* Light Novel
* Anime

**The Princess** (王妹殿下, *Ō-mai Denka*) is the younger sister of The King. Tired of her sheltered life, she sneaks outside but ends up getting kidnapped and taken to the Dungeon of the Dead by Goblins to be a virgin sacrifice.

## Appearance

The princess is a young girl whose appearance is notably similar to Priestess', albeit with shorter and more lustrous hair as well as a bigger chest.

## Personality

The princess is introduced as a boisterous young girl who longs to be an Adventurer and go outside like her brother. As such, she is discontent with having to stay indoors and other people making decisions for her. Her desire to adventure led her to "borrow" Priestess' vestments and equipment, though she felt guilty for doing so not long after.

After being rescued by Goblin Slayer's Adventurer Party, she developed an admiration for Priestess and converted to a belief in the Earth Mother as a result to become more like her.

## Chronology

### Background

The princess grew up spending much of her life being sheltered and having other people decide things for her. As a result, she developed the desire to venture the outside world as an Adventurer yet she also developed a very naive way of thinking.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 8

Discontent with how she wasn't allowed to go outside and be an Adventurer, the princess planned to sneak out at night to investigate the recent fallen "Flaming star". She came across Priestess in a bath house and after learning she was an Adventurer, asked about her equipment and rank so she could better understand how to be an Adventurer. Immediately after, she made off with Priestess' vestments, chain mail and staff, leaving a bunch of precious gems to compensate Priestess. After she took the equipment however, Princess started feeling guilty about what she had done.

At dawn, she decided to accompany a merchant, the cousin of her maid, on his way north so she can investigate the fallen star. However, an ambush by a horde of Goblin Riders forced them to flee. Still in the wagon, the princess tried to get onto the merchant's horse, but fell to the ground when the wagon hit a rock. Unable to defend herself, the princess was then taken captive by the Goblins to the Dungeon of the Dead, as the Goblin Priest had intended her to be used as a virgin sacrifice to resurrect a Greater Demon.

After her rescue, word spread that the princess had converted into a believer of the Earth Mother after a chance encounter with a certain cleric, wishing to grow up to be just like her.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 13

After learning about a festival in the Frontier Town was going to be feature a practice dungeon, Princess cooked up an excuse to come and inspect the Dungeon so she could enjoy the festival with Priestess. As she first arrived, she confessed while she was on official Temple business, her brother was not aware. Her escort, Sister Grape happily left her in Priestess' care so they could have fun, but not before mentioning out loud the two looked *identical*, almost "like sisters, twins even" as she put it.

While the twosome completed their inspection and had fun, Princess noticed a trio of "rookie" Adventurer girls who were Hero and her Party in their civilian disguises! Seeing that they were friends, Priestess excuses herself so they could catch up; as she left, Princess asked Hero "What terrible fate awaits the world now"?

Taking up the position of Priest for Hero's Party, Princess aids them in defeating an out of control rookie Sorcerer who took his magic too far. Annoyed that all her Quests held the fate of the World, Hero loudly declares she wants to go on a simple mission with her friends next, to which Princess agrees to go on with her.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 14

As her brother was once again buried in a mountain of paper work dealing with the never ending world ending threats plaguing his kingdom, Princess works with Silver-Haired Maid and Female Merchant in reigning her brother in from taking care of matters *himself*.

### Goblin Slayer Volume 16

During a jousting tournament, Princess was scheduled to make an official appearance, but was suddenly struck with an illness.

## Abilities

After the events of her kidnapping and being saved by Priestess, Princess becomes a devout Priest in the name of the Earth mother. In her short time training, Princess has become powerful enough to become an "on and off" member of the Hero's Party, functioning as their Priest implying Princess is *very* powerful and gifted as a Priest.

* **Miracles**: Being a Priest, Princess is capable of calling upon Miracles to perform powerful feats of White Magic.

## Trivia

* In the society of the *World of Goblin Slayer*, Twins are seen as an ill omen, with one being considered cursed. Princess was born with a twin sister, one that was given away to avoid the "Curse", however, since meeting Priestess, Princess has noticed she's been targeted as a virgin sacrifice multiple times, humorously believing she's "cursed".
* While not a confirmed member of Hero's Party, it is implied she functions as their Priest and Adventures with them regularly.
