10	!!Count Vance
11	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Snap_2012_02_21_18h43m53s_002__2730.png]]
12	->'''Voiced by:''' Atsushi Ono (Japanese), Creator/DanGreen (English)
13	Claudette, Leina and Elina's father and a powerful nobleman.
14	----
15	* {{Expy}}: Possibly (in the anime version), of [[http://hokuto.wikia.com/wiki/Tesshin_Kasumi Tesshin Kasumi]], [[Manga/FistOfTheBlueSky Kenshiro Kasumi's father.]]
16	* FantasyForbiddingFather: In his mind, all Leina needs to learn is how to succeed him. Anything else about the world is unnecessary.
17	* TheGhost: Just like Owen, he never appeared in any adaptation excluding the animated one, although he's partly visible in the ''Hide And Seek'' manga and the videogames. Also, his physical description is different between adaptations.
18	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Played with: we don't see his face in the first episodes, but he appears entirely in the rest of the series (and later plays an important role for the CharacterDevelopment of his daughters). It's still played straight in the original gamebooks, the videogames (he appears as a shadow, but his silhouette is identical to his form in the anime) and the manga (same as the videogame, albeit with a different character design).
19	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be cruel to Claudette, but he still worries about her in his own way.
20	* KarmaHoudini: He's pretty lucky that Claudette, despite hating nobility and disliking the way he treats her, still loves him, even if she had the chance of kill him [[spoiler:or let him die at Risty's hands]] if she wanted it, especially when he arrested her for not being able to bring Leina back. Ironically, he does loses his power at the end of the anime series, but that's due to hatred against what his ancestors did rather than punishment for his actions. Ultimately he never gets any direct comeuppance for the way he treats his daughters.
21	* MinorMajorCharacter: One of the most powerful nobleman in the Continent, but he only appears in the story when his daughters need some family drama.
22	* SatelliteCharacter: His entire character revolves around his relationship with his daughters and wife. Remove those four and he becomes a non-character.
23	* UnnamedParent: We only know his last name, but not his full name.
24	----
25
26	!!Maria
27	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maria_vance_4.jpg]]
28	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SanaeKobayashi
29	->'''Title:''' The Holy Warrior (anime), The Master Swordswoman[[note]]''Kensei'' or Sword Saint[[/note]] (Gamebook continuity), The Beast Princess (novels)
30	Leina and Elina's biological mother (as well as Claudette's stepmother) who died years before the events of the series.
31	----
32	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:The Swamp Witch revives her in the novels...]]
33	* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:...with the added skill of being able to transform herself into a weretigress.]]
34	* CynicismCatalyst: Her death is the reason why everyone in the Vance family (minus Leina, to a degree) is so mentally scarred.
35	* DeathByOriginStory: Her death becomes the motivation for Leina to become a warrior at the beginning of the series.
36	* {{Expy}}: Besides looking a lot like Leina, background-wise she shares many quirks with ''Marie'' Heinlein, Geese Howard's wife and Rock Howard's mother from [[VideoGame/FatalFury Garou: Mark of the Wolves]], since both were blondes, their respectives sons loved them and their respective deaths affected their sons even as grown-ups. [[MultipleChoicePast Depending of the continuity]], she died fighting (anime) or died of an illness (manga), just like Marie Heinlein died in ''Garou''.
37	** In the novels [[spoiler:she is an expy of both Marie and her husband ''[[VideoGame/FatalFury Geese]]'' when the Swamp Witch brings her back to life]].
38	* KilledOffScreen: The animated series is the only adaptation that even shows the aftermath of her death in a flashback scene, when some soldiers bring to her husband her blood-stained armor.
39	* TheLostLenore: For everyone in her family.
40	* MasterSwordswoman: She was this when alive.
41	* MeaningfulName: OK, her name is ''Maria'' and her battle name is ''The Holy Warrior''. [[Literature/TheBible Where I heard about that before?]]
42	** Not to mention one of the [[SpellMyNameWithAnS many translations of Leina's battle name]] is ''The Exiled Virgin''.
