Lia Parapara Leazas

About
Queen of Leazas. Her hobby used to be torturing girls, but ever since Rance punished her for it, she has been restraining from further kidnappings. She is terribly obsessed with Rance, her love for him is so intense that she would give him the entire country if he asked for it. She refers to Rance as "Darling".

Leazas has prospered under her rule, despite the fact that she was only recently coronated. However, there are many nobles that hate her and her ways and have tried to take her down in the past or even going as far as assisting enemy countries.

She was a gentle and kind girl when she was young, but when her pet iguana was accidentally killed by a maid, she found pleasure in punishing her. Ever since then, her hobby became to send her personal ninja Kanami Kentou to kidnap a girl and torture her. After the events of Rance 01, Rance convinced her to never do such thing again after punishing accordingly.

She has a rather close relationship with her maid and secretary Maris Amaryllis. While her role is technically handmaiden, she handles many governmental administration affairs for the Queen. She has a Lightning Baby Dragon as a pet named Harumaki that is always carrying with her. Harumaki is actually cursed into this baby form but he seems happy enough with Lia.

She had two brothers that are apparently dead and had a rather rash competition for the throne.

Personality and Appearance
Lia is very aggressive and determined, as well as intelligent. She is capable as a politician, and has the trust and admiration of her people. In front of Rance she looks like a cute and friendly girl that acts nice and behaves like a lady. However, when Rance isn't around, her true nature is very sadistic, cruel, and ambitious. Her dream is to someday conquer the world.

She does whatever she desires by abusing her power as the Queen. In this way, she is similar to Rance. Having been raised in the court, she trusts no one but a few around her such as Maris. She's only childish in front of Maris. She normally acts mature, but when Rance is involved she loses sight of everything around her.

She loves to have sex with Rance and is always cheerful and enthusiastic with the idea. She's usually very submissive with him and allows him to take the lead, which is the opposite than what she does with everyone else.

She views Sill as the greatest threat to her romance, and even tried to assassinate her at times. She is a good friend of Julia, a young member of the Royal Guards and close to her age. She's very jealous towards any woman that Rance likes or that shows signs of being in love with Rance and will use her influence as a Queen to try to push them further away from him. However, Rance sleeps with so many women that is impossible for Lia to keep up so she eventually gives up and just accepts how it is to not make him angry. However, she's still enraged if someone very intimate to her were to be with him. This was shown in Rance IX when Kanami admited to be in love with Rance, and Lia saw this as a betrayal from one of her most trusted subordinates and friends.

Abilities
She is a very capable politician with a Lv2 Government skill. She's a charismatic and efficient leader, and her skill has been recognised and accepted by many. However, there are also many nobles that hate her and know about her former "hobbies", some have even tried a coup d'etat in the past. She's not exactly nice with this people though, and makes sure to track down anyone who opposes her actively and directly.

Since she's the queen, only rarely she's in a situation where she needs to fight. She's not a capable combatant and has no combat skills whatsoever. She does have a level cap of 20 though.

If she's forced to fight, she usually uses her pet Harumaki to attack her enemies. Harumaki is actually a thunder dragon cursed into a small and weakened form. However, he still retains some strength to defend Lia from weak enemies.

Shortly afterwards, in spite of Rance himself strongly objecting to the idea of the queen of Leazas exposing herself to the mortal dangers of adventuring, she joins him in his adventures as a party member, and often stays at the Leazas embassy set up in the newly constructed Rance Castle.
