Glass (Web Novel)

Glass (グラス) was first introduced as a supporting character in The Rising of the Shield Hero Web Novel.

We are unsure whether the character has been introduced to The Reprise of the Spear Hero Web Novel.

She is a Soul Person from another world and later revealed as the Fan Hero

Appearance
Glass is a beautiful girl with long hair and a face in no way inferior to Raphtalia's. She wears a jet black kimono with silver embroidery like those worn during a funeral. She has pale skin that is slightly translucent due to her racial characteristics as a Spiritual Being.

Personality
When Naofumi first met Glass, he deduced that she had a serious personality. Glass is a person who holds strong loyalty to her world and, as a hero, holds high expectations of her fellow heroes, even when she is at odds with them, she disregards the Spear, Sword and Bow heroes for being weak, especially in the Light Novels where she actually doesn't believe they are heroes until she gets a close look at their weapons, and furthermore she has a cold impression of Naofumi for his thuggish demeanor. That said the event which made her question Naofumi's integrity is an event of him stepping on Malty Melromarc's head. She was willing to murder the heroes of Melromarc's world to save her own, but during her fight with Naofumi, she issued him(the only real hero of Melromarc in her eyes) various praises, and even seemed to become insulted and disappointed when his power ultimately didn't meet her expectations. In the web novel, where Naofumi defeated her, she even asked him for his name after her defeat, introducing herself in return, in short, she has a warrior's sense of pride and respect for a worthy opponent.

During her later reappearance during the tenth wave Glass showed utter despair for how her world was beyond saving and asked Naofumi and Trash to help save her people by welcoming them to Melromarc's world, she ultimately admits that her willingness to destroy her homeworld (albeit a homeworld that is already basically dead), is probably evidence she's gone insane. During the execution of Tact and his followers she notes she understands the need for such gruesome events, but ultimately finds them horrid, Naofumi uses this as evidence that she is still sane. She seems to actually get along very well with Naofumi. Also upon hearing Naofumi's story about Malty's betrayal, she ultimately acts unsurprised and notes that such people as her existed in her world as well. She seems to have a friend who she wants to find, a hero like Naofumi and the other three Saint Heroes, from her own world, however, she declined Naofumi's offer to locate her using his god-like powers at the end of the series and went off to find her herself.

Comically her devotion to this friend was romanticized in the legends that were created by her and the other heroes to the point of her finding and marrying said friend in most of those stories.

Background

The Rising of the Shield Hero
She first appeared on the Third Wave and was mistaken as the Boss of said Wave by the Four Heroes. She defeated the Four Heroes and returned to the other world as the time limit of the Wave has passed. Later on, she came back from the world at the other side when the waves opened a passage there and aided her fellow allies L'Arc and Therese in defeating Naofumi but the battle ultimately ended in their retreat. Shortly after, She and her allies side with Naofumi and his group against a common threat in Kyou, the holder of the book of the vassal weapons, who ignored the mission his holy weapon gave him and wished to harvest the soul energy that the Spirit Tortoise gathered for his own nefarious purposes. Eventually, she made peace with Naofumi after those events and a serious scolding from Kizuna, becoming allies ever since.

The Reprise of the Spear Hero

Legacy
As the Hero of the Fan, she saved the world. Her legends live on in the lore of many countries. She earnestly fought to prevent a process called world assimilation, she often appears in stories pertaining to the Hero of the Shield. She seems to have been waiting for someone, but it is uncertain whether or not they were reunited. Many plays and novels have her reuniting with and marrying that person.

Abilities
As the Vassal of the Fan, her power was equal to the other Vassals and Seven Star Heroes. She uses a form of dance to unleash her skill.

As a Soul Person, Glass uses a status called Energy as her power source. Energy is an attribute that constitutes Soul People's Vitality, Magic, Spirit, and Level. The more Energy she have, the more powerful she is, as Energy also influenced her Attack and Defense. She can execute skills by using Energy. If her energy is low, she will get weaker.