43	* MultipleChoicePast: In the anime and the gamebooks, she died while fighting in a Queen's Blade tournament, but in the ''Hide and Seek'' manga she died due to an illness instead.
44	* NotSoSmallRole: As you can see, despite dying before the events of the series began, she plays a very important role in the development of her daughters and husband. [[spoiler:She is a more literal example of this in the novels, where the Swamp Witch brings her back to life.]]
45	* PosthumousCharacter: Her death affected the whole Vance family ''really hard'', to the degree her daughters are still ''dealing'' about the topic as grown-ups.
46	* SheWhoMustNotBeSeen: Even more than her husband in the ''Hide and Seek'' manga, since we don't see her face there, only her body, but averted later in the second season of the anime and in the novels.
47	* StrongFamilyResemblance: She's basically Leina as an adult, with long hair and without Leina's braids. Averted in the novels, where she looks different from Leina.
48	* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: According to Echidna in the QB's novelizations, she considers her as a "kindred spirit" and as a really nice woman in her lifetime. In fact, it's implied her death also affected ''Echidna'' in some way, since she's trying to protect her daughters in her own way, no matter what.
49	----
50
51	!!Setra
52	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Setra_2054.png]]
53	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FumihikoTachiki (TV series), Creator/NorioWakamoto (Drama CD) (Japanese); Billy Regan (English)
54	The Living Scepter of Menace.
55	----
56	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Sort of. The ''Unlimited'' reboot changed him from Living Scepter to Living Ring.
57	* CassandraTruth: He knew Anarista couldn't be trusted, but Menace refused to listen to him until it was too late. One of her last regrets in her old life was being unable to apologize to Setra for not listening to him.
58	* DirtyOldMan: Has the personality of one, at least.
59	* MeaningfulName: And also PunnyName, his name is a combination between the Spanish word "cetro" (Scepter) and the name of the tragedy ''Sethona'', written by the Scottish orientalist Alexander Dow and based in Menes, whose name Menace is based of.
60	* NonHumanSidekick: To Menace, although he can't play this trope completely straight because Menace herself isn't human anymore.
61	* PungeonMaster: In the English dub, a lot of his dialogue is this.
62	* SatelliteCharacter: Outside of being Menace's NonHumanSidekick, his only character trait is being a pervert.
63	* SeenItAll: In ''Queen's Blade Bitoshi Retsuden: Tome of the Ancient Princess'', he didn't seem very surprised to see Menace again a thousand years after her death. The implication is that he knew it was possible to resurrect someone, even if he didn't know about the Swamp Witch at this point. Given that he has lived for millennia, it makes sense.
64	* UndyingLoyalty: Quite literally towards Menace. She died, came BackFromTheDead, and he is still faithfully following her.
65	----
66
67	!!Anarista
68	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anarista.jpg]]
69	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NaomiShindo (Drama CD)
70	->'''Title:''' The Scorpion of Amara
71	A girl from the Kingdom of Sadler (the rival kingdom from Amara, the one who Menace hails from) who becomes Menace personal martial arts trainer (and possibly her lover). She was actually [[TheMole a mole from her kingdom]] who ended off betraying her and destroying Amara, killing Menace and her family in the process. She only appears in Menace's [[AllThereInTheManual backstory]] from the gamebooks.
72	----
73	* CanonForeigner: Beside a brief, voiceless, cameo in the TV series in Menace's flashbacks, she only appears in ''Queen's Blade Bitoshi Retsuden: Tome of the Ancient Princess'' backstory about Menace.
74	* {{Expy}}: Backstory-wise, of Ougai (Souther's sensei) from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''. Appearance-wise, she's a dead ringer for Anck-Su-Namun from ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'', even sharing some of her backstory i.e the favourite concubine of the pharaoh who proceeded to betray them, leading to their deaths.
75	* FalseFriend: She pretended to care about Menace just to be close to her. She later turns her and her country into mince meat.
76	* KarmaHoudini: She managed to destroy Amara and kill Menace and her family, and it seems she never got the punishment she deserved.
