Malty S Melromarc

"Please don't do anything as foolish as to look for revenge. Revenge only breeds further revenge. If you, Mr. Naofumi, could bear to show mercy, then I'm sure the queen would be grateful."

- Malty Melromarc to Naofumi Iwatani

Malty S Melromarc (マルティ＝S＝メルロマルク), now known as Bitch (ビッチ), is the former first Princess of Melromarc and primary antagonist of the series.

Appearance
Witch was first described by Naofumi as a lovely girl with semi-long crimson hair, emerald-green eyes, pretty cute and youthful facial features, yet slightly shorter than Naofumi. Even after her betrayal, Naofumi admits that she is a waste of beauty and describes her as needlessly attractive.

Personality
Malty first appears as a friendly, encouraging, and flirty person, but under this mask, she is a narcissist egocentric, haughty, dishonest, corrupt, arrogant, amoral, treacherous, sinister, deceitful, selfish, greedy, and a compulsive liar - putting it shortly, she is basically a sociopath. She is shown to be highly adept at lying and manipulating people, and is not above insulting and making them as miserable as possible. She is deceptive enough to "cry" crocodile tears in order to fool people into taking her side.

Malty will do anything to get what she wants and is not above any kind of foul play, willfully interfering in otherwise fair matches. She will readily cheat to gain the advantage while at the same time considering "unfair" everything that may unfavor her side, revealing her to be a sore loser and hypocrite as well.

Malty is extravagant and goes as far as to use the country's treasury for the luxurious spending of her daily life, cynically calling it "for the sake of the world". Her greed extends even towards villages ruined by the Catastrophe Waves, heavily taxing them simply for her entry and exit. Her Mother mentioned that she already used her own body to gain some benefits - it is implied she went sexual on Motoyasu in order to better control him. In spite of visibly supporting (or pretending to support) Motoyasu, she is ultimately out for herself alone and stands ready to betray anyone, even her own blood relatives, for her egotistical personal desires.

Abilities
Malty specializes in fire type magic, but she also shows to be adept at wind type magic.

Background
According to her mother and sister, Malty hides in the shadow and enjoys bringing misery to others. It is believed that the reason for her malicious behavior is because her father Aultcray spoiled her while she was growing up, causing her to abuse her authority without any consequences. Her lack of discipline and repulsive personality led to her younger sister Melty to be chosen heir apparent to the throne.

To fix her bad personality, the Queen sent her to study abroad in a school at Faubley. But all that accomplished was Malty's "graduation" from virginity.

Volume 1
Malty (under the fake name Myne Suphia) was Naofumi's first companion and party members in another world. After noticing that no one joined Naofumi's party, she switched from Motoyasu's party to join Naofumi's party.

At face value, she seems to have joined Naofumi's out of the kindness but secretly she was doing so take advantage of Naofumi's kindness.

She used Naofumi as a stepping stone to make him buy equipment for her using his money (by spending more than he could afford), she also stole Naofumi's chainmail and money which she gave to Motoyasu as a present and later accused Naofumi of a heinous crime he never committed - raping her - so she would be able to win Motoyasu over.

Her actions made Naofumi into a dark, cynical, and distrustful person. Naofumi was made out to be a criminal and made the other three heroes distrust him in the process.

Whenever Myne crosses paths with Naofumi, she will go to great lengths to cause him trouble. She coaxed Motoyasu to force Naofumi into a duel to free Raphtalia, his only trusted companion and source of inflicting damage. She even cheats in the otherwise fair match by interfering with magic.

The duel was announced as Motoyasu's win after Myne's interference. It was later discovered that Myne was actually the princess of the king and that her real name was Malty.

Volume 2
While rewarding the heroes, she persuades her father to deduce Naofumi's reward for freeing his slave. but didn't have her way. When Motoyasu was named as the lord of the village, she in his stead, levy heavy taxation on the wave affected the village. After receiving orders from higher authority to back down, she challenged the shield hero for the lordship of the village.

She also cheats by having her guards cast magic to slow down Naofumi and boost Motoyasu in their mounted race. Even though she denies this and has supporters agreeing with her, her antics have been called out by others who are not under her influence.

Volume 3
When Melty's life was under threat, she went along with the heroes and tried to "rescue" her. However, it has soon become clear that she actually attempted to murder Melty for the throne and frame Naofumi for this other crime. Ren and Itsuki both witnessed her unacceptable behavior, while Motoyasu once again remained oblivious.

Volume 4
She continuously hunts down Melty and Naofumi in an obsessive way, even to the point of burning down an entire forest to find them. Finally, when the Pope revealed the conspiracy, she turned pale and started blabbering. Naofumi, after a very hard fight, killed the diabolical Pope.

The Queen exposed all of Malty's crimes, stripped her of royalty and, as an extra punishment on Naofumi's suggestion, renamed her "Bitch" for her false rape claims. Alternative acceptable names by royal decree include "Whore" and "Slut." She did not repent for her misdeeds and always tries to find ways to hurt or eliminate Naofumi, as she believes her downfall and subsequent misfortunes are entirely his faults.

Trivia

 * She is very unskilled in a chess game and was ranked lowest among her own family members. She can "win" only against her father, who held back to let her win.
 * Naofumi personally considers Malty's handwriting to be messy, crude and plain ugly.
