   Keys: Demihuman, Decoy, Proxy, anthropomorphic

   The Demihumans, also known as Proxies or Decoys, are a human-like race created through dubiously unethical experimentation centered around the future site of the Onkamiyamukai. They are essentially anthropomorphic but share certain traits with animals, particularly their ears and tails. They were created through science by the humans of their day, based on studies of the Iceman, and kept subjugated as experimental subjects and slaves until Uitsualnemetia cursed the Onvitaikayan. According to the Mikado and Mizushima, their conception was prompted by the decimation and weakening of the human race by environmental degradation and long subsistence underground. In the aftermath of Uitsualnemetia's disaster and the ensuing firing of Amaterasu, the surface was left devastated, but the escaped demihumans survived to create their own nations and religions. The priests of the Onkamiyamukai, the most popular tradition in Tuskur, believe that Onvitaikayan was a cruel deity justly deposed by "the savior," Uitsualnemetia. The other tradition, which is practiced only by the Shakukopolu of Kunnekamun, reveres Onvitaikayan as their Great Father who protects his chosen people, and consequently they see Uitsualnemetia as a usurper and "god of misfortune." The myriad sub-races or tribes of demihumans differ in both their animal-inspired features and their capabilities, which range from the extreme physical strength of the Giriyagina to the mystical powers of the Onkamiyamukai, and among which are included many rare and extraordinary powers. Some tribes, such as the righteous Evenkuruga, are defined as much by their history and traditions as their physical capabilities.

   Keys: Anju, princess, Mikado

   Overview: Anju is the young princess of Yamato, the successor to the previous emperor, the Mikado. She was created from the genetic template and in the image of his real human daughter, named Chii. The Imperial Princess of Yamato, and, following her father’s passing, the true Mikado.

   Appearance: She is a young Demihuman girl with a long black hair braided into two twin tails, a long pair at the back side and a short pair at the front, resting on her shoulders. She also posses an ahoge, which she shares with her uncle. Her eyes are yellow, and her ears and tail bear resemblance to a snow leopard. She usually wears a white dress with red and black pattern, adorned with a yellow and pink belt, and a white coat with red pattern. In Mask of Truth, Anju removes her coat as she prepares for combat. Her battle attire consists of a white dress covering her chest, and her coat is strung around her waist. Despite her appearance, her monstrous strength far surpasses most of the normal characters of the series, rivaled only by Kuon and a select few others.

   Personality: While performing her duties as the princess of Yamato, she appears serious and wise. However, among those she is close to, the princess is cheerful, kind, but very childish. She is very curious about visiting the capital outside the Royal palace, as she feels as though she is a bird in a cage. However, she is careless and unaware about the trouble her antics brings to others, thinking she is above the commoners. For example: eating Kuon's desserts without asking first, or causing a messes in the Hakurokaku inn. This in turn causes her guardian, Munechika, to find and discipline her for her impudence. She has a very obvious affinity and admiration for Oshtor, since he was the one who showed her much of the outside world. Despite being taunted and called unworthy to rule Yamato by the then Princess of Tuskur, Kuon, she obtained an unbreakable will and conviction to stand up and fight. From that point, Anju was willing to be on the front line of battle to aid her people without much worry, while alongside Oshtor/Haku and the others. Her rage occasionally gets the better of her, such as the events at the battle of Rumoy Pass, having witnessed the many deceased soldiers littering the floor. After the war comes to a close, she decides to wander the country to aid people in need alongside Munechika, Mikazuchi, and Kiwru. While she's out and about her land, Shinonon acts as her decoy, with Jachwaldt and Ougi by her side the ensure that suspicion is not riled among the princess' retainers.

   Anju's Traits:

