Personal History

       Despite being destitute and homeless, Princess Vanaletta is accompanied by a small, delicate, and pretty maid, so much so that, judging solely by their attire, an observer might struggle to distinguish the attendant from the princess. While the princess’s robes are certainly magnificent, they bear patches and bullet holes; conversely, the maid’s dress is exquisitely refined, adorned with numerous accessories and perfectly put together.

       Vanaletta is a whirlwind of energy, fond of singing, dancing, laughing, and making a ruckus, whereas Bari is the picture of poise, composure, and methodical order. Vanaletta has a vast array of interests, while Bari focuses on a single passion: her mistress. Although Vanaletta treats Bari with great care, her warmth extends to everyone around her; Bari’s loyalty, however, is reserved solely for Vanaletta, and the bond holding this mistress-maid duo together is rooted in Bari’s near-obsessive, twisted devotion.

       In a wealthy noble household, Bari’s talents could be put to even greater use; she is dexterous and endlessly patient, capable of keeping a grand estate in perfect order. As it stands, her diligence is focused entirely on Vanaletta, making her more than equal to the task. Bari possesses the ability to manipulate water, she can effortlessly control the flow of liquids for cleaning or to provide her mistress with a gentle, meticulous massage, though she can just as easily use the skill to cool down the barrel of a heavy machine gun.

       Vanaletta is her treasure, a charge she must protect at all times; consequently, she inserts herself into every aspect of the princess's life, taking full control of her food, clothing, shelter, and travel. Anyone who approaches Vanaletta with ulterior motives is instantly branded an enemy, a tendency that, fortunately, spares the overly friendly princess from having to deal with many ill-intentioned guests. However, Bari is very much an indoor maid with poor physical stamina, so there are plenty of times when the roles are reversed and Vanaletta ends up looking after her.

       Vanaletta is a natural socialite who loves crashing weddings to sing, dance, and cadge free meals and ice cream, habits that Bari is powerless to stop. Seeing Vanaletta having fun with others would ignite a blazing fire of jealousy in Barry’s heart; yet, whenever Mazdak’s thuggish soldiers arrived and forced them to flee in a panic, Vanaletta would unhesitatingly scoop up the mobility-impaired Bari and dash away. Nestled in Her mistress’s arms, Bari’s pupils would transform into alluring heart shapes.
