the real pride royal ivy

Weapon Mastery (Last Boss Cheat): Pride can master any weapon or combat style—including swordsmanship, marksmanship, and close combat—instantly upon trying it. She famously defeated a seasoned swordsmanship instructor in an instant despite never holding a sword before.

High Intelligence & Perfect Memory: She never forgets a technique once she has seen or been taught it once. This allows her to adapt to any opponent's style rapidly.

Superhuman Physical Feats: Despite her petite appearance, her "cheat" stats allow her to perform impossible physical feats, such as landing unscathed after jumping from high buildings or cutting through iron chains and metal armor with a standard sword.

The Original Pride (In-Game Villain)

In the original timeline of the Our Ray of Light otome game, Pride was the exact opposite—the embodiment of evil. This version of her was: [1, 2]

Sadistic and Malicious: She took genuine pleasure in the misery of others, including torturing her sister Tiara and forcing her adoptive brother Stale to commit atrocities.

Narcissistic and Arrogant: She was completely self-centered, showing zero remorse for her actions or grief for her parents' deaths.

Manipulative: She used her high intelligence to cruelly control everyone around her, eventually leading to her own execution at the hands of the game's heroine. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Pride is the embodiment of evil as she has no redeeming qualities in her personality. Pride is malicious to the core and has no remorse over all the atrocities she has committed, including murder, manipulation and slavery. She is also completely sadistic, taking pleasure in other's misery. Presumably, she also did not care about her parents' passing and might have even enjoyed the fact that no one was controlling or guiding her. In summary she is prideful, selfish, self-righteous and narcissistic, which is why her original character was the complete opposite to her reincarnated counterpart and the reason everybody wished for her death.
