Serendine Dikumenowlz Du Parthevia

Serendine Dikumenowlz Du Parthevia (セレンディーネ・ディクメンオウルズ・ドゥ・パルテビア, Serendīne Dikumenouruzu Du Parutebia) is the First Princess of the Parthevia Empire.

Appearance
Serendine is a petite yet voluptuous young woman with a confident expression. She has pink eyes and light pink hair in a complex style: straight bangs, a purple headband, and several long braids, ending in metal rings. There are also two loops of hair framing her face. She usually wears a military uniform: a transparent tunic, a low-cut breast plate with a spider design, shoulder plates with a floral design, a purple cape, a metal thong, shin guards and boots that reach her thighs. She carries a sword at her waist.

Personality
Serendine seems to have an energetic personality, and speaks with confidence. She's aware of her reputation as a tomboyish princess, but she doesn't seem to care; she's also proud of the fear she awakens on Parthevia's enemies. She has a familiar treatment with the people she's close to, and cares about Drakon as if he were of her family.

Serendine can become brutally angry if someone speaks ill of her father the Emperor, injuring the person in question by herself and also threatening with torture, though it's unknown if she carries out her threats.

She is a prideful person and prefers to be treated more as a warrior than as a girl.

History
Since they were children, Serendine and Drakon were very close, and Drakon used to follow her around.

Baal Arc
Dragul is thinking about the mission that is entrusted to him, and thinks aloud, saying that his brothers would never be assigned a mission of this kind. Serendine appears behind him and says that he shouldn't speak of such things so lightly inside the palace. She then greets him, saying that it's been awhile. When Dragul formally greets her, she says to call her just Seren, since it's shorter, and she addresses to him as Dragul Jr. Dragul asks her to call himself only Dragul since Jr was his childhood name. Serendine answers that he's too serious at times like these, and reminds him that when he was little he was a sweet little brother who followed her around like a duckling. Then she leaves that topic and says that she's heard that Dragul has been appointed the commander in the conquest corps. Dragul agrees, and says that, even if he's only the youngest son she treated him like one of her own family, and swears that he won't fail into the quest, because she will never do anything to soil her reputation. Serendine hits him on the head and says that she already has a terrible reputation as the Venomous Spider Princess of Parthevia, but that she likes this nickname, and thinks that suits her. Then, with a serious face, she says that if Dragul dies she won't forgive him, and takes her leave.

Serendine appears in Dragul's flashback when he's fighting against Sinbad inside the Dungeon. Serendine and Dragul's eldest brother, the Left General of Parthevia, Barbarossa, have been engaged and Dragul is formally congratulating them. Serendine is sitting next to Barbarossa, with a sad expression, and when she hears Dragul expressing his joy she becomes sadder, about to cry. She begins to say something but Barbarossa interrupts her, who thanks Dragul in an emotionless way and says to to the princess that he promises her a prosperous future of Parthevia. Dragul remains silent and Serendine's eyes fill up with tears.

After Sinbad and Drakon return from the Dungeon, she is seen staying with the army in the Contastia Harbor where Sinbad is said to be seen frequently. She orders her soldiers to capture Sinbad if they see him, and when her assistants tell her that there's no need for her presence, she answers that now they don't have many soldiers to mobilize, and she thinks that will make Sinbad pay for hurting Dragul. Then, some citizen begins to complain and insult the Emperor, which makes Serendine become furious and attacks the person who offended her father. She's about to punch the man again, when Sinbad suddenly appears and stops her. Sinbad calls Serendine "Cute girl", much to her assistants' dismay, who quickly introduce Serendine as the first princess of Parthevia. Serendine confronts Sinbad and poisons him, but he manages to steal the antidotes from her and embarrasses Serendine by totally exposing her chest. Sinbad takes her as his hostage and boards his ship, but soon releases her when he begins his journey, calling her "cute girl" again.

Dragul Arc
Back in Partevia, Serendine is preparing for her wedding with Dragul's eldest brother, she thanks her attendants Sahil and Tamila for being with her. As her handmaids talk about how the House of Dragul and the Partevia empire would now be closer, she becomes lost in thought. She thinks about how Barbarossa (or "the man in the iron mask") won't wait any longer for the wedding that she procrastinated over, she reminiscences of the time she was a soldier alongside Dragul she sadly says she was sorry to never have his back. She stated she had followed him when he entered the military academy up until now and is angered that he had not returned and had died in battle. As Serendine calls out Dragul as an "idiot" he falls down from the fireplace in her private quarters and the two stare at each other. She is first shocked at Dragul suddenly appearing and he explains how there was a secret passage that he used as a child, Serendine opens her arms and embraces Dragul; weeping happily and telling him how she was glad that he was not dead as she had presumed him to be.

Dragul tries to tell her something important, although he becomes flustered when he looks at Serendine he tells her nothing is wrong with him when she asks why he was acting strange. Dragul states that the clothing she wore made her appear "shining more than usual" while looking away in embarrassment, followed by Serendine laughing at his comment asking if he really thought that. She then smiles and holds her hand out to him, saying she was glad Dragul was still the same, commenting on his height and how his older brother Barbarossa would be happy to hear his little brother had survived saying they were holding a wedding ceremony here. Dragul looks at Serendine with fear at the mention of his older brother and  by his brother's orders, is to be executed, much to Serendine's disbelief and confusion. Dragul tells Serendine that his brother was just using her and tells her to put her faith in him; claiming that they had to leave Partevia.

As Dragul takes Serendine and her handmaids through a secret passage to leave the castle, Serendine stops Dragul and tells him that she could not go with him and that she was a princess and that her abdicating her role would cause the crown to fall in power. Claiming that this would betray her father and her country she angrily tells Dragul she cannot forsake her duties and being the princess will become her life's meaning. When Dragul tries to convince her of the dangers, Serendine angrily calls Dragul's name and is then interrupted by Barbarossa. He tells Serendine he's happy she is safe and says they should return to the castle. Barbarossa grants Rotter, one of his four generals to "do as you please" with Serendine's handmaids and Dragul; she watches the fight ensue with horror.

Her face is full of joy when Dragul manages to beat Rotter, but becomes distressed when Barbarossa attacks and seemingly kills Dragul. She is outraged at Barbarossa angrily questioning whether he felt anything for the little brother whom he attacked. The persona she believed him to have is false and she tells him that she annuls their marriage and that she will be sure her father will hear about this. Barbarossa calmly tells her that her father is dead, and has been for a while. Barbarossa described to Serendine that her father had became ill on his last campaign and on the day of their wedding he had become so ill that he passed away. Realizing that she was being used for the crown and that he killed her father, Serendine breaks down into tears as Barbarossa tells her as long as she obediently follow him, no one else would have to die. As Barbarossa forcefully tries to drag her away saying he'll be the emperor, Serendine screams and says she'd never be with him. She starts screaming Dragul's name and manages to wake him.

The next time she is seen is when Dragul wakes up, although she is crying and apologizes to Dragul, saying for her sake he had become one with his metal vessel, giving him the look of a dragon. Dragul however, said as long as it is to protect her, he'd always be happy. He pledged that she was his only master and that he would always be at her service. When he asked if the appearance he had now if she'd allow him to serve her, she replied that she was the Venomous Spider Princess, and it was in her nature to cling.
