Nashetania Loei Piena Augustra

Nashetania Loei Piena Augustra (ナッシェタニア・ルーイ・ピエナ・アウグストラ) is the first princess of Piena and the Saint of Blades.It is later learned that she was actually the seventh brave who activated the barrier around the temple.

Appearance
She has gorgeous looks with beautiful and long flaxen hair, big red eyes, plump lips and a charming face. She gives an impression of nobility and dignity by just standing still. In battle, she wears white armor with a headgear featuring two fake rabbit ears, and wields a rapier with a jewel mounted in the grip. When Nashetania first visited Adlet in the prison she wore a maid's outfit. In the Wailing Demon Territory she wears black rabbit themed armor. As of volume 3, she is missing her left arm.

Pesonality
Nashetania has very different personalities depending on who she's with. This goes from an insouciant and easygoing young girl to a proper princess full of dignity, and can also be akin to the personality of a cruel mastermind or even a mischievous and playful woman at times. Because of this, it's difficult for the others to understand what her real feelings are, and she appears to be very manipulative by adapting herself to others in order to easily deceive them and to incite them in doing what she wants.

Childhood
She was raised beside Dozzu, a shape-shifting kyouma, who taught her that humans and kyouma could live side-by-side. Many years ago, Dozzu had made a deal with the two other kyouma leaders; that whichever of the three of them killed three of the six braves, would be able to command the other two from then on. Nashetania then conspired with Dozzu to inherit the Brave Crest that was given to him by the Saint of Time and infiltrate the Braves in order to complete this task for him.

Piena Civil War Arc
A few years before the Majin awakened. The royal of Piena went mad accusing those among the kingdom to be followers of the demon god, who were after him. He even accused Nashetania of being one of them.

Gathering of the Braves Arc
A mysterious man named Adlet Mayer, proclaiming himself to be the strongest in the world, interrupted Piena's semifinals of the Holy Tournament between two warriors. After incapacitating both warriors and the royal guards, he is thrown into jail. Impressed by his fight, Nashetania sneaked inside, disguised as a maid, to meet Adlet.

She asked him about his fighting style, philosophy, and his goal: to become one of the Braves of the Six Flowers. He says that he believes he will become a Brave, one of the six chosen warriors to fight the Majin, and he wishes to fight alongside Princess Nashetania (not knowing the true identity of the maid), if she were to be chosen as a Brave. After being moved to his prison cell, he was chosen as a Brave during one night. Soon after, Nashetania arrived, revealed to be the Princess much to Adlet's surprise, and rescued him from his cell.

She showed him her own Crest - just below her collarbone on her chest. Nashetania freed him at the expense of her own soldiers, trapping them in the same pit they had thrown Adlet in. With that, both of them fled Piena on horseback and towards the Wailing Demon Territory to meet the other Braves and defeat the Majin.

Abilities
Nashetania became the Saint of Blades three years before the beginning of the series and was said to be one of the most promising battle-oriented Saints and as such, she has received training regularly from Mora after inheriting her power of "Blades" three years ago. Her power as the "Saint of Blades" allows her to create multiple blades whenever she wants, which she can either use as projectiles or or raise them from the ground to impale her opponents. She can also use the blades defensively by forming a shield in front of or around herself to protect her from incoming projectiles.

Nashetania also gained several abilities from being fused with Kyouma. She has a concealing ability and rapid self-healing. She has also produced a Sacred Instrument, a Blade Gem, an ability that she kept hidden from the other Saints.

Dozzu
She was raised beside Dozzu, a shape-shifting kyouma, who taught her that humans and kyouma could live side-by-side. Many years ago, Dozzu had made a deal with the two other kyouma leaders; that whichever of the three of them killed three of the six braves, would be able to command the other two from then on. Nashetania snuck into the barrier as a brave in order to complete this task for him. She and Dozzu are companions who want to create a peaceful world between Kyouma and humans. They claim that one would never betray the other, as shown when Nashetania is taken hostage by Tgurneu and Dozzu follows his orders to protect her.

Goldof
Nashetania knows of Goldof's feelings for her, but doesn't seem to especially care about them. However, she completely trusts Goldof when it comes to protecting and saving her. She has an extremely high opinion of Goldof's fighting abilities, and believes that he can rescue her no matter how many of enemies stand in his way. That being said, once she determined where his true loyalties lied (with the Braves), she abandoned him and cast him away.

Adlet
Adlet was one of the first of the heroes she meets, due to the scene Adlet caused when he arrived unannounced to the Holy Tournament of Piena and seeing his performance against the other competitors she develop an interest in him. Because she was impressed by his fighting style and his courage she later visits him in his cell to ask him about his fighting style, philosophy, and his goal: to become one of the Braves of the Six Flowers. Some time after Adlet was moved to a different cell she went and personally freed him from his cell at the expense of the guards that were following her due to believing that Adlet would indeed become one of the Braves.After she frees Adlet the two are quick to become good friends as she thinks of Adlet as a friendly, trustworthy companion though at times Adlet was irritated by her immaturity but would usually get over it. that is until she is found out to be the fake brave, at which time she reveals that she saw Adlet as an easy person to manipulate and is genuinely surprised that he was the one to uncover her plot.
