoton trains in a gym, she contacts him about why he hasn't been capturing Elle. Angered by his response, Empress Underg electrocutes him, and sends Skihead to fight the Cures. She is then informed by Skihead about Elle, and approves of Skihead's plan to kill the princess before she destroys the Underg Empire.

### Meeting the Cures

Despite Skihead's concerns for her injuries, she decides it's time for her to stand on the battlefield. Empress Underg enters Sky Land, where she is seen by the Cures. She informs them that a safe place no longer exists, before revealing herself to be their enemy. Empress Underg attacks the Cures with Underg Energy, and notices Elle, where she declares she'll get her revenge over what happened 300 years ago. Instead of telling the Cures what happened, she instead orders them to use their strongest attack to try to stop her from destroying Sky Land. Empress Underg manages to easily overpower Majestic Halation, and force the Cures to de-transform. Empress Underg confronts Elle, but before she can do anything, she is stopped by the power of the Majestic Chroniclon.

She is filled with more rage when she is asked what changed about her in the last 300 years by Sora and Mashiro. The Empress decides to eliminate the Cures instead of Sky Land first, and produces stronger Underg Energy than before. Empress Underg refuses to discuss what happened, thinking the Cures know nothing at all. However, her rage re-opens her wound, so she is rescued by Skihead before Majestic Halation can hit her.

When recovering from her wound, she begs Skihead not to leave her, but has no choice other than to allow him to do so after knowing that Majesty has completely awaken. Upon witnessing Skihead's death, Empress Underg is devastated, going as far as to breaking out of her recovery device and confronting the team. She then reveals the truth to them that Elaine killed her father despite the truce, hence her burning desire for revenge.

### Defeated and Betrayed by Skihead

She then powers herself up with an abundance of Underg Energy to fight against the Cures and destroy the barrier. But she begins to realize how her philosophy has been disproved by both the Cures, people of Sky Land, and even her former subordinates. Unfortunately for Empress Underg, just as she is purified and about to understand what the Cures are trying to teach her, her abdomen is stabbed with a spear by Skihead. Upon realizing Skihead has manipulated and betrayed her, she is devastated. She is then taken back to Underg Empire, where she is used as a bait to trap Sky and Prism. She begs Sky not to fight against Darkhead, but to no avail. Fortunately, her wound is healed by Cure Prism's light. She finally gets to talk with Cure Sky, and she makes peace with both the Cures and Sky Land. When Skihead attempts to manipulate her again just to use her as his vessel, the Empress succeeds in expelling him from her body thanks to her friendship with the Cures. She then encourages the Cures to fight against Daijarg.
