Pigu Geliciam

About
Pigu is a little girl born in the Helman Empire. Her father was a righteous journalist that tried to uncover Stessel as the corruptive minister he is, but they both ended up secretly captured by Stessel's men and Pigu was handed to Dr. Oama, a   crazy Helman scientist who  experimented on  Pigu and  wanted to turn her more "Squidman-like" and she gained the unique ability to split herself in several copies.

Pigu's family, her mother and her father, were experimented on as well. Her mother being the first one taken away. It is not mentioned actually in game, but it is hinted that the scientist half human half cockroach assistant is Pigu's father. She was later saved by the commander of the 1st Army Lelyukov, who she stayed with.

Pigu appears for the first time in Rance IX as a guest in Lelyukov's 1st army. She and Lelyukov are very fond of each other and have an almost father and daughter relationship. She later met Rance during the events of the Helman Revolution, who she joined in the Revolution to take down Stessel from the government.

Personality and Appearance
As a result of the experiments Dr. Oama performed on her, she's half Puryo, half human. After the experiments, her appearance changed quite a bit, having a more pale skintone and bloody red eyes. Her hair also went through some transformations and has something that resembles a flower on the top of her head. She's a very short and small girl but boasts quite a femenine figure.

Even though she has been through some horrible experiences, she doesn't seem to be bothered by it and talks about it almost non-chalantly. She has a very close relationship with Lelyukov, and he's almost like a father to her.



She is a very cheerful person, and behaves like a little child but she is older than she looks. She has a tremendously big appetite, possibly due to her ability to split. While she's innocent and joyful, she's also very weird and has very unusual habits. Awkwardly enough, she's incredibly fond of sex. When Rance had rather rough sex with her, she claimed that she enjoyed the experience and she even managed to drain Rance out of his stamina. Usually it will only be Rance tiring the girl out, but at some point she was basically the one raping Rance. She grew very fond of Rance and after the Revolution ended, she moved to the Rance Castle. She quickly befriended Athena 2.0 since they are pretty alike and they tend to play together in the Rance Castle.

Abilities
 Ever since the experiments Dr. Oama made on her, she gained the unique ability to split into smaller versions of herself. Each copy is self-sentient but she has some level of control over them. These clones are not mere images or semi-corporeal copies, but real clones with flesh, blood and organs. To deal with them, they have to be killed like a regular human would, which makes them far more useful. Pigu literally splits herself with this tecnique and there is no "real" one among the copies, since they all become "Pigu".

 The big drawback this has is that everytime she performs this tecnique, the copies get smaller and smaller in size, since she literally "splits" herself. Continually splitting in several copies makes all the "Pigus" progressively smaller and smaller, to the point she can get the size of a rat. She can revert this state anytime she wants but s he claimed that if she were to split into even more parts, she wouldn't have control of those parts and she would just die.



Also, her half-Puryo traits made her skin and body harder and stronger, allowing her to fight without wearing armor, which grants her a great agility boost and combined with her small body makes her an opponent very hard to land a hit on. Her copies make her a more dangerous opponent, but dividing in more than 8 Pigus becomes counter-productive due to how small they get from that point, so she never splits anymore than that in combat. Her current level by LP0006 is 30 and has a rather high cap of 45.

While these traits grant her good potential in combat, she lacks any sort of fighting skills and doesn't really have much experience on the battlefield. She isn't capable of wielding any weaponry efficiently and mostly relies in kicks and punches that are boosted by her natural half-puryo self. Also, spliting in combat makes her weaker and more vulnerable the more she does, but provides better versatility.

Trivia

 * In the Rance IX popularity poll she was ranked 7th, being the least popular among the heroines.


 * Her special skill in Rance 9 is to split herself into half size copies. She gets 3 Special buttons, so you can get up to (2-4-8) tiny, butt kicking mini-lolis. Basically, a one Loli Army.
 * Her special skill to divide herself and split the health among the copies resembles a lot to Sienna's special skill in Mamatoto. Given the amount of Mamatoto references in the game, it is likely this is another one.


 * In Rance IX Pigu's weapon is called "Puryo's fang" while her armor is called "Puryo's skin". This can be seen in the screen where one can upgrade the character's armor and weapon. The player can see plans of Pigu's body with the german word "Geheimnis" (secret) stamped on them.
