Appearance

Princi presents as a young woman with black hair falling to her waist, dressed neatly in a blouse, an ornate bow tie, and a skirt cut to the knee. The illusion of normalcy breaks at two points. From her body extend eight spider legs that taper to curved, scythe-like tips honed sharp enough to punch through flesh. A zipper also runs down the middle of her face, its pull tucked beneath her chin so the whole front of her can be drawn open from below.

Personality

Because she spends most of her time wearing a human face, Princi behaves courteously and works comfortably alongside people, coming across as mild, well-mannered, and proper. Kishibe warns that the politeness is thin, since she will reportedly kill over nothing more than a rude glance. She slaughters zombies without a flicker of feeling, takes being mistaken for human in stride, and shows nothing even when her limbs are torn away. Above all she is bound to Makima, carrying out every order handed to her even when she privately objects.

History

Princi first sees action during the raid on Akane Sawatari's hideout, where the Violence Fiend briefly takes her for an ordinary person before she reveals herself by cutting down a swarm of zombies with her legs. In the campaign against the assassins she helps Makima and Beam mop up Santa Claus's doll puppets and is tasked with pulling Denji out no matter what and recovering the bodies of fallen hunters. When the fight spills into Hell, she rises from the ground to strike at the Darkness Devil, only to be flung back and stripped of most of her limbs. Her body then unzips so that Makima can climb out of her at the front line, a feat that brings the leader directly into Hell before both are returned to Earth. She is glimpsed one last time still limbless, standing among the crowd Makima holds under her control.