77	* MeaningfulName: Her name is a [[SpellMyNameWithAnS deformation]] of the Spanish and Portuguese word ''Analista'' (Analyst). Since her job is being TheMole for her kingdom, it's quite fitting.
78	* TheMole: A mole of the Kingdom of Sadler who ultimately managed to destroy the rival kingdom of Amara.
79	* TrojanHorse: The way how she brings Sadler's army to Amara using a gift box, symbolizing their surrender towards Amara. Crosses with ISurrenderSuckers.
80	* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Specifically, she turned against her queen (and possibly lover) Menace.
81	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: She used ProfessionalWrestling moves, which is a very odd choice of fighting style, since her student Menace's fighting style resemble [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Souther's Nanto Ho'ou-ken]] instead.
82	----
83
84	!!Rana
85	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rana_4424.png]]
86	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieKugimiya (Japanese), Creator/EvaChristensen (English)
87	Cattleya and Owen's only son, who tags along with his mother.
88	----
89	* AscendedExtra: From being a minor character in Cattleya's backstory whose only role was being TheLoad for her mother to having an independent role and CharacterDevelopment in the animated adaptations.
90	* CharacterDevelopment: Starts showing signs of growth after his time with Airi, becoming more reliable and focused.
91	* DudeLooksLikeALady: You'd be forgiven if you thought he was girl at first. Justified due to him being very young.
92	* {{Expy}}: Has a passing resemblance with Taro from ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories''.
93	** And just like his mom, he shares some backgrounds with Ohgami Daigoro from ''Manga/LoneWolfAndCub'', except he's not an assassin like Daigoro.
94	* GenreBlind:[[spoiler:He's affected by this in the [=OVAs=], when he tries to go after Airi, forgotting he's JustAKid and the fact that, being a male, he doesn't have a place in a female-oriented society]].
95	* HumanShield: His mother uses him as a shield sometimes and he doesn't seem to mind.
96	* TheLoad: Rana literally hangs off of Cattleya during battles, often in inconvenient positions.
97	* MoeCouplet: With his mother Cattleya, as well as Airi.
98	* MommasBoy: Adores his mother, and she loves him just as much.
99	* MoralityPet: For Airi, being the first human she shows some kindness to.
100	* TagalongKid: Follows his mother as she goes to fight in the tournament.
101	* VagueAge: Averted, as Hobby Japan have explicitly stated he's 7 years old, even if the art in many adaptations [[DependingOnTheArtist depicts him a bit older than he should be]].
102	----
103
104	!!Owen
105	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/owen_2_7.jpg]]
106	->'''Voiced by:''' Uncredited (Japanese), Creator/WayneGrayson (English)
107	Cattleya's missing husband and Rana's father.
108	----
109	* TheBlacksmith: Became one alongside his wife after retiring.
110	* DisappearedDad: For Rana, albeit the story gives more focus to him being a Disappeared Husband.
111	* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Aldra had him in her clutches for who knows how long]].
112	* {{Expy}}: Of his own son Rana, and also of Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, possibly. He's also possibly inspired, taking into account how Cattleya describes him in the original gamebook continuity, in Xemn Worzen from ''VideoGame/LegacyOfTheWizard'' (aka ''Dragon Slayer 4: Drasle Family'' in Japan), except Owen uses swords, compared with Xemn's axes and he doesn't have a mustache like Xemn.
113	* TheGhost: Despite being the main motivation for Cattleya entering the tournament, he never appeared physically in any adaptation, excluding the animated one, and his physical description according with Cattleya in other continuities is different from the anime, including having a mustache and scars.
114	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: We don't see his face (only his body) in most entries of the franchise. He finally appears in the final episode of the second season of the anime, but this is played straight again in the 3rd OVA, when we can only see his back.
115	* InformedAbility: For the man said be a Dragon Slayer, he sure didn't get to show such abilities. [[spoiler:We don't even know how Aldra defeated him in the first place. Did he put a fight or was easily overthrown? This is never answered]].
116	* RetiredBadass: The story says so... but we don't get see how badass he was, only that he retired to become a blacksmith.
