Character Story

Maximilia, the First Princess of the Empire, was born as the rightful heir to the imperial throne. From a young age, she studied martial arts, politics, and military science, delving deeply into her duties and role. Though the Empire she sought to protect fell to ruin due to the Rifts, she understood her responsibility all too well.

She was no longer a princess, but she rallied the survivors and successfully led the Great Escape. Thanks to her leadership, many of those she led arrived safely on Earth, and under her efforts, they were integrated into Earth's society in exchange for their pledge to fight on behalf of their new home.

Since then, she has continued to support her people in their difficult settlement, contemplating whom she must now protect.
