Backstory

Ines grew up constantly being compared to the great Brave Duchess. Because she resembled Olivia, she was burdened with excessive expectations, which led to an obsession with not losing to anyone, just like her aunt. This pressure significantly shaped her personality.

During the Rift Crisis, Ines, who had been training in swordsmanship within the Empire, fled to Earth following Maximilia and continued her training even on Earth.

Wanting to become even stronger, Ines has applied to join the Vanguards.