117	* SatelliteCharacter: Given how little characterization Owen has, if any at all; it merely serves to stabilish Cattleya as an ActionMom and give her a reason to compete on the Queen's Blade. She had to consumate with a man for Rana to exist after all.
118	* WalkingShirtlessScene: In the anime, he is not wearing a shirt when he finally appears.
119	----
120
121	!!Fiotiel Shalaklard
122	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qbsou05.jpg]]
123	A effeminate boy who travels alongside Leina in the ''Queen's Blade: Sword of The Unicorn'' novelizations, and the owner of the titular "Sword of The Unicorn".
124	----
125	* AmnesiacHero: He doesn't remember much about his past. It's later revealed [[spoiler:he's the incarnation of the Great Unicorn, the King of the Sacred Beasts of Heaven]].
126	* CanonForeigner: An original character of the novels.
127	* DeliberatelyCuteChild: He knows he looks like a small girl and exploits this as much as he can to save his skin.
128	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Yes, that cute girl in a dress is a guy. Easy to see why Leina and the others mistook him for a girl in the beginning.
129	* {{Expy}}: Judging by his background, of [[Manga/SaintSeiya Andromeda Shun]], including both being effeminate, having IntimateHealing skills and [[spoiler:being a LivingMacGuffin, in Fio's case, of the Great Unicorn, just like Shun is one for Hades.]]
130	* InSeriesNickname: Fio.
131	* IntimateHealing: He can instantly heal the wounds of any person [[MagicKiss he kisses]].
132	* TheOneGuy: He's the only relevant male character in the novel, but as an interesting quirk, he's the only male who [[spoiler:has kissed Leina, something that doesn't happen in the regular continuity]].
133	* VirginPower: An odd example where the power of one person relies on the virginity of another. When he [[IntimateHealing heals someone]], their wounds are transfered to him, unless the person is a virgin. In that case the wounds are healed and Fio won't suffer anything.
134	----
135
136	!!The Head Archangel
137	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/head_angel.jpg]]
138	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakakoHonda (Japanese), Allison Cohen (English)
139	The main leader of the angelic society in Heaven, Nanael and Hachiel's boss and the organizer of the Queen's Blade tournament.
140	----
141	* BigGood: Or the closest thing to one in the QB universe.
142	* CanonForeigner: She only appears in the animated adaptation.
143	* DemotedToExtra: She provides narration at the beginning and in the end of the animated adaptation of ''Rebellion'', but she doesn't physically appear anymore.
144	* NarratorAllAlong: Heavily implied, since the narrator [[Creator/TakakoHonda shares the same voice actress with her]].
145	* NoNameGiven: Her name is currently unknown. If all the angels are named after Japanese ordinals, it could be Ichiel ("ichi" being Japanese for "one").
146	----
147
148	!!Hachiel
149	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hachiel_7_5.jpg]]
150	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KokoroKikuchi (Japanese); Elizabeth Williams (Season 1), Emlyn Morinelli (Season 2) (English)
151	->'''Title:''' The Brave Angel
152	Nanael's best friend and MoralityPet.
153	----
154	* ActionGirl: Subverted: she's the only female with no combat experience. [[spoiler:At least until the 5th OVA.]]
155	* [[ByTheBookCop By-the-Book Angel]]: Unlike Nanael, she follows the laws of the heaven to the core, no matter what. [[spoiler:Even if that means trying to kill her friend Nanael after she becomes a FallenAngel, albeit Nanael attacked her first]].
156	* CanonForeigner: She's an anime-exclusive character.
157	* {{Expy}}: She looks like an angelic version of [[Manga/ToLoveRu Momo Velia Deviluke]]. What makes it funnier is that Momo has a twin sister named ''Nana''.
158	** She's also an expy from an angel named Liliel who's only named (but never appeared) in Nanael's ending epilogue after failing to win the tournament in the gamebooks' continuity.
159	** She also resembles [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Alisa Boskonovitch]].
160	* InSeriesNickname: "Hachi" ("eight" in Japanese).
161	* MoralityPet: For Nanael, being one of the few people she treats remotely decently.
