"I'm a Villainess, So I Tried Raising the Last Boss" will be broadcast from October 2022, and we have already introduced the three main characters in another article. However, there are many unique characters around the main characters. There are excellent companions who support Irene's work, monsters and servants who serve the Demon King Claude, the Crown Prince Cedric and the heroine, etc. In this article, we would like to introduce these characters before the broadcast.
Excellent companions who help the main character Irene!
The main character Irene is surrounded by companions who adore her, and even after Irene's engagement is broken off, they follow her and work for her. I think it's because he's in love with Irene's charm as a person, not her status or fame.
1. Jasper Parrier
President of a small newspaper company. He met Irene through the investigation of a corruption case in which Cedric was impersonated during her engagement, and they became acquainted when they joined forces to investigate the case.
What kind of person is Jasper?
According to Irene, he is an elusive man, but he has an impartial perspective, and is a trustworthy person who won't say anything carelessly unless it's backed up by evidence, and keeps his mouth shut. Irene asks him to investigate in secret the embezzlement of subsidies to the Demon King Claude and his servants. Jasper is not a character that appears in otome games in the first place.
2. Isaac Lombard
Former classmate at school, the third son of the Lombard Count family. He used to be a merchant, but now he is an upstart aristocrat who has purchased a title. They became acquainted after being paired with each other for a school assignment, and she became interested in him because of his superior ability and quick thinking, and they became friends. He is good at brain battles and is highly trusted by Irene.
Isaac's feelings for Irene
He is very realistic and warned Irene during their engagement that "Prince Cedric is not the man you think he is." After the engagement was broken off, he left Cedric and returned to Irene. He told Irene how he felt about her, saying, "I thought I would marry you if you became a commoner." In the otome game, he was a distant relative of Marx and was not a target for conquest.
3. Doni
A genius boy who can do anything from architecture to design, he is also good at modeling and has made steam distillers necessary for cosmetics development. He helped Irene with the business she was trying to start during their engagement, but after the engagement was broken off, he was fired by Cedric. Irene entrusted him with renovating the Demon Castle in line with Claude's wishes, and this renovation was started by Irene with the idea of creating new jobs. A curious and innocent 16-year-old.
4. Backpack
A pharmacist in charge of product development, he also helped Irene develop and sell medicines in her business, but he was fired by Cedric and his prescription was taken away. He also demonstrates his strength in Irene's new business, developing and selling cosmetics for aristocrats. He is friendly, but actually quite devious.
5. Quartz
A quiet and kind botanist, he was fired along with Cedric and the others along with Luc. He was depressed when Cedric took all the plants he had painstakingly grown for Irene, but he is very interested in the plants in the Demon King's Forest. He and Luc run a pharmacy, which is said to be well-received for its reasonable prices and excellent effectiveness.
6. Rudolph Lauren Austria
He is the Prime Minister of the Elmeia Empire and Irene's kind (?) father. He is known as the most intelligent man in the Elmeia Empire. However, contrary to his gentle demeanor and appearance, he is a sadist at heart, and has a troublesome sexual habit of loving to see the misfortune of others. He even told Irene with a smile, "I was looking forward to when our engagement would be broken off." In fact, he has given up on the 16th Emperor Pierre and Cedric, and is carefully preparing to make Claude the next emperor.
Is Irene's excellence thanks to her father?
Trained by her sadistic father, Irene has a mentality that is not affected by ordinary slander and setbacks, and has developed the ability to choose solutions rather than crying, and fight rather than getting depressed. However, he is not just sadistic; he also taught Irene the education befitting the next empress, and had her involved in the management of the duke's business, so Irene became knowledgeable about politics and economics, and furthermore gained the trust of the working class, which resulted in her being surrounded by talented people. In reality, he seems to recognize Irene and thinks of her as a cute girl.
Servants of the Demon King Claude and the monsters he adores!
Claude was the former crown prince of the Elmeia Empire, but he gave up his right to the throne and now lives with monsters in a part of the empire known as the "Demon King's Castle." He is feared as a demon king, but he is very intelligent and kind, and hopes that both monsters and humans will not give up and will live peaceful days.
1. Keith Acegrid
The second son of the distinguished Viscount Acegrid family, he was trained from an early age as Claude's playmate and servant. When he was five years old, Claude used his magic to save him from drowning in a pond, which led to Claude being suspected of being the Demon King. Keith regrets this and swears his loyalty as a servant for the rest of his life.
A capable servant who supports Claude
He is trusted by Claude and is the caretaker of the Demon King. He is very capable and has a very high ability to gather information. He has a bright and sociable personality and has been friendly to Irene from the beginning. He is the only one who can criticize Claude to his face and force him to do his job. However, he has a problem that will cause a big stir later.
2. Belzebuth
Claude's aide, he has considerable magical power and combat ability for a monster. He is violent and foul-mouthed, but he is honest at heart and prioritizes Claude above all else. He hated humans, but he began to change little by little as he interacted with Irene, and he began to grow as he interacted with Irene's friends. He especially comes to trust Irene, and asks her to teach him human manners and language so that he can stand next to Claude as his servant during evening parties.
3. Almond
A gatekeeper crow monster, he is so good at speaking that he can monitor and gather information. In fact, he learns letters faster than Beelzebub. Irene lures him with sweets and makes him do various tasks. When he first met Irene, he was given an almond cookie with a numbing drug, and Irene started calling him Almond.
The heroine who charms the crown prince Cedric
Cedric, the second prince of the Elmeia Empire and the current crown prince, is Claude's half-brother. He confessed his feelings to Irene, but as Irene became more and more talented and became a strong woman, he began to dislike her. He has had a complex about the talented Claude since he was young, and he began to love the heroine who spoke to him kindly, so he broke off his engagement with Irene and tried to get engaged to the heroine instead. As Irene became closer to Claude, he became jealous and began to have distorted feelings towards Irene.
1. Lilia Rainwards
The daughter of Baron Rainwards, she is the heroine of the otome game "Saint, Demon and Maiden Regalia". She is the "Maiden of the Holy Sword" who possesses a holy sword that can defeat monsters. She is basically a good person, but she does not consider the consequences of her words and actions. When she took Cedric from Irene, she apologized, but did not think about what would happen after that, and she does not have any desire to understand people's hearts.
Is Lilia actually a reincarnated person?
Lilia is actually a reincarnated person, and her memories are revived during an event in the middle of the story. He has played the otome game "Saint, Demon and Maiden Regalia" more than Irene and remembers the details of events and the background setting of flags. Since he is the protagonist of this world, he uses his knowledge of the game to create the future he wants. As a result, he no longer cares about hurting people and prioritizes having fun.
2. Marks Cowell
A member of the Elmeia Imperial Knights, he is childhood friends with Cedric and Irene. He is Cedric's lackey and has already been conquered by Lilia. He has a strong sense of justice and is strict about injustice, but he is simple-minded and believes anonymous testimony at face value, believing Irene is in the wrong without any evidence. In the otome game "Saint, Demon, and Maiden Regalia," she is one of the targets.
Summary!
I've introduced the characters surrounding the three main characters, but what did you think? None of them are indispensable characters (monsters) in this story, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they will be portrayed in the anime. In particular, the heroine Lilia Rainwards is an important character in the story, just like the main characters, and the negotiations between the reincarnations of the villainess Irene and the heroine Lilia are not to be missed. Please look forward to the anime broadcast in October 2022, including those. Thank you for reading to the end.
