**Elizabeth Hīragi** (エリザベス・柊 *Erizabesu Hīragi*) is the third princess of the Kingdom of Hīragi and the second closest friend of Shin Wolford who have a sibling-like relationship because of their childhood together, often playing together. Elizabeth was the only kid his age that he played with. Her power is said to rival that of Shin's.

## Appearance

Elizabeth is a beautiful girl with long silvery hair and bright red eyes. In the anime, she is depicted with red eyes, the pupils of which can appear slit, making them cat-like. When she experiences heightened emotion, her eyes glow. She has a petite build and is stated to be extremely beautiful by many people, and her peers describe her as having a delicate and beautiful face that impresses on them a hint of melancholy. She is fair-skinned with elongated canine teeth. Elizabeth has long silver hair going down just below her waist which has a light purple ombre. Her bangs cover her right eye. Merlin describes her as having clear, piercing red eyes that seemed to stare out at the world and skin so pale that it was almost transparent to her blood.

Elizabeth always wears a blue earring with the symbol of the Hīragi royal family, compromising of a cresent moon and an angelic figure.

## Personality

Elizabeth is a very polite, serene and caring individual who prefers a rather peaceful, diplomatic approach, even during war and tends to not put much emotion into her words.

At first glance, she is polite and befitting of her image as the princess, but it is just a persona for others to save face. She is notably more kind and unprejudiced towards commoners and doesn't abuse her status power unlike most nobles. This side of her also shows how she has more morals and maturity despite her age. Elizabeth shows a lot of respect and trust towards others, even addressing them with the titles 'lord' and 'lady' at first.

Elizabeth is a girl of few words: she doesn't talk a lot, not out of shyness but simply because she's reserved and polite. Although it may seem that she's not paying attention, she has a critical eye and is always keeping a close watch on her surroundings. She is emotionally detached to people she knows and keeps her friends away at an arm's length.

On the other hand, Elizabeth is surprisingly smart and clever, having brilliant deduction skills which allow her to analyze and solve different problems and come up with battle strategies with great ease and accuracy. She is a talented strategist who can remain calm and rational in chaotic situations. Despite being overall brilliant, Elizabeth gets very average grades. Elizabeth can always find a solution if she gives it enough thought or effort. It was mentioned that Elizabeth would make the best queen out of her sisters but due to her and age, it was decided that her oldest sister Margret would take the throne. She has been shown to have the best relationship Margret her eldest sister.

As a leader of her squad, Elizabeth takes a calm and strategic approach to situations.

Rarely, Elizabeth shows that she can have a scary and manipulating side, thought when pushed too far; she can become very violent when provoked. She can be quite cunning and mischievous, teasing her friends and rarely showing her sadistic trait. When murderous intents are directed at her, she does not scream, nor cry and simply remains silent, because she knows she has no choice but to accept whatever is to happen to her. Despite her hinted at horrendous upbringings and the torturous training she was put under before being rescued, Elizabeth has managed to remain generally positive and does not seem too psychologically affected by the pain she might have endured, demonstrating a noble, pure side of her.

## Background

Elizabeth, like her half-sister, Margaret Hīragi, was conceived through artificial insemination by using the seeds of Bartra Hīragi. This was imbued with a curse and placed in various demon-possessed women who were considered gifted. (This being the actual demon species that originate from hell). Elizabeth's mother died while giving birth to her. As a young girl Elizabeth was subject to experimentation which included scalpels and needles. At one point this took place every day in every part of her body including her head, chest and womb. She was aware that each time those experimenting on her would comment that there is no reaction from the demon and how the experiments were a failure. Elizabeth also knew that only two of the guinea pig human experiments were successful, herself and Margaret with no others like them able to be made. Asking the scientist present when she would be needed next, with it being a while Elizabeth remarked it was because she was herself quite incompetent and a disappointment. Elizabeth guessed that if they experimenting on her less then it was likely more was being done to her sister which exacerbated the disappointment she felt in herself.

Elizabeth was told to let the pain engrave deep in her mind. To not react no matter what torture they put her through and Elizabeth's ordeal included being told by Margaret that her existence has no value, that she is powerless with no will or emotions.