162	* SatelliteCharacter: Her entire character revolves around Nanael.
163	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As a result of Nanael being DemotedToExtra, she doesn't appear in the animated adaptation of ''Rebellion''.
164	----
165
166	!!Hans
167	[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hans_1.jpg]]
168	->'''Voiced by:''' Tomohisa Asou (Drama [=CDs=])
169	->'''Title:''' The Souvenir Store Owner
170	A merchant from Gainos who sells figurines of the Queen's Blade participants and other exotic items in his popular souvenir shop.
171	----
172	* AuthorAvatar: He's a collective avatar for Hobby Japan (the creators of the ''Anime/QueensBlade'' franchise) as a whole.
173	* CanonForeigner: Played with: He appears physically in Menace's [[AllThereIntheManual sidestory]], in the ''Spiral Chaos'' games as the store owner who sell stuff to the players (until Cattleya and Ymir replaces him later on game) and as the faceless blogger in Hobby Japan's ''Anime/QueensBlade'' homepage, but not in the anime series or in the manga adaptations.
174	%%* DirectLineToTheAuthor: Implied somewhat, especially in the gamebook continuity, being the avatar for Hobby Japan.
175	* [[QuicklyDemotedWoman Quickly Demoted Man]]: We don't see him ever again after Cattleya and Ymir demoted him.
176	* TheVoiceless: He doesn't speak in the videogames, despite having a voice actor in the Drama [=CDs=], unlike Cattleya and Ymir.
177	----
178
179	!!Florelle
180	[[quoteright:197:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imagem3.jpg]]
181	A knight-in-training in the Vance household, appointed by Claudette to serve as a retainer to Elina during the course of the Queen's Blade Tournament. Appears only in the ''Hide & Seek'' manga.
182	----
183	* CanonForeigner: An original character of the ''Hide & Seek'' manga.
184	* {{Expy}}: The author admits in the last volume of the manga that Florelle was based on Fio from the ''Sword of The Unicorn'' novels, [[spoiler:except she is a girl dressing as a boy, rather than a boy dressed as a girl.]]
185	%%* ImTakingHimHomeWithMe: Causes this kind of reaction in some of the female characters.
186	* IOweYouMyLife: He's thankful for Claudette for saving him and thus continue to serve her and her sisters despite how bad Elina treats him.
187	* NaiveNewcomer: To the world of Queen's Blade in general. Florelle doesn't know much about the tournament and has a rather naive view of how the world works.
188	* SweetPollyOliver: [[spoiler:At the end of the manga it's revealed that Florelle is actually a girl.]]
189	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: In the QB Rebellion's manga adaptation, she joins the Assasins of the Fang when Elina becomes their leader.]]
190	* UndyingLoyalty: To Elina. Despite her being a very MeanBoss, Florelle never even considers abandoning her.

195	!!Belphe & Dogor
196	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belphe_&_dogor.jpg]]
197	[[caption-width-right:350:Dogor (left) and Belphe (right)]]
198	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsuoIwata (Belphe) and Masahito Yabe (Dogor)
199	A pair of plushies that Aldra had in her house in ''Rebellion'', they're possesed by a pair of evil spirits summoned by Aldra after Ymir tricks her into working for her.
200	----
201	* BearsAreBadNews: Belphe is possessing a teddy bear.
202	* CastingGag: It's not the first time Creator/MitsuoIwata (Belphe) voice [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters someone]] who likes to [[VideoGame/TengaiMakyou play with fire]], or [[Anime/{{Vandread}} some small fellow]] who [[Anime/GaoGaiGar follows another protagonist]].
203	* [[CreepyDoll Creepy Plushies]]: They are possessed by actual demons. It doesn't get any creepier than that.
204	* CuteIsEvil: But to be fair, "cute plush" isn't their original form.
205	* DirtyOldMan: Both of them, maybe even more than ''Setra!''
206	* ImAHumanitarian: They want to eat Aldra at first and later anyone who stands in their way.
207	* MeaningfulName: Both characters are named after ''Belphegor'', one of the seven princes of Hell in Demonology and related with lust, hence why both of them are [[DirtyOldMan so perverted.]]
