However, a broken promise led Irma to bear a grudge against her former teacher. In the anime, it is revealed that Irma was taken in as Echidna's disciple after she lost her brother in a dispute, and seeks revenge on the Queen by killing her. In the original game's story, she is ordered by Aldra to kill Leina, but changes her mind when she faces her, and tries to kill the Queen instead during the tournament however, she is soundly defeated and sentenced to death, only to be rescued by Echidna. She has a cold and emotionless personality, and is a highly skilled fighter who uses stealth to her advantage. Irma ( 牙の暗殺者 イルマ, Kiba no Ansatsusha Iruma, Assassin of the Fang Irma) Voiced by: Yui Kano (Japanese) Emlyn Morinelli (English) Irma is a young woman who is the leader of the Assassins of the Fang, the Queen's secret police charged with taking out certain contenders who might be a threat to the Continent. Her "organizational capacity" will fulfill an important role to Annelotte. Although she has been weakened after a long stay in prison, her fighting strength still remains. However, she was captured by the Queen's Army after the Swamp Witch cast an "indomitable curse" that made her unable to eat or sleep during a "Beautiful Fighter Hunt". Following Queen Claudette's reign of terror on the Continent, she founded the Rebel Army, funded by the distribution of dark magic stones. This resulted in her muscle strength being increased to the point where she discards her mace for hand-to-hand combat. In Queen's Blade Rebellion following her loss to Leina in the semifinals, Risty returns to the forest to resume her training. She is armed with a morning star and has a wooden shield mounted on her left arm. She aids Leina early in her journey in the anime adaptation by stealing the Vance Family arms and armor that once belonged to Leina's mother and giving it to her. She hopes to win the Queen's Blade tournament to help aid the orphans. She has a Robin Hood personality, and is quite greedy at times when it comes to money the reason why she steals is that she supports a shelter for children orphaned by war, as she was once orphaned herself when she lost her family to a dispute between nobles.

She aids the Rebel Army on their quest to overthrow the Queen. Not only does she need to sleep that long, she also experiences sudden cases of narcolepsy, often requiring her to retreat to her hideout whenever she feels drowsiness. However during her travels, she contracted a mysterious disease that requires her to sleep 16 hours a day. In Queen's Blade Rebellion, after winning the tournament, she gives up her title as Queen to her sister Claudette to travel the world as Maria ( マリア), the Phantom Warrior. Leina dons silver armor with brown belts across, and is armed with a longsword called "Evindil" and a buckler as weapons. However, she has no intent of becoming countess, and runs away to venture the outside world and become a warrior like her late mother Maria, eventually becoming a contender of the Queen's Blade tournament.
