Benetnash

**Benetnash** (ベネトナシュ, *Benetonashu*) is the Vampire Princess who founded the Kingdom of Mjolnir. She is the strongest of the Seven Heroes and is still alive. Famed for her extraordinary strength, having escaped the Demon King's curse.

## History

She was born about six hundred years ago during 2400 Midgard Calendar in the vampire kingdom, Blikjandaböl located on Éljúðnir, one of the four great continents in Midgard. Although she was a member of the royal family, Benetnash never truly felt a sense of belonging as she wasn't abused and even loved, but Benetnash didn't care and wasn't disappointed, because she saw everyone as not the same as her species but saw them as monkeys.

At the age of ten, Benetnash embarked on her first hunt alongside her siblings, bravely facing a wyvern that was five times her size and easily defeating it. She continued to hunt monsters, steadily growing in strength until she became the strongest vampire in the kingdom. Being at the apex of vampires thus brought everyone to their knees including the king and queen, making her the new ruler of the vampire kingdom. Her people, even including her own parents, bowed to her and began to worship her.

Four hundred years later, she had cleared Éljúðnir of all monsters and continued to search for an opponent who could match her strength. Her opportunity for a challenge presented itself when an invader, a heaven-winged girl, attacked her territory. Benetnash did not take the invasion seriously and was ended defeated. She agreed to join forces with Ruphas on the condition that they would have a rematch. However, her companions betrayed Ruphas, leading to Benetnash losing interest in everything.

Two hundred years passed, and Benetnash spent her days in boredom until she heard the news that the Black-Winged Conqueror had been revived. This news broke all sense of calmness within her and sparked her interest once more.

## Appearance

Benetnasch is an adorable girl with striking features that have remained unchanged for two hundred years. She has snow-white skin, blood-red eyes, and flowing silver hair. Her facial features are almost too well-proportioned, giving her an otherworldly appearance. Despite her age, she physically looks around fourteen years old. Her attire is a mix of white and black, wearing a white, long-sleeved blouse and a black skirt. She also wears a black coat over her shoulders, not making use of the sleeves.

## Personality

Benetnash is an ambitious and highly individualistic individual. She has a great desire to achieve greater and higher power for her own personal interests. She has a very low view of she fellow her species, considering them as monkeys and not regarding them as the same species as herself. Feeling herself more special than others, she falls into loneliness and has difficulty relating to others.

However, despite appearing apathetic, Benetnash has a sensitive emotional side and becomes very excited when she encounters an opponent who matches her level, such as Ruphas. She also has a somewhat tsundere-like personality, which makes it difficult for her to express her feelings openly. She tends to exhibit a cold and distant attitude towards others, but in her heart, she may have deeper and more emotional feelings that she does not always express. Despite not caring about others, she can show caring traits when the situation requires it.
