!!!Tropes related to the Zahard Princesses

* AmazonBrigade: Well, yeah. Even the ones who aren't Rankers have skills you do ''not'' want to underestimate.
* ActionGirl: Most are this played very straight indeed. Even the exception to the rule, Repellista, kicks mental ass even though she never budges out her Lighthouse.
* TheBeautifulElite: Every princess seen or mentioned is depicted or described by onlookers as incredibly beautuful. Given that they are all adopted daughters being used to distract the public, this could be as important of a requirement as being strong.
* GildedCage: The downside to being a Princess: you give up ''a lot'' of everyday, personal freedoms. Even beyond the whole "thou shall not date, mess about with the opposite sex, marry or bear offspring" raft of rules, there are other contractual shackles hinted at. Heck, you also have to deal with the more mundane hells of the media and fan attention with the resultant loss of privacy on top of the special bloodline commandments. Some can't hack it all and wind up cracking.
* HighTurnoverRate: The selection process is ''brutal'', but it doesn't stop there. Just earning the Zahard name gets you a target on your chest with inter-clan rivalries taking a toll on the pre-Regular and Regular Princesses. Even earning Ranker and finalising your claim to the name doesn't stop the attrition rate, even though it significantly decreases.
* InSeriesNickname: The Princesses of Zahard are among the strongest, most talented, and beautiful women in the tower. But King Zahard does not love them and forbids them from forming relationships with men or having children under penalty of death. As a result, they are known as the King's shoes in the display case.--to be admired from afar, but never worn.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: Po Bideau Gustang proposed the system for talented females to compete against each other and gather the 13 Months series for the privilege of being Zahard's spouse, with all the prestige and power such a position would logically grant. [[spoiler: However, the system is rigged to never have a conclusion due to the first Princess having cursed the 13 Months and forced the first generation to kill each other. As time passed, the competition got distorted and the relationships between the families deteriorated to the point that by the time of Garam Zahard being chosen as a candidate, everybody seems to have forgotten the original goal and are purely focused on killing each other. Even if it wasn't, Zahard is uninterested in loving anyone else save his first love, and was responsible for rigging the game in the first place.]]
* PraetorianGuard: Part of their role is to protect Zahard and keep a watch over the system he put in place.
* RebelliousPrincess: You'd be surprised how many princesses have other plans for the system. Yuri, Androssi, and Garam in particular like to act out against Zahard.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: A Princess who doesn't lift her weight won't remain one.

[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tog_yuri_jahad.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:210:some caption text]]
->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman

Rank: Top 500

The first Zahard Princess to be introduced. Breaking the rules and following her own agenda is pretty much the standard for her. Hailing from the Great Ha Family, she's on good terms with most people she knows and socializes pretty easy. She also drags her guide, Evan, all over the Tower.

After heading down to the 1st Floor, Yuri plants her foot in Baam's face, and then lends him her powerful Black March weapon because she felt Headon's 1st Floor test was unfair. They follow after Baam to the 2nd Floor, but are unable to catch up to him in time due to suddenly disappearing from the Tower all-together. While on the 2nd Floor however, Yuri manages to save Anak and Androssi from a Ranker assassin that came to kill the two girls.

Some time later after learning about Baam surviving passed the 2nd Floor, Yuri takes Evan along to discover what truly happened to him, and manages to finally reunite with Baam on the D-rank area's Hell Train. Here, Yuri learns that Baam was forced to become a Slayer Candidate for FUG, who took him away on the 2nd Floor under everyone's noses, but instead of taking her anger out on FUG, she decides to go along with Baam's wish to ride the Hell Train up to the forbidden 43rd Floor known as the Floor of Death in order to help Baam find answers as to who he really is.

Yuri provides Baam an assignment at the 39th Floor's Name Hunt Station to steal away the station leader, Kaiser's, name in order for Baam to prove to Yuri that he's ready to take on the 43rd Floor. [[spoiler:In the end, Yuri's Kaiser mission turned out to be a trick since she didn't actually believe Baam could defeat Kaiser, but since he did, she's now forced to take him to the 43rd Floor, which she clearly didn't want. However, she gets interrupted by the arrival of Karaka, who's apparently seeking revenge against Yuri for killing the Train Conductor, Pedro, when she came to the Hell Train looking for Baam. Following the fight against Karaka, Yuri continues to ride the Hell Train to enter the 43rd Floor of Death with Baam's expedition group]].
----

