A lively and starstruck young knight, Shandy Graff Marea is known for her energetic yet naïve nature and unwavering loyalty, making her a memorable member of the Rose Knights.
Shandy is a female knight of seventeen years old.
She is commonly seen in the uniform of the Rose Knights.
Her youthful appearance and bright demeanor make her stand out in a crowd.
Shandy is incredibly enthusiastic and easily excited by popular trends and heroic tales, often described as "starstruck."
She is somewhat impulsive and often acts before thinking things through.
Despite her lack of caution, her devotion to Piña Co Lada and her comrades is genuine and deep.
Her tendency to be easily deceived and her almost comical bad luck make her both pitiable and endearing.
Shandy is a member of the Rose Knights, a prestigious order within the Empire.
Her mission was initially to seduce Yōji Itami at Piña Co Lada’s request, a duty she was reluctant to take on.
After witnessing Itami’s heroism in defeating the Flame Dragon, she developed genuine feelings of admiration—failing her original mission by falling for her target.
She formed a chosen-sister bond with Panache Fure Kalgi and was selected as the next captain of the White Rose Unit, but declined to undergo language training in Arnus instead.
Shandy is a trained knight, skilled in combat and familiar with her unit’s tactics.
Despite impulsiveness, she possesses a fierce fighting spirit and a willingness to protect her charges to the end.
Her lack of caution sometimes leads to trouble, such as disobeying orders to avoid flash grenades or wandering too deeply during reconnaissance missions.
Piña Co Lada: Shandy’s commanding officer, whom she respects deeply and serves loyally, even if sometimes misguided.
Panache Fure Kalgi: Her chosen sister within the Knights, sharing a strong bond.
Yōji Itami: Assigned to seduce him, she instead develops genuine admiration and affection for his bravery.
Tuka Luna Marceau: Through Shandy’s embellished reports, Tuka was humorously misrepresented as a male hero.
Lelei La Lalena: Shandy once attempted to assassinate Lelei under manipulation, but failed due to the group’s countermeasures.
Norra: Fought a tragic final battle against her, which ended in Shandy’s death.
Shandy frequently overembellishes her mission reports, turning them into heroic epics, much to Piña’s amusement and occasional confusion.
In the manga, her “reports” are so theatrical that even Tyuule mistakes them for fiction.
Despite her popularity and charm, Shandy often laments her lack of romantic suitors, only to be playfully reminded it’s due to her tendency to be deceived.
She is characterized by her comedic and somewhat flighty mistakes, like staring directly at explosive flashes or going missing during recon.
In the anime adaptation, she survives and appears at Piña’s enthronement ceremony, bemoaning her single status with comic flair.
"It’s unfair! Why doesn’t anybody ever approach me?"
"Oh, that’s because I kept getting tricked… That’s right—ahhh!"
Assignment to Ensnare Yōji Itami
Shandy was tasked with the mission of seducing Yōji Itami to gain his allegiance for the Empire.
Not initially enthusiastic, her attitude shifted after witnessing Itami’s triumph over the Flame Dragon, leading to genuine respect and affection.
The Flame Dragon Incident and Aftermath
She reported their adventures to Piña, but her accounts were hilariously exaggerated—transforming real events into legendary hero tales and even altering Tuka’s gender for dramatic flair.
Her reports were so over the top that Piña commented they sounded like the prologue to a heroic saga.
Conflict and Betrayal
Shandy was manipulated by the Piper into attempting to assassinate Lelei La Lalena.
Thanks to careful preparation by her friends, the assassination failed, but it left Shandy grappling with guilt over being deceived by her loyalty.
The Final Battle
In the ultimate confrontation with Zorzal’s army, Shandy was assigned to defend Molt Sol Augustus’s chambers.
She fought ferociously alongside her fellow knights, persevering through relentless attacks by the Haryo tribe.
In her final moments, Shandy gave her all to shield the emperor, bravely falling in battle against Norra—the one who tricked her into attempting Lelei’s assassination.
Anime Adaptation
In the anime version, Shandy survives to the end and attends Piña’s crowning ceremony as the new ruler—still energetic and humorous, lamenting her romantic misfortunes.
When Piña was imprisoned, she adopted Shandy’s name as an alias, demonstrating the trust and recognition Shandy had earned within the Rose Knights.
Shandy is voiced by Rumi Ōkubo in the anime adaptation.