208	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Belphe somehow manages to have as much teeth as a shark despite currently possessing a plushie.
209	* TheOneGuy: Along with Taira (Huit's assistant) and Dogura, they are the only recurrent males in ''Rebellion''. And not only that: While they're not humans, they're the ''only males'' in the entire ''Queen's Blade'' franchise (excluding Jean from the videogames) able to fight against any named female character ''on equal footing'', [[spoiler:and they could have killed both Annelotte and Izumi if Maria/Leina had not come to their aid.]]
210	* PlayingWithFire: Belphe can control fire.
211	* ShoutOut: In episode 9 of the ''QB Rebellion'' TV series, [[spoiler:during the battle against Annelotte and Izumi, Belphe does something similar to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII M.Bison's Psycho Crusher]]. This could be a hilarious CastingGag, if you know that [[Creator/MitsuoIwata Belphe's VA]] voiced ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Sean Matsuda!]]]]''
212	** Also [[spoiler:Belphe's OneWingedAngel form when fighting against Annelotte is a very ironic ShoutOut towards ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' if you take into account his voice actor also voiced '''[[TheHero Kaneda]]''' in [[Manga/{{Akira}} that movie. Belphe as a whole also counts as a shout out towards the famous killer teddy bears scene in that film.]]]]

214
215	!!Dogura
216	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1_18_3.jpg]]
217	->'''Voiced by:''' Binbin Takaoka (Japanese), Creator/MikePollock (English)
218	A goblin who is Branwen's master and one the Swamp Witch's minions, being the only male one.
219	----
220	* AscendedExtra: From being a quasi-comical character who enjoys torturing Branwen, to being a quite competent military leader in the ''Vanquished Queens'' [=OVAs=].
221	* CastingGag: English dub only: His voice actor already has some experience voicing misogynistic bastards, like [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Adon]].
222	* DirtyOldMan: Like Setra, he has the personality of one.
223	* {{Expy}}: He's a composite expy of both [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Watto]] and [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Jabba The Hutt]], with the personalities of those characters mixed in a single charcater.
224	* {{Gonk}}: He's a friggin' ''goblin''! You cannot get something uglier than that.
225	* FatBastard: His body is almost perfectly round, and he is a colossal {{Jerkass}}.
226	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:The only thing he gets from all the crap he did in the ''Vanquished Queens'' first [=OVA=], at best, is [[LiteralAssKicking being bitten in the ass by some wild squirrel]], as Tomoe forgives him and Branwen, and she let both of them them go scot free. This also overlaps with ForegoneConclusion as the whole plot of the [=OVAs=] takes place before the events of the ''Rebellion'' TV series]].
227	* KnightOfCerebus: In the ''Vanquished Queens'' [=OVA=]. He is the antagonist of the first episode, establishing how dark this [=OVA=] series will be.
228	* LackOfEmpathy: Quite possibly the most disgusting villain of the whole franchise, as he enjoy torturing his opponents and breaking them emotionally with terrible means.
229	* TheNapoleon: Especially in the ''Vanquished Queens'' first [=OVA=], when he's the smallest member of the goblin tribe, but he's the one in charge.
230	* NightmareFetishist: In his own words, torturing his prisoners, especially if they are beautiful women, excites him.
231	* TheOneGuy: He's the only male among the Swamp Witch's minions.
232	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: For the [[ImprobablyFemaleCast standards of the franchise]], the way he treats women invokes this trope.
233	* ShockAndAwe: He forces Branwen to fight by using electricity on her, and this is one of his favorites torture methods.
234	* TortureTechnician: This little guy could give ''[[VideoGame/MetalGear Revolver Ocelot]]'' a run for his money in the torture department, especially in the ''Vanquished Queens'' [=OVA=].
235	* UnsexySadist: How could a sadist ''goblin'' be sexy in first place?
236	* WouldHitAGirl: And he will do.. ''many times''.