* ActionGirl: Comes with the turf. [[BadassFamily Ha's]] don't tend to be reticent or meek. And, she's a Princess on top of that.
* BerserkButton: Really doesn't like it when it looks like her opponent isn't taking her seriously. Especially doesn't like it if they use the Zahard name in vain while they're doing so.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Ren]] is so screwed.
* CovertPervert: Everybody sees her as the great Princess. Nobody knows she's totally into that cute, little naive boy who doesn't know what's happening around him.
* ComedicSociopathy: Jumping onto people's faces and throwing your friends down cliffs is not very nice, Lady Yuri.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She is a member of the Ha Family, who all possess incredibly powerful bodies.
* CoolBigSis: She's not supposed to be helping either Anak or Androssi out ''at all''. But, in a very ToughLove kind of way, she's got their backs. As far as she's concerned, they're family: however disgraced they may be, or whatever the factional politics is like today.
* DynamicEntry: In her first meeting with Baam.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: One strong enough to cleave a massive gash into the ground.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Nicknamed the "Tower's Effenberg," which refers to her aggressive, volatile, and outspoken personality.
** Her reputation got a bit better after retrieving the Green April, but it is more akin to begrudging recognition of her rather than real respect.
* IWillFindYou: Even after nearly a decade has gone by since she first met him, Yuri is still looking for Baam despite everyone, including the Zahard Family's chief Guide, telling her it was a lost cause. And, wouldn't you know it, [[spoiler: she not only can find the guy, but can also manufacture ways to bump into him, too.]]
* MysteriousPast: [[spoiler: [[http://inutero3334.blog.me/140135470259 With Lero Ro]]]].
* NoSell: Much like Baam, she has an exceptionally high amount of resistance to Shinsoo. This is not a surprising trait to find within the Ha Family, but Yuri multiplies it.
** She tanks everything Karaka throws at her, even his 'damage reversal' technique, all without taking a lick of damage. Oh yes, and Karaka happens to be a FUG Slayer so he's not just anyone.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Has been around for at quite a while by our standards.
* {{Nosebleed}}: Since Baam is a total hottie.
* RebelliousPrincess: Screw the rules, she has last minute whims! [[spoiler:And, a longer-term, likely rather strategic, straining against the rules her apparently reckless, random impulsiveness helps to hide. She actually ''became'' a princess for the purpose of becoming a rebellious one, and eventually goes full on traitor against Zahard.]]
* RebelLeader: [[spoiler:Though she still plays by the rules, superficially at least, she's also was present for the founding of the Wingtree organization and seems to have supported Anak's mother in her decision to marry.]] Not to mention she's rather more supportive of a certain FUG-linked Irregular than she should properly be.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Evan's blue.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Evan.
* TomboyPrincess: Doesn't particularly dress like one, but there's only one way to describe how she acts...
* TooCleverByHalf: When push comes to shove, she ''knows'' how to play the political game with appropriate cunning and ruthlessness. Ren, for example, learned this the hard way. Problem is, her can-do attitude can dump her in hot water by making her overshoot the target. As Evan helpfully keeps trying to remind her, despite knowing he's going to get ignored.

[[quoteright:297:[[labelnote:CLICK to see her Young Hidden Floor Data Appearance]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/data_khun_maschenny.jpg]][[/labelnote]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman, Jeonsulsa

Rank: Top 100

The owner of Yellow May, and the only Princess of the Koon family to have obtained one of the 13 Months. Her biological father is Eduan. She is from the sane branch family as Koon Ran, and taught him some of her techniques.

She is a powerful High Ranker (within the top 100), assisted in the capture of Eurasia Enne Zahard (the sealed rank 7), and devised a powerful technique that allows one to take the position of Spear Bearer without any physical spears. Perhaps fittingly, she is actually more suited to the Spear Bearer role, instead of Fisherman.

Maschenny made a bet with Yuri Ha in the Name Hunt Station arc, staking Yellow May for Green April to accomplish a currently unknown objective.

