Tilde Sharp

About
Tillday Sharp is a very ambitious girl from the Kingdom of Leazas who made her goal is to become the #1 female soldier. She's a commander of a platoon of the Leazas's Royal Guard, a young and promising knight that shows great talent and skill. At present in LP0006, she's only 15 years old, being one of the youngest among Leazas' knights, and s he's often called the "hope" of the Leazas royal guard. Her goal in life is to be the world's greatest female knight, to be strong, and to excel in every regard.

She was first introduced in Rance Quest as a platoon commander of the royal guard. She was enlisted in the Military after winning a few fighting tournaments and became the leader of her platoon after challenging and defeating the former captain in a duel. She tried to challenge Leila as well, but she refused, which led an irritated Tillday to claim that "she was scared of losing".

In Rance IX, she was revealed as one of Rance's Fated Girls and joined the Helman Revolutionary Army along with Rick Addison right after Rance joined as its General. They joined disguised, acting as regular citizens rather as representatives of Leazas, so she doesn't wear her Royal Guard Armor.

Personality and Appearance
She's certainly ambitious and prideful, and will get carried away when she gets praised a lot. She speaks in a very formal and arrogant tone most of the time and aims to be a perfect woman in every regard. She considers herself an A A A woman, femininity: A, sword skill: A, Intelligence: A. She sees other skilled women as her rivals, and grades them accordingly. While she's slept with many men to get several advantages, in search of a life partner she's very strict and would only accept to marry a man that fits her qualities of an "Ideal Man". The conditions she gave were that said man should be strong in heart and mind, charismatic and decisive, and someone that follows through without hesitating when they decide to do something.

She has developed a strong(one-sided) rivalry with her senior Leila Grecni, due to her great skill as the Captain of the Royal Guard and the strongest woman in Leazas. She aims to take her position as the Captain one day. Upon meeting Tokugawa Sen during the Helman Revolution, she also declared her to be her rival as well, being that she is a top class woman that she is aiming for. She usually deems every strong woman she encounters as a potential rival or adversary, but she tends to hold great respect for strong men, such as Rick Addison. She's not delusional though and is perfectly aware when someone surpasses her, which would only encourage her to work harder as a result. Despite her naturally unfriendly disposition towards other women in general, she's a good friend of Arlcoate Marius, who was enlisted with her in the Military Academy and trained as a knight alongside. She's a supportive friend, who recommended her to the Leazas Black Corps and praised her skills as a Tactician. It is likely that Arlocate's timid and unassertive personality is the reason they get along well.

She is very hardworking, willing to accept training from any warriors she sees as strong, and she strives to do it with elegance. Normally, she is a feminine girl, but when battling, her attitude changes completely, turning more aggressive and merciless, with no hesitation or fear whatsoever. She hates losing or retiring in battle, traits that come from the most prideful sides of her personality.



When in bed, she turns out to be a very lascivious girl, and she used her body to gain advantages with high-rankings in more than one occasion. At first, she attempted to seduce many of the male characters in the Helman resistance group, but with the passing of time she discovers that Rance is the kind of man she likes. Even though she claims to dislike the idea completely at first, in her special ending she accepts that she might have already fallen for him long ago.

She has a short green hair and wears a big white bow in the head. Her armor choice is quite different to the standard of the royal guard, being surprisingly more reserved, feminine and elegant, with also a cape and a long skirt. She's a very petite and short girl, being only 144 cm tall.

Abilities
True to her arrogance, Tillday is a very competent fighter. Her current level is 40 and has a Lv2 skill in Short Sword Combat, which means she might have already surpassed Leila Grecni as the strongest woman in Leazas. Her level cap is 44 so she's not far from reaching her full potential. In battle she maintains an elegant and graceful combat stance but she's also aggressive and agile. She's very confident in her skills and doesn't fall back with ease. She's a very skilled fighter that shows no mercy towards her opponents and can continue assaulting them with several consecutive thrusts of her sword for long periods of time.

Tillday is not only a skilled fighter, but a skilled pastry chef as well. Crook claims that this skill of her is level 2, a master pastry chef. Despite her natural skill, Tillday doesn't like it one bit, since she's someone that wants to be praised for her prowess with the sword, rather than her skill at the kitchen.

She also has a Lv1 Leadership skill, granting her a great potential to become a magnificent general in the future. Finally, she also has a Studying Lv1 skill, granting her a great talent for learning and memorizing from text books, which, along with her diligent nature, is one of the reasons why she excelled so much in the Military Academy.
