Queen's Blade Backstories: Zara and Alicia

Before we begin, in case you missed it, our buddy Charles made this proto-guide for the first QB books, if you like the game, be sure to let us know what you think!

And seeing as Alicia was scanned just in time, shall we start unraveling Grimoire's mysteries?

Enjoy!

Zara








A crow cawed in the beautiful forest. The Demon Hunter Zara found a cabin. Zara knocked on the cabin’s door to ask if she could rest for a while.
An old man was lying on the cabin’s bed.
“Travelling lady, I was so troubled, living alone.”
“…You’ve had a hard time.”
“I’ll be following grandma in a bit. Can I have some water?”
“Very well… Hum, old man, what big eyes you have.”
“The better to discern this ugly world with.”
“I see… what a big mouth you have, too.”
“The better to eat a delicious woman like you with!”

The monster revealed its true nature. It chewed and tore off Zara’s throat with its fangs, and cut through her guts with its claws. It exhaustively trampled down Zara’s slender body with its brutal physique. The perfect ambush, a thorough violence. Inside the cabin, it had become a bloody, terrible sight.
“Serves you right, naïve Demon Hunter.”

And, when the monster left the cabin and went back to its den:
“I see, is this the den of you bastards?”
Behind the monster, who turned around startled, stood a half-naked Zara.
“You ruined my favorite cloak, let me return the favor.”

A few hours later.
Before Zara, who had exhaustively hunted the monsters from the den, a single beautiful fighter appeared.
“Good grief… I’m starving now. I’ll finish the battle with you bastard in an instant.”

Sure enough, with her astounding regenerative abilities, can Zara defeat this strong beautiful fighter?

They won’t know that unless they fight.

Alicia




The magic user Alicia was grumpy. She didn’t understand it well, but she had fallen down a hole. And it was a mysterious hole that went beyond dimensions. How ridiculous.

In fact, she was actually in that goddamned world called Mel Fair Land. In there, it was totally different than the brutal world where Alicia lived, it was certainly “Wonderland”. A peaceful world, whose summer and its nice weather would last forever. Lagging behind in civilization, and showing no signs of progress. Nonetheless, the guys all over the place could easily use the “magic” Alicia had learned with great efforts through her whole life.

“Really, what a land… I don’t like it.”

Moreover, when it came to the people from that land, it felt like she only encountered lazy people. They were in high spirits everyday as if in a festival, and Alicia couldn’t stand how they began singing songs if they had free time. There you go, someone had begun to sing again.

“Hello, birds and deers. But, you aren’t my Prince. Some day my Prince will come, coming to meet, me, just me~

It was a terrible song. Geez, she couldn’t stand it. When Alicia created a wave of darkness in the palm of her hand, she hit a tree near the owner of the song. As the trees shook, the birds and deers also scattered. Apparently, she had succeeded in provoking the owner of the song. The beautiful fighter that was her opponent started activating her magic as well.

“Wonderland’s fighting tournament, Queen’s Blade…? Isn’t this interesting. C’mon, bring it on!”

Sure enough, can Alicia win the fight in Wonderland, and go back to her original world?

They won’t know that unless they fight.