   • Anger Born of Worry: She's positively livid any time Haku offers to use his akuruka after she learns it's rapidly killing him.
   • Antiquated Linguistics: She uses archaic grammar and pronouns even in her normal speech, which is ramped up somewhat when speaking officially as the empress. However, she really doesn't have the dignity or composure to match her speech.
   • Artificial Human: She was genetically engineered by the Mikado, using his former human daughter Chii as a genetic template. She’s been too heavily modified to be called a clone though (Chii didn’t have a tail, Super-Strength, animal ears, etc.)
   • Battle Strip: Removes her outer robes and ties them around her waist for combat, leaving only an undershirt on. This has the side-effect of making her less recognizable as the princess of Yamato.
   • BFS: She’s anonymously gifted Karulau’s sword around the same time she decides that she’s personally going to fight. She’s strong enough to wield it despite the sword being bigger than she is.
   • Character Development: When she formally declares her intent to retake her throne, Oshtor insists that she bear witness to the horrors of war directly, so she can see what the consequences of her decision will be on the people who follow her. It proves a very sobering experience for Anju, and she thereafter shows a genuine desire to understand the common people and do right by them as their ruler. The other characters notice her efforts, and their changing attitudes toward her in turn are marked by them beginning to refer to her as “my liege” (seijo) instead of “princess” (hime-denka).
   • Clones Are People, Too: Her genetic base was Chii, the Mikado’s daughter from before the fall of humanity. He admits that he created her at least in part out of a desire for his daughter back, but he ultimately saw Anju as her own person and not just a replacement for Chii.
   • Daddy's Girl: She and Mito are heavily implied to have had a close, loving relationship. Notably, she was overjoyed when she finds him still alive, if barely, and devastated when Mito chooses to remain behind to activate the Amaterasu, spelling his death if it meant that Anju and the party live for another day. It takes her a while to be consoled as she spends the next few scenes mourning him.
   • Designer Babies: The Mikado genetically engineered her to be near-perfect physically. She has incredible strength, vitality, and metabolism. The poison she was dosed with would normally be lethal, though she did require extensive to prevent brain damage and needs additional treatment to begin speaking normally again.
   • Genetic Memory: She sometimes sees Chii's life with Honoka, her father, and her uncle Haku. She thought they were just dreams until Haku mentioned his promise to Chii.
   • Glacier Waif: Who would really think that the bratty princess from the previous game would be able to lift a BFS larger than she is and made specifically for a super strong person, even less wield it as an actual weapon?
   • King Incognito: At one point she decides she wants to go incognito among the citizens, to learn the hardships of how ordinary people live. Haku has her spend some time at Torikori’s house, pretending she’s a new palace maid who needs to learn domestic skills. It’s implied Torikori figures out Anju’s identity quickly, but plays along and treats her like an ordinary girl. Furthermore, running around in what is essentially her underwear with no veil on makes it much less obvious to others that she is Anju, hence why she is able to go out and fight in the open to begin with.
   • Mighty Glacier: A variant where she is practically all attack. She has a lot of HP and hits like a maglev train but she is relatively slow and, as a drawback for her massive attack power, she has little defense, can sacrifice defense for zeal and her attack chains other than the basic one sacrifices HP for damage. This comes back to it's head as her Final Strike has Life Drain capabilities, healing by taking 100% of the damage dealt to her victim, which will usually be more than she'll really need due to the whole "hitting like a maglev train" thing.
   • Precocious Crush: She’s still crushing hard on Oshtor, and some of her dialogue indicates that she might have had a thing for Haku as well. At the end, it’s revealed that she has some partial memories of the girl she was cloned from, Chii, and part of her infatuation might have been Chii’s affection for Haku.
   • Refuge in Audacity: Part of the reason her King Incognito shtick works is because practically no one expects the Divine Scion to be running around on the front lines of a battlefield wielding a giant sword in nothing but her skivvies.
   • Royal Brat: Toned down as she becomes more mature, but she does have her moments. Usually when running away from bureaucratic duties or demanding that Oshtor pamper her.
   • Royal "We": When she goes full mikado mode.
   • Royals Who Actually Do Something: As much as she tries to weasel out of it, she is involved in a lot of administrative paperwork. She also decides that she will personally fight on the front lines in order to demonstrate her resolve. In the epilogue, while she leaves Shinonon to do most of the boring rubber-stamp work, that’s only so she can personally see to areas of unrest around the Empire.
   • Selective Obliviousness: Woshis points out it'd be hard for Anju to spend so much time with "Oshtor" without noticing some inconsistencies unless she specifically blocked them out. She spends a while insisting Haku is Oshtor even after he's unmasked.
   • Super-Strength: Her sheer strength is incredible, allowing her to wield Karulau’s sword with ease. This same sword made six strong warriors combined struggle to lift it. However, her combat animations show that she has struggles with balance because it weighs so much more than her. It's also indicated on occasion that she has trouble toning her strength to more human levels to avoid breaking things.
   • Unskilled, but Strong: She’s among the heaviest hitters in the group, dealing huge damage with every blow. She also has very little combat training, and basically just uses her BFS like a club. Her stronger attacks actually damage her, explained as her hurting herself through inexperience.
   • Verbal Tic: Tends to end sentences with “-ja”. This goes untranslated in the English version.
   • What the Hell, Hero?: She angrily calls out Kuon becoming Dark Uitsalnemetia, pointing out that makes them no better than the very threat Haku just gave his life to stop.