She also has data within the Hidden Floor, having cleared the Hell Train at a very young age. She is much more modest than her current self and worshipful of her father. She was defeated by the data of Zahard along with her siblings near the climax of the arc.
----

* TheAce: She's a High Ranker, is Koon Eduan's favourite child and was also one of the princesses that helped to take down [[AxCrazy Enne]] [[ActionGirl Zahard]].
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Of course, being a High Ranker as well as in the top 100 of all Rankers, she can back it up.
* BigShutUp: To Repellista's guards.
* BloodKnight: Wants to ignite a massive war in the Tower, and admits that she's probably a nut that can't live without fighting.
* HiddenDepths: Her data self professed to desiring to fight Zahard, however because she is a Princess she can never fight him. It was only in the Hidden Floor she could do this. Whether she still has this desire as a High Ranker on the outside is unknown.
* TheProudElite: One of the highest Ranker members of the Koon Family, and she's proud to show it.
* RebelliousPrincess: When King Zahard declares war, she personally heads an army, supposedly to kill one of [=FUG=]'s most important members, but lets him wipe out that army so that she can warn him about what Zahard is up to in private. Of course, she isn't really on his side either. She claims her main motive is as a BloodKnight that wants to coerce all the powers in the Tower into fighting a big war.
* ShockAndAwe: She is the creator of the Lightning Spear techniques.
* TrueBlueFemininity: She does not fit the whole "fair and gentle" personality oft seen in the trope, making her a subversion.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Like the rest of the Koon family, blue hair.

Koon Aguero's younger half-sister, [[spoiler: who due to his scheming, became a Zahard Princess at the cost of his family branch's position.]] He found that the result left a big hole, even though he did it with the best intentions. Koon regarded her as a pure being untainted by the intrigues in the noble families.

In the present, [[spoiler:she's revealed during the Name Hunt Station arc to have formed some sort of Princess alliance with Maschenny and the Lo Po Bia twins for some reason that has yet to be explored]].
----

* BrotherSisterIncest: Rumor has it that her and Koon have feelings for one another. (Though they are only half-brother and sister.)
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: To Koon at least.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The tips of her hair are blue.

!!'''Jaina Repellista Zahard'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princessrepellista.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]

A Princess who is an oddity among her fellows because she has no interest in climbing the Tower and has no rank.

Despite this, she is in possession of one of the three Opera Lighthouses, constantly over-seeing the flow of information of the Tower. Yuri asked her to find Baam, a task she agreed to perform if she received one of Zygaena's flowers. After informing Yuri of Baam's whereabouts, she also provided Yuri with one of the Hell Train's tickets.

She is eagerly awaiting the return of the Prince of Zahard, and is unwilling to leave her room until he returns.
----

* BigBrotherIsWatching: Not a malevolent example, but she uses her Lighthouse to spy on everything occurring in the the Tower.
* TheChessmaster: She uses her Opera this way. For instance, it's implied that she was the one behind Baam's encounter with Mazino, since she seems to have asked Yuri to get her the child of Zygaena, knowing Yuri would ask Mazino and that this would lead him to meet Baam.
* GamerChick: Has been playing games in each of her appearances, and references everything in terms of a game.

!!'''Adori Zahard'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adori_309_2.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Killer Whale]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman

Rank: 7

The strongest active princess and captain of Zahard's Royal Guard. Wielder of the Golden November, the only S-rank weapon among the 13 Months.

Despite being tied with Enne Zahard for strongest of Zahard's princesses as well as captain of Zahard's Royal Guard, she has no notable achievements or accomplishments to her name, nor does she like to participate in active duty as she does not like wandering around. She was appointed captain regardless because she was so powerful.

Even before becoming a Ranker, she was capable of defeating a Ranker and overwhelmed Garam Zahard in less than 100 years of becoming a Ranker. In the few fights she's been in with Rankers, she effortlessly overwhelmed them all. She is known to be a cold and quiet person, with little care for the affairs in the Tower.
----

* TheAce: As powerful as Enne Zahard but with none of the mental instability that lead to her downfall. Also considered she is the most beautiful princess but not one of the most beautiful woman in the Tower.
* AlternativeCalendar: Her age pretty much functions as this for observant readers. In a series where immortality is taken for granted by pretty much everyone, she is the character with the oldest confirmed age in the setting. While there are many characters who we can safely assume are older than her, such as Zahard or the 10 Great Warriors, none of their ages have been given. Her age and whether she was active in an event are the only tools readers have of grasping the true age of the older and more powerful characters.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: She is the captain of Zahard's Royal Guards.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: She has a multitude of male and female fans due to her golden hair and beautiful face.
* TheMagnificent: Adori was given the sobriquet "Killer Whale" since Killer Whales are the strongest Shinheuh in the Tower.
* MysteriousPast: What makes her stand out among her peers is that usually Princesses are selected from one of the Ten Families. Adori does not have this advantage, yet still is overwhelmingly powerful compared to her peers. Along with this, she is noted to have secrets in her private life and as a result nobody knows her true self.
* Really700YearsOld: If her profile is to be believed, she's over ''5000 years old''.