241	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka (Japanese), Tony A. Campbell (English)
242	A human boy who works for Huit as a journalist of sorts. And that's the only thing we know about him.
243	----
244	* CanonForeigner: He only appears in the animated adaptation of ''Rebellion'', as Huit didn't have any friends besides Annelotte in the Illustraded Stories and other continuities.
245	* {{Expy}}: Of both [[Anime/KikisDeliveryService Tombo]] and ComicBook/JimmyOlsen
246	* FlatCharacter: He is a strong contender for flatter character in the franchise. The only character trait he has is being incompetent at his job.
247	* SatelliteCharacter: He works for Huit. That's the only thing the anime ever tells about him.

250	!!Mime and Meena
251	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mime_&_meena_profile.jpg]]
252	[[caption-width-right:350:Mime (left) and Meena (right)]]
253	A duo of Wraith maids working under both Werbellia The Swamp Witch and Airi's orders who appear retroactively in the ''Rebellion'' continuity (both animated and gamebook respectively), albeit their roles in each continuty differs from each other.
254	----
255	* CatGirl: Mime, and a [[CatsAreMean very mean one]].
256	* InformedAbility: According to the Swamp Witch's gamebook, Mime is able to [[GrandTheftMe control the body of any living being and manipulate it for her own gain]], but that ability is never used anywhere.
257	* InformedFlaw: Also, according to the Swamp Witch's gamebook, Meena is very ambitious and wants to rule the world of the living along her master as her consul, since she came from a noble family of wraiths, but this point is never explored in any adaptation.
258	* LackOfEmpathy: Unlike Airi, their boss along with Werbellia, they're both unrepentely evil to the core, and the animated version raised their evilness up a notch.
259	* {{Meido}}: Both of them.
260	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: In the non-canon alternative ending of the third ''Vanquished Queens'' [=OVAs=], it's heavily implied they raped [[spoiler:Leina together with Werbellia]].
261	* RememberTheNewGirl: One of the most egregious examples from the series, and also overlaps with RetCon: [[spoiler:In the original final battle depicted in the Illustrated Stories, Werbellia fights against Aldra and Annelotte without any help from anyone, but her recently published gamebook retcon some details from that battle. So Werbellia fights against her daughters alongside Airi, Mime and Meena, despite the latter two ''never being mentioned'' anywhere]].
262	* SatelliteCharacter: Their job is basically helping the Swamp Witch in her plans, albeit they both have a {{Backstory}} in their master's gamebook, not that it really matters in their (lack of) characterization anyway.

267	!! The Naked Queen
268	The ruler of Mel Fair Land, and the one who started the Queen's Blade tournament.
269	----
270	* CoolSword: The current weilder of the Queen's Blade.
271	* TheGhost: So far there are no images of her.
272	* TheHighQueen: The ruler of Mel Fair Land.

275	!!Kyuel
276	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyuel_profile.jpg]]
277	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiKakuma
278	->'''Artist:''' Satoshi Urushihara
279	->'''Title:''' Angel of Purity
280	An angel that travels around Mel Fair Land, looking for Beautiful Fighters willing to join the Queen's Blade tournament.
281	----
282	* {{Expy}}: Rather obviously meant to be [[Literature/AliceInWonderLand Alicia's own White Rabbit]].
283	* LittleBitBeastly: She has rabbit ears (despite also having normal human ears on the sides of her head).
284	* NumericalThemeNaming: "Kyuu" means "nine" in Japanese, keeping up the pattern established by Nanael (seven) and Hachiel (eight).
285	* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Different from the ''other angels'', in her case. She has animal ears unlike the other angels of the franchise, and no explanation is given for that.
286	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Her role as a messenger who looks for candidates for the tournament is similar to the role of the angels from the first series, like Nanael and Hachiel.

288
289	!! Zara's Grandmother
290	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imagem3.png]]
291	->'''Voiced by:''' Miyuki Ichijo
292	An inhabitant of Mel Fair Land, and the grandmother of Zara. She was stated to be a skilled warrior who protected her granddaughter, but was ultimately devoured by TheBigBadWolf.
293	----
294	* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Absurdly Youthful Grandmother: GRANDMOTHER!!?? The woman can pass off as Zara's [[MumLooksLikeASister older sister]].
