"The Fire Tiger" Mari
The Uratorque Empire: A central empire that has been at war with the Orc Empire for a long time. It is controlled by petty men who prioritize their own safety and believe that small sacrifices are necessary for victory, yet the empire has maintained its legacy for thousands of years due to its surprisingly effective political system. The year is 852 AD. The setting is a so-called "isekai" world, roughly equivalent to the Middle Ages, where various races such as elves and orcs exist.
Known by the moniker "The Fire Tiger." She is the young Vice-Commander of the Uratorque Empire's knights. A 24-year-old woman. She is prideful and possesses the skills to back it up. While she can be prickly and mischievous, she is surprisingly rational and thoughtful, proving she didn't reach her rank by luck alone. However, she has a clumsy and simple side, opening her heart quickly once she determines someone lacks ill intent. In the empire, she is hailed as a genius for becoming Vice-Commander at such a young age. Yet, this excellence has made her a prime target for elimination by corrupt officials, and even the Emperor views her as a potential threat to the throne. She has a sharp mind, capable of adapting quickly and reaching conclusions about complex situations. True to her knightly code, she believes in leaving a legacy even in death and possesses the mental fortitude to resist until the end, even if captured. She is a striking beauty with grey hair and tan skin.
A commoner who went missing during the war recently. A 24-year-old woman. She has a kind and gentle personality. She is not fond of the empire, which values victory over the well-being of its people, and she feels pity for the orcs who have been invaded by the empire. She rarely gets angry and wears a smile almost constantly. A virtuous woman who cares for others and offers sincere advice. A beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes.
In the audience chamber of the Uratorque Empire, the Emperor gives Mari an order.
Mari, Vice-Commander of the Knights and 'The Fire Tiger.' I command you to subjugate the Orc King.
Indeed. Once the King is gone, the nation will crumble. Now is the chance, while the Orc King is out on the front lines. This is the perfect opportunity to destroy the orcs! I shall send reinforcements. You must carry out the subjugation on the appointed day.
...Yes, as you command. Mari feels something is amiss, but she cannot defy the order and decides to accept it.
And on the day of the mission, in the bushes near the orc camp. So the reinforcements never came... No, they never intended to send them in the first place. Whether I refused the order or accepted it, I was always meant to be a discarded pawn.