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ennetog.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:297:Great White Shark]]

->'''Tower Position:''' Fisherman

Rank: 7

An infamous Zahard Princess that is considered a genius due to her being the daughter Eurasia Blossom and Po Bidau Gustang, meaning that Enne is one born from two direct Great Family Lines. At first, Enne was admired by many as one who was showing potential as the Princess that could end the Zahard Princess competition. However, discovering the truth as to why said competition exists led to her going insane, and began slaughtering any member of the Zahard Family she came across.

In the current day, the insane Enne has been sealed away in a mysterious labyrinth alongside her 13 Month Series weapon, the Colorless December.
----

* AxCrazy: After learning the truth of the competition between the Princesses, she began to behave oddly and began to attack members of the Zahard family irregularly. Because of the nature of the competition, it wasn't considered unusual for Princesses to kill each other, but after she disappeared with two of the 13 Months, Zahard put his foot down and ordered her capture. However, it is questionable if Enne really went insane or if it was a cover story made by the Zahard family.
* BrokenAce: Enne is a High Ranker and is tied with Adori Zahard as the strongest Princess and non-Irregular in the Tower. She is also one of four Princesses in-universe that have possessed more than one 13 Month Series weapon at a time.[[note]]Garam, Anak and Yuri are the other three.[[/note]] However, she snapped after reading Arlene's diary and confronting Zahard about it.
* LamarckWasRight: Enne is the daughter of Eurasia Blossom and Po Bidau Gustang, two of the 10 Great Warriors and also two of the most powerful Wave Controllers in the Tower. She is ranked higher than both of them.
* TheMagnificent: Known as the Great White Shark. After Zahard put out an order for her (and Garam Zahard's) capture, she decided to go on the run instead of hiding (like Garam). She knocked down Zahard's men and killed many of the Rankers who chased her, including two other Princesses; overall it took a whole host of Rankers and several Zahard's Princesses (including Maschenny Zahard) to capture her. There's even a rumour that Zahard himself interfered.

!!'''Garam Zahard'''

[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/garamtog_0.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]

A Zahard Princess who went missing a millennia ago around the same time as the "Eurasia Enne Zahard" incident. After killing a fellow Princess and taking her 13-Month weapon, Garam went into hiding on the 43rd Floor of Death, and hasn't been seen since. Her reasons for doing so are because she's sick of being a part of the Tower after it had been reduced to such a poor state.

In the present, Garam continues to remain on the Floor of Death where she acts as MsExposition when she meets Baam. Along with Yuri, she is one of only other Zahard Princesses to have two 13-Month series weapons at the same time.
----

* TheBeastmaster: Tamed one of the 43rd Floor of Death's giant Winged Beasts.
* {{Infodump}}: In two ways. Firstly, she bombards Baam (and the reader) with walls of necessary text. Secondly, she literally dumps a vital data source right in his hands with minimum preamble. It's justified because she's not got much time to get Baam up to speed on ''everything''. And, there's a huge amount to get up to speed on.
* InUniverseNickname: Named the Winged Beast she tamed as "Yadu".
* TheMagnificent: Princess of the Deep Colored Sea. Her actual sobriquet is Mako Shark.
* MsExposition: She explains to Baam the truth behind the Zahard Princess competition, as well as the boy's origins.
* MetaphoricallyTrue: Unfortunately, she's well aware she's pulling this. Part of the problem is that ''there is just so much to tell'' in a relatively short time, some of it is highly emotionally charged (and therefore distinctly uncomfortable to straightforwardly relate) for both her and Baam... and, she has a teensy bit of an agenda.
* RebelliousPrincess: Garam ditched being a part of the Zahard Family after finding out the truth about why the Tower is currently in such a poor state, especially after the Enne Zahard incident.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Light-blue hair.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: There are distinct perks to being one and the Tower residents treat them like celebs, so all the media they consume pushes this.