295	* CoolOldLady: She was stated to be a skilled warrior by Zara.
296	* DeathByOriginStory: She is apparently killed off in the first episode of the Queen's Blade Grimoire OVA after being EatenAlive by TheBigBadWolf. Her death plays a large part in turning the naive and timid Zara into the "Demon-hunting Little Red Riding Hood".
297	* EatenAlive: By none other than TheBigBadWolf.
298	* {{Expy}}: Of Literature/LittleRedRidingHood's grandmother, but portrayed as a HotterAndSexier warrior.
299	* GenerationXerox: She looks exactly like her granddaughter but older. She even wears the same outfit as Zara.
300	* HotterAndSexier: You will not find a hotter version of Little Red Riding Hood's grandma.
301	* NeverFoundTheBody: Her body was likely digested after being EatenAlive.
302	* NoNameGiven: We never did found out what her name was.
303	* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks more like Zara's mother, or even older sister, but certainly not her grandmother.
304	* SatelliteCharacter: Just count how many times we mention "Zara" in her entry.
305	* SpiritAdvisor: Seems to have become this for Zara.
306	* WeHardlyKnewYe‎: She was seemly killed off in the first episode she appeared in.

308
309	!! Seabed King
310	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seabed_king.png]]
311	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiYasumoto
312	The ruler of the Seabed Kingdom and Tiina's father.
313	----
314	* CoolCrown: Has a very lavish crown.
315	* {{Expy}}: In terms of physical appearance, he is clearly based on [[Franchise/TheLittleMermaid King Triton]].
316	* FreudianExcuse: The reason he refuses to let Tiina go to the surface and meet people with legs is because his wife was killed by them.
317	* LargeAndInCharge: He is much bigger than a normal human and is the king of the Seabed Kingdom.
318	* MakingASplash: Can control water, and his powers seem to be much stronger than his daughter's.
319	* NoNameGiven: His name is never revealed.
320	%%* PointedEars: Just like his daughter.
321	* ProngsOfPoseidon: He's a ruler of a marine kingdom who wields a very big trident.
322	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Subverted. He is perfectly willing to fight in the Queen's Blade himself if someone from his kingdom must participate, but the tournament is for women only.
323	* SatelliteCharacter: He only exists as an extension of Tiina's character.
324	* TookALevelInKindness: At the end of the second Grimoire OVA, he finally recognizes that Tiina has grown up into a strong fighter and can handle herself, so he allows her to go to the land to fight in the tournament and chase her dreams.

328	[[folder:Introduced in Unlimited]]
329	!! Michel Rivaranciel
330	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imagem1_658.png]]
331	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaSuzaki
332	A new character introduced in ''Unlimited''. Michel is a young boy with amnesia who owns a mysterious flute known as "Cathedral".
333	----
334	* AmnesiacHero: The only things he remembers are his own name, what Cathedral does, and his mission to take it to the legendary land of Maramaks.
335	* CanonForeigner: An original character of ''Unlimited''.
336	* DistractedByTheSexy: All the time. Given [[MsFanservice what kind of women]] he hangs out with, one can hardly blame the kid.
337	* {{Expy}}: He is obviously based on Fio (''Unlimited'' sharing the same author with the ''Sword of the Unicorn'' novels). Both are {{Amnesiac Hero}}es who carry a mysterious item and develop a close relationship with one of the Vance sisters. He is even introduced the same way Fio was, running away from Airi and her ghosts.
338	* GroinAttack: In the first ''Unlimited'' OVA, Nowa throws Cathedral at a basket, but it ends up hitting the shelves and then the ground. Given that Michel feels what happens to Cathedral like it was part of his body... ouch.
339	* NiceGuy: Doesn't hold a grudge against Airi for trying to capture him, and goes out of his way to help Tomoe with Cathedral even though he gets nothing from it.
340	* {{Synchronization}}: Of the most awkward type possible. Cathedral is synchronized with ''his crotch''. So whenever someone touches the flute, he feels like they are touching his intimate parts.
