Cattleya wears the blacksmith outfit from Vagrant Warrior, but her sword is now wider and curved. Personality

Cattleya is kind, gentle, and motherly, possibly due to having a son. In the past, she was fiercer and more serious, a side that emerges when she fights. She appears slightly depressed while searching for her missing husband, Owen. Abilities

Cattleya is a skilled swordswoman with extensive adventuring experience. She wields spears and her main weapon "Giant Killer", a heavy blade from her adventures, with great ease and mastery. She fights with her son Rana in her arms, leaving her at a disadvantage, but states they will die as one. Her tremendous strength and skill allow her to knock opponents down with one blow using her giant sword.

She also masters smithing, forging, and repairing weapons, earning her reputation as a "Master Weaponsmith" and well-known adventurer. Story Prior to QB

(From the Queen's Blade site)

Famous and resourceful ex-adventurers Owen and Cattleya married after overcoming many hardships together and settled down to manage the "Cattleya Weapons Shop". They befriended the "Great Alchemist" Cyan and sold high-quality weapons made from low-cost iron. Their spoiled child Rana grew fast. For Cattleya, a devoted wife and mother who worried about her family, this happy time did not last long. One day Owen suddenly vanished.

Cattleya believes participating in Queen's Blade will provide clues to her missing husband's whereabouts. Since the fights are broadcast across the Continent, she decides to participate, carrying her son Rana along. She wields "Giant Killer", an enormous sword with peerless reach and destructive power forged by her husband. She is also a formidable master of the javelin, one of her shop's best items. However, battle may be tough since Rana refuses to be apart from her for a second. Prologue

(From her backcover)

I heard the sound of a bell informing me of a customer’s visit, so I went to the counter.

“May I help you? Javelins are at a reduced price today…”

However, the one standing there wasn’t a customer.

Since a fight was going to start, I picked up the “Giant Killer”, a large sword forged by my husband.

At that moment, my son Rana came into the store. I told Rana:

“Rana, since mom has to have an important talk with this person, be a good boy and get inside.”

But Rana said, staring back with a strong will in his eyes he had never shown before:

“I don’t want to. I don’t want mom to disappear like dad too. I definitely won’t be separated from you, mom.”

I couldn’t say anything back at him. Rana is ready to witness my fight. He’s summoned up all of his courage.

Darling. I believe in you. I’ll be waiting for you forever.

That’s why, please watch how we both fight, this child and I.

Sure enough, can Cattleya fight it out while protecting her son?

They won’t know that unless they fight.
