GhostPrincess

Personal Info

A long-term denizen of the Abyss, her methods tread the line between righteous and wicked, and her moods are as changeable as the tides. She belongs to the mysterious organization, Jokers.
Normally elusive, she has an uncanny habit of appearing uninvited wherever there is conflict, strife, or scenes of intriguing deceit—any "lively spectacle" will do.
Furthermore, the GhostPrincess takes great delight in mischief, often playing pranks on Explorers across the land.
Upon completing one of her "masterpieces," she will vanish without a trace, leaving behind only a black Joker card at the scene.
Some who have suffered her tricks have banded together to capture or retaliate against her, only to be fooled once more and taught a harsh lesson.

Yet, despite her endless stream of pranks, no one has ever come to serious harm because of the Ghost Princess's mischief.
Consequently, while people still regard her with a measure of trepidation, they no longer go out of their way to oppose her.
In fact, when a particularly "lively spectacle" arises, some of the bolder souls might even actively call for the Ghost Princess to come and witness the event.

Chronicles

GhostPrincess... Although this humble one and she both hail from the Jokers, we are not as familiar as you might imagine.
That woman laughs with utter abandon at the climax of every play—be it tragedy, comedy, or farce—often spoiling my enjoyment. Hence, I seldom attends performances with her.
Her prowess is indeed considerable, but as a spectator, her taste in drama is merely... passable.
— GhostQueen from Jokers

That time, I was trapped by one of GhostPrincess's pranks for what felt like an eternity, exhausting nearly every means at my disposal before I finally escaped.
However, when I got out, I found the surrounding area almost completely devastated, as if some powerful monster had just battled there...
Hmm, it does seem like I dodged a calamity because of her mischief, but that was purely a coincidence, right?
While there's no record of GhostPrincess causing actual harm, she certainly doesn't seem like the type who'd go out of her way to save anyone either.
— A Pranked Explorer

There seemed to have been such a child. She should have had a younger brother too. Both siblings used to come play here often, very well-behaved and sensible.
But then something seemed to have happened, and neither child ever came again...
Their names... was it Jenny? No... Jelly? I think it was Jelly, Jelly... Ah, I remember now. It wasn't Jenny or Jelly...
— An Old Woman

Record

GhostPrincess has been with the expedition for some time now. Though she remains as elusive and solitary as ever, she always appears precisely when the team needs her. She rarely plays pranks on other members anymore, reserving her mischief mostly for toying with fiends in battle, turning the tide by keeping enemies off-balance.

When there are no expeditions, GhostPrincess roams far and wide in pursuit of "lively" events. She is exceedingly particular; ordinary squabbles and conflicts hold no interest for her. In her quest to witness a satisfying "drama," she often travels great distances. For GhostPrincess, the danger or remoteness of a location seems inconsequential. As long as the event is grand and intriguing enough, she will not hesitate to attend. Some members have spotted traces of GhostPrincess in places far removed from the expedition's resting points. Perhaps, as many say, GhostPrincess herself is the proof of an event's significance. Only those gatherings graced by her presence are deemed worthy of mention in after-dinner tales.

Anecdote

"Let me see... Three bands of bandits and one expedition team. Hehehe, how amusing!"
"Look at that surrounded team. The movements and expressions of a few members are far too deliberate. They must be the ones in league with the bandits."
"They all want to monopolize the expedition's spoils. So they plan to use the bandits to create chaos and slip away with the goods in the confusion."
"A decent plan. Pity they know their companions so little. They aren't the only ones with such ideas. The situation is slipping from their control."
"Let's see how our actors will perform now—Hmm? And there are two bystanders sneaking a peek from the sidelines."
"That won't do. The audience must not wander onto the stage uninvited..."

"To think the ultimate victors would be that horde of fiends that surged in at the last moment. Hehe, haha! What an unexpectedly delightful outcome."
"The play has reached its finale, and the audience must now depart. Let us offer our final applause to the performers who gave their all. Hehe... hahaha!"
GhostPrincess twirled her staff, and a shower of cards imprinted with black Jokers flutters down over the battlefield...

"The two trapped by the prank? Haha, by the time they've fully experienced the mischief GhostPrincess prepared, they'll be fleeing at top speed."
