Background / History
As the War Song Princess, Sandora was among the Old Empire's most renowned war leaders. She led her Legion through expeditions across countless worlds and destroyed worlds too thoroughly corrupted by the Abyss to be purified; Pandora summarized her scale of killing as counting “by race as the basic unit.” 152
During the Empire's collapse, Sandora and the Vengeance Legion were isolated from the spiritual network and stranded on Earth for 57,000 years. The later account of Abyss Shilin confirms that the isolation was part of a preservation effort that protected the Legion from the wider Abyss infection devastating the Empire. 31 1455 1504
Chen Jun first encountered Sandora at the Vengeance Legion's base after sensing their shared Emperor-level mental link. She accidentally injured him during the contact, then treated him and strengthened his body; believing he might have come to remove her from Earth, she asked whether he was there to “take [her] back.” 32 Soon afterward, she disclosed that she had suffered Abyss erosion but retained her sanity and self-control. 34
Appearance
Sandora is a tall, slender blonde woman whose appearance combines aristocratic refinement with an unexpectedly playful air. Her usual public image is that of an untouchable princess or empress, though her behavior around trusted companions is markedly less formal. 32 44
- Dazzling golden, curled hair, with two prominent spiral curls framing her face. 32
- Deep sea-blue eyes described as seemingly able to look into another person's soul. 32
- Delicate Eastern facial features despite her blonde hair and blue eyes. 32
- Frequently wears a sky-blue, white-laced aristocratic gown. 32 465
- In Abyssal Form, black flames and a mutated clawed arm manifest on the right side of her body. 52 1499
- Her right shoulder can bear a black, rhombus-shaped Abyss-energy mark resembling the Imperial emblem. 493
Personality
Sandora is composed, self-disciplined, and highly authoritative in public. Her noble bearing and royal presence can intimidate ordinary people into compliance, while her battlefield persona is cold, proud, and absolute. 44 101 1284 As a commander, she is patient and methodical, stressing reconnaissance, discipline, and the avoidance of needless losses. 406 1315
In private, Sandora is excitable, clumsy, affectionate, and easily distracted by food. Her abrupt shifts between regal dignity and carefree behavior repeatedly surprise people who know only her public image. 32 41 465 She eventually makes a deliberate effort to treat Chen Jun's human classmates as equals rather than as insignificant “Carbon-Based Lifeforms.” 46
Despite her military history and fearsome power, Sandora is emotionally vulnerable about her Abyssal appearance and fears rejection by Chen Jun after revealing her monstrous form. 107 Her concern for the remnants of the Old Empire, former vassal races, and the Shilin homeland continues to shape her decisions long after the Empire's restoration. 782 1314 1606

- Her Abyss reaction has not weakened despite Chen Jun's purifying influence on other Abyss-infected individuals. 1499
- Prolonged or emotionally charged use can drive her into a berserk, close-combat-oriented state. 105 106
Glory Form — *Yulaxis Imperial Authority*
