Denise

**Denise** (デニス, *Denisu*), also known as Princess **Hime Kuronekodesuchan** (ヒメ・クロネコデスーチャン, *Hime Kuronekodesuchan*) of the Nyan Nyan Tribe, is a player of ALfheim Online. She was one the roleplayers who discovered the game and is the ruler of the Cait Sith.

## Appearance

Hime has a petite figure, wavy, blonde hair surrounding her triangular cat ears. She wears a one-piece armour that exposes her tanned skin. Claw weapons hang from the sides of her waist, while a colourful stripe near her hips emphasises her tail. She also wears a bell collar on her neck and a cape on the left arm with a red stripe through it near the front.

## Personality

Not much is known about Denise's personality, but she seems to be a normal girl. In one of the brief glimpses of her real personality, she seems to be very annoyed by her cousin's personality, and voices her disbelief that Brain used to sleep with her.

As Hime, she presents herself as an overly cutesy cat girl, who insists on speaking in cat puns, even when trying to give important info. She occasionally uses Japanese words in sentences, although some of them aren't pronounced correctly or used grammatically correct. She refers to others with the honorific "sama" and insists that those below her call her "Princess Hime-Sempai".

## Differences from the Original

In the original, the leader of the Cait Sith isn't named Princess Hime Kuronekodesuchan of the Nyan Nyan Tribe, her name was Alicia Rue. It's also never revealed that her real name was Denise. Due to the roleplaying aspect not being as over the top in the original, she doesn't talk like a cutesy cat girl. It's never stated that Alicia was friends with any of the other leaders prior to ALO, nor is it stated that she was anyone's cousin, though she is stated to hang out with Sakuya's player IRL.

## Voice Actor

* In the Japanese dub, Alicia Rue is voiced by Chiwa Saitō.
* In the English dub, Alicia Rue is voiced by Cristina Vee.
* In the abridged series, Denise is voiced by Bread Breaderson.

## Trivia

* If her username was spelled using kanji, it would mean "Princess It's Princess Black Cat-Chan".
* Something Witty Entertainment forgot to tell Denise's voice actor, Bread Breaderson, that she got the role. She only found out the day she recorded the lines, when she was coincidentally visiting them.
* Most of the motivation behind Denise's screen name was to annoy MrBuddyVA.
