2The games ''Little Princess'' and ''Little Vampire'' are text adventures made by Creator/AliceSoft back in 1987 and 1988, back when they were called Champion Soft. These two games would become the foundation for the ''Rance'' series and are very important for its backstory.

4One day, while Kentarou and Miki were on a date in Japan, a mysterious vampire-looking man kidnaps Miki and escapes through a wormhole. Kentarou, convinced that Count {{Dracula}} stole his girlfriend, grabs his wooden kendo sword and chases after him.

10!!Tropes used in ''Little Princess'':
11%%* {{Backstory}}: '''''Immense'''''. Here is are links to images with translated information on [[http://www.mediafire.com/?c4i8kz1fsuuq3v1 the timeline of the world]] and of the [[http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=964l4hqg9yarw7j Legendary Five]] (of which Nikkou was a member.)
12* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The two games end with Miki and Kentarou accepting that they cannot return to their homeworld and adventuring to find a way to avoid Miki's fate as Demon King.]]
13* CloudCuckoolander: Kentarou, due to the game's text-input interface. Almost every puzzle has a joke option like making him try to eat rocks instead of searching them.
14* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:Demon King Gi lets Kentarou kill him since he already accomplished his goal of turning Miki into the Demon King.]]
15* MacGuffin: Hirami Lemons which are used to suppress the transformation into a Demon King.
16* MistakenIdentity: Kentarou mistakes [[spoiler:Demon King Gi]] for Count {{Dracula}}.
17* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They are created by the Gods as part of a system to cause chaos and entertain.
18* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The one who is Demon King has the title of "Vampire of the Bloodpool"
19* PeacefulInDeath: [[spoiler: Demon King Gi because he has already made Miki into the Demon King.]]
20%%* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: Holy Sword Nikkou
21%%* TrappedInAnotherWorld
22* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Demon King Gi needed to find an heir that would be able to control the bloodlust of a Demon King as well as he did before his time as Demon King was up. He made many children including Hornet, but none of them satisfied him. He had to resort to going to a different dimension to find the best candidate which happened to be Miki.]]
23* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Becoming a Demon King means you attain immense amounts of bloodlust as well. [[spoiler:When Miki ran out of Hirami Lemons to suppress her bloodlust in her native dimension, she nearly destroyed all of Japan. Kentarou and Miki were forced to go back and the portal they used was destroyed.]]
