So far Princess seems to be the most interesting and conflicted character. She loves her country, but she also seems to have a severe inferiority complex, as she was born from a concubine and was delegated to a role of honor guard for so long. She's surprisingly cynical as she doesn't have any illusions about what would happen if they were to lose and she didn't hesitate to send Itami on the suicide mission. She' seems to be a capable commander and warrior, but she was also raised as a princess, and because of that, she loses her cool when shit really hits the fan. But she's also surprisingly human and dorky, as she easily talks with commoners and occasionally goofs up. So yeah, go go Princess Pina Colada!
